Hollywood isn't dead. It's evolving. And we're leading that evolution. We just shipped Koyal v2.5: The best Agentic AI filmmaking platform. It goes from your script or music to full video with consistent characters, settings & storylines. Large Production houses, music labels & ad agencies use koyal.ai (YC F25) for storyboarding & pre-viz. Smaller studios use it for making content they never had the time, budget or resources to create. Write a scene. Direct the camera. Build a world. koyal.ai (YC F25) brings it to life. Here's what's new: - Go from script to video: Write a scene with dialogue, pacing, emotion. Koyal fully realizes it. Using the best voice models on the planet. - Direct the camera: Push in. Pull back. Drift through a scene. Real 3D camera blocking. Shape the shot the way you see it in your head. - Build a world that stays:Lock in a location and return to it. Your scenes stay consistent from the first frame to the last. Plus: dialogue, SFX, annotations for editing, and more control over every shot. Under the hood, we benchmark 40+ models weekly with real humans so Koyal always uses the best available (more on that next week!) Our agents pick the best models for each scene in run-time so you focus on the story, we handle the complexity. You don't need to prompt a film, you can direct it. With Koyal, we're looking to replace the camera, not the filmmaker behind it. Try it now at beta [dot] koyal [dot] ai DM me for credits!

Something amazing is coming to Apache Kafka… Consumer Groups v2! If you’ve ever used consumer groups in production at any non-trivial scale, you probably know all the problems with it: - ⛔️ Group-wide synchronization barrier acts as a cap on scalability A single misbehaving consumer can disturb the whole group. Even if you have cooperative rebalancing and static membership enabled, you will still have rebalances happen. 🤷‍♂️ It’s a fact of life I've heard - death, taxes & consumer group rebalances. And the problem is that even with cooperative rebalancing (which helped a lot!), you’re bound on waiting for the slowest member of the group to complete the rebalance(s). 🐌 The problem is that no consumer can commit offsets while a rebalance is in progress. ❌ Another subtle thing is that with cooperative rebalancing, a rebalance will take longer than usual. Why? Because consumers are allowed to process partitions during rebalances. They will call the poll() method more infrequently -- they're busy processing records after all. Thus, the overall rebalance time will increase. This makes it pretty hard to scale to 1000s of members. - 🤯 Complexity There’s a reason you’re reading this! The current protocol is pretty complex and hard to understand. It's used for a bunch of stuff, including metadata propagation in Kafka Streams. This compexity results in more: - 🐛 bugs The harder to reason about and the more moving parts you have - the greater chance for bugs. There have been quite a few in the protocol. And due to the fact that a lot of the protocol’s logic lives on the clients, that results in: - 🐌 slow fixes Bugs require client-side fixes, which are slow to be adopted. If you run a Kafka ops team, you know how hard it is to get all of your clients' teams to upgrade! If you're using a cloud service, you need to wait for a new Kafka release to go out. Can't have the cloud provider handle it for you behind the scenes! - 🔍 hard to debug Debugging is harder because you need client logs. In the cloud, that's hard to do again. On-prem, it requires reading through a lot of logs and collecting a lot of files. - ⚙️ very extendable There’s a reusable embedded protocol within the rebalance protocol, where clients are free to attach raw bytes that only they can then parse themselves. It's challenging to build compatible software for this cross-client protocol, as well as near-impossible to inspect from the broker side. - 😢 inconsistent metadata Clients are responsible for triggering rebalances based on the metadata, but different clients can have different views of the metadata. - 😵‍💫 interoperability Different implementations of the clients (i.e. anything besides the Java client) may have bugs. The complex logic needs to be re-implemented quite a few times. This usually means more bugs and slower time to ship features in your favorite client. A combination nobody likes. ... So what should an open source community do? Move the logic to the broker! Then? Simplify it. The new protocol is very elegant - it streamlines all of the regular Kafka consumer logic inside a new heartbeat API. It has the broker decide what partition assignments the consumers should have, and totally omits the notion of a Group Leader client. Another major change is that the notion of a group-wide rebalance is removed now. The rebalance is more fine-grained now. 👌 When you think about it, a rebalance is simply a reassignment of some partitions from some consumers to others. 💡 Why does the whole group need to stop and know about this? It had to before because the logic was on the client. It doesn’t now. 🎂 The new protocol is fine-grained in its assignments. It maintains per-member epochs, as well as separate epochs for the general group membership and the global assignment. The goal is simple - get all of those epoch numbers to be the same. The order is the following: 1. the group-wide epoch is bumped. 2. the target assignment epoch is bumped. 3. individual consumers catch up to the epoch via the heartbeat request, individually. (fine-grained) In general, what you have is a simple state machine inside the Group Coordinator broker that’s running a constant reconciliation loop. 💥 Because every member converges to the target state independently, the coordinator is free to simplify that convergence member by member. 👍 It has the logic to resolve dependencies between members - the act of: 1. revoking one member’s partition. 2. confirming the success of that. 3. bumping that member's epoch before assigning that partition to another consumer. Here is an example visual of what happens when two members join a consumer group one by one:

BREAKING: Introducing All Access from Every 🪨, our new membership tier for the best builders in AI All Access subs get the Builder Pack which includes $7,000 in credits and free usage to the models + tool stack we use Every 🪨. All Access subscribers get: - $1,000 in Codex / @ChatGPTapp for Work credits - 12 months free of Cursor Pro+ - $4,000 in PostHog credits including self-driving to automatically fix bugs and identify issues in your production app - 1 year free of Framer - 6 months free of Notion And much more! (Did I mention $1,000 in Codex credits? It's time to build!) Get all access: Why All Access and the Builder Pack This is the best time in history to build something. For a long time, it’s been possible to one-shot impressive demos, but they’d fall flat the minute they hit production. But the release of GPT-5.6-Sol and Fable 5 heralds a new era: Everyone can build, launch, and maintain the software that they’ve always dreamed of. Everyone is a builder now. There’s just one catch: Building with AI is very expensive. (Ask me how I know.) (Alright, I’ll tell you. I accidentally used 2 billion tokens overnight this week on a big GPT-5.6-Sol run. Worth it.) This is unique in the history of technology. For most of the personal computing era, a billionaire and a solo builder could buy essentially the same top-of-the-line Mac. AI changes that: The more tokens you can afford, the more you can make. And we want to make that accessible to more people. That’s why the main feature of our new All Access plan is the Builder Pack: more than $7,000 in credits and discounts on the full stack we use to run Every, from idea to production—Codex, Claude, PostHog, Render, Gemini, FLORA, and more.

Congratulations ZackeryFox🌏2️⃣👽 for your 2D concept art submission our team then took & brought to life in 3D for #Earth2🌍✌️This skin took longer given the detail & quality of the modelling but was definitely worth it! Read below for more important details & updates: The first variations of #CybercoreX will drop in about 8 hours. As mentioned in the article when we first started releasing skins, after #E2V1 officially launches we will be cutting back on #LimitedEdition skins & will predominantly focus on unlimited skins. In some cases these future unlimited skins will not be available for resale. This was always the plan as these early #LimitedEdition skins were released especially for early supporters. We will still release #LimitedEditions from time to time, but if & when we do so it will be at higher prices - which has also been mentioned numerous times in the past but I am just providing this as a reminder. I think we have 2-3 Limited Edition skins remaining before we transition into the standard skin system with unlimited skins & periodic availability - so there are not many left and these final Limited Edition drops will contain a few more rarer variations. #CybercoreX took a lot of additional work & team members strongly suggested the skin should be sold at a premium price, however I decided to keep the pricing in line with the other pre-#E2V1 Limited Edition releases. It is also important to note that as with many of the other Limited Edition skin releases with guns, the assault rifle & pistol will be sold separately. I'd also like to provide a quick update on the #E2V1 public release. The results from the initial testing group have been good so far, there are some issues we are working on fixing but nothing major. Considering it was our very first ever software release of the #Earth2 Launcher AND #E2V1, anyone with real experience releasing major software products would agree it went very smooth. Some #Players downloaded the launcher and were inside #E2V1 within 20 mins without any issues! You have major game or software developers releasing products after decades of experience & a million things go wrong .. often simple things .. our release was the dream type scenario & a real testament to our teams dedication, talent & ability! I'd like to include the option to spawn #avatars for the pre-alpha public release. The team has implemented the majority of this system with a few things remaining, which are actively being worked on at present. I just want to be clear that this NOT the avatar spawn system you have seen in demo videos to date where we just randomly spawn an avatar anywhere, that is simple & we could easily release that specific feature but it was only for demo purposes to showcase avatars can spawn anywhere in the world. To be transparent, what we are working to release now is the actual avatar spawn system intended for long term use where Players need to synthesise their #avatar from their #Mentar on their property to begin its actual life inside #E2V1. It's important to point out this involves numerous API integration, UI/UX updates and is not a simple random spawn. We anticipate there will almost surely be a number of potential bugs with this release so the plan is to first have it released to testers (WITH BUGS EXPECTED!) then stabilise & prepare for the public #E2V1 release. If you see people publishing footage of bugs online, remember we are in pre-alpha which we released to testers less than a month ago & testers are there to help us test and find issues we need to resolve. Our team is committed to fixing any major problems as they arise to improve the platform and keep moving forward. We should have avatars into the hands of testers this week. Remember, once you are inside your avatar you will not have that free camera flying ability. This makes teleportation very important for #Players who want to travel to different locations. So we will also need to start testing the teleportation system, and there is some potentially exciting news I have been keeping close to my chest which will soon be revealed. As always, thanks for your patience and support! Remember, we are literally less than one month since releasing #E2V1 to testers (less than a month ago there were still those who claimed we pre-rendered everything) so these are still early days! It may feel a little slow at first but we plan to release things to do inside of #E2V1 progressively and before you know it there will be too much to do! #Earth2 #Metaverse #E2V1

