I’d like to officially apologize. I’ve been posting too many unattainable supercars, when my core audience knows that tuned entry level econoboxes are lowkey way more fun than supercars that are mostly used for Instagram flexing instead of driving. Take the Toyota Vitz RS built by Yashio Factory. 1000cc... show more

UP driver Craig Coker hit Laguna Seca in the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance for the first time for testing and baseline lap times as we continue to develop for the platform. We are very pleased with the results. Craig ran a 1:35.07 on DOT street tires in the new car, compared to his best lap on the previous gen Model 3, which was 1:35.7 and that was with a full Ascension-R build and on slicks. More than 1/2 second faster in the new car with no aero mods, less tire, full interior, and using factory Track Mode with no 3rd party boxes. This is a true representation of a modded daily driver with the factory drivetrain/battery warranty intact. Can’t wait to go back and drop that time even further!

I received a Statement from Big Tigger — who is currently the focus of an alleged domestic dispute investigation following a video posted by his wife alicia of her bruised face with the caption “Someone ask my husband why my face happened” STATEMENT FROM BIG TIGGER: I received an Over the past several days, there has been significant public discussion and speculation regarding my personal life. I understand this can happen when you are a public figure, and I appreciate the support and concern that so many people have shown. I want to say categorically that these allegations and accusations that have been circulating are false. Additionally, it’s important to clarify that Francesca and I have never been anything more than friends and respected colleagues. I’d like to apologize to her for the impact of these last few days. Out of respect for everyone involved, I ask for grace, privacy, and restraint as my family navigates this difficult moment. For more than 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving my community through music, entertainment, and connection, and I remain grateful for the trust so many of you have placed in me throughout that journey. I intend to continue living and leading in a manner worthy of that trust.

Really good insight from More Plates More Dates on how being super lean is used dishonestly to sell a look of size that isn’t there. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’ve always felt I’d rather clearly look like I lift with normal clothes on, even if not shredded, than be shredded but have to take off my shirt or wear absurdly small clothes for anybody to know I even lift, bro. But the latter often looks more appealing in pictures especially when they use lighting, angles, and other tricks to appear bigger than they actually are. What do you think?

#RobloxDev One of Roblox's biggest problems isn't just monetization. It's that we've slowly accepted the idea that games made for kids don't have to be good. Somewhere along the way, "it's for kids" stopped being a target audience and started becoming an excuse. An excuse for shallow gameplay, lazy garbage, and games designed to maximize engagement instead of creating memorable experiences. You see this outside of games too. Whenever a movie or show for kids gets criticized, one of the first responses is, "Well, it's for kids." As if that somehow excuses lower standards. But the best family movies are loved by both kids and adults because they're simply well made. They respect their audience instead of talking down to them. Roblox used to feel more like that. Games like Work at a Pizza Place and Natural Disaster Survival weren't perfect, but they were built around fun ideas instead of engagement metrics. Even early simulators like Bubblegum Simulator had a level of charm and respect for their audience before the genre became flooded with trend chasing brainrot games built around AI garbage. The problem isn't that kids have lower standards. It's that adults stopped believing quality products for kids matter. That's the philosophy behind the side project I've been working on Beeconomy. It's made with kids in mind, but I don't want to talk down to them. I want to make something adults can enjoy too. Something built with care instead of optimized to squeeze every dollar out of its audience. Making a game for kids shouldn't mean making a worse game. Kids deserve better from us. They deserve games that respect their intelligence, reward their curiosity, and are made because someone genuinely cared about creating something great. Thanks for your patience! #BEECONOMY

