🎤 Actors who are surprisingly great singers often spend years training for musicals, voice lessons, or stage performances, even if audiences mainly know them for acting. Stars like Anne Hathaway, Anna Kendrick, Amanda Seyfried, Emmy Rossum, Lily Collins, Millie Bobby Brown, and IU have all impressed fans with their... vocal abilities, whether through movie musicals, live performances, or viral videos. Many people are surprised to discover they can sing at a professional level. What makes these performers stand out is that they don’t rely on their fame alone—they bring genuine musical talent and emotional storytelling to every performance. From Anne Hathaway’s Oscar-winning role in Les Misérables to Anna Kendrick’s Pitch Perfect performances, Amanda Seyfried’s Mamma Mia! vocals, Emmy Rossum’s classical training, Lily Collins’ natural singing voice, IU’s successful music career alongside acting, and Millie Bobby Brown’s confident live covers, these stars prove that exceptional talent often extends far beyond a single craft.show more

I haven’t had the chance to attend one of these events myself, but I would definitely love to talk about how WilliamEst carry themselves in them. First of all, they are both people who truly love their fans and are genuinely excited to see how they grow together with them over time. Simply seeing more people than they expected is something that must make them incredibly happy. One way they show this love is by taking the time to greet every single fan. Many might say, “it’s something simple,” but it really isn’t. It requires coordination and security, both for them and for their fans. And the fact that they still choose to do it—even if it means extending the event—speaks volumes about how deeply they care. For WilliamEst, it’s important that all their fans get to see them. Because let’s be honest: being physically close to them doesn’t always mean you actually get to see them clearly or interact with them. It’s like having them right there, yet somehow still far away. I know both of them are aware of this, and that’s why they try to find ways to share at least a few seconds with each fan. Est talks with the organizers to plan a walk around the venue that allows them to greet all the fans, while William shares his idea of the route with LYKN so that every fan has the chance to see them or say hello. And you know what the best part is? It’s never just a rushed greeting. They take their time—to greet, to interact, to look into the cameras of almost every fan, even doing the poses the fans ask for. That’s what makes the interaction feel even more genuine. WilliamEst are the kind of people who don’t just stand on a stage above their fans—they step down, close the distance, and remind everyone that they see them, appreciate them, and are grateful for every single person who came to support them.

Most people know Anna Horsford from television. From Amen. From The Wayans Bros. From Friday After Next. From decades of making audiences laugh, cry, and feel at home. But every now and then, she reminds us that great actors do more than perform. They tell stories that matter. In her powerful recitation of Julia Fields' poem "High on the Hog," Anna Horsford delivers more than poetry. She delivers history. With grace, dignity, and conviction, Horsford takes listeners on a journey through the African American experience, exploring how a simple phrase carries echoes of a much deeper past. The poem reflects on struggle and survival. It speaks to how Black Americans transformed hardship into strength, pain into culture, and obstacles into achievement. What makes Horsford's performance so memorable isn't just the words. It's the way she honors them. Every pause. Every expression. Every line. You can feel the generations behind the story. For over five decades, Anna Horsford has been one of the most respected actresses in entertainment. Yet moments like this remind us that her gift extends far beyond acting. She is a storyteller. A keeper of culture. A voice capable of bringing history to life. Some performances entertain us. Others leave us thinking long after they're over. This is one of those performances.

The Star-Spangled Banner is not easy to sing. It’s rangy, for one thing. One and a half octaves are a lot to ask of the average citizen, as is the chromaticism throughout the melody. Also, the words are a mouthful and easy to mangle or forget (Just google “worst renditions of National Anthem,” and strap in. The number of professional musicians who have unilaterally beclowned themselves for posterity is mind-boggling). Personally, though, I’m more appalled by the professionals who remember all the words and hit every note perfectly but make the whole thing about themselves. This, I think, is the biggest reason most people don’t sing along as they should. It’s not because they “can’t sing” or because they’re embarrassed to sing in front of other people. It’s because of all these pop stars and professional musicians who have turned the privilege of singing our national anthem in public into a showcase for their own talent. Consider the famous renditions from people, like Whitney Houston, Alicia Keyes, Jose Feliciano, Marvin Gaye, and most recently, Chris Stapleton. Each give excellent performances that put their talent on full display. But that’s the problem—all these performances with all these individual interpretations have turned We the People into an audience of passive meat bags, standing mutely in stadiums and arenas all over the country, when we should sing along with unbridled enthusiasm. We don’t do this, however, because our national anthem has morphed from something participatory into something performative. And that sucks. If it were up to me, I’d require anyone invited to sing our National Anthem at a public event to do so in less than a minute. That’s right. One minute. After 60 seconds, your microphone is cut. Implementing this one, simple requirement would have myriad benefits, some of which I discuss and demonstrate in the attached video. Consider it a Star-Spangled Public Service Announcement from the Dirty Jobs Guy to all those honored to lead us in song. Happy Birthday, America! Mike