To be transparent, what we are working to release now is the actual avatar spawn system intended for long term use where Players need to synthesise their #avatar from their #Mentar on their property to begin its actual life inside #E2V1. It's important to point out this involves numerous API integration, UI/UX updates and is not a simple random spawn. We anticipate there will almost surely be a number of potential bugs with this release so the plan is to first have it released to testers (WITH BUGS EXPECTED!) then stabilise & prepare for the public #E2V1 release. If you see people publishing footage of bugs online, remember we are in pre-alpha which we released to testers less than a month ago & testers are there to help us test and find issues we need to resolve. Our team is committed to fixing any major problems as they arise to improve the platform and keep moving forward. We should have avatars into the hands of testers this week. Remember, once you are inside your avatar you will not have that free camera flying ability. This makes teleportation very important for #Players who want to travel to different locations. So we will also need to start testing the teleportation system, and there is some potentially exciting news I have been keeping close to my chest which will soon be revealed. As always, thanks for your patience and support! Remember, we are literally less than one month since releasing #E2V1 to testers (less than a month ago there were still those who claimed we pre-rendered everything) so these are still early days! It may feel a little slow at first but we plan to release things to do inside of #E2V1 progressively and before you know it there will be too much to do! #Earth2 #Metaverse #E2V1

[ENG] G-DRAGON's Order of Cultural Merit - Jewel Crown Acceptance Speech 🐉: Hello. This year's youngest recipient of Order of Cultural Merit, I'm a singer, G-Dragon. 🙋🏻‍♀️: YOU'RE SO HANDSOMEEEE!!!! 🐉: I know, I know, I know, I know ~ I had a comeback after resting for a bit- for a while, and next week is gonna be exactly one year since I made my comeback. In my memory, I think I was 6 years old when I held my mom's hand and dragged her with my whole body, the first place we went to was an audition site. From that day on, until now I have been dreaming the same dream, in my 10s since being a singer is my dream, so my dream came true, in my 20s I received awards, and today in my 30s I even received the Order of Cultural Merit - Jewel Crown, I really look forward to my 40s. Ah, I just happened to urgently took a restroom break and ran back here in a hurry, I actually prepared a lot for today, but I'm so out of breath. I prepared a lot, but the moment I'm on stage I'm not really sure of what I should be saying. First of all, when I was young, I really respected singers, and that's how it is now as well. I'm so proud of the fact that I, myself is a singer, I really like what I'm doing, I love it. Not only that, so many sunbaenims that made me dream, those people to me are like shining stars at night. So I grew up listening to the song of stars, after becoming one of those stars myself, next year my group will be celebrating its 20th anniversary, I wish to share this honor together with my members. Thank you to VIP, FAM, and the fans. I'm currently in the middle of my world tour, it's really surprising. Every day, dream-like things are happening. I have been continuously saying 'good night, have a nice dream' before going to sleep like it's nothing but I think it carries such a powerful meaning. So when you have a good dream everyday, that dream also becomes the reality, and when that reality becomes a dream, you can have a new dream, and when you chase for that dream day-by-day, even if your good dream didn't become a reality, it always feels good to have a good dream, right? So to everyone, well as the youngest- I might be only this year's youngest, but I also have a bit of experience, I hope you have a good dream. Thank you.