"In 'Zodiac' (2007), I wanted the audience to feel like they went through the ringer with these guys,(...) in retrospect you look at it & say maybe audiences who are looking for entertainment on a Friday night don’t want that toll taken on them." --- David Fincher Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: It’s so rare to walk out of a movie and to feel like I know more about a subject than I did walking into it. Watching Zodiac is like the experience of reading a really absorbing non-fiction book, and I know that part of it for you was about honoring the people who were the victims of the Zodiac, but you also have so many details, so many facts, you take it to such a level where there’s so much information… why was that important to you? Fincher: I don’t respect movies that treat me like I don’t have the attention span or mental faculty to follow… it’s one thing to talk about Dave Toschi’s fall from grace in an oblique and generic way. I can answer that question in a couple of different ways. I wanted the movie to take its toll on the audience, I wanted the audience to feel like they went through it, like they went through the ringer with these guys, and I didn’t know how to do that because these guys didn’t run across rooftops and fall off fire escapes. In their quest to bring the Zodiac to justice they followed the trail of breadcrumbs as far as it would take them, and they kept pushing and kept pushing when there were crackpots coming out of the woodwork. I felt like I didn’t want to make one of those movies where you do montage/montage/montage and you get the idea that they went to the mat with this, that it took its toll – I wanted the audience to feel that. You know, in retrospect you look at it and say maybe audiences who are looking for entertainment on a Friday night don’t want that toll taken on them. I felt like anything less than that would be doing the story and people involved a disservice. You could do it as something compressed, where you get the gist of it, and we would have shots of Jake [Gyllenhaal] half asleep and you would have those obligatory shots where the boss says, ‘You look like sh!t.’ And in the end I still don’t feel like you get enough of what happens with his family, we don’t get enough with his wife and kids, but it was all we could do to get it in at under two hours and forty minutes. I feel like we took about as much time as you can really expect an audience to sit still for and we tried to make them feel what it was like to be invested in this circuitous run down the rabbit hole." (David Fincher's interview with Devin Farachi, 2008)

Éric Rohmer explains why he didn't like his movies being screened at crowded theaters: "If it depended only on me, instead of attracting people to my films, I would try to drive them away. I would tell them the films are more difficult than they really are, because I don’t like to deceive people, I like to show my films to people who can appreciate them. I’m not interested in the number of spectators. Having said that, it’s true that a film is a commercial undertaking and ought to recover its costs. But as my films don’t cost much, I don’t think I need a very large audience, and I’ve always thought that they should be shown in theaters that aren’t too big. The intimate character of my films doesn’t suit a theater or an audience too large for them. And I don’t think they are suited to a mass reaction or a collective reaction. It’s better if the spectator feels he is experiencing a completely personal reaction to it. Each reaction should be unique, individual, and different. I think the film is enjoyed better if the spectators aren’t sitting too near one another, if the theater isn’t too full, and they don’t know each other. Then each has a different reaction. That’s better than a theater where there’s a uniform reaction. I don’t like watching one of my films in public and it distresses me if everyone laughs in the same place, as my film wasn’t made with that in mind. I didn’t write something just to make everyone laugh at the same time. It’s all right if someone smiles, but it shouldn’t happen at exactly the same place in the film. Perhaps this is because my films are more like reading than like watching a spectacle; they are made more to be read like a book than seen like something on the stage. So it distresses me to see a collective reaction." (Éric Rohmer's interview with Éric Rohmer, 1971) Clip from: La collectionneuse (1967) Director: Éric Rohmer

🐿️ Anyway, since for the time being, as of right now, I don’t have any schedules involving choreography for over a week, I’ll try to take good care of myself. I also want to get better quickly and be on stage full of energy, breathing together with you all, so I’ll try to rest well too. I went to the hospital, (laughs) and the company is also really worried about me. Seeing that everyone sent me messages… I was worried that maybe TINYs might misunderstand, but I realized there was no need for that. TINYs… were saying things like this too, (laughs) that KQ couldn’t stop me, so they told/tattled on me to ATINY. I know ATINY’s feelings very well too. Of course, that’s true, I have my own desire too, and because I want to keep, as much as possible, the promises I make with TINYs and things like that, and because I know very well what TINYs are saying, I’ll take good care of myself. Since this is the first time in the 8 years I’ve been doing this that I’ve experienced a situation like this, where it’s difficult to dance because of this, I had been getting through it well in my own way. But when I went to the hospital once more this week, they told me that with my ribs, if I keep moving my body, the treatment/recovery period will only get longer anyway. So after giving it a lot of thought/after much consideration, we agreed/decided that I would go ahead/proceed with it (schedules) even if I had to do it sitting down. video cr. m0men1_s2