In 2015, David Ulevitch (David Ulevitch 🇺🇸) sold OpenDNS to Cisco for $635M, now he co-leads the $600M AD fund at a16z "It took me 10 years to basically have my overnight success" With a hard-earned operator background David shares his 3 key lessons 1.) Magnetic teams win. 2.) Capital flows to magnetic founders. 3.) Government & enterprise customers require deep, long-term (non-transactional !!) partnerships. & how its reflected in their portfolio among big names like Anduril, Base Power, Radiant, Castelion, & more BTW - While at Cisco, David was Senior VP & GM of Cisco Security, a $2.4 billion annual revenue business w/ more than 5K+ team members . . . "1.) I think the first thing is it starts with team & talent. The best companies in our portfolio have the best performing teams. And you know it's very easy in venture to fall in love with an idea, but what really matters is like is there a team there that can execute? Can that team magnetically the best talent in the world and get people to come work for them? People love working for Brian Schimpf (Brian Schimpf) at Anduril (Anduril Industries), they love working for Palmer Luckey (Palmer Luckey), they love working for Matt Grimm (Matt Grimm). Like they they just they love that team and they're able to magnetically attract the absolute best talent. Chris Brose (Chris Brose) is probably the most in-demand person in the like the defense space today and he's worked at Anduril since the very beginning. You have to be able to magnetically attract the best talent and and every company we look at whether it's Base Power (Base Power) whether it's Saronic (Saronic) it doesn't matter, Radiant Nuclear (Radiant) they just become magnetic attractors of talent. 2.) The second thing is these companies are expensive & you know we've learned that they have to be able to magnetically attract capital.. And it sometimes it sounds dumb to say 'cause like we're investing in these companies so obviously they got capital but they need to be able to attract capital from other people as well. And we found that these companies are so capital-intensive & sometimes the curve to revenue takes a little bit longer 'cause you're doing manufacturing and doing all these other things. ..nothing matters more than the talent at the top the founders of the company. Can they magnetically attract capital? Can they magnetically attract talent? Those 2 things matter the most. And then I think what I've learned and I learned that in my own experiences, and you know it took me 10 years to basically have my overnight success ..and if I think about the years that were not that last night before we sold the company.. like the lessons I learned were like every time I had to change the way the company was operating.. it always started with talent. I had to change out the executive team, change out the leadership team that we had, at one point we were a consumer company, we pivoted to enterprise halfway through 5 years in and totally rebuilt the team. Because the kind of people that were building a consumer company were totally different than building an cybersecurity company. 3.) I think the last thing I learned that was really important, especially to help me set me up for the American Dynamism practice, is at Cisco, at that point I was running one of the largest cybersecurity companies in the world, and I recognized at Cisco that like when you sell to the government you need to have the people that know how to interface with the government, know how to sell the government. These are very very strategic sales processes. They're not transactional. Oftentimes the customer on the other side of the table is sometimes betting their career on picking your solution. The same thing is true now with government. When somebody who's a procurement officer, or a program officer, is betting on a defense startup to provide some solution they're really betting on their career in many cases to say like "I hope that Anduril or Saronic, or whoever, Castelion () can deliver this solution for me." And so I think you need to recognize & appreciate, and this is what I learned at Cisco that these partnerships are just not transactional. They're deep relationships. You're gonna work with these people for years on these complex large you know $10 million plus deals & I learned that on the enterprise side at Cisco I see it now over & over in the AD portfolio. I think those are some of the biggest lessons that that I learned talent & then really partnership with your customers."

Hirokazu Koreeda on how he directs Children: "Interviewer: I think 'Shoplifters' (2018) is very remarkable in showing different sides of a city and like you said, people who are pretty much invisible, but I do want to also commend you on another thing, is you often work with young actors, and they always tend to have a significant role in many of your films. How do you go about finding such dynamic young actors, and why do you often put these young people at the center of each one of your stories? Koreeda: First of all, I would say that I tend to make what I would call family dramas, and of course, you have to have children if you’re creating a family, but that’s how it started, but I found that as I did it, I became really interested. It became very interesting and fun to work with these children, and for example, the two children in this film, neither of them had any acting experience at all before this film. I brought them in, and what I find when you bring these children in, and you work with them is that the adult actors change. They become much more lively and natural in the way that they act, and I guess, at some point, I realized this, and I guess, became really attracted to the idea of having children and the impact that it had. Interviewer: Do you find that there is any struggle in terms of working with young actors, or in this case, young children who have not actually acted before? Koreeda: Just to clarify, I have worked with children in many of my films, and all of them have never had experienced before. I always go out and pick non-acting children to work in my films, so just, I wanted to put that out there. In terms of the struggle, it does take time. You have to give extra time to work with these children. When I choose these children, I have an audition, and I pick out who I want to the audition, and then when we get to set, I never give them the script. No child that I’ve worked with has been given a script beforehand, and when I get to the actual part where they’re going to be acting, I give them the lines myself, and work with them and coach them. What I find is that it’s actually really enjoyable, both for them and for myself that way. I also, because I’ve been doing this now for several years, I tend to have a fairly high success rate in choosing children that are able to work with me in that way. Interviewer: That’s fascinating, and it also shows how you are able to create such authentic performances from these child actors over and over again in so many of your films. I think it’s a unique gift that you have, and it’s something that very few directors, I think, here in the United States do. Koreeda: It’s true, I guess by working with these children, I learned. I discovered that the best way to do it was just to communicate verbally their lines, rather than giving them in a written format, and over time, this really worked, and so I just kept doing it. But, interestingly, I loved the movie 'Kramer vs Kramer' (1979), directed by Robert Benton, and one time I bought the movie with all the extra, the making of and everything, and I went over it, and I found through that, that in fact, the child in that movie was also given his lines every day by the assistant director each morning when they came in to set, so I discovered that it wasn’t just me that was doing this." (Koreeda's interview with Scott Menzel, We Live Entertainment, 2018)

