Steph Curry on Darius Garland, who said he grew up watching Curry: “It’s surreal that you’re this deep into your career and you have that influence. He was a guy when he first showed up in Cleveland that you knew was gonna be a problem in the league just because of his skillset, his composure. Obviously his speed. He’s just a gamer. I know he’s been dealing with some injuries early in the year and over the course of his career. But when he’s out there he’s always a threat. It’s great to see him continue to grow, and even in a new setting continuing to figure it out.”

Your toddler is egocentric. But that’s not a judgement on their character. In fact it’s a completely normal developmental stage. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget is credited with defining egocentrism as related to child development. And what it means is simply that young children have difficulty time seeing the world from the perspective of others. This video, shared to IG by maggie_robertson, is a perfect example. Watch as this little guy plays hide and seek with his mom. While his eyes are covered - making him hidden from his perspective - he’s not yet able to effectively consider the fact that he’s “hiding” in plain sight of his mother. He lacks what is often referred to as “theory of mind” when it comes to putting himself in mom’s shoes. In his own writing, Piaget described egocentrism as resolving by around age seven. But this tendency isn’t controlled by an on-off switch - it’s more like a dimmer switch through which children’s self-centered outlook fades over time. Indeed, you’ll note more and more examples of your little one displaying theory of mind over time.

Asked Nuggets coach David Adelman about the season that Jaylen Brown has had, and he gushed about Brown as both a player and a person. "The the elite shooting from mid range is such a big deal in our game, it's the late-clock ability, his overall size, his ability to play in the middle of the floor, which is really hard to come double people and not give up the three point line to a team like they have, I would just say his continued evolution in his game. "He's an elite, All-Star player, two-way player. I just watched him grow over the years, not just the championship year, but with Jayson Tatum, obviously out, more responsibility falls into his hands, and I thought they did a great job building around him for this particular season, with all the shooting that surrounds him." "He's a problem. He's not fun to watch on tape when you have to play against him. I'm a fan of his, just as a pure basketball person, not just as a coach. Actually got to spend some time in Africa, he was such an impressive person. He's good for the NBA. He's going to be a probelm for us tonight." "There was an Africa game that I coach in, that he played in. They used to do that yearly in South Africa. It's an amazing event. He came down there for that. And some of the events that we had to do -- humanitarian stuff, you go out and you see these communities, and just to see his investment in it was really impressive. And he was at a much younger age then. And I remember him in the bubble, speaking up at meetings and things like that." "Some people are born to lead. He definitely stands out as one of those people."

.Naval: “I’m always struck by the Elon Musk story where he did PayPal… And he said something along the lines of: ‘I made $200 million from the sale of PayPal. I put $100 million into SpaceX, $80 million into Tesla, $20 million into Solar City, and I had to borrow money for rent.’ This guy is a perennial risk taker. He’s always willing to start over. He doesn’t have any pride about being seen as successful or being seen as a failure. He’s willing to put it all on the line. Even now, his new startup is the USA. He’s basically trying to fix it like he would fix one of his startups. It’s a willingness to look like a fool and a willingness to start over. A lot of people just don’t have that. They become successful or rich or famous, and that’s it, they’re stuck. They don’t want to go back to zero. And creating anything great requires zero to one. And that means you go back to zero. And that’s really painful and hard to do.”

When Mick Ryan lost his son through sucide his world fell apart. Six years ago he decided that he would try to save even one life. He believes his son told him to do what he could, and he did. It started with just one teddy bear. A symbol he believes takes us all back to our childhoods. He placed it on a bridge with a note saying, "Your friends and family love you". He also left his own name and phone number, and the number of a su!c!de support line. He got a call one night and was able to help a young person who saw the Teddy and that’s when it took off. Mick drove around the country with his daughter placing Teddy bears and notes and solar lights on bridges, train tracks and on riversides, all in the hope that he could save eleven one life. But it’s done more than that. Not only has he saved a life, he has started a nationwide campaign, where people from all over of Ireland are now asking Mick for his signs and putting up their own bears. He’s even had messages from people in the U.K. and the US thanking him and lwttimg him know that they have taken on his idea..... and it’s working ❤️ Mick is 74. He’s recovering from a serious illness and he’s on a walker, but he said he won’t stop what he’s doing until he’s not around anymore to do it. We need more Micks in this world. Please suport this lovely short film showing the power of not just a village, but a little island. Producer- Yvonne Kinsella - That’s A Wrap TV Director - Martin Daneels. Camera - Joe Edwards. We need this film to be made, and im saying that as someone with absolutely zero to do with the production. We need more stories about the heros like Mick who are out there giving their lives to save strangers. What beautiful Human Being. That Go fund me link is in the comments as X doesnt like them.

It’s really so heartwarming how the guitar isn’t just a prop or a cool trademark for Wonbin, it’s part of his entire journey of falling in love with music. It’s the instrument his parents put in his hands at ten years old, the same one he clung to during nervous trainee evaluations and his first introduction to the world, the ( 🎸 ) emoji. You can see how much it means to him in the small details, like how he meticulously designed his first in-ears to weave his name into the shape of a guitar and a pick . Even his first custom microphone features a guitar that "somehow appeared" while he was doodling. It’s a love that started with watching Gibson Les Paul videos in middle school and grew into a dream to perform with the "one-of-a-kind" presence of people he admires . When he plays, he isn’t just showing off a skill that his teacher called "special" from day one, he’s sharing a piece of himself that has been more than ten years in the making. From a ten year old boy with his first gift to the artist we see today...it has been his most loyal companion 🎸

Jesse Duplantis Ministries Cancels Show on Daystar TV Amidst Scandal. Jesse Duplantis is a prosperity preacher who is close friends with Kenneth Copeland. Jesse Duplantis is canceling his show from Daystar TV citing he is changing with the times and it doesn’t have anything to do with the scandals at the ministries. Jesse states that he loves everyone in the Lamb family and they are all his friends. He is going to be focusing on social media and changing with the times. He seemed to indicate that regular TV is not bearing fruit for his ministry so its time to make a change. He also stated that God told him to do this. Despite appearances Jesse is not taking a stand for righteousness. He seems to be only concerned with his ministry. Jesse Duplantis tell everyone not to talk about any of this but that they should just pray instead. Its moments like this that I am embarrassed to be part of the charismatic church. Word of Faith and Prosperity gospel should be rejected although there is some truth to prosperity in the bible. Biblical prosperity can come in many forms and doesn’t come with a promise of getting rich. Jesse does not preach a gospel with Jesus at the center since money is at the center. #christiannews #ChristianFaith #DaystarScandal #Daystar

This was an unexpected moment. Chris Cuomo ended his show tonight telling his audience that he believes Jesus and his story were absolutely real — before announcing he’s heading to the Middle East to film a special on the truth behind the resurrection. CUOMO: “First of all, I absolutely think Jesus was a man and I think his story was real.” “And I’ll have more about that in a second.” “I’m saying the idea that God has to have a gender. He’s not, he’s everything. He’s always. He is love. He is truth.” “I’m going into the region to cover what’s happening in Iran, to show how it’s affecting different countries, and of course Israel.” “And while I’m there, we’re going to shoot a special on the truth of the resurrection.” “What we know, we don’t know and why.”

James Talarico speaks like the Antichrist. Saying God is nonbinary. Saying there are six biological sexes. Saying the trans community needs abortion care. Saying the Blessed Mother Mary accepting God’s will to bear the Son of God in her womb justifies murdering children in the womb. Texans, don’t be fooled by his boy-next-door look. You have to wonder exactly who is being worshipped in Talarico’s church and who the sacrifices on that altar he speaks in front of are being made to. I suspect it’s not to the same God that you and I worship. This man reminds us that politics is not just a competition. It’s not just a game. It is a battle of good versus evil. And we know this for a fact because so much of what comes out of his mouth is evil. It’s not just impractical. It’s not just spending too much. It’s not just engaging in forever wars. It’s not just fraud. It’s evil.

Jesus said His return would be like the days of Noah. Not just marked by darkness, but by people continuing on as normal, unaware of what was coming. There may be increasing spiritual confusion and deception, but the greater issue is this: people are not ready. God is patient. He is not trying to keep people out, He is calling them in. There is still time to turn, to come back, and to walk in fellowship with Him. Sin doesn’t just affect behavior, it affects relationship. It separates, and if we’re not careful, it leaves us unprepared for His appearing. This isn’t a message of fear. It’s a call to be ready while there is still time. Watch the full episode here:

Imagine a man who believed in you so much that as they put nails through his hands and feet, he begged the creator to forgive them, "for they know not what they do" That man suffered immensely for you. The night before, he sweat blood. The following day, they beat him with spiked whips and chains until he had hundreds of wounds.... then they layed him on a cross and nailed him to it while they mocked him.... And the entire time, he was praying for their salvation. He was dying for yours and mine. He replaced a debt we could never pay with his own blood. Imagine if that was just a man. You'd call him a hero..... You'd hang ribbons on his gravestone and build statues in his honor.... But he wasn't just a man. 3 days later he rose from the dead and scattered his followers to all corners of the world to spread the good news. Christ is King..... and he is waiting for you with open arms to join his kingdom.

There are so many subtle, but deliberate, animation choices with Alastor’s expressions during this scene that shift it from just a brutal, cruel rejection into something more complex. On the surface, the rejection is theatrical, performative. It’s too over-the-top with its mockery, so much so that Vox is taken aback by Alastor’s reaction, even tries to laugh along with him at first because it’s so seemingly misplaced. His body language is a contradiction: he hides his face initially, hiding that initial reaction from Vox and the viewer — almost as if he’s recalibrating, trying to reposition the hurt of thinking Vox was also just attempting to use him for his power. It’s a quick withdrawal from a character usually so present and visible. When he turns back to Vox, his eyes read wounded and confused at the suggestion. Canonically, Alastor is fixated on autonomy and control, both in life and in Hell. The partnership Vox poses, to Alastor, is interpreted as a transaction, one where he is reduced to a tool, an asset, a resource. His laugher is more defensive than genuine here — it’s the sound of Alastor refusing the premise before Vox can further define the relationship for him. He grabs at his hair, something we’ve only seen when he’s stressed and seemingly losing that control. It’s one of those rare moments where Alastor’s invulnerability shatters, where something has truly gotten under his skin, and where he’s felt it all. Alastor’s perpetual smile means that every small, physical shift is amplified as a more emotional tell. Especially here.

Nick Wright says everything about Wemby feels tenuous and a little scary, it’s why he’s so special: “The flip side of the coin of we’ve never seen a guy be able to tip dunk his own missed three, we’ve never seen a guy be able to protect the paint while guarding the three point line. Is what goes along with having a body that size is just more times your going to say I’ve never seen it. Normally it’s amazing and then the other night it was, I’ve never seen a NBA player fall quite like that and this sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, I don’t know the actual math on this, but just visual because I’ve seen guys fall like that and I’ve seen guys fall like that and hit their face on the ground it felt to me because of the extra length of torso almost that by the time his head hit the ground it was just going a little bit faster it gained more velocity. And it wasn’t lost on me that the highlight of game one, the on where they showed Duncan and Robinson going like “ Oh my God” was when Wemby took the ball at half court did the spin move in the paint and then dunked. That was almost exact same thing he was trying to do on this play. And like when, it’s the size plus the style. He’s not just planting himself in the paint, like he’s out there moving. And it is the elephant in the room on any of the, how many MVPs? How many championships? It’s like, man. How nervous are you going to be every time this giant of a man falls.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

And it wasn’t lost on me that the highlight of game one, the on where they showed Duncan and Robinson going like “ Oh my God” was when Wemby took the ball at half court did the spin move in the paint and then dunked. That was almost exact same thing he was trying to do on this play. And like when, it’s the size plus the style. He’s not just planting himself in the paint, like he’s out there moving. And it is the elephant in the room on any of the, how many MVPs? How many championships? It’s like, man. How nervous are you going to be every time this giant of a man falls.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Andrei Tarkovsky on Ingmar Bergman's Shame (1968): "Let us look at Bergman's Shame. The film doesn't contain a single 'actor's piece' for the performer to 'give away' the director's purpose, to play the conception of the persona, his attitude to it, to assess it in relation to the overall idea; and the latter is entirely hidden within the dynamic of the characters' lives, at one with it. The people in the film are crushed by circumstances; they act only in accordance with their situation, to which they themselves are subordinate; they make no attempt to proffer us any idea, any perspective on what is happening, or to draw any conclusion. All of that is left to the film as a whole, to the director's vision. And how superbly it is accomplished! You cannot say in simple terms who amongst them is good or bad. I could never say that von Sydow is a bad man. They are all partly good and partly bad, each in his own way. No judgements are passed, because there is no hint of tendentiousness in any of the actors, and the circumstances of the film are used by the director to explore the human possibilities which they test, and not for a moment in order to illustrate a thesis. Max von Sydow's character is developed with masterly power. He is a very good man; a musician; kind and sensitive. It turns out that he is a coward. But by no means every bold man is a good human being, and cowards are not always scoundrels. Of course, he is weak and irresolute. His wife is far stronger than he, so much so that she can overcome her fear. The hero lacks that strength. He is tormented by his own weakness, vulnerability, lack of resilience; he tries to hide, to cower in a corner, not to see and not to hear; and he does this like a child, naively and with complete sincerity. But when circumstances nevertheless force him to defend himself, he instantly turns into a scoundrel. He loses all that was best in him; but the drama and absurdity of his situation is that as he is now he becomes necessary to his wife, who, in her turn, looks to him for protection and succour instead of despising him as she always had. When he beats her about the face and says 'Get out!' she goes crawling after him. There is something here of the age-old idea of passive good and active evil; but its expression is immensely complex. At the beginning of the film the hero cannot even kill a chicken, but as soon as he has found a way of defending himself he becomes a cruel cynic. He has something of Hamlet: my view is that the Prince of Denmark perishes not as a result of the duel, when he dies physically, but immediately after the 'rat' scene, when he understands how irreversible are those laws of life which have forced him, a man of humanity and intellect, to act like the inferior people who inhabit Elsinore. Von Sydow is now a sinister character, afraid of nothing: he kills; will not raise a finger to save his fellows; pursues only his own interests. The point is that you have to be a person of great integrity to feel fear in the face of the foul necessity to kill and humiliate. And by shedding that fear and apparently acquiring courage, a person in fact loses his spiritual strength and intellectual honesty and parts from his innocence. War is the obvious catalyst for the cruel, anti-human elements in people. Bergman uses the war in this film exactly as he uses the heroine's illness in Through a Glass Darkly: to explore his view of man." — "Sculpting in Time" by Andrei Tarkovsky (translated by Kitty Hunter-Blair, 1987)

the way you literally *see* the anxiety seep into his features when he’s compared to tiger woods and serena williams. all shane ever wanted to do was play hockey, and the expectations on him as a POC to break barriers was huge. the concept of being outed and adding to those expectations of being a “trailblazer” must have been incomprehensible. as an asian player in a predominantly white sport, he always has to be a step above the rest just to be comfortable occupying the same space. adding queerness into the mix is another layer of “otherness” that is terrifying for someone like shane who’s only ever wanted to fit in and be recognised for his sport rather than as a public persona. he never wanted to be a role model and i just know that the pressure of that weighs on him. it’s something i definitely want to see explored from shane’s side in the show as well. of course we know ilya’s struggles and they’re explored in depth as they should be - but i’d love to see some exploration of the fact that as a white person ilya just gets to be good at hockey. for shane, being good at hockey will ALWAYS come with the extra weight/responsibility of knowing he’s a role model and he’s representing something bigger. it’s no wonder he’s desperate to find control in other areas of his life (his diet, his exercise routine etc).
