an seyoung expressing disappointment toward bka "i've been very disappointed with the national team especially during times when i was injured, i can't forget those moments. while i want to continue playing badminton for the development of the sport and to achieve my own records, i'm not sure as what the association will do. but as long as i can keep playing badminton, i feel like i can endure any situation." "first of all, while i was preparing, i always thought that the olympics were a tournament full of unexpected events. so, i considered and prepared for every possible variable, no matter how small. that's one of the reasons why i kept playing without getting any rest despite my injuries. i wanted to be ready for any unexpected variable, so i didn't skip a single day of training, even practicing early in the morning, i wanted to be prepared for anything. my method might have been wrong, but i think this was a chance to prove myself so... i feel good (that it's proven). also about the athletes not being able to compete in the olympics just because they're leaving the national team... i think it's a bit heartless for the them. i think in badminton, singles and doubles are completely different, and i believe that athlete's injuries or any other qualifications shouldn't lead to them being deprived of their right to compete. however it seems to me that our association is blocking everything. it feels like they're forcing many restrictions under the guise of freedom. i do think badminton could achieve more progress, but the fact that we only won one gold medal is something worth reflecting on."

jihoon talking about working even harder from now on and his solo album someday… 🥹 🐶 (yonghwa hyung told me) “you did really well, seriously, you did well.” since he kept giving me lots of compliments like that, it made me feel really good. and it also gave me motivation, like i should work even harder from now on.. going forward, i want to work harder, keep practicing, and keep building the identity of the things i like… i don’t want to stop. i want to always work hard and not be lazy. in the end, it all comes back to me, and eventually it becomes one of the many ways i express myself as a singer 🐶 hyung said a lot of good things to me, praised me a lot, and even gave me a ring, so all of that was great but apart from that, i just felt proud somehow 🐶 so someday.. maybe when a solo album comes out, or- treasure is working really hard right now too, and i hope there’s no misunderstanding in what i’m saying. i love treasure. i’m doing treasure activities, but at the same time, there could be a day when i do music activities on my own too, right? you could say i’d be doing both in parallel 🐶 when that day comes, i want to really melt in a lot of identity, something that looks cool to people who know, and also looks cool to people who don’t. from one to a hundred, i want to think deeply about everything. i work with a lot of references honestly, my studio is full of them 🐶 (…) i’m always preparing. of course, i think a lot about the team too, and i think deeply about team activities as well. but i’m also doing a lot on my own, looking for references in the studio, talking with composer hyungs, working on various demos and things like that 🐶 whenever it is, someday… whether it comes out fast or slow.. someday.. if there’s an opportunity to come out properly after being prepared, that’s good too 🐶 either way, i’m going to do it someday. i have to do that before i leave this world. if i ever quit being a singer, i have to quit after doing what i want to do. i can’t quit without doing it. whether it’s fast or slow, i’ll do it eventually 🐶 so because the future is something i look forward to, a person can’t stop. some people might think this is like giving false hope and i get how this situation could look like that, but i don’t think that way. i’m definitely going to do it. and i need something i’m chasing like that so i can work harder, love the things i love even more, move my body, and live happily. i think of it as a goal point, and i’m chasing it hard… it’s fun~ 💬 i’m always rooting for you 🐶 i know very well that you always support me~ i’m so thankful. soso thankful, really. because of that support, when i’m able to release something, i want to put out something more perfect. not something that just looks like it quoted a rock concept and made something out of it, but something that really took that rock concept and those sounds and genuinely did something with them. if i were just going to do it halfway like that, i wouldn’t be loving this so much, grinding this hard, and practicing this much. i want to do it boldly, the way i truly feel.. haha it’s like that~ 🐶 so until that day comes, i’ll avoid things that are bad for my throat, take care of my health, and work hard. starting this year, i’ve been doing vocal training again, since december 2025, i’ve gone back into vocal correction, taking lessons on days without schedules. i need to work on my vocals too. 2026 is a year where i want to sing even better, everyone

Jordan Peterson on Elon Musk: "My mind is a storm… I don’t think most people would want to be me" "There was a recent interview with Elon Musk where he said something... 'My mind is a storm. I don't think most people would want to be me. They may think they would want to be me... but they don't. They don't know. They don't understand.'" Peterson explains: "One of the downsides to high-level genius is what you might describe as hypermania." On verbal fluency and creativity: "Here's a simple test. Write down as many four-letter words as you can in three minutes that begin with 'T.' Or write down as many words as you can in three minutes that begin with 'S.' There's quite a powerful correlation between the sheer number of words you produce and your lifetime creative achievement... especially in the artistic and verbal domains." He distinguishes: "That's different than vocabulary. Vocabulary is how many words you understand. Fluency is how many words you can produce in a given amount of time." The variance is staggering: "People vary to a degree you can hardly imagine. Some people... if you get them to do the four-letter test in three minutes... they'll write down 12 words. Some will write down 150. The ones writing down 150... their minds are going at a hypomanic rate. They're just thinking five times as fast. Without any remission whatsoever." On when it goes too far: "When that gets completely out of control, you have someone who's manic. There's nothing fun about manic. That's where the word 'maniac' comes from. Someone who's manic has a thousand different plans... each of which are one sentence long... that they're hyper-enthusiastic about. They'll spend every cent of their money pursuing them. And things just go immediately to hell." He applies it: "That's the outer limit of pathology on the creative front. Someone like Musk who's clearly a genius... that's what he's contending with in his internal landscape. I'm not saying he's manic because I see no signs of that. But someone that creative is on that edge." On minds that move too fast: "Take someone like Ben Shapiro. It's very interesting to talk to Ben... Russell Brand is the same way. Shapiro speaks more rapidly than anyone I ever met. But if you're with him, you see very clearly that he's probably thinking five times that fast. And that's a lot." Peterson shares his own experience: "When I was writing Maps of Meaning... my first book... I had a very difficult time shutting off my mind. I was obsessed with that book. I was writing about 3 hours a day. Then I was thinking about the material for like 12 hours. And the thoughts came way faster than thinking. They probably came about as fast as I can read... about 1,200 words a minute. It was just nonstop thought for 16 hours a day." How he coped: "That's part of the reason I started lifting weights. If I was lifting heavy... thinking at 1,200 words a minute while I've got 100 pounds on my back... it was enough to shut it down. It was also one of the reasons I drank. That was another thing that would shut it off." On the price of genius: "The price that people pay to be the person they admire is such an interesting frame. 'My mind is a storm. I don't think most people would want to be me.' The price you would have to pay in order to be me is not one you would want to pay." The interviewer pushes back: but you're one of the richest men on the planet, you get to release bulletproof cars and put rockets in space... Peterson: "Yeah, but what about all the baggage? He also appears to me to be hyper-conscientious. Musk isn't just a creative genius... he's also an extremely conscientious engineer. Really conscientious engineers have very interesting minds. When they understand something... they understand how to build it out of atoms. They understand it at every single level." On the rare combination: "Musk appears to me to be someone who's this rare combination of hyper-creative but also hyper-conscientious. And I know he works all the time." The interviewer asks: does that hypertrophied executive function help wrangle some of the diffuse creative energy? Peterson: "Yes. Definitely. Eric Weinstein is a good example... Eric is unbelievably creative but he's not particularly conscientious. I think he found an occupation where that works extremely well... he worked with Peter Thiel for quite a long time as his idea man." He contrasts: "Musk is hyper-creative and as far as I can tell hyper-conscientious. The conscientiousness does focus it. Lots of creative people aren't conscientious. There's no correlation between creativity and conscientiousness." The math: "If you're the most creative person in a thousand... and you're the most conscientious person in a thousand... you're one person in a million. Musk is probably more like one person in 100 million. Maybe more. Maybe a billion."