I've had 3 cases of complaints to my employer, NHS. 1. From a gay guy I worked with who claims I've been homophobic for not going along with the trans ideology. 2. A Muslim, who because I've spoken out about the grooming gangs reported me for being islamophobic. 3. Someone very high up in the Royal Stoke Hospital, hosted an anti-racism event within the hospital & posted pictures of it on a staff FB forum. I commented about how a Pakistani is being racist to me. Me posting that has now ment I'm under investigation for being islamophobic. The first two allegations, the NHS has found that both accusers have been lying. They both made wild claims about me. Both, tried to get me arrested & locked up. I have asked the NHS what actions will be taken against the gay gentleman who's been lying & trying to ruin me. They refuse to respond. They understood that the Muslim was lying & also was threatening me with violence. But I've still been islamophobic apparently. The Royal Stoke Hospital has now hired lawyers to try & intimidate me. Previously I had meetings with the HR team what I have recordings of & in due time I will release because their incompetence needs to be shown. I've not been racist or homophobic to anyone. Next week I've got to defend myself against a lawer the NHS has paid for using taxpayers money to try & get rid of me. I've worked for this NHS trust for 16-years & never had any complaints. I worked throughout COVID while managers worked from home. The things what I witnessed during that time was crazy. The money that was wasted, the lack of care for patient samples. Staff members committing sex acts on each other. Managers covering it all up. We do not have free speech in the UK & if you do speak out you get your life ruined & you're tarnished a racist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic person. The NHS needs reforming.

Took 2 months off of the gym and as you can see it doesn’t look like it at all. That is because how you look is MAJORLY impacted by what you eat. In the 2 months off, I tracked my meals everyday and made sure to stay active by taking over 12,000 steps per day. I did feel noticeably smaller but I wasn’t concerned because my body is known to bounce back pretty damn fast when I lock in. And that takes us to, ‘Chapter 2026. The Lock In.’ This year in my off season I plan to pack on an OD amount of size. I say size instead of muscle because in putting on size, I’m guaranteed to pack on body fat as well. Not as much as I would if I ate whatever I wanted and claimed I was “dirty bulking.” I spent way too much time getting lean last year to lose it all recklessly. How I’m going to do it is simple and straight forward. 1. Track my macros. 2. Prioritize protein and increase calories gradually by increasing my carb intake and keeping fat at a moderate level. 3. Training on a 5 day split. 4. Keeping light cardio a part of my routine. 5. Focusing on my recovery. That’s it. There’s no secret sauce or formula. It’s simply doing what you’re supposed to do consistently and making it a non negotiable habit. Once you start to see progress it becomes addicting and you begin to love the process. If you wait until you “get there” you’re going to miss out on the real fun and journey. I’m going to be documenting the entire year with the core of the content I produce and release be to educate you guys on what I am doing in fun creative ways. I don’t want this to be a year of, “watch me do it.” I’d rather it be a, “here, do it with me.” Which is why all my workout plans and meal guides are available for download on my website. Simply pick a program that fits your goals, download, follow along and repeat. And if you want to take it a step further and personally get trained by me 1-on-1, bet on yourself and Apply for coaching while on the site. You know you’re going to upgrade to a new phone this year. Might as well get a REAL upgrade and upgrade your body and mind. You deserve it. ⚔️