This is what happens when you put a woman to do a man’s job. I mean, of course women are welcome in the world of video games, whether as developers, as people involved in the industry in some way or simply as players. But this mentality that everything has to appeal to everyone, and then putting a woman to make decisions in a franchise that has always been very focused on a male audience, is a very, very big risk. If you’re going to put a woman in charge of products aimed at a male audience, she has to be very good at understanding what men want and have the professionalism to respect that. In the case of this video, we can clearly see that this was not what happened. This woman cared more about putting in “cute” and “nice” things that suit her own taste instead of focusing on pleasing the target audience. And look… I’ve been to a neko café in Japan. It’s wonderful. I love cats, I’m a proud cat lover, and I’m not ashamed of that. I’ve rescued more than 10 cats from the streets, I love these little creatures. But for the love of God… I don’t want to see cute little kittens in my shooter, which is supposed to be full of testosterone.

We’re governed by psychopaths who operate with cold pragmatism, ruthless, detached and driven less by values than by outcomes. To them, people become abstractions, reduced to numbers on a balance sheet. Money is the primary metric and when wealth no longer satisfies, influence and control take its place. Take Ukraine, It is devastated, heavily dependent on external funding, even to pay basic salaries. Yet at the same time, some of its wealthiest elites, many of whom built fortunes through deals that tied the country’s assets to powerful foreign financial and corporate interests like black Rock are seen having lavish events in places like Cannes. Inviting American singers to perform for millions of dollars on their birthdays and weddings. Meanwhile, young men are being sent to fight and die. This is what people’s stupidity and ugliness looks like. And if you think it’s only Ukraine, I suggest you look in the mirror. We live in a country where Congress is powerless by chose most of them are bought out by AIPAC money. All the while, they ask you for money for war, but the profits are theirs the entire time. Now we have airline CEOs openly saying that ticket prices are higher because of fuel costs and tensions with Iran. But they also admit that when fuel prices go down, ticket prices will stay high because people are willing to pay. And then they dare to tell you that you live in capitalism. No under capitalism, you take the risk and keep the reward. That's how capitalism works. What we have in America is corporatism, you take the risk and they keep the reward! No society has ever been this disconnected, this distracted, and this passive as America is today. They do whatever they want and almost no one pushes back. Full episode - link below:

📢🤼‍♂️ PRO WRESTLING back in the day, gave us outrageous characters like Adrian Adonis and Goldust. They were designed to shock audiences, generate heat, and tell compelling stories. The louder the boos, the bigger the success. That was the business. Today, corporate pro wrestling has flipped the business model upside down on its head. Instead of creating controversial characters to entertain, they're weaponizing entertainment to normalize and promote ideological messaging. Fans are no longer encouraged to react organically. They are expected to affirm the performance; as in the Nyla Rose saga. Look at AEW. Fans have reportedly been removed for mocking Nyla Rose, even though wrestling has ALWAYS thrived on fans heckling villains and "larger than life" characters. The industry that once celebrated audience participation now polices it. The wrestling business I fell in love with was built on freedom to provoke, offend, cheer, boo, and laugh. When corporations begin deciding which reactions are acceptable and which are forbidden, wrestling stops being unpredictable entertainment and starts becoming manufactured messaging. Propaganda used to normalize certain behaviours in society. That's a path that WILL NOT grow the business. It will slowly suffocate it.

A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown. The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you. With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything. This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved. Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes. I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can. Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life. William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling. To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright. 🎬 by Will Warr

⭐️: Did I enjoy our hoobae/Xikers’ concert? Oh yes, it was really so much fun! Ah, actually… I’ve been feeling a lot of things lately. Like.. I’ve actually been taking a break from working out. Of course, I did work out today but after the concert (tour) ended and after finishing the Cosmopolitan photoshoot and advertisement, and seeing that some of the things we’ve been preparing for are finally done… I’ve been working hard on my schedules, we have schedules almost every day… but like doing my best on stage every day and filming content diligently, I did that. But when I thought about it, I realized I haven’t really been doing anything on my own for personal development… Actually, it hasn’t even been a week? since I stopped doing that but I’ve been so caught up in everything that suddenly taking breaks made me reflect a little like… how should I put it into words? When I think about it, did I really give my best when preparing for things? Have I been a little too lenient with myself lately? And when I watched the kids’ (Xikers) concert, it made me think a lot about the past. I remember when we first went on the Fellowship Tour, after releasing two albums, we went to America not knowing much and we worked hard on stage. We were total rookies. We only had two or three? outfits that we had performed on music shows wearing. And thinking about that… I watched my entire gallery from start to finish and I realized I’ve really done a lot. I thought, “Wow, I really ran without resting.” But while watching I also wondered, “Did I really give my best?” Lately, I’ve been thinking, “Am I really putting in the effort like I did back then?” And also.. when doing this job, well not just this job but things in general, you know… “I put in 100% of effort, but the result was only 20%, meanwhile someone next to me only put in 20% effort, but their result was 100%.” When stuff like that happens it can be really easy to feel disillusioned right? I think it’s a concern everyone has, not just me. It feels like my efforts are being denied and because of that I start doubting myself and those kinds of thoughts come to mind. But then as I keep thinking like this, I realize that if I only put in a 20% effort and the result was 100%, I’d feel really embarrassed. Because, just like I’ve been thinking lately, I’d ask myself, “Did I really give my best? Did I put everything I had into it?” It’s always been like this (with this mentality) but recently, over the past week, I’ve just been going through my schedules without working out and I thought I was living a busy and beautiful life, but now I feel like I didn’t do enough. Still, if I put in a 100% effort and the result was 20%, I think I would feel proud rather than disappointed, I wouldn’t have any regrets. So these days I’ve been thinking that I should live in a way that I won’t be ashamed of myself. When I look in the mirror I want to feel proud, even if my efforts only amount to a 20%. Even if the outcome is only 20% if I know I’ve done my best for myself, for TINYs and for the members, then that result would be something I would not be ashamed of and I would still feel like it’s a good result. That's what I've been thinking these days. #SEONGHWA #성화

Hirokazu Koreeda on how he directs Children: "Interviewer: I think 'Shoplifters' (2018) is very remarkable in showing different sides of a city and like you said, people who are pretty much invisible, but I do want to also commend you on another thing, is you often work with young actors, and they always tend to have a significant role in many of your films. How do you go about finding such dynamic young actors, and why do you often put these young people at the center of each one of your stories? Koreeda: First of all, I would say that I tend to make what I would call family dramas, and of course, you have to have children if you’re creating a family, but that’s how it started, but I found that as I did it, I became really interested. It became very interesting and fun to work with these children, and for example, the two children in this film, neither of them had any acting experience at all before this film. I brought them in, and what I find when you bring these children in, and you work with them is that the adult actors change. They become much more lively and natural in the way that they act, and I guess, at some point, I realized this, and I guess, became really attracted to the idea of having children and the impact that it had. Interviewer: Do you find that there is any struggle in terms of working with young actors, or in this case, young children who have not actually acted before? Koreeda: Just to clarify, I have worked with children in many of my films, and all of them have never had experienced before. I always go out and pick non-acting children to work in my films, so just, I wanted to put that out there. In terms of the struggle, it does take time. You have to give extra time to work with these children. When I choose these children, I have an audition, and I pick out who I want to the audition, and then when we get to set, I never give them the script. No child that I’ve worked with has been given a script beforehand, and when I get to the actual part where they’re going to be acting, I give them the lines myself, and work with them and coach them. What I find is that it’s actually really enjoyable, both for them and for myself that way. I also, because I’ve been doing this now for several years, I tend to have a fairly high success rate in choosing children that are able to work with me in that way. Interviewer: That’s fascinating, and it also shows how you are able to create such authentic performances from these child actors over and over again in so many of your films. I think it’s a unique gift that you have, and it’s something that very few directors, I think, here in the United States do. Koreeda: It’s true, I guess by working with these children, I learned. I discovered that the best way to do it was just to communicate verbally their lines, rather than giving them in a written format, and over time, this really worked, and so I just kept doing it. But, interestingly, I loved the movie 'Kramer vs Kramer' (1979), directed by Robert Benton, and one time I bought the movie with all the extra, the making of and everything, and I went over it, and I found through that, that in fact, the child in that movie was also given his lines every day by the assistant director each morning when they came in to set, so I discovered that it wasn’t just me that was doing this." (Koreeda's interview with Scott Menzel, We Live Entertainment, 2018)

Sean McVay on what has become non-negotiable when evaluating players: “There are certain things that have to be non-negotiables. What’s your football character like? I think that more than anything, especially because of some of the things I’ve gone through where I look back and say, ‘Man, I did not like the kind of leader or the caliber of person I was. I was fragile. I wasn’t resilient. The game honors toughness, but I think life and the game honor toughness, both mentally and physically. How many different ways can we measure that mental resilience?" "What have they been through, and how did that shape who they’ve become in the midst of the journey?” “When you go through each guy and have a personal message of appreciation and gratitude for him, the consistent theme is that everybody who has had any sort of success has experienced some adversity. Maybe when you’re in it, you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if it shapes you and callouses you the right way, growth demands that discomfort.” “You don’t punish people who haven’t been through adversity, but I also think it’s important for guys to know, ‘We’re in this shit with you, too. Let’s build a relationship.’” “Chris Petersen always used to say to me, ‘It’s really important that all our players know they’ll never meet the enemy on the sideline.’ I’d like to think the connection, the camaraderie and the enjoyment of each other’s success are what you see when you watch our group play. That’s the type of people we’re trying to identify.”

It’s taken me two full days to respond to all my texts. I hadn’t been on social media until today and I’m overwhelmed by all the messages here too. So much love. So I can’t help but to be filled completely with gratitude… My story has been nothing short of remarkable and I am truly blessed to have had such an illustrious, accolade-laden and, most importantly, fun-filled career. I made my childhood dream become the most wonderful reality. Throughout this journey, I’m so thankful to have been surrounded by great friends and to have built so many unbreakable connections with people that I’m very proud to call my family. Most people go through life without ever experiencing a love like I have for Woods and E. That bond alone would have made this whole experience worth it. There are far too many people to mention by name here, but to everyone who has ever supported me, guided me, helped me, taught me, cheered for me, praised me, stood up for me, and even rooted against me: Thank you. I appreciate you more than words can say. My main mission has always been a simple one: To provide a comfortable life filled with heartwarming memories for my family. And, largely in part to all of you, I can proudly say that I have achieved that goal and more. This wasn’t supposed to be a novel, so let me wind it down with some advice: Do your best to live a life without regrets, control what you can control, always give it your all, and fight hard for what you believe in. Do not ever compromise or accept less than your due when it comes to your worth. Find the courage to believe in yourself and fearlessly pursue your goals and dreams, because anything is possible. The kid that was too small, short, skinny, and scrawny was never supposed to make it in this land of giants…yet here we are. And so… …as the sun sets on one chapter, so too must it rise in another. Tomorrow is indeed…a New Day. ☀️