Namjoon about Swim💜 🐨: Next is “Swim,” and honestly, I really love this song. I think a lot of people were probably disappointed by it. Like, it’s not exciting in the way “Dynamite” was, and it’s not an intense hip-hop performance track like “Hooligan” or “2.0,” so some people probably thought, “Why did they release such a subdued, low-energy song?” 🐨: But the reality is simple: No better song than “Swim” came out. We never originally intended for “Swim” to be the title track. But we had to think about radio play too, whether the song would have longevity, versatility, and lasting appeal. And in the end, “Swim” was the only song that checked all those boxes. 🐨: Honestly, I think title tracks themselves barely mean anything anymore these days. There’s more of a “lead single” concept now. Especially in American pop music, there really isn’t this rigid “title track” idea anymore. 🐨: So what made me really happy after “Arirang” came out was that it wasn’t just “Swim” getting attention. Of course Jungkook charting happened and ARMY worked incredibly hard streaming and supporting, but I also loved seeing “Body to Body” becoming a hot topic “Hooligan” getting talked about, “2.0” getting attention, even “Normal” being discussed. For an idol group album, it’s honestly really hard for so many tracks from the same album to all get talked about and chart simultaneously. 🐨: Maybe “Swim” felt less sonically stimulating compared to the others, but I was still so happy that the album as a whole was getting that much discussion and love. 🐨: Writing the lyrics for “Swim” took a really long time. And honestly, it feels sad to say this in 2026, but I wanted this to become a meaningful song too. Since it became the title track — because no stronger radio song than “Swim” came out — I wanted it to carry meaning. 🐨: The truth is, I’m actually not very good at swimming. But I think I started seeing life itself as swimming. Even during military service, counting down days one by one… waiting, wandering, just swimming forward through each day, one breath at a time. That’s why this song feels really sad to me. To me, it feels like the song of BTS in their thirties: becoming more mature, building deeper rapport with fans, living more adult lives, each person carrying their own life forward. 🐨: So lyrically and emotionally, this song means a lot to me personally. Of course, maybe it would’ve been nice if there had been an even better title track. But I think this is the kind of song that will stay with me for a very long time. Honestly, I wish it received even more love. 🐨: Of course, performance is such an important part of who we are, and BTS grew from intense hip-hop sounds and powerful performances, so I understand why some people might find “Swim” underwhelming. 🐨: But for me… “Swim” is the kind of song I’d want to hear at my own grave someday. It sounds like a love song, but it’s also about life itself. I wanted it to feel open enough to be interpreted both ways. Looking at “you” beneath the moon and the sharks — that “you” could be someone I love, the fans, myself, or even my own life. 🐨: I think it’s a very rare song that contains all kinds of emotions together, joy, anger, sorrow, happiness. So yeah… that’s what “Swim” is to me. Personally, I just wish more people would love it a little more. And honestly, after finishing this album, I think I came to a sad conclusion: people don’t really listen to lyrics anymore. So if anyone hears what I’m saying now, I hope they’ll go back and look a little more deeply at what we were trying to say through this album. That’s my personal wish. 🐨: I still have a lot more I want to say about “Swim,” and I think I’ll probably keep talking about it in the future too. But anyway, I really love this song. I also really loved the “Keep Swimming” campaign. Because honestly, life isn’t all that extraordinary. There are happy days, sad days… and all of us are just swimming forward one day at a time.

If you want to understand the Joe FlipperHead, Olivia Lamb, Karen Read and Aidan TurtleBoy Kearney chaos; FlipperHead (a guy named Nick from Philly) got confirmation Aidan recorded Karen Read. Then the recordings leaked. Basically, Olivia works for Aidan as a paralegal, now, but Olivia used to be close to Karen in the past (and Olivia and FlipperHead used to be close, as well, on a personal level). FlipperHead, for his part, is loyal to Olivia and Karen but FlipperHead doesn't like Aidan (much like other people close to Karen). Aidan, in turn, seems to be using Olivia to discredit Flipperhead (potentially without Olivia's permission). VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: [Opening remarks on social media and focus] Grant: [Lindsey Gaetani's] been talking about on social media, but let's get to that second. What I wanna start with—let me find the tab—I wanna start with the developments related to Aidan Kearney and Karen Read, okay? So we're gonna jump right into that, and what I have here is the actual discussion. Now, if you go on my X, you will be able to see the entire transcript. I'm gonna try to scroll with you as the video plays. It's a lot, okay? And then we're gonna do part two as well. So eventually, we're gonna hit part two of the transcript. I'm gonna pause, and we're gonna go to the second video. Now, this discussion—the reason why I wanna go over this—is I was listening to it, and I was like, "Wait a minute, I speak this language that they're all talking. I understand sort of the subtext of all of this, but they weren't really talking on the surface." It's a conversation between somebody named Chris, who Aidan Kearney calls a "koala," somebody named Joe Flipperhead—who's actually named Nick from Philadelphia, who was apparently close to a woman named Olivia Lamb, who is gonna come up in this as well. Now, Olivia Lamb did a lot of social media posts about the Karen Read and John O'Keefe trial on her profile on Twitter under Olivia. Now, then Olivia started—in a public announcement—saying that she started working for Aidan Kearney. And what you're gonna hear in this conversation is there's also a woman named—who else? There's a woman who's Australian that Aidan also knows named Lily. She introduces herself in the beginning, and then she's kind of the moderator-mediator. And then there's another woman that pops up in the middle named Erika Walsh. She only speaks two or three times. She's one of Turtle Boy's moderators. She interjects at two random times: one, when someone starts talking about Meredith; and two, when Aidan starts saying how bad the content of the conversation in question—that was allegedly recorded and sent to Karen Read, between Aidan and Karen—is for Karen. And then there's a third unknown voice that pops up at the end, who sounds like—it's a female, she's American. I don't know her voice, but it sounds like she's very close to Joe Flipperhead, this guy Nick. And she uses this phrase about Nick "leaving Olivia's ass" in a way that makes me think maybe this girl is close to Nick, and like, she got close to him after Olivia and Nick separated. Now you might say to yourself, "Oh dear God, why—first of all, Grant, why do you know all this?" These people post a lot; I don't know. Tracking this thing is something I've been doing for a while. So it's not like I went into it because I wanted to know who the hell Joe Flipperhead was, or Olivia Lamb was. They entered into a world that I knew a lot about because they were trying to cover this case. And so inevitably, I just had them on my radar, and when things pop up like this, I just connect the dots. [Background on Olivia Lamb] In terms of Olivia though—so she, I don't know. There was this weird situation, I think, at the end of trial one for Karen Read. So somewhere in—I don't know—late 2024, summer 2024 or so. Weird situation where Olivia kind of then, for a few months, wasn't around as much, or she was, but not as much. And then she came back around for Aidan and said she was working on his team or something. Now, Olivia—I don't think Olivia Lamb's necessarily a bad person. I think whoever she is, and whatever she's doing, is very intelligent. But if you kind of look into that family, her mom is named Christina Lamb, and her mom does boutique consulting for law firms. I think her mom might be a lawyer, but she doesn't really—I think the way that she does consulting is more like tactically how lawyers should think about how a case is presented in the public, et cetera, stuff like that. And you have to tie this into this Elizabeth Dombrowski person out of New York that runs this Good Counsel Legal Services that proclaimed that Jen Altman and whoever else were paralegals for Aidan. You see what I'm saying? And what I think Olivia's role is—I think she just does PR. She does some paralegal work clearly, but I think she's mostly like a PR specialist. But I think why there's so much obfuscation—and I'm giving you all this background, because the conversation you're about to hear makes no sense if you don't know all this background. The context there, I think, is that—I think Olivia is a person. Like, I think she is real. But I think the reason why there's so many smoke and mirrors is that she's a conduit for implausible deniability. In the world of public relations—especially this kind of public relations—is incredibly important. So I think she's like a conduit for more entrenched public relations interests, which—okay, fine. I don't see that as per se evil. I'm a critical theorist. So I study propaganda. So like, if you are doing anything that emerged from Edward Bernays's systemic weaponization of his uncle Sigmund Freud's study of the mass psychology of the mind—if you do any of that—you're inevitably gonna catch my attention. Not because I necessarily per se think it's evil, but because that's my wheelhouse. Like, I reconstruct public relations and then I figure out what's driving that. Okay. So she—Olivia—got on my radar because of that, not necessarily because she's evil. Same, because I never really saw it. Now maybe some of the witnesses in the trial would think differently, but that's not my role here. I am like—I'm an objective observer. And um, Olivia was never really cruel. Like she just does PR. So I wouldn't necessarily say like everything she did was like right. But if you look at her style, it's not polemical. It's not—it's mostly analytical. Okay. So that's not an aphoristic or manipulative or evil person really. That's a PR specialist. And this guy, Nick—very similar, Joe Flipperhead. Okay. If you look at his posts—like, I wouldn't exactly say he's a cruel human being, you know, like he memes and stuff. Okay. He's kind of like Dave Cullinane a little bit, but he's just like a human. And you can hear it in this conversation. Like Joe is the one who's really holding Aidan accountable. Joe Flipperhead—whose name is Nick—he's from Philly. And um, I noticed 'cause I watched the stream of them one time—I don't know—he seems all right. I don't have anything against him or Olivia. In fact, I think they did a damn good job, at least Joe. Because what you'll also see here is there's another subtext. What this conversation is about is an allegation that Aidan Kearney sent a recorded conversation to Karen Read—a conversation with her—and then someone—nobody knows who—sent the recording to Karen's lawyers, David Yannetti and Alan Jackson. Now, what's weird about this is that there's also—and I don't like, whatever, I guess it is what it is—but the host, one of the hosts, Chris, this Australian guy—he might be a New Zealander, I don't know. But anyway, he starts saying directly to Aidan, "Listen Aidan, you went to lunch with Meredith—this Turtle Boy's former girlfriend—but her name is Meredith O'Neill (Meredith O). She's a person; she has an existence outside of Aidan Kearney and whether—a lot of people, I think, rightfully so, will take issue with some of the things Meredith has posted. But that's for her soul to deal with. She has to reckon with it, reflect on it, whatever the fuck, okay? That's separate from; she exists outside of the fact that she used to date Aidan Kearney." And I just wanna make that as a blanket point that like Aidan Kearney does not own someone's soul because they had some connection to him at any point in time. These people are independent people who have their own lives. So Meredith O'Neill is her name. And Meredith—like, clearly something happened between Aidan and Meredith because over the past few weeks—like, first of all, there's some more subtext to this, which is Aidan's paralegal team before Olivia Lamb came on was Courtney Healy and this woman named Tina Murray. Tina Murray —I didn't even know THE NAME until two weeks ago—but I had seen her before because she had silver hair when she was in court one time. I had no idea who it was, but she was sitting next to Courtney Healy. Now, way back when Aidan Kearney was incarcerated in late 2023, early 2024—apparently these two women, Courtney Healy and Tina Murray, were very close to Aidan Kearney. Someone had his logins, allegedly. They were helping like post for him while he was in jail, et cetera. Now, there's time back to that as well. Jen Altman is a key figure in all of this. And the reason why is that Jen Altman was the reason that Aidan Kearney and Karen Read got hooked up initially through Natalie Wiweke-Bershneider or whatever her name is. Jen Altman was also among this weird group of people. It was Tina Murray, Courtney Healy, Jen Altman, I think, and maybe just them three, who had access to Aidan in jail on a paralegal list. And at one point, Tim Bradl, Aidan's lawyer, wrote down that Jen Altman was a lawyer. She got so mad that she messaged Bradl, and then those messages got leaked. So there's all this discontent brewing within Aidan Kearney's kind of like organization, if you wanna call it. I'd call it more like a—yeah, it's like a hierarchy. And like he's at the—it's like a politician almost, but he's not a politician. You have like a top person at the top, and then you have all these staffers, and you have to manage the staffers. That's what he's dealing with. And he's gotta keep everybody like in line because like at one person breaks—especially a key—all right, two things. One, there's a reason you compartmentalize information, and you're not gonna be able to get in these type of operations because nobody needs to know everything. If you did that, then everyone would be a weak link. The problem is though, in order to compartmentalize in a bureaucracy or a schema like this, you have to have some people who actually know what's going on. Those people are liabilities. They're weak links. If you have someone who is too close and they know how you compartmentalized information, they'll see the full picture. They're the weak link. That's Courtney Healy, Tina Murray, Jen Altman, Meredith, Lindsey a little bit. These people are the weak links for Aidan because they see the full picture, whether they are aligned with him, don't like him, etc. etc. It's just they're the biggest weaknesses for him because they see the full picture. That's why he tries to either control them—in my opinion—or destroy them. But Aidan's in a real tough spot here because you can't run that playbook on Karen Read. Clearly, these people are incredibly loyal to her. Flipperhead, Olivia, etc. They may have been helping Aidan, but they're incredibly loyal to Karen. Now, what I've always suspected is that the whole point of charging Aidan Kearney was—one, he did bad things to the witnesses in the retrial, Lindsey Gaetani. He did bad things allegedly. Okay, the grand jury indicted him. But I think Brian Tully and the MSP unit that investigated Aidan—they were more interested in two different goals. Okay, they had parallel objectives beyond just the criminal proceeding. One: get information about who the target of the federal probe was after August of 2023. And it was Tully's unit and Matthew Farwell related to the Sandra Birchmore murder coverup. Number two: I think Tully wanted—and Kate Peter and Marty Keach wanted—Aidan Kearney and Michael Morrissey wanted Aidan Kearney to flip on Karen Read. It was a pressure tactic. It was always just a pressure tactic. That's what I fully believe. Now, I'm not saying he didn't do bad things. I just believe in the mind of the DA—these people were using pressure tactics to get Aidan Kearney in a tactical position where he would flip. Why do I think this? Well, a few things. One: in the fall of 2023, between like August and November, Aidan Kearney didn't need an intermediary with Karen Read. Natalie was out of the picture, although I'm suspect, because there's this new text from Natalie from August saying that like she was still loyal to Karen Read—although ostensibly they had a falling out in June of 2023 because Natalie called Karen late at night and she was upset about it. I always thought that was BS. Now I know why it was BS because there's also a March 24 message about like Joe Warren and Natalie wanting to go to court. I just have this suspicion that Natalie was never really like against Karen. What Natalie was doing was using Turtle Boy as leverage with Karen's permission—using it's called a limited hangout. Limited information about Turtle Boy's culpability for witness intimidation to the MSP so that the MSP would trust Natalie—so that Natalie could relay information back to Karen about the ongoing investigation of Karen and Aidan for conspiracy under 2747 and witness intimidation under 26813B. Now they did try to eventually indict Karen on that in March of 2024 at No True Bill, but they can do it again. They got more evidence—the state in May of 2024 about Aidan saying in Facebook messages that one Karen told him not to go to Lindsey Gaetani's apartment on December 23rd, 2023, and then some other stuff—basically where Aidan was implying that someone told him to run Jen McCabe's license plates. Who would that be? Karen Read. He didn't say it but he implied it to Jenna Rocco and Amy D'Angelis and whoever else was in that internal chat that got leaked. So I really believe that the reason why Aidan Kearney was such a liability to Karen Read—and why she was saying it out loud—is that Karen Read always saw Aidan Kearney as vulnerable to flip. Why? Because Brian Tully did his homework—whatever his motives were—and he found a few things. And I think that him and Kate Peter profiled Aidan Kearney. That's why Kate Peter had some role in this—because they thought Kate Peter should really like Aidan in a lot of ways because he used to be colleagues. Two: I think the state police thought she saw his psyche—Aidan's psyche—and could help them profile him. Three: I think Kate Peter is very hard into the world, and Tully and those other people in the unit could say like, "Yeah, we're worried about Birchmore; we got to do damage control here. Nothing's really wrong with the O'Keefe death investigation," and just—they're going to find out about Birchmore—and Kate would go along with it. That's my opinion. But Tully gets this video of Aidan that he had sent to Lindsey—and it's out there on the internet. I don't want to play the content; it's sad. But this is why I think this is what was in the prosecutor's mind when they were going—and the MSP's mind—when they were going after Kearney. Yes, he did bad things—especially to people that knew the DA and Tully like McCabe, Jen McCabe, etc. But also Aidan was an Achilles heel for Karen. Think about MSP, right? And the way we're analyzing Aidan's weaknesses via weak links in the compartmentalization chain. Okay, flip it around and think about MSP thinking about Karen. What's a weak link in her compartmentalization chain? Aidan Kearney. Now, in that regard, Aidan Kearney—if he flips on Karen Read—guarantees a conviction for Karen Read for the state, even if they can't get her on John's death. It was a backup plan. Second to that, I think though—it's a dynamic situation—and that something must have fucking happened recently. Okay, and I've long thought—and we'll read Lindsey's post on this later because she was talking about it on Twitter overnight, and I was reading it this morning, and it made me think about this—I've long suspected that Kate Peter made a deal with Aidan Kearney in the past like 6-8 months. And the deal was involving the Norfolk DA and the people prosecuting Kearney, and the goal was to get Kearney to flip. And I also think Kate wants Kearney in the Netflix documentary that she's working on with Gretchen and Sandpaper—which, they don't really understand. Like, bro, you think you're getting my footage and me if you're going to enable Kate Peter and try to portray her as the Charlotte of the internet? What planet are you on? No. No, the answer is no. But anyway, I really believe that this deal was made because why else—and I think Karen found out about it—because why else would Karen—[we're going to—the conversation is going to clarify all this]—why else would Karen on Friday authorize Joe Flipperhead to release information that confirms that Aidan recorded Karen. Now, why Karen is not going to do this if she didn't hear the fucking recording? She's not a moron. She's a tactical genius. I'm telling you—I don't necessarily agree with all the things she's done. I personally think she's responsible for John's death, but like—she's a fucking tactical genius. And you have to understand in some sense—like she wouldn't do this unless it's real. Like someone sent her that recording, and I don't believe Aidan Kearney sent it to intermediaries because if Meredith is the closest person to him—or was—in the world, and he's going to lunch with her and will only play it for her allegedly—okay, there's no way in hell that he would just send it to people. I believe—whether through a fake account or otherwise—Aidan Kearney sent that to Karen's lawyers. That's just my opinion. I think there's strong reason for him to do it. It's a message. Okay. As a result, I think Karen Read doing this had to sense that this was the moment—like this was the moment where the decision was going to be made about whether or not he cooperated. And now is Aidan's kind of like signal flare that I'm thinking—from Karen Read's perspective—Aidan sending that recording to Jackson and Yannetti is a signal flare that if she doesn't act now, he's making the choice to flip on her. Okay, well, what did she just do? She in essence just put him in the worst position possible because he had to be able to—him and Kate Peter—had to sell the narrative in public that—and this is why I was on Lindsey's profile earlier. Let me see if I can bring that up—him and Kate Peter had to sell the narrative in public that Karen was worse than Aidan Kearney. All right, so let's take a look at Lindsey Gaetani's post here. Let's read this first and then let's look at the post from Kate Peter. So Kate Peter post last night: "Karen Read has killed a man before and to my knowledge, Aidan Kearney has yet to do anything like that. Take that as you will. Regardless, they're both giant DBAGs, but you can decide who is worse. My vote is Karen Read." That's Kate Peter—one of the closest people in the world right now to Brian Tully, Michael Morrissey, and the decision makers who were initially prosecuting Kearney—telling you in plain sight what's going on. So let's read Lindsey's post: "Yes, we already know a deal was made a long time ago. How cute of Kate trying to win over the turtle riders after she pretended she was still trying to put him in jail the past several months. Does anyone of the turtle riders know who Christine Gagne is? I have no idea who that is. Does anyone know who that is? That's the woman Kate Peter blamed for wiretapping charges with TB and the person she blamed when I asked her where her deleted Google Drive went with the state's evidence. Why would Kate blame this woman for deleting evidence when this woman's name was never mentioned during the grand jury or in a single email or police report? Interesting." Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So we know Kate Peter was providing evidence to the grand jury. We know that from the recently released court documents and discovery in the Kearney criminal case. Why was—why is Kate Peter blaming someone? Who is Christine Gagne, who—why is Kate blaming her when Kate was the one who was—there's evidence that Kate was directly providing this material to Tully, who was taking it to the grand jury. And by the way, I want people to understand: my anger here is not because Aidan Kearney was prosecuted. I think he should be held accountable. My anger here is because the people prosecuting him had ulterior motives. Lindsey Gaetani didn't have an ulterior motive. She was victimized. She was an unwitting pawn in this proxy war between Karen and the DOJ—Karen and the DOJ and Aidan on one side, and the Norfolk DA and the MSP unit on the other. But instead of trying to prosecute Aidan, it was all tactical. And nobody was told—that's the worst part. And that's why I'm so upset about all of this, because it was a disgrace. It was a disgrace to the process. If you're going to hold someone accountable, do it. You don't use it as leverage to get someone else. And if you're going to do that, be open with the people who are victimized. Otherwise, you are going to build resentment. Why would you ever want to be in a situation where you have to handle a victim? Because if they were made aware of what was actually going on, they would be upset. That is a very prime example—on its face example—that something is very wrong. Not because Aidan Kearney is absolved of liability or because I think he did nothing wrong. Absolutely not. No. Other way around. But because that kind of behavior—given impunity basically, because there's a larger fish—it's an abuse of prosecutorial discretion, not because the prosecution exists. In my opinion, a grand jury indicted him; he should be prosecuted. That's what happens when indictments get handed up. But because the aim of the prosecution was not to seek justice—it was to get—it was to pressure Kearney to flip on Karen Read. [Transition to the conversation] Now, to bring this all back—because we got to go—I want to look at this conversation here. I want to actually listen to this chat a minute. I'm going to explicate; I'm going to try to tell you what happens. "Hi, Bunny Towel. Hi, Christina. No haircut. But guess if you want to send donations—today's a good day for that. We got to get Towel to the end of the month. Towel's not going to be able to move very much for the next few days. So I could use some food if you want to send me some gift cards. I just need some help. All right. I'm a little towel. I got a lot going on. And anyway, so I'll—I'm sitting in my chair. That's as much as I can do right now. I can talk; my brain works. I can sit in my chair. I'm not doing anything else, but I should eat at some point. Anyway, so we're going to listen to this conversation because you have to think of all that background when you're analyzing. Why right now? Okay, why would Karen Read tactically right now burn Aidan Kearney? Aidan Kearney supporters are very loyal, but a lot of Aidan Kearney's base are becoming alienated because either they care more about Karen Read than Aidan Kearney or because Aidan Kearney's been on this weird tear recently where he like been attacking middle-aged women who are most of his fans. All right. Most of his fans are middle-aged women. And he goes after people's looks like whatever. So there's already this alienation happening. I believe the only reason Karen Read does this right now is because what it did—and what it's doing to Aidan Kearney—is it's decimating his support. Okay. Well, why are you decimating his support? Why are you forcing people to pick sides? Why would you do that right now? Either [he] cooperated or he's about to. All right. Now Karen Read—if she was—here's my read of this—if Karen Read was just going to cooperate, she wouldn't have done this this way. Okay. I'm sorry. It would have been completely different. I don't believe that she would have done it this way. I believe she would have done it a completely different way. And the reason why I believe that—we're going to read the text from Karen before we start listening to this. By the way, you can see I have the video here for you. What happened? By the way, just to give you a little more context. So this X Spaces that we're going to listen to—I have the full 37-minute X Space. This X Space, okay—it was before the text messages from Karen to Joe Flipperhead got released. So what you have to realize is these texts you're seeing on the screen got released because of this conversation. You're going to hear Joe Flipperhead say it.

Recently did an interview with the lead developer of Knight's Path on the title's future release and the state of the industry. The Western AAA gaming industry has shifted its focus away from its core audience, favoring products for smaller, less engaged demographics. This shift has led to a noticeable disconnect between large publishers and their traditional fan base. This has, however, created an environment for indies to thrive. They can prioritize authenticity and community, crafting games that resonate with their players and that is exactly the case with Knight's Path. In December of 2023, Knights Path: The Tournament was released to Very Positive reviews on Steam. It is a short medieval RPG featuring challenging combat, an immersive progression system, and a nice little story. It served as an announcement, a combat concept demo, and a teaser for the forthcoming open-world RPG Knight's Path, which is currently in active development. I asked what their plans were regarding the scope of the full release. While you might get the impression that Knight's Path is an arena fighting game, that’s not the case with the full release. "Knight's Path will be a proper open-world, story-driven RPG. Of course, as a small indie team, we’re keeping the scope modest. The open world will be compact but dense, featuring one town, one village, castle ruins, forests, valleys, and other areas to explore." Many gamers would agree it is better to have a limited number of fully fleshed-out areas than to present a gigantic, empty world. This has been a major criticism levied towards recent releases like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and even modern Assassins Creed, which tends to rely on repetitive gameplay loops scattered across an overly large map, which can feel more like busywork than meaningful exploration. I have always believed that quality over quantity is the best way to go. The team has also made this a priority with things such as the story and weapon types. "We plan to include three main weapon types: longsword, sword and shield, and bows. These will feature the full progression system seen in the demo, with skill levels such as Novice, Adept, Expert, and Master. Players will need to learn individual skills from different trainers to progress. In addition, we’re introducing secondary weapons like spears, halberds, and other polearms. These won’t have RPG-style progression but will still offer variety in combat." Regarding the story, they plan to be bold and strive to create a 16-28 hour-long main campaign. "The story will be divided into four chapters, with each chapter offering around 4–7 hours of gameplay. As in the demo, the player character begins as a nobody, slowly learning how to wield a sword and eventually becoming a knight. However, the progression will be much more realistic than in the demo, where the peasant hilariously transformed into a champion in just four days." This is a far cry from many games that are released nowadays. In just 2024 alone at a glance, the AA release Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn provided an average of 8 hours of content, Princess Peach: Showtime at 10 hours, Silent Hill 2 Remake at 15, and even the GOTY winner Astrobot holds an average playtime of 10 hours. A major issue within the industry is the way we are treated by the people who only have jobs because of our favorite hobby. In 2024 the gaming industry is forecasted to generate $208.7 BILLION dollars, up from 5.4% in 2023. Compare that to Hollywood, which is a measly $12.3 billion. The gaming industry employs 727,000 individuals in the United States alone. So, you'd think these people would have a little bit of respect for gamers, though so many who are vocal on social media show nothing but contempt for us. Perhaps this is because of fear if they do not show loyalty to a cause or "fit in" that they may not secure funding or genuinely believe in what they preach, but the team behind Knight's Path isn't worried about that. "We are independent developers, and we plan to stay independent so we can stay true to our vision. Knight's Path is a game made by gamers for gamers. We’re prioritizing fun gameplay above all, and we firmly believe this is exactly what gamers want." I also raised some questions about their big plans moving forward. In the demo, one of the major criticisms I had was with the voice acting. I had guessed it was done via AI, which was confirmed. "You guessed correctly– the voice acting in the demo was done by AI, and it was probably the loudest critique we received, and we totally understand why! Back then, we didn’t have much of a choice, but for the full game, we don’t plan to use any AI voices. Luckily, after the demo release, many voice actors reached out to us, volunteering to lend their voices to the full game. We absolutely plan to answer their call and give them that opportunity." AI can be a useful tool, especially for developers starting out who can't commit a lot of money to voice acting or just want to see a version of the product that's closer to what they envision the full release to be, but going from that to real voice actors will bump the experience to the next level. I myself played the demo in its entirety and really enjoyed my time with it! I thought the game was reminiscent of Gothic 2 and even The Witcher. I was happily surprised when I didn't encounter any bugs or glitches and while some areas have not been fleshed out like the voice acting, I would recommend putting the game on your wishlist to see what this team does in the future when they finally deliver their updated demo and the eventual full release of the game.