😱🤬 Pasulka Introduces NYT viewers to the P Word! 🤬😱 "Some of them know that if they utilize the tools of their own religion...it seems to help the Hitchhiker Effect." ~Pasulka Also Pasulka: I've spoken to people who claim they've seen non-human machines. They have not told me where. Plus. Dr. Eric Davis and protecting the crash retrieval program from, "those morons." ~ Ross Douthat: "What do...the 25 inner circle people who communicate with you think they're studying?" dwpasulka: "So there are inner circles and inner inner circles. RD: "Always." DP: "Yeah. So the people who, I think, have most interfaced with this, they don't know what it is. That's my opinion. But they think that it's very important to study, because it seems to be taking an interest in us. There is another inner circle that, again, doesn't know what it is, but is able to do some, you know, physics work, and recognizes how advanced the propulsion mechanisms are. But also, these people have interfaced with it enough to know that it is umm, it has some trickster elements. "They have a name for it, by the way. It's called the Hitchhiker Effect. The idea that when a person has an experience, it often sticks to them. It's like a hitchhiker, it goes home with them. And, say they have an experience, and then they have sometimes poltergeist activity in their home. They might move, and it moves with them. And this is something that is, to me, seems to be straight out of religious traditions. Because it looks like, you know, the tricksters of religious traditions. (The P word is: Poltergeist 🙂 ) "And some of these people are able to extract themselves from this through their own religious tradition. So this is how religion then comes back in an unexpected way to me." ~~~Skinwalker Ranch owner, Brandon Fugal~~~ Fugal: “The dreaded ‘Hitchhiker Effect’ is real. We have been tracking numerous incidents. It is not a virus. It is non-human intelligence attaching itself to those it selects.” Murgia: ”How do you know the Hitchhiker Effect is an NHI attaching itself to people and not something else? I mean, some of things I've read and heard make me think you're right. But other stuff makes me question that. I just don't know.” Fugal: “Good question! Whatever ‘it’ is, it exhibits intelligence, volition and unusual command over systems...” Murgia: “Have you, personally, had any Hitchhiker experiences?” Fugal: “I did not personally experience it until last year. After one particular day of conducting very aggressive experiments, upon returning home both my brother and I had issues.” Jack Holman: "Does one’s belief in god or prayer minimize the Hitchhiker Effect or entity or whatever it is?" Fugal: "There does not seem to be a correlation between any specific belief system and incidents involving the Hitchhiker Effect. That said, I ask that anyone who visits the ranch enter with a spirit of humility and reverence, with prayer encouraged, as it does make a difference." (That's all from recent Twitter posts where Fugal weighed in. If you want to learn more about The Hitchhiker claims, read, "Skinwalkers at the Pentagon," which is in my Top 5 of most important books on the phenomenon.) ~~~ Ross Doulthart: "For example, this would be a case of....someone has one of these bizarre experiences, and then they go home, right? And they suddenly have what looks like poltergeist activity or something around their house?" Diana Pasulka: "Yes." RD: "And they call their Catholic priest to say some prayers of exorcism. Is that what you're describing?" DP: "Yes, yes." RD: "That kind of thing." DP: "Things like that happen, yeah." RD: "So they bring an attempt to kind of [find a] religious resolution of what starts out seeming like a science fiction issue?" DP: "Absolutely. Yeah." RD: "Okay. And are there people who have, essentially...again, we were talking earlier about the concrete religions that have formed around UFOs. Are there people inside the government who you think have those kind of concrete beliefs? Who are like, okay, these are angels or demons, right? If they're Christian, maybe they think they're demons, right? Or these are literal aliens from another planet who we are speaking to. Are there people who get that concrete in the inner circles you're describing?" ~~~Eric Davis on Demons and the Collins Elite~~~ This is from my W/D MegaBlog from 2020: "[Dr. Eric] Davis went on to describe the so-called 'Collins Elite,' as unorganized, small cliques and individual fundamentalist, evangelical Christians within the government and DoD, who think UFOs and their occupants are satanic and their technology is demonic. Whenever these folks are in the chain of command, they will do everything within their power to expose, obstruct, block and shut down any program related to UFOs. "They will do whatever it takes to keep these programs from being implemented, from being funded or from getting new funding. Davis believes it’s pathetic and based on fear, incompetence and careerism. He added, 'that is what goes on inside the military intelligence community where the topic of UFOs comes up. And that’s why the crash retrieval program was buried as black and deep as it could be buried. To keep it protected from those morons.'” Source: dot net/wilsondavis2 ~~~ Diana Pasulka: "Okay, so the people that I know are not being that concrete. However, they still experience the Hitchhiker Effect. And some of them know that if they, you know, utilize the tools of their own religion - whatever that religion is, Anglicanism or Catholicism - that it seems to help the Hitchhiker Effect. But they also think that there's, you know, a real phenomena that they would like to back engineer and utilize." Ross Doulthart: "Real technology?" DP: "Yeah, yeah, absolutely." RD: "Machines?" DP: "Yes, yes. They believe that, they believe that. I have not seen machines or anything like that." RD: "You have not seen." DP: "No, no." RD: "Have you talked to people who claim they have seen machines?" DP: "Yes." RD: "[pause] Okay. And those people are... Where do those people say they've seen the machines? Inside?" DP: "I can't say that, but I can say that I've talked to them about the machines. And they have not told me where they've seen the machines." RD: "Okay." DP: "Listen, I don't know if they've seen the machines or not, or if it's an elaborate setup where they're seeing something. So, that's why I like to stay away from most of the government information about the topic. And these are the people that are working for the government, with the government." RD: "Right." (I think Diana's skepticism on whether or not these folks have actually seen non-human machines/craft is warranted unless we get some evidence beyond anecdotes.)

