#Flex1045xLYKN_LYKYOU #williamjkp —— things i want to tell myself : 🐶: i think i’ve said this many times before but what i want to say is that i want myself to be happy in everything i do. like don’t overthink, don’t stress too much. honestly, i’m not the type to take things seriously, but lately i’ve started to take things more seriously. things i’ve never felt before, it’s like i’ve started to feel. sometimes i’m not someone who overthinks but sometimes i end up overthinking and start paying more attention to what’s happening around me. and also i want to tell myself to be very happy, do anything and be happy without anything holding me back. even if it’s normal in this world that there are people who love us and people who hate us, it depends on us whether we can handle it or not. i want myself to be able to handle it no matter what comes next, whether it’s this year or next year. i just want myself to be happy with everything i do.

Mert explains what it will take for zcash:native to go mainstream "Zcash is an asset where you don't need a bunch of small money holding it. What you need is people who actually really need it to be passionate about it" "This is literally private internet money that cannot be taken from you, and it's quantum-proof. You don't have to worry about surprises" "The boring answer is just time, and more results delivered consistently, showing people the team is serious and has been shipping continuously since this thing started. It's not a fluke"

Sebastian Stan says making "Fjord" reconnected him to his Romanian roots" "It’s been a journey for me to reconnect with Romania. I left in a very chaotic way and I’ve really tried to educate myself about the country, and I’ve found through film I can learn easier. I think that’s what art is supposed to be about, right? ... It was natural for me to try to kind of find my way to re-bond with the country through film, and who else to do it with but this man, who I’ve admired for a very long time because he has such a keen eye on what’s happening."

Jin on his first time releasing a solo album: “Once I got used to it, I loved it! When performing with my members, we have a lot of various opinions, right? The music should be like this, and the choreography should be like this and stuff, right? But since I’m doing it by myself, I was like, ‘Choreography? None! These schedules? Delete it! But the fans want it? Oh really? Then include it!’ I can decide on everything myself. When they asked what I want this album to be like, I said I want to make it a letter to my fans. ‘How about we make a letter-like album? Okay let’s go with that!’ That’s how everything went. I had a lot more to do but I really liked how I could choose whatever I want. Since I love giving surprise events, I’m thinking of different things once the album is out.” SUPERSTAR JIN ON SALON DRIP #JinxSalonDrip

Woke up still heartbroken about Robert Duvall’s passing. I know he was 95. I know I never personally met him. But it just speaks to the quality of work this man made. He made people like myself feel like we knew him. Not sure actors like this will ever exist again. RIP to a titan

New Braunfels, Texas Mayor Neal Linnartz caught on camera talking about knowing the American people won’t want what they’re implementing, but they don’t care and are going to do it anyway “A lot of what we hear around here is, "We don't want it. We don't want that stuff." We're gonna push that aside, all the naysaying — let's just do it. We know that there's gonna be resistance, but let's set this vision and do it. I've been reluctant to share some of it because I know that we all get feedbacks from our constituents about, "We don't want that," "We don't want that," "We don't want that." These people do not work for you

Joe Bird on 'LEVITICUS': "What the script talks about is that this entity is this metaphor for homophobia, and sometimes only the victim will see it. Everyone else is just like, 'Oh, you'll be fine, that's not real.' But the truth is, it can hurt people, it can kill people. I think what's good with horror is you can hide in that situation to confront an audience — to kind of prove that point."