My Spoiler‑Free Review of Star Wars Outlaws I spent around 30 hours with Star Wars Outlaws, completed the main story, and played a good amount of side content. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed my time with it, even though the game clearly has both high points and noticeable shortcomings. The visuals are one of the strongest aspects of the game. Cities, lighting, character models, and ray tracing all look impressive, and the game genuinely feels like a true current‑gen release. I played on PC with an RTX 5080 and an AMD 9800X3D, and most locations ran smoothly. A few areas were demanding enough that I had to lower some settings to keep the framerate consistent, but the overall optimization felt solid. The planets feel alive thanks to the populated hubs and the amount of environmental detail. You can tell the developers put real effort into making each world feel lived in. The seamless transitions between planets add a lot to the immersion. The worlds look great, even if they aren’t packed with activities, and the planetary travel works well for a story‑driven open‑world game. Even though I have not watched the Star Wars movies, the game still delivered the Star Wars atmosphere convincingly. One downside for me was the absence of lightsabers, which felt like a missed opportunity. Nix, your companion, is genuinely helpful and makes stealth much more manageable. I’m not a major fan of stealth games, and that was one of the reasons I didn’t buy Outlaws at launch when I saw in reviews that the game had a strong focus on stealth. On normal difficulty, the game is flexible enough to let you mix your approach, but you still need to take a few enemies out quietly first if you don’t want to make things harder for yourself. The stealth system itself is simple, maybe too simple for a game that relies on it as much as this one does. I am judging this based on normal difficulty, so harder modes might offer a different experience. Gunplay is satisfying, even if it is not particularly unique. The story left me with mixed feelings. Most characters were not very memorable, and while the mission structure is fine and the pacing works well enough, it never becomes anything special. That said, I enjoyed the balance between stealth, combat, and exploration, and traveling around the planets with the speeder was genuinely fun. The space missions and dogfights were a welcome change of pace. I just wish there had been more mission variety and that Ubisoft had taken a few more creative risks. Combat overall is enjoyable, although the limited weapon variety holds it back and makes encounters feel repetitive over time. One thing I did appreciate was the syndicate system. It isn’t very deep, but it adds some personality to the world and makes the different syndicates feel more distinct. It’s simple, but it fits the game well. Lockpicking and hacking were surprisingly enjoyable. They were challenging enough to feel engaging without becoming frustrating or time consuming. Considering how often you encounter these mechanics, Ubisoft did a good job keeping them fun instead of turning them into chores. The game is in a good technical state on PC. I cannot speak for the console versions, but I only encountered one minor visual bug during my entire playthrough. The only thing that felt off at times was Kay’s facial animations in certain scenes, which could use more polish. Overall, I had a very good time with Star Wars Outlaws. It is not a masterpiece, but it is an enjoyable experience despite its flaws. I can comfortably recommend picking it up on sale or playing it through a subscription. I also hope we eventually get a sequel or another Star Wars project from Ubisoft, because Outlaws offers a good base to work from, and a sequel could expand on it nicely.

🚨Ancient Secret Revealing Day🚨 This day has finally come. On December 1, 2025 — that is, today, right now — I’m revealing the “secret ingredient” that more than 100 volunteers around the world have already used over the past two months to successfully cast artificial (fake) granite. And since a hundred people do a hundred things a hundred different ways, we’ve made huge leaps forward. When I first announced the “secret material,” I was honestly convinced I knew everything and I was the one handing out wisdom. Yeah, right! No. In these two months I’ve had to introduce versioning, and we’ve jumped two major versions ahead — the recipe is now at v3.0. This team made it possible to invent no-mix casting, which kills two birds with one stone — actually, three: 1. No more hunting for gigantic ancient concrete mixers, because we don’t mix the material anymore (at least not when it’s wet). 2. No more cursed frequencies or ancient vibrators either, because with the v3.0 method we can produce perfectly bubble-free stones. 3. The role of nubs is clear. These positive experiences led me to a decision: let a thousand flowers bloom. I’m not going to bother with patents or any other restrictions — I’m making the “secret ingredient” public. And it is: A pinch of slaked lime 🤣 That's right! I'm not kidding! See the video. Slaked lime borrowed from the leather tanning guy next door. Now, some of you might say that this means I’ve been chasing my own tail for at least two years, because quicklime and slaked lime are also components of wood ash — and we’ve known for two years that wood ash, especially pine ash, creates stone when mixed with waterglass. True. And yet no one before me tried adding even a pinch of slaked lime to waterglass — not 2,000 or 3,000 years ago. Why? Because it is counter intuitive! This day has finally come. On December 1, 2025 — that is, today, right now — I’m revealing the “secret ingredient” that more than 100 volunteers around the world have already used over the past two months to successfully cast artificial granite.

Now, the sharp-eared might say that this means I’ve been chasing my own tail for at least two years, because quicklime and slaked lime are also components of wood ash — and we’ve known for two years that wood ash, especially pine ash, creates stone when mixed with water glass. True. And yet no one before me tried adding even a pinch of slaked lime — not 2,000 or 3,000 years ago. So what exactly does it do? The calcium ions in it destabilize the water glass and kick off the formation of silica gel. Our binder is dried silica gel — essentially a type of glass. Meaning: natural granite’s binder is quartz, which is transparent, has a Mohs hardness of 7, and its chemical formula is SiO₂. Our artificial granite’s binder is amorphous silica, also transparent, with a Mohs hardness of 6–6.5, and — no joke — its chemical formula is also SiO₂. If someone looks at these stones without suspicion, it’s insanely difficult to tell the two apart. You need instruments — and an open mind. And why is slaked lime counterintuitive in this recipe? Several reasons. First, it’s alkaline. Any acid — even lemon juice or vinegar — can precipitate silica gel from the solution, but an alkali? No way! Also: lime turns everything white. And at first glance, that seems to be happening here too. But once it stops being lime and becomes just a thorn under the water glass’s fingernail — a catalyst — it turns transparent. And no, this doesn’t turn our material into concrete. The binder is not Calcium Silicate Hydrate — you’d need at least ten times more slaked lime for that. This remains amorphous silica gel, even if calcium ions lurk inside here and there. So what exactly does it do? The calcium ions in it destabilize the waterglass and precipitate silica gel. Our binder is dried silica gel — essentially a type of glass. Compare: Natural granite’s binder is quartz, which is transparent, has a Mohs hardness of 7, and its chemical formula is SiO₂. Our artificial granite’s binder is amorphous silica, also transparent, with a Mohs hardness of 6–6.5, and — no joke — its chemical formula is also SiO₂. If someone looks at these stones without suspicion, it’s insanely difficult to tell the two apart. You need instruments — and an open mind. So the secret of the set is gelation. If you add nothing, water glass simply will not set at this thickness. The mixture can stay liquid for weeks, and you can just pour it back out. But once gelation starts, you’re dealing with a completely different set of physical properties. Gelation gives the entire casting its own internal stability. I’m curious how this behaves at larger scales, but I’m hopeful you can cast multi-ton megaliths without the formwork bursting apart like it would with concrete. This stuff doesn’t flow. Gelation also explains why the surface ends up so smooth it looks polished. As for how the ancient Egyptians polished fist-sized depressions? They didn’t. Silica gel did the work. Water resistance: store-bought waterglass is mainly sodium waterglass, which only produces moderately water-resistant stones. Fine for indoor decorations or desert scenery, but you can’t cast underwater cities — no Osireon — from it. For that you need potassium waterglass — in other words, lye from wood ash. And if any mystery remains, it’s those white veins found in natural stone. “You can’t replicate that artificially!” cry the experts. Ignore them. We can’t replicate veins YET. But since every gear is meshing perfectly so far, the solution to that will come too. Enjoy!