😱🤬 Pasulka Introduces NYT viewers to the P Word! 🤬😱 "Some of them know that if they utilize the tools of their own religion...it seems to help the Hitchhiker Effect." ~Pasulka Also Pasulka: I've spoken to people who claim they've seen non-human machines. They have not told me where. Plus. Dr. Eric Davis and protecting the crash retrieval program from, "those morons." ~ Ross Douthat: "What do...the 25 inner circle people who communicate with you think they're studying?" dwpasulka: "So there are inner circles and inner inner circles. RD: "Always." DP: "Yeah. So the people who, I think, have most interfaced with this, they don't know what it is. That's my opinion. But they think that it's very important to study, because it seems to be taking an interest in us. There is another inner circle that, again, doesn't know what it is, but is able to do some, you know, physics work, and recognizes how advanced the propulsion mechanisms are. But also, these people have interfaced with it enough to know that it is umm, it has some trickster elements. "They have a name for it, by the way. It's called the Hitchhiker Effect. The idea that when a person has an experience, it often sticks to them. It's like a hitchhiker, it goes home with them. And, say they have an experience, and then they have sometimes poltergeist activity in their home. They might move, and it moves with them. And this is something that is, to me, seems to be straight out of religious traditions. Because it looks like, you know, the tricksters of religious traditions. (The P word is: Poltergeist 🙂 ) "And some of these people are able to extract themselves from this through their own religious tradition. So this is how religion then comes back in an unexpected way to me." ~Skinwalker Ranch owner, Brandon Fugal~ Fugal: “The dreaded ‘Hitchhiker Effect’ is real. We have been tracking numerous incidents. It is not a virus. It is non-human intelligence attaching itself to those it selects.” Murgia: ”How do you know the Hitchhiker Effect is an NHI attaching itself to people and not something else? I mean, some of things I've read and heard make me think you're right. But other stuff makes me question that. I just don't know.” Fugal: “Good question! Whatever ‘it’ is, it exhibits intelligence, volition and unusual command over systems...” Murgia: “Have you, personally, had any Hitchhiker experiences?” Fugal: “I did not personally experience it until last year. After one particular day of conducting very aggressive experiments, upon returning home both my brother and I had issues.” Jack Holman: "Does one’s belief in god or prayer minimize the Hitchhiker Effect or entity or whatever it is?" Fugal: "There does not seem to be a correlation between any specific belief system and incidents involving the Hitchhiker Effect. That said, I ask that anyone who visits the ranch enter with a spirit of humility and reverence, with prayer encouraged, as it does make a difference." (That's all from recent Twitter posts where Fugal weighed in. If you want to learn more about The Hitchhiker claims, read, "Skinwalkers at the Pentagon," which is in my Top 5 of most important books on the phenomenon.) ~ Ross Doulthart: "For example, this would be a case of....someone has one of these bizarre experiences, and then they go home, right? And they suddenly have what looks like poltergeist activity or something around their house?" Diana Pasulka: "Yes." RD: "And they call their Catholic priest to say some prayers of exorcism. Is that what you're describing?" DP: "Yes, yes." RD: "That kind of thing." DP: "Things like that happen, yeah." RD: "So they bring an attempt to kind of [find a] religious resolution of what starts out seeming like a science fiction issue?" DP: "Absolutely. Yeah." RD: "Okay. And are there people who have, essentially...again, we were talking earlier about the concrete religions that have formed around UFOs. Are there people inside the government who you think have those kind of concrete beliefs? Who are like, okay, these are angels or demons, right? If they're Christian, maybe they think they're demons, right? Or these are literal aliens from another planet who we are speaking to. Are there people who get that concrete in the inner circles you're describing?" ~Eric Davis on Demons and the Collins Elite~ This is from my W/D MegaBlog from 2020: "[Dr. Eric] Davis went on to describe the so-called 'Collins Elite,' as unorganized, small cliques and individual fundamentalist, evangelical Christians within the government and DoD, who think UFOs and their occupants are satanic and their technology is demonic. Whenever these folks are in the chain of command, they will do everything within their power to expose, obstruct, block and shut down any program related to UFOs. "They will do whatever it takes to keep these programs from being implemented, from being funded or from getting new funding. Davis believes it’s pathetic and based on fear, incompetence and careerism. He added, 'that is what goes on inside the military intelligence community where the topic of UFOs comes up. And that’s why the crash retrieval program was buried as black and deep as it could be buried. To keep it protected from those morons.'” Source: dot net/wilsondavis2 ~ Diana Pasulka: "Okay, so the people that I know are not being that concrete. However, they still experience the Hitchhiker Effect. And some of them know that if they, you know, utilize the tools of their own religion - whatever that religion is, Anglicanism or Catholicism - that it seems to help the Hitchhiker Effect. But they also think that there's, you know, a real phenomena that they would like to back engineer and utilize." Ross Doulthart: "Real technology?" DP: "Yeah, yeah, absolutely." RD: "Machines?" DP: "Yes, yes. They believe that, they believe that. I have not seen machines or anything like that." RD: "You have not seen." DP: "No, no." RD: "Have you talked to people who claim they have seen machines?" DP: "Yes." RD: "[pause] Okay. And those people are... Where do those people say they've seen the machines? Inside?" DP: "I can't say that, but I can say that I've talked to them about the machines. And they have not told me where they've seen the machines." RD: "Okay."

It’s abundantly clear to me that Tim Walz does not understand what masculinity is, based on his demeanor and his constant comparisons of manhood to activities rather than attributes. When Walz was chosen as Kamala Harris’s running mate, Democrats immediately saw it as an opportunity to "win back" the men they had alienated with their anti-male, antagonistic rhetoric and irreverent messaging toward us. Kamala Harris had a quintessential "man problem," and they thought Tim Walz could shore up her failing male support in the polls. MSNBC fawned over him, portraying him as a sort of modern or new-age man who is highly emotional yet somehow internally macho. Through the lens of there being only two types of men—toxic and non-toxic—they spent so much time painting Trump as the toxic man that they were left with a try-hard, insecure figure like Tim Walz. There are many ways to tell if someone is insecure about who they are, but a clear sign is that they spend far too much time trying to prove what they are instead of simply being it. Trump doesn’t incessantly talk about how he’s a "real man" or use every media appearance to convince you he’s relatable to men through some stereotypically male activity. Whether you love or hate Trump, he just is himself. He’s confident—not because he says he’s confident, but because he simply is. A person who explicitly tells you how smart they are likely isn’t smart and doesn’t believe it themselves. This applies to any other internal attribute. It’s not for someone to tell you their character; it’s for others to assess for themselves. Tim Walz believes that masculinity is measurable by the activities he’s participated in and by bragging about how great he is at a given male-associated pursuit. While there are activities typically associated with men, those activities don’t make you masculine or a man. Tim Walz loves to bring up how he hunts, but there are women who hunt too—that doesn’t make them men or masculine. Walz’s insecurity aligns with my biggest problem with the political left and how they equate the essence of manhood with a list of activities instead of personal qualities. It’s no different from saying womanhood is equivalent to wearing dresses and makeup, which is an absurdly low threshold. So, what is a masculine man? Masculine men are balanced individuals who are not easily toppled emotionally. They are confident in their capabilities while maintaining humility and acknowledging where they fall short. Masculine men are calm under pressure yet recognize the need to step away from conflict when necessary. These men are purpose-driven and willing to sacrifice themselves for the people they love. Plenty of masculine men don’t know how to fix a car, play football, or hunt, because these activities never defined what it is to be a man. They are simply pursuits that men can bond over, learn from, or use to accentuate what they already possess. Walz is what I would define as a performative man. He’s a guy who is always trying to prove himself to the world, which is why he’s constantly talking about the supposedly manly things he does. He sounds incredibly goofy when he tries to talk tough, as if this middle-aged man is prepared to get into a street fight at a moment’s notice. But masculine men don’t feel the need to prove anything to anyone. They don’t speak recklessly, especially about engaging in violent acts. If you are something, you don’t have to convince anyone to believe it. People can tell what’s genuine and what isn’t. Tim Walz isn’t some new-age masculine man; he’s an insecure guy who desperately wants you to believe he’s something more than he actually is.

DON’T TELL US HOW TO SPEAK! Just as any two living creatures have a common ancestor in the tree of life, so any two languages have a common tongue from which they ultimately derived. Scientists currently believe that the world’s 6,000 modern languages, from English to Mandarin, can all be traced back to a ‘mother tongue’ - an ancestral language spoken in Africa 50,000 to 70,000 years ago. Differently put: all languages are descended from primordial African! This makes it all the more galling that Africans who visit, work or live outside of the continent are often taunted and laughed at because sometimes they don’t pronounce English words ‘properly’ - even though these words are ‘deviations’ (however far removed) from African-language words. The continent’s turbulent history of colonisation is the reason for the use of European languages in African schools, commerce and governments today. However, something that is overlooked is that most Africans are accustomed to speaking multiple languages, perhaps three or more, throughout the course of a single day. That’s one reason Africans pronounce certain words with an accent - they can speak other languages fluently enough for those languages to interfere with their English. In this clip, Anna Mwalagho (@mamaafricaanna) - an African storyteller living in the United States - gives a passionate defence of the uniqueness of African accents, arguing that this diversity is something to celebrate and be proud of. Hit like if you agree. Video Credit: @mamaafricaanna (IG)

Good Products are Opinionated. “Every great founder I’ve seen up close, or even from afar, is highly opinionated and they’re almost dictatorial in how they run things. Also, early-stage teams are opinionated. And the products they build are opinionated. Opinionated means they have a strong vision for what it should and should not do. If you don’t have a strong vision of what it should and should not do, then you end up with a giant mess of competing features. jack Dorsey has a great phrase: “Limit the number of details and make every detail perfect.” And that’s especially important in consumer products. You have to be extremely opinionated. All the best products in consumer-land get there through simplicity. You could argue the recent success of ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots is because they’re even simpler than Google. Google looked like the simplest product you could possibly build. It was just a box. But even that box had limitations in what you could do. You were trained not to talk to it conversationally. You would enter keywords and you had to be careful with those keywords. You couldn’t just ask a question outright and get a sensible answer. It wouldn’t do proper synonym matching, and then it would spit you back a whole bunch of results. That was complicated. You’d have to sift through and figure out which ones were ads, which ones were real, were they sorted correctly, and then you’d have to click through and read it. ChatGPT and the chatbot simplified that even further. You just talk to it like a human—use your voice or you type and it gives you back a straight answer. It might not always be right, but it’s good enough, and it gives you back a straight answer in text or voice or images or whatever you prefer. So it simplifies what we looked at as the simplest product on the Internet, which was formerly Google, and makes it even simpler. And you just cannot make a product that’s simple enough. To be simple, you have to be extremely opinionated. You have to remove everything that doesn’t match your opinion of what the product should be doing. You have to meticulously remove every single click, every single extra button, every single setting. In fact, things in the settings menu are an indication that you’ve abdicated your responsibility to the user. Choices for the user are an abdication of your responsibility. Maybe for legal or important reasons, you can have a few of these, but you should struggle and resist against every single choice the user has to make. In the age of TikTok and ChatGPT, that’s more obvious than ever. People don’t want to make choices. They don’t want the cognitive load. They want you to figure out what the right defaults are and what they should be doing and looking at, and they want you to present it to them.”

Witnesses we reached out to...said they were, "afraid of being killed." ~Luna 🛸 New Luna 🛸 Grusch, Burlison and Luna have been in a SCIF. Prior to that, "something really bizarre...took place with Grusch, and it's being handled at the law-enforcement level." ~Luna "Every single witness we had reached out to said that they didn't want to testify because they were scared for their life. These were legitimate, former military and/or military contractors." ~Luna Luna hints that Knapp may talk Russia and UFOs at the hearing. ~~~ Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: "We had tried to get another hearing with the Task Force before this one, and every single witness we had reached out to said that they didn't want to testify because they were scared for their life. And these were not people that you see in the media. These were not, you know, podcasters or anyone who's made a career talking about it. These were legitimate, you know, former military and or military contractors, and they were, literally, afraid of being killed. "And then you had David Grusch tell us, directly, that he was actually, you know, felt in fear of his life. And some things, weird things have happened prior to that first hearing. And then I would encourage all of you to actually reach out to him because, even just yesterday I actually went into the SCIF with David Grusch and Rep. Eric Burlison. And prior to that SCIF meeting happening, there was something really bizarre that took place with David Grusch, and it's being handled at the law-enforcement level. But, you know, things like that happening are not normal, especially being that David Grusch is currently Eric Burlison's congressional staffer. "And so, you're seeing a lot of stuff now flush out.

Now, let me take a moment to express how much I love, respect, and admire Becky. She is an extraordinary person, not only immensely talented but also incredibly kind, hardworking, and genuine. Watching her grow and succeed has been truly inspiring. From her acting to her confidence, her determination to her grace, she continues to amaze me with every project she takes on. I am so proud of all that she has accomplished and the light she brings to the world. Her ability to face challenges with strength while staying true to herself is something I deeply admire. Becky, you are an incredible role model and a beautiful soul, and I will always be here to cheer you on. 💖 Moving on! 😁 Let’s take a moment to appreciate that #FreenBecky, honestly, are a flawless duo. If you disagree, well, I hate to break it to you, but that’s just delusion speaking. Facts are facts, whether you like it or not! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Take a moment to consider that Becky’s name is part of FreenBECKY. They are recognized because of that, went global because of that, and, as a result, have been able to take on many more solo projects while also gaining even more recognition both individually and as a CP. How can you claim to care about Becky while constantly tearing her down? If you truly support her, it means embracing all aspects of her life, who she is, who she chooses to be with, and the people she collaborates with or considers her friends. It’s disheartening to see these so-called 'fans' trying to control her life. They undermine her, disrespect her, and throw insults with no regard for her feelings or well-being. Such people don’t deserve to be called fans. And let’s be honest, it’s not just one group at fault. While BTSS often take the blame, FTSS isn’t innocent either. Both groups contribute to the toxicity, and it’s truly disgusting to witness. Becky and Freen deserve nothing but peace, love, and joy in their lives. 🤍 If you don't love the other, at least show them the RESPECT they deserve... nobody told you to like them but at least show them the respect they deserve. 🫵 If you genuinely care about your favorite, show it by respecting and appreciating the person who brings light into her life, even if that person isn’t your favorite. You don’t have to like or love them, but at the very least, stop the childish behavior and let them live in peace. Grow up, touch some grass, and leave them alone. True fans prioritize the happiness and well-being of the person they admire. This means accepting relationships or collaborations that may not align with your personal preferences. Targeting someone with insults, whether it’s her co-workers or friends, isn’t just disrespectful; it’s harmful and likely takes a toll on both Becky and Freen. As fans, our role is simple: uplift and support. Becky and Freen have openly shared how much joy and calm they bring to each other’s lives, and if you genuinely support them, that happiness should matter to you too. Speaking to BTSS: If you’re not here for Becky’s happiness or to support her unconditionally, whether it's solo or CP work, then why are you still here? Save us all the trouble and leave, preferably while letting the door hit you on the way out. 😒 At the end of the day, all I want is for Becky to be happy. Seeing her smile genuinely, with that sparkle in her eyes that lights up everything around her, that’s all I need. And it’s clear that being with Freen brings her that joy. :🤍) Whatever their relationship may be, I sincerely hope they remain by each other’s sides for years to come. Becky’s happiness is what matters most, and knowing she has someone like Freen, along with her family, who brings that out in her, fills my heart with nothing but love. :) 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼 P.S: videos used are not mine.. I'm not an expert at video editing, but I just wanted to compile a few moments to show their memories and happiness together. Try not to smile while watching the video btw 😁 and the ending 💅😌 #beckysangels #srchafreen #ฟรีนเบค

If you disagree, well, I hate to break it to you, but that’s just delusion speaking. Facts are facts, whether you like it or not! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Take a moment to consider that Becky’s name is part of FreenBECKY. They are recognized because of that, went global because of that, and, as a result, have been able to take on many more solo projects while also gaining even more recognition both individually and as a CP. How can you claim to care about Becky while constantly tearing her down? If you truly support her, it means embracing all aspects of her life, who she is, who she chooses to be with, and the people she collaborates with or considers her friends. It’s disheartening to see these so-called 'fans' trying to control her life. They undermine her, disrespect her, and throw insults with no regard for her feelings or well-being. Such people don’t deserve to be called fans. And let’s be honest, it’s not just one group at fault. While BTSS often take the blame, FTSS isn’t innocent either. Both groups contribute to the toxicity, and it’s truly disgusting to witness. Becky and Freen deserve nothing but peace, love, and joy in their lives. 🤍 If you don't love the other, at least show them the RESPECT they deserve... nobody told you to like them but at least show them the respect they deserve. 🫵 If you genuinely care about your favorite, show it by respecting and appreciating the person who brings light into her life, even if that person isn’t your favorite. You don’t have to like or love them, but at the very least, stop the childish behavior and let them live in peace. Grow up, touch some grass, and leave them alone. True fans prioritize the happiness and well-being of the person they admire. This means accepting relationships or collaborations that may not align with your personal preferences. Targeting someone with insults, whether it’s her co-workers or friends, isn’t just disrespectful; it’s harmful and likely takes a toll on both Becky and Freen. As fans, our role is simple: uplift and support. Becky and Freen have openly shared how much joy and calm they bring to each other’s lives, and if you genuinely support them, that happiness should matter to you too. Speaking to BTSS: If you’re not here for Becky’s happiness or to support her unconditionally, whether it's solo or CP work, then why are you still here? Save us all the trouble and leave, preferably while letting the door hit you on the way out. 😒 At the end of the day, all I want is for Becky to be happy. Seeing her smile genuinely, with that sparkle in her eyes that lights up everything around her, that’s all I need. And it’s clear that being with Freen brings her that joy. :🤍) Whatever their relationship may be, I sincerely hope they remain by each other’s sides for years to come. Becky’s happiness is what matters most, and knowing she has someone like Freen, along with her family, who brings that out in her, fills my heart with nothing but love. :) 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼 P.S: videos used are not mine.. I'm not an expert at video editing, but I just wanted to compile a few moments to show their memories and happiness together. Try not to smile while watching the video btw 😁 and the ending 💅😌 #beckysangels #srchafreen #ฟรีนเบค

👤: I came across this and I'm really unhappy. Some people are belittling JossGawin, saying they’re not suitable for LOL. Ever since I saw LOL's announcement, JossGawin was already in my head. There's no way they wouldn't be there. I don't know how those people see them, but let me tell you, JossGawin have a lot of potential. For sure, they’ve already had fancon, and they're completely sold out. They’re possibly not too “big” as others, but they’ve done more than enough. They’ve also had fanmeetings abroad, toured across Europe (Paris, Madrid, London), America (Atlanta, Los Angeles), South America (Brazil), and Mexico. They’ve a perfect match which has many potentials for the company. 👤: I have to admit that JossGawin might not be massively popular with fans in Thailand or across Asia, but internationally they are very popular and have been talked about a lot since MGB. Even more than that, there were fan meetings in Taipei, Manila, and many other places. I can guarantee that, hey, the boys have a fanbase, even though their fanbase is scattered across many places. 👤: Everywhere they go, there are people who love them, people who miss them, and people who want to see them. And what's even more amazing is that Gawin sings beautifully. He's one of the individuals who should be in Riser Music. He is the king o OST. This is a guarantee that he won't get overshadowed on stage. He'll be one of the people standing alongside many solo artists in LOL, singing together, and I really want to see that scene, it's going to be grand. 👤: Now, as for Joss, he's perfectly suited for the theme. Why? Because it's a racing theme, and actually, the series "Replay," if it hadn't been cancelled, also featured a racer, which suits Joss perfectly. The whole theme, and Gawin’s amazing voice, are perfect for LOL. Have those people even watched their fancon? I've seen fan comments, and I can say with certainty that all the songs are amazing, and Joss is incredibly hardworking. Their singing voices are fantastic, very Western-vibed, and each song they sing is superb. I believe that when they perform on stage, they’ll be just as amazing as BournPrem last year who when they first joined the label, wasn't very well-known, but once they got on stage, they became memorable because they’re senior artists already. 👤: I believe that their performance will make people who don't know JossGawin, from other fandoms, fall in love with them for sure. I guarantee!!! Introvert Gawin doesn't really hang out with his friends much. He's at least occasionally jammed with others, but I can't imagine how Joss would ever jam with anyone. I want to think about shows, but if it's a show with Fourth, something sexy, showing off his physique, that would be amazing. #LOLFanFest2026 #JossGawin

It’s really important for Americans to realize that this is a bigggg misconception that applies to all immigration, not just China. The people who come over the border, regardless of whether they’re Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Central American, generally are “not their best”. I use quotes because that’s something Trump said, “they don’t send their best”. And he is absolutely correct. There are exceptions, but the people who cross the border, tend to be criminals, people who can’t a get a job, the uneducated, etc. Why? The educated can get jobs in their home countries. Or can immigrate to the US legally (at least used to). If you have a criminal record in your home country, you don’t have one in the USA. If you screwed up and dropped out of high school, you can cut vegetables in the back of a restaurant. Law abiding citizens of foreign countries, no matter what you think about the greatness of America, are not thrilled to break the law and enter a country like this. This immigration for many if not most of these countries is economic. Most of these people are not coming for a better life. They are coming for the currency arbitrage. Or at least that used to be the case. From 2021 to 2024 border crossing immigrants were getting free housing and cash debit cards (look it up) in places like NYC. So that, again, brought another type of person, but, again, it was “not their best”. So, unless you’re in a country that is experiencing civil war, or maybe a total basket case, you mainly go to the US via the illegal border, not for a better life but for currency arbitrage or because you don’t have a better option in your home country which has made it tough for you to get a job for whatever reason. Okay, now let’s talk a bit more about China. For the Chinese that cross the border, life is way better in China. They speak the language. There is less crime. They’re surrounded by their family. They don’t need a car in most places. It’s the same culture and there friends are there. Life is pretty good in China, and because they’re going to work hard in the USA too, it’s probably better in China across every single socioeconomic quartile of society too (unless you have a criminal record or can’t get a job for whatever reason). So when Americans write things like “Chinese are dying to come to America”, there could be a political issue there eg on the wrong side of the communist party, but it’s mainly Americope, something we tell ourselves. It may have been true 10 years ago, but it’s no longer true. America needs to change that. We need to go back to when everyone wanted to come here, not just for money but for a better life. And this is something you should believe even if you don’t want immigration. If this keeps up, if we keep letting life decline, eventually the currency will too, and all these people who actually work quite hard will not only stop coming, but many will leave too. The replies are all going to basically be like (without saying it) “shut up white American. You don’t know” Yeah but I do know because I talk to people who people who look like me don’t talk to. In the below video (before I got good at short form videos) I had just been thrown out of a migrant detention center.

For some reason, people seem to think that if someone is strong, athletic, resilient and never complains, it means they can be treated a little differently. You can suddenly hang on them, jump on their back, lean your full weight on them, have them carry you around the stage, sit on their shoulders, or shove them for the sake of a laugh or a memorable moment. After all, they'll handle it. They're strong. But strength does not make a person invulnerable. Behind a beautiful smile, professionalism and the habit of enduring everything, there may be pain that those around them simply don't notice. And even if they do, they may not consider it serious enough to change their behavior. What makes it even more concerning is when that person has already spoken openly about their health issues. Problems with the spine, neck or herniated discs are not something that should be brushed aside. A single awkward movement, an unexpected load or a sudden loss of balance can trigger a flare-up, a pinched nerve or even a new injury. And the consequences don't always appear immediately. Sometimes the pain doesn't set in until hours or even days later. Personally, I've never found these kinds of "jokes" funny, cute or something that represents a healthy family or friendship dynamic. When someone doesn't expect another grown adult's full weight to be thrown onto them, they have no time to brace their muscles, distribute the load properly, or keep their balance. In a split second, the strain falls on the spine, neck, knees and ankles. If that person is already bent over or in motion, the risk becomes even greater. The saddest part is that people who never complain are often the ones others worry about the least. They're seen as the reliable one - the person who can handle anything. But that's a dangerous misconception. No one should be expected to endure pain simply because they look strong. No one should become the target of these kinds of pranks just because they're capable of staying on their feet. Real care from the people around you isn't shown after you've already been injured. It's shown much earlier - by consciously avoiding situations that could cause harm in the first place. Especially when you know someone has existing health issues. And it's hard to believe that the people closest to him wouldn't know, when even millions of complete strangers do.. What stands out the most is that these "games" always seem to happen to the same person and involve nearly half of the people who are supposed to be his family. Why is he always the one people suddenly jump on, hang off, use as support or turn into part of a joke? I truly hope people stop treating physical strength as permission to keep testing its limits over and over again. Because health is not something worth risking for a few seconds of laughter or attention. Some things can be fixed. Others leave injuries that can stay with a person for the rest of their life. I sincerely hope that people will begin to see not only the strength of a strong person, but the human being behind that strength, someone who also deserves to be protected. Especially by those who are supposed to be family. And believe me, I'm not trying to be overprotective or act like an overbearing "mom". I'm not blowing this out of proportion and I'm not treating him like he's fragile. I know #Jungkook is a grown man. I know he's been with the members for many years. But none of that cancels out my concern or common sense. I expect mature, reasonable adults to understand why so many people are upset by these repeated "games". WE LOVE YOU JUNGKOOK ♥️

