I really try to save my "doom and gloom" posts for only the most deserving moments when I feel like they are justified. Now is one of those moments. The structure that is rapidly beginning to appear on visible satellite is a harbinger of bad things to come. Minimal...

The NYT interview with Taylor Swift on her songwriting process is so good. Here she explains her approach to choruses and bridges: “The importance for me of a bridge is it just feels like we’re painting a picture. We’re setting a scene. We have this opportunity as a songwriter to tell an entire story. Or an entire movie. Or a very detailed description of one scene in a movie. Or a very nuanced dynamic between people or a complicated emotion. And we have only so long to do this. I’ve written some really long songs in my life. But, for the most part, they’re between 3.5 to 4 minutes. You can start painting the picture in the verse. You can get to the heart of it at the chorus. But then the bridge can be where you zoom back, you walk 20 feet back, and you see what this entire painting was supposed to be. You’ve seen brushstrokes. You’ve seen the color tones. But the bridge can be when you step back and you feel everything that that piece of art was supposed to make you feel. That’s just how I feel about bridges. I came up as a songwriter in Nashville, where structure is a huge part of how you effectively tell a story, right? You go verse - chorus - second verse - chorus - bridge - chorus. Maybe you repeat that first verse if you want to. If you want to pull at some heartstrings. If it makes sense. Now, that’s something that I absolutely subscribe to…that structure is important. But I think that when you write enough songs — at least in my case — the intuitive part of your songwriting brain can kind of create a new structure that’s not as classically what you’ve been taught. Jack Antonoff is a collaborator of mine and one of my best friends. We established this thing that we love to do and we call it the rant bridge. I could point to examples like, ‘Out of the Woods’, ‘Is It Over Now?’ or ‘Cruel Summer’. And oftentimes we love these rant bridges, where it’s basically like stream of consciousness. Endless pouring-out of emotion. Intrusive thoughts, blended with metaphor with discussion with shouting. You want this rant bridge to feel the most intense of what that feeling is…that you’re trying to, establish over the course of the song and you want it to kind of be a crescendo.” *** Full interview here:

Rick Rubin tells Andrew Huberman how he deals with creative or writer’s block. He treats his work like a diary entry (and doesn’t worry about internal or external judgment): ➡️ “What's the cause of the block? The block is usually something that's either personal ("I'm not good enough") or it can be a confidence issue ("I don't have anything to say") or it could be...thinking about someone else ("nobody's going to like what I make"). Do you know what I'm saying? So, it's either fear of self-judgment or external judgment. If you're making something with a freedom of "this is something I'm making for myself for now", that is all [you have to do]. It is a diary entry. Everything I make is a diary entry. The beauty of a diary entry is that I can write my diary entry and you can't tell me that my diary entry wasn't good enough. Or that [the diary entry] is not what I experienced. Of course it's what I experienced: I'm writing a personal diary for myself and no one else can judge if it is my experience of my life. Everything we make can be that: a personal reflection of who we are in that moment of time. It doesn't have to be the greatest you could ever do. It doesn't have to have any expectation that it's going to change the world. It doesn't have to sell a certain number of copies for any reason. It doesn't have any of those things at all. It is "I'm making this thing for me and I want to do it to the best of my ability and to where I feel good about it". [The work] is honest of where I'm at and if you're living in this world of just being honest to where you're at, there's nothing blocking you. There are no blocks. The blocks are all based on dealing with a different force or a different perception that is made up.” ⬅️

Arteta on his role to re-energise the Arsenal team. 💪 “Certainly, when you lose a game, you have a lot of feelings because, especially, this group of players are so competitive and they seek for excellence and when you don't reach it, you ask yourself questions, and we did that. “But I think my role there as well is to bring optimism and reality about where we are, and yeah, our club has a long history. And to find a moment where, in February, we're in the position that we are, is very difficult to find. So guys, we are doing so many things so well, and let's focus mainly on that. And for sure, we want to improve, we want to be better in every area, but with that sense as well of self-confidence and conviction that we are in the right path. Anyone need to lift Arteta? “No, in these moments, no. Normally, I'm the opposite and when we are doing so well, I'm there with a stick to say, 'This is not good enough,' 'This is not good enough.' The other day, no, because I know how much they wanted the amount of games and the demands that we put on those players every day. “In those moments, they need to understand and feel that we are right behind them. I'm mainly responsible for that and they keep playing with that freedom, with that enjoyment, as I discussed the other day, and I make sure that that journey is beautiful because what is ahead is great and everybody has to be part of that but in a good sense and with good humor and with good optimism and looking forward to it.”