🚨| Lewis Hamilton's post-race interview. "I mean, I don't count on myself unlucky. I think about, I think about my mistake that I made yesterday, so I take full responsibility really for the fourth place I ended up getting because I damaged the car, then when they rebuilt the car they missed something on the suspension, so the balance was completely different, so that meant I was probably a good couple tenths, maybe three tenths slower than I should have been in qualifying, and then I ended up further back, got in the incident, five second penalty, so just like a domino effect from I think a decision mistake from myself, so, but the team have been doing a great job with strategy, pit stops, we are continuing to improve the car, I think our pace today without the damage, I think we could have been challenging for the win." Q: Yeah, we're waiting on the obviously the release, and you were looking for a front wing change, and I think he's fine, and you were immediately concerned for him, but you're worried you might pick up a penalty for that. "I mean, I don't know what, I mean I didn't do, I did what the green light went, and so I went, you're looking over here, you're not looking over there, so that's more kind of probably on the team ultimately, but I'm just, when it happened, then I noticed him and I stopped, and I might just, what went through my mind in that moment was back when Kimi hit and broke a leg, and my heart really sank for a second, but I'm really grateful he's okay." Q: Just to look on the positive, you go to Hungary, it's a great track for you, you know, you're second in the Championship again, it looks like that will be the case, there's an engine upgrade coming, are you very hopeful that the season can gather momentum for you? "I think so, I think we've, this weekend, a bit unfortunate, and then Silverstone again, I think it's really great to see the performance that we're bringing, and we're improving the car constantly, I think we've got more stuff coming in the pipeline to try and close that gap down, but to be here and have the pace generally that we did as a team is really encouraging, and I think yeah, I think there's still a long way to go, I can't afford weekends like this in the sense of my performance yesterday, so I'm going to step it up in terms of focus level for next week."

As some of you will have read/seen, we recently regained financial and editorial control of PSN (PlaySportsNetwork) from Warner Bros Discovery, which means some changes for me. I could never have imagined when I joined GCN at its inception in 2012 that we'd go from a small start-up YouTube channel, to multiple channels with many millions of subscribers, billions of views, to starting a successful subscription service that showed the biggest races in the world and a heap of amazing cycling documentaries. GCN’s journey with Eurosport and live racing is something I’ll never forget - we achieved a hell of a lot in a very short time. I think we made some really positive changes for cycling, and I will always be very proud of that. However, it's been a tough 8 months or so for GCN - the shuttering of GCN+, and now the website, has meant we've lost a lot of very talented, hard working colleagues who are incredibly passionate about the sport. The show must go on, though. GCN is still full of amazing people, and more importantly, supported by an incredible community of cyclists. I firmly believe that the next part of our journey will be more exciting than ever - I want to be part of, and instrumental in that next adventure, the next chapter. Unfortunately, that means I will no longer be on The Breakaway or Eurosport’s cycling commentary. It's a part of my job that I will dearly miss, but more than that, I will miss the fantastic group of people (on screen/mic and off) who I had the privilege of working with there for the last few years. I really couldn't have asked for a better team to spend three weeks at a time with. Thanks to all of you who have been so kind in your messages of support for GCN these last few months - it's really meant the world to everyone at the company. As an aside, I know a lot of you have been waiting for the GCN+ documentaries to find a new home, and the good news is that they'll be available again via a YouTube membership that we're setting up LATER TODAY. I'm heading out to Florence this week for the Grand Départ, so I look forward to bumping into some of you there. Thanks for reading. Dan

The latest public comments regarding Senator Mitch McConnell’s health come from Kentucky’s 2nd District Republican Congressman Brett Guthrie. According to Courier Journal reporter Keely Doll, “Congressman Brett Guthrie said he’s texted with Senator Mitch McConnell but has not spoken with him on the phone.” The accompanying video shows Guthrie saying, “I hope he’s back in Washington soon… we need him back!” Guthrie did not provide any public evidence of the alleged text exchange or clarify whether the messages were sent directly by Senator McConnell or through members of his staff. That now makes three Republican leaders who have publicly claimed to have been in contact with McConnell. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Republican Whip John Barrasso previously said they each had 20-minute phone conversations with him, describing discussions ranging from world affairs to politics. Longtime McConnell ally and former staffer Scott Jennings offered a similar account on CNN. When asked live on air whether he would call McConnell to help verify those claims, he declined to do so. Meanwhile, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has formally sent McConnell a letter requesting an update on his health on behalf of the people of Kentucky. Regardless of politics, it is a highly unusual step that underscores just how many questions remain unanswered. As more lawmakers describe private conversations while little verifiable information is released publicly, skepticism is only likely to grow. If Senator McConnell is well enough to exchange text messages with members of Congress, why not post a brief statement on X, release a short video, or issue a direct message to the public? Any one of those steps would go a long way toward addressing the speculation and restoring public confidence. Questions also remain about Elaine Chao’s whereabouts. It has been publicly reported that she traveled to China for meetings with the CCP shortly after McConnell’s hospitalization. An unnamed spokesperson later told The Daily Beast that she had returned to the United States, but no publicly available evidence confirming her return has been released. At this point, the central issue is no longer simply rumor… it’s transparency. When official updates remain limited while accounts of private communications continue to multiply, public confidence erodes. Given Senator McConnell’s role as one of the nation’s most senior elected officials, many Americans believe clearer and more verifiable communication is warranted. Kentuckians, and the American people, deserve direct, transparent, and verifiable answers. The next question is whether yet another Republican lawmaker will emerge claiming to have spoken with Senator McConnell while offering no proof… or whether the public will finally hear directly from Senator McConnell himself.

This Week Building Exit Five (Bootstrapping a B2B Media Company): 1) We debuted new branding - new logo, new colors, new font, new design, website, etc. We worked with this great company called NoBoringDesign run by Eli Rubel 🏄‍♀️ and it came out awesome. The response from our community was very positively positive. Out of all the comments and email replies the best were the handful that said something along the lines of "this brings the business to life in a new way" and "this really feels like Exit Five grew up in a good way." A few people didn't like it and that's OK too. 2) We announced the details of our in-person event - it's called Drive. September 11 - 12 in Burlington, Vermont. Tickets go on sale next week. The event will be small on purpose so we only have 150 tickets available. There's already 216 people on our waiting list, so if you want to be there go to exitfive . com / event and put your name on the list; we'll notify you ASAP when tickets go on sale. 3) I recorded a bunch of new episodes of the Exit Five podcast. This week with Adam Robinson (talking about LinkedIn and founder brand), Jenn Herman (covering Instagram for B2B), Matt and I recorded Inside Exit Five for this week, and I'm talking to Amanda Goetz later today. 4) We finalized the concept for a new Exit Five community product. This will be focused on B2B Marketing Leaders on Monday morning (a smaller group that will be application only for Directors, VPs in B2B). You'll hear more about this in June. 5) The CEO of a big successful company reached out to me directly to try and recruit me to work for his company; flattering. But his pitch was to poo poo on my "little bootstrapped thing" to go work on something "much bigger and more meaningful." I am all set for now. I'm having fun here. 6) I played some golf, did a bunch of push-ups, and coached my son's Tee Ball team. I have so much I could write about that experience and what it's taught me about B2B sales, but I'll save that for later (just kidding; if you've seen the meme you'll laugh, if not you'll think I'm serious and I'll never write something like that I promise).

I have so much I could write about that experience and what it's taught me about B2B sales, but I'll save that for later (just kidding; if you've seen the meme you'll laugh, if not you'll think I'm serious and I'll never write something like that I promise).

They called us far right extremists when we exposed the rape gangs. They demonised us as racists when we spoke out against the growing Islamist threat in this country and the creeping of Sharia law into public life. And they called us conspiracy theorists when we exposed how the Pakistani biraderi exploit weaknesses in our democracy to manipulate elections. On every single occasion, we have been proven right. On every occasion, they have tried and failed to silence us. The question now is what happens with that vindication. The establishment cannot keep dismissing what ordinary people have seen with their own eyes, documented, and paid a personal price to expose. Our names have been cleared. Our evidence is a matter of public record. Now we must attack and take the fight to them in a way they have never before experienced. What is needed next is not more inquiries or carefully worded reviews, it is accountability. Real consequences, for real people, who looked the other way while children were abused and democracy was hollowed out from within. The same people that protected the rape gangs are the ones involved in rigging elections. When I tell you that children were sold for votes, this is the method that was used. We can fix this. We will fix this. We will take back what was ours and make sure a heavy price is paid by those responsible. Stand with me. ————- I’m Raja Miah MBE.