[NINE HEART PICKS] Hyein's First Impression of Minji_ 😳 From pre-debut practice room memories to her current performances on stage, Hyein shares nine personally selected memories 🖤 🐹: Hello Dazed! This is Hyein from NewJeans. I just finished a Dazed photoshoot, and I can’t wait for you to see the collaboration between Louis Vuitton, Dazed, and myself. Please look forward to it! Today, I’ll be sharing my 9 Heart Picks—nine unforgettable memories, moments, or scenes from before my debut to my current activities. This has been such a meaningful day for me because when we released the Supernatural album, I had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with Takashi Murakami, which was such a happy experience. Now, with another incredible chance to collaborate with Louis Vuitton for this photoshoot, I feel truly happy and deeply honored. 💬 You attended the Louis Vuitton show yesterday—was there a moment that stood out to you? 🐹: I took pictures with Bae Doona-nim. I was so happy. And when she told me how much she supports us, it was such a heartwarming moment. 💬 What standard did you use to prepare today’s 9 memories? 🐹: I prepared this without a fixed standard, more like following a personal timeline. So, I’ll present it that way. First, I chose ‘trainee.’ I was the last one to join and become part of the team as a trainee. What still leaves the strongest impression on me is when I first saw the older members—how could there be such beautiful and angelic people? They were so kind, pure, and innocent. And, of course, they were incredibly beautiful, as expected. Back then, everyone had such youthful and delicate energy compared to now. They were all so cute, and it was really meaningful to live together, train together, and prepare for one goal as a group. 💬 Who made the strongest first impression on you? 🐹: Minji-unnie! During the trainee period, there was a particularly tough time for us called the ‘monthly evaluation’ period. It’s a time when we have to perform what we’ve prepared in front of an audience. It was just before one of those evaluations, and I remember Minji-unnie wearing a black hoodie, sitting in a spinning chair in front of her computer, and looking so serious and a bit intimidating. I actually mentioned this to her later, and she said that she was really stressed out during that time and might have seemed scary because of it. That moment left such a strong impression on me. The second memory I’ll choose is summer. The reason it’s summer is that we debuted on July 22. When we debuted, the members and I all gathered in the dorm to watch the “Attention” music video together. We didn’t release any teasers or previews beforehand, so we were just waiting for the music video to come out, and we all watched it together in the living room. There are moments in life where you don’t realize how precious they are at the time, right? But that particular moment really hit me. I felt, Ah, this is such a special time. It was one of those moments where you could truly feel its significance. That’s why I chose it. Since the first one was summer, I’ll go with winter for the second. When I think of winter, the first thing that comes to mind is “Ditto.” Despite being a winter activity, it felt incredibly warm. It was our second comeback, and the music video had a rich storyline featuring a character named Ban Hee-soo. That character represents Bunnies, our fans. It was our first comeback with a music video that directly included Bunnies, and the whole preparation process felt like we were doing it together with them, making it a meaningful activity. Also, the song “Ditto” itself is so special. Every time I listen to it, it has this way of making my heart feel full and warm. It’s a song that turns winter into something cozy, so I chose our “Ditto” and “OMG” promotions as a special winter memory. 💬 What song do you listen to the most? 🐹: As for the songs I frequently listen to, I mostly play tracks from our recent album. But aside from those, I listen to "Ditto" quite often. For the fourth one… I’ll choose Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton… Oh, I see our team giving me a look, ㅋㅋㅋ. But it’s not just because this is a Louis Vuitton shoot. There are just so many precious memories I’ve made with Louis Vuitton. From the very first moment I got involved with Louis Vuitton, I’ve had the opportunity to experience things I would never have dreamed of if not for this partnership. For example, I got to visit Paris to attend their fashion show and witness the incredible presentations of a brand with such a long and rich history. Those experiences were truly invaluable. Even the photoshoots were such exciting and happy moments for me. So, I’m incredibly grateful to Louis Vuitton for everything. For the fifth one… Ah, what should I choose for the fifth? I’ll go with people. Why? Well, looking back, I’ve realized just how many amazing adults and wonderful people I’ve had around me. Especially recently, I’ve really felt grateful for the good people in my life. And of course, that includes Bunnies. The relationship we have with Bunnies feels so unique to me. I’d love to meet them more often, have more conversations, and connect with them on a deeper level. But there are so many reasons and times when that’s not possible. Even so, it’s truly amazing how much they continue to support and love us. I’m so thankful for that. Thank you! So, I chose people. The sixth is the stage. We had our second fan meeting at Tokyo Dome, and what really struck me at that time was how much the five of us were genuinely enjoying the stage. Seeing so many people who came to watch the performance enjoying themselves and sharing in the effort we poured into preparing the stage made me feel so proud. It gave me the feeling of, "Wow, something I love and worked hard on is being loved by so many people." That’s why each moment on stage is etched deeply in my memory. The seventh is preciousness. During "How Sweet" and "Supernatural" promotions, we really gave it our all. The choreography was made incredibly challenging, and the songs were amazing as well. While preparing so hard, I ended up getting injured, maybe because I pushed myself too much. After the injury, I found myself spending a lot of time alone, which gave me a chance to look after the members more closely. They’re such a team that just watching them makes me smile. I didn’t realize it before, but watching them made me laugh, and I found myself wanting to see their performances in person. So, in a way, the time I spent injured and observing from a different perspective turned out to be a necessary moment for me. When you’re just running forward, you don’t always realize what you’re doing. But after the injury, I had time to reflect and remind myself why we’re doing all of this. The eighth is something very obvious: Bunnies. That’s because ever since our debut, Bunnies have been with us in every single moment. That’s why I chose Bunnies. Among the times I’ve shared with Bunnies, there have been so many moments filled with happiness, sadness, excitement, and a range of emotions, which is why I picked Bunnies. Lastly, Dazed! This was my first time working with Dazed, and wow! Today’s photoshoot was so much fun, and the Dazed team was so warm and kind. Thank you so much for treating me so well—it was such a happy time. Please look forward to the Dazed photoshoot featuring Louis Vuitton collections by Takashi Murakami. I hope you love it and check it out a lot. Thank you! Today, I shared 9 memorable moments from my time with NewJeans. What are your favorite Hyein moments? #jeanzforfree #혜인 #Hyein #ヘイン #HyeinxLouisVuitton #LVxMurakami

Solon Lee (Producer at Kuro Games): Thank You for Playing My Game "Wuthering Waves: Exploring Game Creation Under Unreal Engine." Interview by Nvliu66 When you think of Unreal Engine, what comes to mind? A few days ago, at the Epic Games Shanghai office, I met the producers of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Wuthering Waves. Both games are developed based on Unreal Engine, and they shared the stories behind their game creation. My biggest takeaway was that while a great game stems from a producer's emotional expression, its realization relies on the "escort" of technology. Let's return to the interview scene and listen once more to their unique insights on game development. Wuthering Waves and Unreal Engine Bill Clifford (VP and GM of Unreal Engine at Epic Games): With Wuthering Waves, they used many complex artistic techniques to present this anime style, and it's truly outstanding. They are among the first companies to create a role-playing game in an open world that is also cross-platform, which is another incredible feat. They introduced console-level graphics and combat systems while maintaining a consistent update frequency. Furthermore, as they adopt and integrate new Unreal Engine technologies into the game, the experience is continuously enhanced. It’s a truly inspiring success story. Solon Lee (Producer at Kuro Games): We have grown alongside the updates of the UE engine, including the release of UE5. Throughout the process, we’ve been able to learn from UE’s updates. When UE5 was released, it introduced many new technical features, especially ray tracing. Everyone currently praises the ray tracing effects in Wuthering Waves, which is actually due to the continuous updates of the engine. We found those highlights and ported them over to UE4.26. During this process, our engineers were learning the logic of the engine, following its updates, and developing an engineering mindset and a way of creating visual effects. So, my biggest personal takeaway is that choosing a top-tier engine doesn’t just make the game better; it makes us better in the process. "Punishing: Gray Raven" was developed on the Unity platform, while "Wuthering Waves" is based on Unreal. What was the reasoning behind this change at the time? Solon Lee: Psychologically, we don’t have a heavy dependence. We don't feel that just because we've used Unity, we must continue using it. We are a bit more pragmatic. When we were about to start Wuthering Waves, we clearly knew we wanted to make an open world. UE obviously offers more support for open worlds. We felt that "standing on the shoulders of giants" to make a game was definitely a more practical decision. At that time, we could also sense that most engineers in the industry had an aspiration toward UE. "Wuthering Waves" has been live for a year and a half. At this stage, could you use a short summary or a few words to introduce "Wuthering Waves" to the players? Solon Lee: Wuthering Waves is a game that strives to continuously create resonance with players. From the excitement and design of the action to the scriptwriting and performances, we strive to find "highlight segments" or moments in every version that can trigger internal resonance, touch the heart, or make players "scream" with excitement. This is actually a creative consensus our team has slowly formed over the past year. When we find that moment in a version and we ourselves "scream" for it, we feel that there is a high probability that when the version is released, it will be recognized by the users. Because the most important thing about a game is that it must be fun, as developers, we often think about what kind of game qualifies as "fun." What is a "Fun" Game? Solon Lee: One point I can think of right now is that the rules should be as simple as possible. As soon as you start, after two slashes or casting a skill, you should feel, "Wow, that was so cool! I want to do it again! Wow, so cool!" Specifically for action games, the "fun" is often hidden in very small granularities. For example, if you compare two different games where you are just running and jumping, the running in some games feels fun. Why? It might just be because the "grip" is better, the animation swing feels better, or it gives you a sense of gravity or momentum. Whether a point in a game is fun can be subjective. For me, there are a few games that have had a significant influence on my work. One is definitely NieR; when we were making Punishing: Gray Raven in the early days, we were very inspired by NieR. When Devil May Cry 5 came out, it gave us a lot of new inspiration for our combat system. Death Stranding is indeed one of my personal favorite games from recent years. When Elden Ring was released, it also gave us a very strong impression and touched us deeply. The project for Wuthering Waves started in the first half of 2020. At that time, there were very few open-world action games on the market because most action games back then were stage-based (linear/hub-based). All excellent action games required very tight level design. Later, Elden Ring came out, and experiencing it gave us strong resonance. We felt that action games definitely have potential in an open world, and we believe it should be that way. A Message to the Players Solon Lee: I am truly grateful that so many players like Wuthering Waves. It is because of everyone’s love whether it's encouragement or criticism that we are given a lot of motivation to maintain our continuous passion to make our game better. I believe the only way we can give back to the players who like Kuro and Wuthering Waves is by producing better and better versions and content, and making more and more great games. Happy New Year, and thank you for playing my game. translated by Xu #WutheringWaves #WuWa

As a member of the Brazilian Congress who has been exposing and combatting the abuses of our Supreme Court for years, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Elon Musk. Elon, you are currently aiding Brazil more than many members of the Brazilian House and Senate. You are representing millions of Brazilians who oppose censorship and tyranny far better than their elected representatives, who still refuse to investigate and impeach Supreme Court justices. I am confident that this will change now: Michael Shellenberger's collaboration with David Ágape and on the Brazilian Twitter Files, in a genuine investigative journalism effort, exposed the Brazilian dictator Alexandre de Moraes to the world. By the way, I am one of the countless Brazilians featured in the files for being illegally monitored by the Supreme Court. I was also censored without due process and threatened with a hefty fine per day if I posted anything the Court disapproved of - but I never remained silent. In the case of Twitter, the former legal counsel Rafael Batista's refusal to provide Moraes with user information without valid grounds, even under the threat of illegal prosecution and persecution, was heroic. Your determination, Elon Musk, to commend that stance and go further by lifting all restrictions on the accounts of Brazilians who were illegally censored shows a man of principles and provides us all with inspiration and renewed motivation to fight the tyrants. There are currently thousands of Brazilians persecuted by Moraes: ordinary citizens censored, with their assets illegally frozen; journalists and judges exiled, with their passports seized by Mr. Moraes without justification; lawyers denied access to their clients' cases; hundreds still imprisoned without due process, let alone conviction. One man, Clezão, passed away last November in prison after nearly a year of incarceration in deplorable health conditions by order of Alexandre de Moraes. The federal prosecutor had requested his release more than two months before his death, but Moraes ignored it. Clezão's wife, Jane, and their two daughters, Ana Luiza (22) and Klezia (19), will no longer have their father's company due to the tyrannical actions of Alexandre de Moraes. We want none of this, no more! This is why I proposed a parliamentary committee to investigate the Court's abuses, including censorship. The request garnered the support of the necessary 171 representatives and is now awaiting the Speaker of the House, Arthur Lira, to initiate its activities. The Brazil Twitter Files have given new momentum to this endeavor. We cannot rely on most legacy media or the establishment. But we can rely on principled individuals like you, Elon Musk and Michael Shellenberger. You may not be Brazilian, but you are fighting for freedom in our country in a way that inspires millions in my homeland to raise their voices and fight even harder to overcome this dire situation. And we WILL overcome it. Thank you! #CensuraNao #CPIdoAbusoJa #ImpeachmentJa

“I do this for you until you learn to do it for yourself,” says the American lead character in Citizen Vigilante to the Europeans he is protecting. It is a sharp and memorable closing statement that captures the film’s core message. Basically, the entire film only works because its central character is American. A German, French, or British protagonist in that role would have made the story feel false from the first scene. Europe has spent decades cultivating a culture of hesitation and submission. Citizens have been trained to wait, to doubt themselves, and to accept whatever restrictions, failures, or chaos the state imposes. This is not noble restraint. It is a deep-seated habit of passivity and obedience that leaves people in Europe unable to imagine acting decisively against disorder or abuse of power. It also leaves them unable to rise up and resist regimes even when those regimes begin to turn tyrannical. That Untertan mentality, that reflex of obedience to authority, is part of the darker socio-cultural DNA of Europe, and especially of Germany’s political history. “Just following orders” is not just a phrase. It is a warning about what happens in Europe when obedience replaces conscience. The United States developed in the total opposite direction, largely because of the Second Amendment and the self-confidence of the American people toward Washington, D.C. That provision was never meant to be a narrow legal technicality. It was designed as a permanent structural limit on government authority. An armed population was understood to be the final safeguard against a state that might one day turn against its own citizens. In America, this is not merely theory. Americans privately own roughly 500 million firearms, while the entire military and all law enforcement agencies combined possess only 5.5 million firearms. That makes it clear where ultimate power still resides: with the people, not the state. Europe has no equivalent. Germany’s Article 20 paragraph 4 of the Basic Law offers, almost as an alibi, a weak theoretical right to resistance, but only under conditions so restrictive that the clause becomes almost useless in practice. It would likely apply only after the damage is already irreversible. Too little, too late, as so often in Europe. This difference in civilizational outlook explains why the hero of the film had to come from America. The character is shaped by a culture that still values personal responsibility, armed self-reliance, and the willingness to confront threats directly rather than deferring to authority or process. The same gap appears in military and police culture. The United States has maintained elite units and a broad respect for service for generations. Soldiers, police officers, the National Guard, and the Coast Guard are still viewed with pride when they truly protect and serve the people. In much of Europe today, police forces are increasingly viewed as tools of political enforcement and selective suppression rather than neutral protectors of order. When officers prioritize censorship, speech restrictions, and biased enforcement over actual crime, they lose the moral standing that once came with the uniform. An American protagonist fits this story because he operates from a different set of assumptions. He does not wait for permission or consensus. He acts when the situation demands it, and he is not afraid to resist state overreach, corrupt institutions, or officials who have abandoned justice. That is very much in the spirit of the American constitutional tradition. The irony is that German authorities have now increased the film’s reach. By blocking the official release, they triggered exactly the kind of attention they wanted to avoid. This is a textbook Streisand effect. What began as a mostly European discussion is now spreading to larger American X accounts and beyond. It would not be surprising if even Elon Musk eventually comments on the case. Germany’s attempt to suppress the film has turned it into a wider free-speech issue. In the end, the story illustrates a larger pattern. European societies in general, and many of their citizens in particular, have become remarkably passive in the face of rising disorder and institutional failure. Europe increasingly lets everything happen to it. Without real resistance. Without serious pushback. The Old World seems to have forgotten how to defend itself and how to push back effectively. Whether that changes on its own, or whether the necessary impulse to resist must again come from the New World helping its origins one last time, remains to be seen.

UPDATE🚨🚨: In a wild twist to Proctorgate, Kevin Foley --involved in sending racist messages with Michael Proctor-- may actually be a former Canton police officer (arrested in 2013 in a sex-for-hire-sting) who, shockingly, held a fundraiser for John O'Keefe's orphaned niece and nephew in 2014 alongside Kevin Albert. I don't know what to say. If this is confirmed --and a former Milton police officer by the same name is ruled out-- it changes everything. This would provide a direct link --via Kevin Foley-- between Michael Proctor, Kevin Albert and John O'Keefe's niece and nephew going back to 2014. This connection --and Proctor's abhorrent messages with a number of police officers-- were never revealed during either of Karen Read's two trials and, if confirmed, this link would represent a shocking series of coverups related to Proctor's conflicts of interest when investigating John's death on the home of Kevin Albert's brother (former Boston police officer Brian Albert) on the early morning of January 29th, 2022. It was only in 2025, after an order from Judge Doolin in the Myles King case (requested by lawyer Rosemary Scapicchio) that this data was eventually turned over --albeit under a protective order that was granted over Scapicchio's objections. Late Friday, Scapicchio was able to release another wave of Proctor's messages via a newly-unsealed motion to dismiss in the King case (King, for his part, is currently in federal prison on new charges that seem to be designed to remove Proctor from King's eventual trial). The first wave of those messages were released via Karen Read's newly-filed civil suit in Bristol County against the State Police and Canton Police last week, but Scapicchio's filing exposes shocking new messages among the group and, importantly, also revealed the names of some of the men who Proctor communicated with over many years. Read more about Karen's filing here - As to Scapicchio's new filing: Although some of the men were identified only my moniker, Kevin Foley was identified by name (for the first time), in the newly-unsealed filing. Local reporter Dixie Normus also noted as follows just minutes ago; "One thing I want to be clear about, I do not know yet whether the “Foley” referenced in the messages is Kevin Foley, who is brothers with the Matt Foley pictured here." "But what this photo does show, based on the people identified, is how close and overlapping this Canton social circle was. Sean Goode, Courtney Proctor, Kati Brown, Jillian Daniels, Kenner Johnson, and Matt Foley all appear within the same friend orbit." "That matters because this case has never just been about one person knowing one person. It is about overlapping friendships, family ties, police connections, and whether conflicts were treated seriously enough from the beginning." "So no, I’m not claiming the “Foley” in the messages is Kevin Foley unless that is confirmed." "I’m saying the overlap itself deserves attention." Read that post here - If this is confirmed, I will be stunned. It really was all potentially connected. A lot of people are going to owe Karen Read and Aidan Kearney (the first journalist to put this puzzle together) some apologies in the coming weeks and months, should this all be confirmed. What a time to be alive indeed. I pray for John's family. I am sorry, in so many ways, all of this has happened. Justice may be blind, but it should not do harm, and our system has failed them --and so many others-- in so many ways. To this day, it is unclear if anyone has found the Mystery Man from the Canton PD Sallyport footage at 5:38PM ET on 1/29/2022 who is suspected of being at the center of potential upcoming investigations by state and federal authorities as to John's death. Read more about that Mystery Man here -

Important announcement!!!🫵💥💫 Would you have a tooth pulled if it helped your chances to get an important grant funded? Absurd question (obviously), but the situation right now is so bad funding-wise, that I bet some of you actually considered it for a second… Well, don’t get desperate - we created a new tool that might help! (keep your teeth!) I’m excited to announce that as of today we are officially releasing “QED for Grants” for everyone. What started off as an extension of our existing paper review platform, grew in the last few months to an entirely new design. We’ve been working like crazy on this, and although we have more things we want to add in the (very near) future, we decided to release our AI for grants NOW, earlier than planned. It’s not perfect, no AI is, but for the first time, when I run my own grants through QED Science, I feel it gets the research, finds real problems, and gives me very useful feedback that I can implement before submission. It’s like sending it to 20 scientists from my domain, knowing they’ll agree to dedicate their entire week to carefully read and comment on every line. It’s very important to write your own grants yourself, it makes you think hard and you learn a lot from doing it, and q.e.d’s system is designed to preserve these positive aspects and augment them - you get feedback on your own writing, we don’t write for you!! But at the same time, a typical PI spends many months every year writing proposals and sadly only a tiny fraction gets funded, even if the ideas are good. When you are forced to submit an unreasonable amount of grants the quality of the writing drops, and rejection rates increase. Not because the essence is bad. It’s simply too competitive right now (the cuts made it so much worse) and if your proposal is not super clear and tight, and if it’s not a perfect fit for the grant you’re submitting, you’re doomed. Our grant solution is not an authoring, text-generating tool. It gives you constructive feedback on your writing (it comments on the deep things, not grammar and typos). It’s meant to help you with the questions that torment you late at night (“is this a good fit?”, “Is this novel enough?”, “Did I miss something?”). Tens of thousands of you already use q.e.d to improve your manuscripts and critically read papers, we built the grant tool by the same principles (you’ll identify many of the features that you told us you like). We’ve processed thousands of proposals, learned where things fail, where reviewers get stuck, why good ideas come out weak. We interviewed hundreds of scientists, and also experts who work in funding agencies and university research authorities, and implemented their feedback (we’re constantly looking for more feedback). Our AI is always happy to give you constructive (and polite!) critique, and it will go through your grant line-by-line, forcing you to improve clarity, flag weak points, and push the whole thing to a higher standard. We study, in scale, what gets funded and what doesn’t, and what is the perfect fit for each type of grant. So please, use it, pressure-test it, tell us where it fails, and together we’ll improve it every day to put you in the best position for actually testing your ideas in the real world. As always with q.e.d, the system is completely secured and private, and we are NOT training on your data (see the FAQ on our website). Please like, retweet, and share with your favorite colleagues!

Inside the Think Tank That Whitewashed Whitmer's Nursing Home Deaths CHRT, whose office was still closed for Covid when we visited, helped coordinate the glowing PR campaign By Charlie LeDuff Charlie LeDuff Ann Arbor — The Whitmer administration hired an “outside, independent non-profit” to conduct a nursing home response study back in 2020. That “independent” analysis ultimately claimed that Whitmer’s strategy of placing Covid-infected people inside nursing homes was a great success. The study was released to the Michigan media who took it as gospel, and the swirling questions about what was really happening behind closed doors came to an abrupt end. Now, Michigan Enjoyer has unearthed 50,000 pages of internal health department documents that throw the validity and independence of that study into question. We called the nonprofit’s office a dozen times. The recorded message was the same: “You have reached CHRT — the Center for Health and Research Transformation. Our office hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our office space is not open to visitors.” What in the world? Apparently, no one had informed the so-called experts that Biden had officially ended the pandemic three years ago. We left messages. None were returned. So we drove out to Ann Arbor to their office space. Damn their Covid restrictions. A security guard escorted us up to their second-floor suite and key-swiped us in. The place brought to mind an empty appliance box. The lights were on, but there were no people. There were eight cubicles with computer monitors but no computers. No photographs. No stacks of paperwork. Just dust and a moldering coffee pot. The security guard was discombobulated. “I’m just confused,” she said. “Me, too.” I said. Whitmer was facing tremendous pressure over her nursing home policy in the summer of 2020. She and her health experts had co-opted the practice of commingling the sick and healthy from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But Cuomo had abandoned the practice 40 days into the pandemic under withering criticism from family members of people who had died in nursing homes. Whitmer, inexplicably, continued with the practice. And with the criticism mounting, she needed to show it worked. So her Health Department hired the Center for Health & Research Transformation through another nonprofit whose board of directors is controlled by Whitmer. CHRT was then headed by Marianne Udow-Phillips, a former Blue Cross Blue Shield executive and former director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services under Gov. Jennifer Granholm. The documents show that Udow-Phillips, a supposedly independent outsider, was actually an insider who was actively communicating with health officials while conducting the study. And they were planning a public relations push before the report was finalized. “We had a productive call with Marianne this afternoon,” a bureaucrat wrote to then Director of the Department of Human Services Robert Gordon. “They plan to issue a press release in conjunction with the report and we discussed the idea of doing a virtual press briefing together.” “Yes they are putting a chart into their report that is very powerful and we should widely disseminate,” Gordon wrote back. “From my perspective, the main points are: CHRT evidence shows the core of our policy, hubs, was reasonable and effective.” The problem with all of this is that Michigan health officials knew the death data in the federally funded nursing homes was comically flawed. Yet the nonprofit took that data at face value, anyhow. A few months before the release of the nursing home report, the director of CHRT emailed HHS officials looking for direction about what to feed the media. “(A reporter) is doing another article on the lack of data in Michigan nursing home cases and deaths from Covid,” wrote Udow-Phillips. “I’m hoping to better understand the data limitations were currently facing and what’s being done to address them. Thanks so much!” In the end, Michigan’s final nursing home death count is at least 25% lower than the final tallies of both the Auditor General of Michigan and the federal government. Udow-Phillips, who also worked as an intermediary between the Health Department and the Michigan press corps, declined an interview. Gordon, who left the Michigan health department in January 2021 with a $155,506.05 severance package and a non-disclosure agreement with Gov. Whitmer, went on to serve as a Biden Asst. Secretary of Health and Human Resources. According to his LinkedIn profile, Gordon is now the vice president of a nonprofit think tank leading efforts to modernize state-level administration systems. Efforts to contact him proved fruitless. His nonprofit has no centralized office and no publicly listed phone number.

Again, this is a long post — but it needs to be. We warned you that Digital ID was never scrapped. We also warned that what was presented to you as the proposed ‘BritCard’ was only ever one token within a much larger Digital Wallet system. The confusion is baffling, because the plans were there in plain sight; in Labour Together proposals and government documents. You only had to read them. However, we also know this is policy laundering in action: global frameworks repackaged as national solutions to make the agenda feel local, inevitable, and benign. BritCard functioned as a red herring. It became the focus, allowing the wider infrastructure to advance with far less scrutiny. The right to work and right to rent checks (the alleged purpose of the BritCard) were never abandoned. Even the announcement itself made clear they would remain mandatory — routed through OneLogin. And this is the real foundation. OneLogin is the de facto Digital ID layer. Where many people are mistaken is in thinking these elements are separate — BritCard, the Government Wallet, the new app. They are not. OneLogin sits beneath them all. It is the authentication base, the system intended to host biometric identity verification and connect multiple government services in one place. To use the Wallet, you will need a OneLogin account. That is the entry gate. The stack is simple: OneLogin is the credential layer. The Wallet app is the credential container. Tokens — for work, rent, licences, services and more — sit inside it. And this stack will continue to expand. They insist the model is decentralised because data may sit across different departments. But when one state platform aggregates access, when one login gateway mediates participation, when one official app becomes the expected interface for everyday life, the distinction becomes semantic. Functionally, this is centralisation. The Wallet is the centralising force. The infrastructure already built — and still being built — reflects that reality. OneLogin itself is not new. It was launched in 2021. What is new (but was always the plan) is the scale of dependence now being engineered around it. The newly announced Government Wallet proposal shocked many, yet the direction of travel has been openly signalled for years. The plans were published. The international frameworks were discussed. My repeated statement “Know thine enemy and know their plan” was never a metaphor — it was advice. They promise the system will be voluntary. In practice, systems like this are enforced through exclusion, and coercion. Alternatives gradually disappear. The path of least resistance becomes the only realistic path. Convenience is the sales pitch. Efficiency is the branding. Forced compliance is the outcome. The risks are not theoretical. Centralised authentication platforms become high-value targets by design. Security testing has already demonstrated that the system could be compromised without detection, and internal whistleblowers have warned of serious cyber-risk before full rollout. This is a single point of failure dressed up as modernisation. And single points of failure can be broken. We have already said no to Digital ID once — with millions of signatures. Now we are presented with another consultation process. While appealing to government is often futile when policy is driven by larger agendas, people should still make their position known if they choose to. Participation exposes resistance. Silence is read as consent. Partake in the consultation if you wish by completing the survey: Alternatively, email: [email protected] But understand this clearly: simply refusing to download an app will not be enough. Infrastructure of this scale embeds itself quietly and then becomes unavoidable. If this system is to be stopped, it must be made politically, socially and practically impossible to implement. We do not need it. We do not want it. And we must ensure it cannot be normalised. We must strike it down in its entirety. I’m sharing the video so you can hear what they’re saying in their own words. As expected, it’s wrapped in flowery language; ease, convenience, safety, choice. A frictionless future. It all sounds wonderful. Do not believe them. This was always about the Government Wallet, the all-encompassing Digital ID. The universal credential. The people tracking super-cookie for everyday life. The infrastructure they have been steadily building while insisting nothing fundamental was changing. They use reassuring words like sovereign. They promise it will be built in-house, that it won’t be outsourced, that it will protect you. Again — do not believe them. Governments do not construct systems of this scale without embedding dependency, leverage and control. I have been saying this since the launch of the Mass Non-Compliance campaign. The plans were never hidden. The documents were always there for anyone willing to read them. And of course, this is all tied to the rollout of facial recognition, social media bans for under-16s, VPN restrictions for under-18s through the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, the erosion of jury trials for non-indictable offences and cases where sentencing is 3 years or less, and the creeping deployment of AI and so-called ‘pre-crime’ tech (as they have snuck in the re-purposing digital ID photo’s for facial recognition mugshots) in our so-called ‘justice system.’ Piece by piece, the architecture is being laid. This is the blueprint for their digital gulag; a modern panopticon built to watch, predict, nudge and control. Again, know thine enemy and know their plan. Visit