Kim Taehyung: The Voice that Transcended K-Pop “Perhaps that's why so many feel that listening to Kim Taehyung is like touching the past and, at the same time, the future of music. His voice doesn't belong solely to K-Pop, nor even just to the present — it belongs to the eternity of everything that has soul.” What can we say about a young artist who stood out from the start due to his unique tone, versatility, and emotional depth? In the K-Pop industry, marked by uniform vocal aesthetics, Kim Taehyung's voice has stood out as a singular force. From short vocal lines that add emotional weight to BTS's tracks, to solo songs within the group, originals, OSTs, covers, and his debut album “Layover,” with his deep timbre, technical versatility, and powerful emotional charge, Taehyung has broken the barriers of the genre and established himself as one of the most authentic voices in the contemporary music scene, becoming a landmark that transcends K-Pop. While he already stood out within the genre for breaking with the molded vocal uniformity, his voice has now transcended those boundaries and has been recognized as one of the most original, emotional, and authentic voices in the entire global music industry. This distinction is widely acknowledged by the industry, music professionals, critics, and the public. Unlike the standard response to other K-pop names, where performance analysis or typical, standardized visuals predominate, reactions to Taehyung focus on his musicality, his voice, and his unique presence, with authenticity and mastery. Many highlight the feeling of revisiting the best eras of music, evoking references to great artists and established styles, all to describe the feeling of listening to him. The versatility of his voice is another determining factor. Taehyung can transition between jazz, soul, R&B, classic pop, blues, and acoustic ballads without losing his identit — on the contrary, he imprints his signature on each genre. Instead of adapting to the style, he allows the style to mold itself to him. This ability places him in a rare category: that of performers who transform each song into a unique experience, with soul and authenticity. Kim Taehyung, more than a singer, has become an artistic reference, inspiring critics, reenactors, and listeners to see in him a living link between the present and the memory of the great names who shaped the history of music. Taehyung's voice touches, inspires, and leaves its mark, as only the greatest names in music history can. The Voice that Carries Soul: “There are voices that are heard, and there are voices that are felt.” Kim Taehyung's is that rare voice that penetrates the ear and settles in memory, skin, and soul. His vocal presence is a departure from the norm. While many sound shaped by effects or trends, Taehyung sings as if revealing hidden truths. Each musical genre takes on new colors when it passes through his timbre. Each genre, each era, becomes its own. The audience's reaction on YouTube is a clear reflection of this impact. Reviewers from different countries and backgrounds are immediately captivated by Taehyung's timbre. Unable to react to him in the usual way, they always connect Taehyung to the times when “singing was about transmitting soul.” It's as if his voice were a key that unlocks collective memories of music in its purest form. They explore technical terms, draw comparisons with great artists of the past, seek poetic explanations for what they felt, and describe his voice as something soulful. Many highlight how his vocal interpretation harks back to the golden age of music, evoking memories of times when artists imprinted truth and identity in every note, feeling their music layered. #KimTaehyung #V #Taehyung #music #musicvideo #musician #song #voice #Jazz #jazzmusic #soul #artist #soulmusic #rnb #blues #rnbartist #rnbmusic

This is what peace looks like. This year I made the festival all about the community. Built a playground, pickleball court, I hosted a talent show with kids, I cooked them food that was grown on the land they were standing on, taught their kids piano. They named the playground after my mother. Troy castle. They built, and worked, and supported. They performed and played and jammed and laughed. They told stories and exchanged food and their kids played. I’ve been on a bit of a jihad the last two weeks to publicly humiliate the people who have been lying about beartaria for the last four years. One by one. I used to ignore them but it festers. The light is always good even if it’s painful. I’m not doing it out of anger I’m doing it because I’m protective and they aren’t just going to keep slandering something so dear to me without a massive social penalty. I love these people and they know it. We’ve been through so many adventures and there are so many more to come. Look what a recluse comedian with an old piano who couldn’t build a ramp for his son five years ago can do. What’s actually special about me is that I stay myself no matter the pressure, and no matter what has happened and what could happen I love without fear and I speak my mind and my heart without shame. That’s it. We don’t live in “troubled times.” We just live in time. This is what time is. It’s always just time. And I got my field of dreams and we named it and we dreamt it and we now look forward to seeing each other every year. Because people will come. People will come.

"In 'Zodiac' (2007), I wanted the audience to feel like they went through the ringer with these guys,(...) in retrospect you look at it & say maybe audiences who are looking for entertainment on a Friday night don’t want that toll taken on them." --- David Fincher Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: It’s so rare to walk out of a movie and to feel like I know more about a subject than I did walking into it. Watching Zodiac is like the experience of reading a really absorbing non-fiction book, and I know that part of it for you was about honoring the people who were the victims of the Zodiac, but you also have so many details, so many facts, you take it to such a level where there’s so much information… why was that important to you? Fincher: I don’t respect movies that treat me like I don’t have the attention span or mental faculty to follow… it’s one thing to talk about Dave Toschi’s fall from grace in an oblique and generic way. I can answer that question in a couple of different ways. I wanted the movie to take its toll on the audience, I wanted the audience to feel like they went through it, like they went through the ringer with these guys, and I didn’t know how to do that because these guys didn’t run across rooftops and fall off fire escapes. In their quest to bring the Zodiac to justice they followed the trail of breadcrumbs as far as it would take them, and they kept pushing and kept pushing when there were crackpots coming out of the woodwork. I felt like I didn’t want to make one of those movies where you do montage/montage/montage and you get the idea that they went to the mat with this, that it took its toll – I wanted the audience to feel that. You know, in retrospect you look at it and say maybe audiences who are looking for entertainment on a Friday night don’t want that toll taken on them. I felt like anything less than that would be doing the story and people involved a disservice. You could do it as something compressed, where you get the gist of it, and we would have shots of Jake [Gyllenhaal] half asleep and you would have those obligatory shots where the boss says, ‘You look like sh!t.’ And in the end I still don’t feel like you get enough of what happens with his family, we don’t get enough with his wife and kids, but it was all we could do to get it in at under two hours and forty minutes. I feel like we took about as much time as you can really expect an audience to sit still for and we tried to make them feel what it was like to be invested in this circuitous run down the rabbit hole." (David Fincher's interview with Devin Farachi, 2008)