■ Mark talked about his MT2 on Twitch •Q: MT2 when? ●Mark: all right. MT2.. my, originally i wanted to put it out this year, but i kind of want to take my time just prepping it a little bit more. so it probably won't happen this year. but i'm working on it. ●Mark: i'll probably put out a few singles this year just to put music out, put some songs out this year. and then we'll see next year maybe MT2. (can't wait to hear.) ●Mark: yeah, i mean, i was working on the album, working on the music like you guys saw on the vlog in between my breaks. but i just, i don't know, i feel like, every single time i'm working on a new album, it takes a while, right? it takes a while to work on the album. and i feel like, i always end up wanting to switch directions and like the vision for the album keeps getting changed along the way. i don't know if it's like the process. ●Mark: i got feel like back then when we were doing GOT7, it was like, this is the concept of the album and stuff like that. and we would either make songs along that story line or whatever it is. ●Mark: but working, you know, like independently you guys have so much freedom, it's like you want to try so many different things. i want it to be really good, to be really good. so gonna take my time to work on this next album for you guys. because i do want to tour after putting the album out, so i want it to be good for you guys. ●Mark: (when am i gonna drop my next single?) working on stuff right now, i'll probably drop a few singles this year. but as for the album, it might take a little bit longer. ------------- Mark-ya, please freely just go ahead and finish it according to your own direction, flow and plan. walking through this process with you is exactly what we need to truly prepare ourselves for MT02. since this album is where your soul and time are poured into, how could we expect to listen to it without long wait? we'll be ready and waiting, too. so please don't worry about a thing and do everything you want to do on your own flow and plan. we are always rooting for you, artist Mark Tuan. we are not looking for a quick release. we want to listen to your music that reflects your soul exactly as it is. it would absolutely take time. we are with you every step of the way. we are always right here by your side. please just stay true to what you believe in. ​to be honest.. you looked like you had a lot on your mind when i saw your face today.. so thank you for sharing your process so candidly. have a good dinner and get some good rest with your babies. love you. 🤍 Mark Tuan #MarkTuan #우리마크

This is a big update! visionOS 2.4 Beta is now available and I’m genuinely excited! The public release hits in April, but here’s the rundown of what’s available in visionOS 2.4 Beta today: • Apple Intelligence is coming to Vision Pro! All those rumors that said the first model wouldn’t get it. Dead wrong. We’re getting Image Playground to whip up fun images, Genmoji for custom emojis, and my personal favorite, Writing Tools. This is just the start of Apple Intelligence on Vision Pro and I’m excited to see where it takes us. • Guest User feature! Hand your Vision Pro to someone, and your nearby iPhone or iPad pings with an 'Allow Guest User' option. You pick their apps from your device, kick off View Mirroring with AirPlay to see what they’re seeing, and guide them through the experience. It’s clean, easy, and something many of us have been asking for. • A new Spatial Gallery app! Apple’s curating a stunning lineup of spatial photos, videos, and panoramas from artists, filmmakers, and brands like Cirque du Soleil and Porsche. Can’t wait to dive into that. • A new Vision Pro app for iPhone! Browse and queue up apps or games to download, discover spatial content from Apple TV and Spatial Gallery, and grab handy tips—all from your iPhone. It’ll roll out with iOS 18.4 wherever Vision Pro’s sold. I think it’ll be super useful. visionOS 2.4 is a big step up and it’s another strong signal that we have a lot to look forward to with spatial computing from Apple. We are just getting started.

Fifteen years ago, we were traveling with burned CD’s and cut up old blue jeans, stamped with “The Head And The Heart” to put the copies in. We had no expectations and a full tank of gas. We had songs and we had each other…Our roots had grown and we were about to begin a wild journey. In those early days before record labels and long tours, we had a demo of “Lost In My Mind” that we had recorded in our apartment in Seattle in late 2009. It was loose, imperfect, and honest in a way that only first attempts can be. We’re so excited to dust it off and present it to you today! Listening back to it, we’re transported to that apartment, when all that existed was belief in our songs and each other. On May 1st, we’re releasing a 15th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of our debut record. The album has been fully remastered, and we’re including seven additional demos and unreleased versions from those early days- songs before they were polished, before we knew where those roots would take us. There will be a limited vinyl pressing available, along with the release on all digital platforms. The vinyl run is small and once it’s gone, it’s gone. Preorders are live now: Over the last year, playing these songs again has brought us back to the beginning, to that feeling of possibility. And there’s way more coming soon. More dates, More nights to celebrate what this record has meant to us, and hopefully to you. Thank you for growing with us. Thank you for staying. Fifteen years later, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