sung hanbin’s letter to the zb1 members (full eng trans) 💌 “my beloved members who feel like family to me, this is your leader, hanbin. to be honest, i’m not sure if i’ll be able to read this letter all the way to the end, but i’ll try my best to express the things i’ve wanted to say and carefully put them into words. the time that felt like it would never come has finally come to us. maybe that’s why this moment feels both cruel and a little sad. during our activities and even in everyday life, i’ve received so much strength from our members. because of that, i always carry a heart full of gratitude toward all of you. the position of leader, which i took on for the first time, was never something light. sometimes it felt like a burden, and sometimes it felt like a heavy weight. there were definitely moments when it felt difficult. but the reason i was able to strengthen my heart and keep running forward while looking only ahead was because the members i love were by my side. in life, even until now, i’ve been more used to solving things on my own. rather than leaning on others or receiving help, i thought it was more comfortable to handle things by myself. but through the time we’ve spent together with my precious members, i gained a big realization: that i’m also someone who truly needs the help and support of others. even in difficult moments, what allowed me to stand up again was the trust that the members gave me. through all of these moments, i felt a great warmth, and with this one belief, i was able to become stronger and stand again. so with the hope that the members can walk confidently wherever they go…so that they could receive that strength, i think i tried even harder to become a good example. because i carried those feelings, there were probably many things i had to say that might have sounded harsh or painful for our members to hear. but there was only one reason behind all those words and actions: so that the members i love wouldn’t get hurt somewhere else, so that their hearts wouldn’t be hurt. if there were moments when the members felt hurt because of me, i want to take this opportunity to say that i’m really sorry, and i hope you can forgive me with open hearts. sometimes when you said things like, “hanbin hyung is here, hanbin hyung will solve it”, it often felt like a lot of pressure to me. but after realizing that those words were actually a sign of the members’ deep trust, they became incredibly precious to me… it made me feel how precious it truly was. and that’s when i felt it even more that we had really become a family. so now this moment feels even more bittersweet and regretful. even while writing this letter, my heart feels complicated and emotions that are hard to describe in words keep passing through me. but there is something i really want to say: hanbin, jiwoong, hao, matthew, taerae, ricky, gyuvinie, gunwookie, yunjinie…my members who are like my family, i love you all so much. even if we end up walking different paths from now on, i will always be cheering for you first from a place close to my heart. so with the memories we’ve built together, let’s keep our shoulders up and move forward. i hope you only go through a little hardship and that from now on your path is filled only with flowers. and someday, when the nine of us gather and meet again, let’s just smile like we do now and make sure to hug each other. from your leader hanbin, who may have been imperfect but loved the members more than anyone. march 15, 2026.” 😭💔

The Counter-Strike Content Scene might have a big problem on YouTube... YouTube removed my video for promoting unlicensed gambling despite it NOT containing any mention of gambling / case opening websites. They refuse to back down and at the same time they REFUSE to specify at which time the "promotion" is located. If they don't give us this information, I will not know how to avoid this in the future, and releasing videos becomes quite scary as I risk the removal of the entire channel despite not doing anything wrong intentionally. This is a extremely frustrating problem to have as I see a multitude of channels directly promote gambling sites and nothing is done to them, while at the same time I chose to NOT take gambling website money to avoid problems like this, it makes no sense. The only thing they have provided us is a link to their policy (I will share this in the post below so you can read it too if you want) which states Direct promotion of gambling is not allowed, but I repeat, there was none. As it was a documentary about a Counter-Strike player - Xantares, there were images of him wearing jerseys that had the names of gambling websites on them, but that is not a direct promotion. I'd like to ask the community to like & retweet this for visibility, and ideally if anyone is in contact with a person on the YouTube team that could give us a good faith explanation of what we did wrong, it would really help out not only just me, but the entire community because if I won't be able to release videos due to fear of getting strikes, I will not be the only creator is affected. At the same time I decided to upload the video here, on X, to invite the community to point out if they see how I broke the YT policy. Maybe I and my team just don't see something obvious, that would be the best case scenario... TeamYouTube

[Talking about self-worth and insecurities] 👨🏻‍🚀: I want everyone who has ever felt like they weren't pretty, they weren't attractive, they weren't good looking, they weren't strong enough, they had insecurities, or that they might feel like they're exploding from overthinking. And I'm not talking about one of these six, i'm talking about all of them. If you have ever had a situation where felt all six of these, I want you guys to type 1 into the chat. 👨🏻‍🚀: So, the point of that experiment wasn't to invalidate what you're feeling, because you're valid for feeling that. I think that is a common human emotion that we all have a problem we're dealing with. Our insecurities are the things that make us lash out, make us feel like we're not enough. And the thing about it, is no matter how rich you are, no matter how handsome you are, no matter how pretty you are, no matter how strong you are, no matter how great you are, no matter how intelligent you are, no matter how competent you are, there's always gonna be moments where this comes to you and I think the best thing to think in this situation is that yes i'm feeling this things, to validate yourself. You're not wrong for feeling this way. There's nothing wrong with you. Everyone feels this. 👨🏻‍🚀: But, during those times, i think it is very important to remember the moments in your life where you did feel worthy. Where you felt like you were just enough for that one person that you're talking to. Or you felt like you aced in a certain exam or you did really well in one thing. I think you remember those moments and then you push on for more of those moments so that eventually, in your life, you stop thinking about things that- or situation that made you think you're not worthy and start pondering more , recycling more of things that made you feel worthy. yunamseng?

Should Christian Nationalism and Catholic Integralism be taken seriously? Ben Sasse answers. “‘Should they be taken seriously?’ I mean, ultimately I think no — but I want to be humble about how and why we get there.” “Can people who are skeptical of a lot of Enlightenment assumptions be reasonable in making those cases? Of course. I'm pretty sympathetic to a lot of what the Enlightenment offered us in response to many of the things that had just come before. But that doesn't mean that the Enlightenment is at all a foretaste of heaven.” “I think there is a temptation right now to have an over-realized eschatology where people want to find a city that has foundations. ‘Right now, dang it, I'm ready to build it and I want it to be better and I want it now. And I want to smash the people who are in the way of it’ is tonally the way a lot of these folks talk.” “But philosophically, having a debate is one thing and claiming that they're doing practical politics is quite another. So I think it is important, without us, you know, trying to answer a lot of these questions, to at least acknowledge there are Catholic claims about integralism that a lot of Protestants seem to pine for and lust after without working through — what would that really mean?” “I just look at a lot of the debates of the last two months about women's suffrage and I just kind of want to shake my head and say, ‘Man, this is a weirdo online phenomenon.’ There is no chance on earth that any of these folks who are advancing some sub-varieties of Christian nationalism are actually thinking there's math by which they're going to end women's suffrage. And yet they talk like it. Because online, it seems really provocative to say things like that. And I don't really know what it's worth to linger on some of these silly online debates.” Watch: Listen:
