Hasan reacts to MoistCr1TiKaL's video about the Ethan Klein/iDubbbz lawsuit, thinks Moist would have a different tune if he understood the context of Ethan stalking and harassing iDubbbz and Anisa "What does that have to do with iDubbbz.,where is the genuine proof that there is a network of anonymous accounts that Ethan Klein has targeted and identified as being responsible for calling CPS..I don't think there is any proof..Ethan certainly doesn't have that, idk why he keeps bringing this up as though it has anything to do w iDubbbz" "I 100% disagree..just moral posturing..iDubbbz is not in agreement with the comment whatsoever, I think it's perfectly valid to use such a severely defamatory statement..which ironically enough, Destiny has made about me..cuz he's a psycho..if ur a litigious person, u should apply that litigious nature to the actual offending party" "If Charlie knew half the gross sh*t Ethan mofo Klein has said about Ian and Anisa, I don't think he'd be doing this..Ethan Klein has directly stalked and mass harassed iDubbbz and Anisa for months on end..this litigation is an extension of that project" "Who's the sc*mbag here, is it iDubbbz or is the guy who's been harassing iDubbbz and Anisa for months, come on Charlie..ik everybody f'in hates Ian and myself and Morgan and Kaceytron on the internet but come on dude" "I'm willing to be charitable and assume that it's coming from a place of him not fully researching this stuff..but it seems like he's researched it extensively on one side..even after hearing Ethan's side, he still doesn't side with Ethan..should show u how unbalanced this whole predicament is"

Ethan Klein explains why he's suing iDubbbz and not Destiny "Ian has deeply aligned with the snark community that is basically responsible for and celebrated cps coming to my house..and sending human skulls to my home..on the snark discord..they have on the banner, a skull with cps on the forehead, they love it they're proud of it..iDubbbz aligns with them, shouts them out, calls them great ppl..he's in deep with them" "Even in his follow up to his content cop, he justified it, he said I think it's good CPS was called and investigated that..as someone who's been to Ethan's house" "Basically rebroadcasting this comment uncritically..he emphasizes throughout that he does think it's a serious accusation that needs to be investigated" "Ik ppl are like well why don't sue Destiny..this was a comment made in passing, Ian put it on his screen for 2 hours during his main broadcast..Destiny made it clear that he's not being serious pretty much immediately after writing it..ppl knew Destiny was being a giant f'in pos but he immediately afterwards made it clear that he didn't actually think that" "This was after CPS visited my house..with all the sh*t we been through..I've been through a lot of sh*t w ppl online..this is just unhinged..I said from the beginning that if ppl want to go after my children then the rules of engagement have changed forever" "If somebody u know who's met ur children and family said u m-lestd ur children after CPS has been to ur house..I don't see how u can say that I'm not justified..is that free speech, I don't think so?" "When my children enter the picture..said this back then..bets are off, the rules have changed..I will do everything to ensure that ppl do not talk about my children in this way..that ppl do not celebrate K'ing my children..ppl like Ian retweeting ppl that say they want to K my children which he has done" "I would just want to get this to ppl like Charlie and other commentators who are like this is an attack on free speech, it's not free speech to say that stuff..I'm pretty heavy free speech..but obviously that there's limits" "I literally don't know Destiny..it was a comment in passing he made..clarified that he's kidding..Ian who I know, who's been to my house, met my children, broadcast it over his screen for his whole show..that's kind of the difference between him and Destiny"

G-Dragon opens up about the 2023 drug controversy: “I didn’t want to hold a press conference and ramble on about my position, it was painful, and when I thought of it as just a process, the fact that I had to endure it felt suffocating, I started wondering if making a comeback was really the right thing to do, maybe I should rest more or even retire and just live as a regular person, but honestly I didn’t think there was any real reason to do that, I thought I should just be grateful that it all passed, but I kept thinking if it really passed or if I just forced my way out of it, that thought stayed with me for a few months, the only thing I could really turn to was music, around that time I had already started preparing for the album, and as I wrote based on everything I’d experienced, I ended up choosing POWER as the first track, it felt like a song that said I’ve found my owner.”

⛰️ I think I was standing for almost half of the flight time. Since I’ve just been dancing continuously from when I was young and doing things like that*, my body isn’t really in good condition. But now, since the situation was such that I had to keep going anyway, I told the flight attendant, “I’m sorry, but would it be okay if I stand for a bit?” ⛰️ When I say it like this, it sounds like I’m making a show of it, but I just wanted to tell you how much it meant to me/how sincere I was about it. Really. It’s not like “I did well, praise me.” It’s just that that one stage and you all were so precious to me**, so in my own way I tried saying this. Yes. * i think he meant having a lot of flights, sitting a lot and etc. ** like in that moment, the only things on his mind were how to get there on time for concert and ATINY video cr.

Joe Rogan says he called Theo Von to apologize for his comments last week where he voiced concern for Von’s mental health. Rogan admitted he did a huge “disservice” to Von and it came across as though he was “throwing his friend under the bus.” ROGAN: “Then it comes out, like Theo has to defend it and then I called him up and I said, dude, I’m so sorry.” “I didn’t even think of that, and that’s very selfish of me. I didn’t think that you would have to respond. I didn’t even think of it.” “Theo is one of my favorite people...the last thing I would ever want to do is hurt that guy and the last thing I would ever want to do is say something that would have people think about him in a negative way.” “Which I’m sure I did. This was one of the reasons that I wanted to make this video and I wanted to apologize.” “I felt like a huge disservice to my friend and also to people listening.”

250720 hxw warning busan #우지 #승관 🍑: i also think that was kind of scary scene in that sense. that’s not my intention when i asked, but honestly, i don’t really want to remember myself from my trainee days. i did so many things that were really opposite to my personality. back then, there were things i didn’t learn well, and even if i didn’t want to act like that, there were moments when the environment just forced me to become that way. i’m not the kind of person who usually tells others what to do like, ‘hey, you should do this or that.’ i’m actually similar to hoshi in that i don’t pay much attention to others. whether they do well or not, i just focus on my own thing. but with the younger members, i have to help them do well, so i had to lead with ‘leadership.’ because of that, i ended up acting much stricter than my actual personality. so there are a lot of things i feel really sorry about. and because of that, i think the question itself might’ve been a burden to the younger members… but then, smart sk said such a nice thing. looking back, i think i was really grateful for that at the time.

“He’s not taking it seriously” - tell that to the (much bigger) version of myself that I was a year ago. Listen; I’m just trying to be real. I’m not trying to make excuses, even if I have. This past month was hard for me, especially sharing it the way that I did. But regardless of that I’m not gonna let that low point or anyone on the internet take away from the progress that I’ve made over the YEARS of struggling and learning that I’ve gone through. I will never give up on this journey, I still plan to hit 399 by the end of April; I have a plan, I have a schedule, and I’m going to do my best to follow it. I apologize if this feels like giving attention directly to the negativity, but I felt like these thoughts / this response and the *hope* that I feel right now regarding my journey really need to be shared. I’m PROUD of what I’ve accomplished, even knowing I still have a long ways to go. I see the positive, I promise, and I’m sorry that I can’t always take the time to respond to more messages. #weightlossjourney

American in Illinois explains what it was like leaving the Democrat Party “Explaining to my family and friends that I could not, for the life of me again, vote for a Democratic Party again was probably one of the toughest things I ever had to do. And once I made that statement publicly, like on social media and stuff like that, that's when all hell broke loose — I began to lose clients from my business. I had people calling me up talking about, they can't work with somebody who would vote for a racist or a Nazi. — This is real. But it became a matter of my morals, my values, and what I truly wanted to teach my kids. Like, yes, yes. — So business started failing. Friends who I thought were friends, family members stopped talking to me, started talking about me, and then we started having the problem. I put a Trump sticker on my car. What the hell did I do that for? In the middle of the hood with a Trump sticker — That was brave. But I did it because I gave no f*cks because I know how to fight. And surprisingly for me, more people were interested in my decision why than it was people angry with my decision why. And I began to have the opportunity to explain to people why I was making the decision that I was making and even more surprisingly, it made sense to them too.”

Karina openly apologized and clarified about her jacket and insta post 💙: But recently there was a bit of an issue and bcs of that I started wishing not just for myself but for everyone around me to live peacefully without any trouble. I honestly had no such intention at all so I really wanted to talk about it. And I felt really sorry about that. I just wanted to say that I’m truly sorry for causing concern to our fans and so many others people. I really want to say sorry. I remember going out with the staff on a chilly day, buying an outer layer, posting on social media to communicate with fans and then getting contacted and having to delete it. All of that made me realize how ignorant I was. Even if I was abroad, it was still something I should have known and been aware of. So it really made me feel like I need to be more aware and study these things more deeply. I think it’s true that I was just very ignorant. And in any case, since I’m the one who put the story out there, it’s something I have to take responsibility for. But it was really hard seeing the other members get affected too

Bill Maher on COVID: “[The government] said a lot of things that weren’t true, and they squelched a lot of opinions that turned out to be true. I do like to look back on COVID because I do think that I was kind of right about it. I never wanted that particular vaccine for that particular disease, which I thought my own immune system could handle, and I bet it could.” “I said a million times, another [disease] that could come along, I would fight you for the vaccine… [The Hantavirus] is that one… It’s harder to get, but I hate to tell ya, if you do get it, don’t buy any green bananas.” “You cried wolf with the other one with the masks and the distancing and the pretending that natural immunity didn’t count anymore. All of this bullsh*t.”

Marc Andreessen explains why he prioritizes satisfaction over happiness “I don’t believe in balance. I think people are wired differently so it’s hard to generalize this kind of thing. But I am much happier and more satisfied when I’m fully committed to something. So I’m very much in favor of imbalance.” Marc continues: “I don’t think happiness is the thing to strive for. I think satisfaction is the thing… Satisfaction is a deeper thing which is like having found a purpose and fulfilling it. Being useful. That I’m fully delivering on the gifts that I’ve been given, that I’m net making the world better, that I’m contributing to the people around me, and that I can look back and say: ‘Wow. That was hard, but it was worth it.’ I think that generally seems to lead people to a better state than pursuit of pleasure and happiness.” And on the relationship of money and satisfaction: “I think Elon would be a great example of this. He’s a guy who from the day he started making money at all just plows it into the next thing. I think money is definitely an enabler for satisfaction. Let’s put it this way: money applied to happiness leads people down very dark paths. Very destructive avenues. Money applied to satisfaction, I think is a real tool.” Video source: Lex Fridman (2023)

One of the most powerful moments in this episode. At 28, mark pincus finds himself unemployed (fired by John Malone, Bain, and others), with few prospects. He had big dreams, but the world wasn't cooperating. This is how he turned things around. what "I realized I had nowhere else to fall from this because I just felt like I’d made a lot of bad career decisions and I was washed up early and I just sat there in this temple." It was a good place to sit and think because he didn't know anyone and didn't understand anything. "And I just started writing in a notebook about why my life sucked so badly." This book, a journal he's kept every year that he calls the book of life, allows him to take an accurate accounting of his life and change his mindset through reflection. After writing for hours about how bad his life sucked and all the mistakes he'd made, he focused on one small thing. "I just ended on this one thing: that I smoked cigarettes. I didn’t even smoke smoke. I smoked like one or two a day, a pack a night if I was at a bar on weekends, but I hated it ... I didn’t want to do it, but I kept doing it." He felt like his life was out of control, but this was one thing he could control. "I just was like, if I could do one thing to know that I’m making some positive change in my life, I’m going to quit smoking. So on October 19th, 1994, I did a lifetime quit on cigarettes and then every day for that year after that, that I didn’t smoke, it was something I could feel good about. So I was like, okay, I did something for myself today by not smoking." The wins started to stack. I asked him what he was writing about. What was his process? "At that point, I had no structure or process. I was just writing, and there was so much in me." Was it anger? "It was. I did feel angry and frustrated and I was like, I had all these dreams. I wanted to be an entrepreneur from early on and I was an achiever. I thought I was an achiever, but I was not achieving." He's done the same technique every year: "What it’s done for me and I think it could do for a lot of people is just be strategic about your life, like be thoughtful about, I like to say, what would your future self thank you for doing this year and what wouldn’t?" And that question is the one that really matters. What can you do today that your future self will thank you for? What the book of life did was hold him accountable and force him to make tough decisions that his future self would thank him for.

So I was like, okay, I did something for myself today by not smoking." The wins started to stack. I asked him what he was writing about. What was his process? "At that point, I had no structure or process. I was just writing, and there was so much in me." Was it anger? "It was. I did feel angry and frustrated and I was like, I had all these dreams. I wanted to be an entrepreneur from early on and I was an achiever. I thought I was an achiever, but I was not achieving." He's done the same technique every year: "What it’s done for me and I think it could do for a lot of people is just be strategic about your life, like be thoughtful about, I like to say, what would your future self thank you for doing this year and what wouldn’t?" And that question is the one that really matters. What can you do today that your future self will thank you for? What the book of life did was hold him accountable and force him to make tough decisions that his future self would thank him for.

Marc Andreessen explains why he prioritizes satisfaction over happiness “I don’t believe in balance. I think people are wired differently so it’s hard to generalize this kind of thing. But I am much happier and more satisfied when I’m fully committed to something. So I’m very much in favor of imbalance.” Marc continues: “I don’t think happiness is the thing to strive for. I think satisfaction is the thing… Satisfaction is a deeper thing which is like having found a purpose and fulfilling it. Being useful. That I’m fully delivering on the gifts that I’ve been given, that I’m net making the world better, that I’m contributing to the people around me, and that I can look back and say: ‘Wow. That was hard, but it was worth it.’ I think that generally seems to lead people to a better state than pursuit of pleasure and happiness.” And on the relationship of money and satisfaction: “I think Elon would be a great example of this. He’s a guy who from the day he started making money at all just plows it into the next thing. I think money is definitely an enabler for satisfaction. Let’s put it this way: money applied to happiness leads people down very dark paths. Very destructive avenues. Money applied to satisfaction, I think is a real tool.” Video source: Lex Fridman (2023)

Lady Gaga reflects on her 2016 album, Joanne, and how it’s different from MAYHEM: “I think that was a hard time for some of my fans, because it felt so different from the “me” that they knew. But it felt so needed for me. It was like I just wanted to strip everything away. I just wanted to understand and get much closer to who I was before it all. It’s so interesting because it’s the most stripped-away that people feel that they’ve ever seen me, but I know how far away from me I was. On this record, I’m much more confident and sure of who I am. I also didn’t feel the need to completely reinvent every part of who I am, because I’ve started to become proud of who I am and feeling like I can own my personal approach to pop music, my style, my vision, that these are things that I made that belong to me, and that I don’t have to put so much pressure on myself to be somebody else, to be great.”

"February 7th was a very dark day for me, but it was also one of the most rewarding experiences of my life—it just took a little time to see. I struggled with some mental health issues and contemplated my life because of the mistakes I had made. I’m ashamed to say it, honestly, but it’s a part of what happened. I feel like God came to me in a dream and gave me an out-of-body experience where I could see who I was... I couldn’t even tell you how I said most of the things I said in the past or felt the way I felt back then. It’s almost like that person is gone." Joe Pyfer opens up about his recent struggles.

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

Coco Gauff was asked if smashing her racquet after her loss to Svitolina helps her move on “Is there part of you that thinks it’s healthy to just smash that racquet and get that loss over and done with? Does it help you move on?” Coco: “Yeah, definitely. I think for me, I know myself. I don’t want to lash out on my team. They’re good people. They don’t deserve that. I know I’m emotional. I just took the minute to go and do that. I don’t think it’s a bad thing. I don’t try to do it on court in front of kids and things like that. But I do know I need to let out that emotion.. otherwise I’m just gonna be snappy with the people around me. I don’t want to do that. Like I said they don’t deserve it. They did their best. I did mine. Just need to let the frustration out.” (via Australian Open Press)

🐿️ There was one situation once. It was during our third promotion. At that time, I was roommates with Seonghwa. So, I washed up as usual and came out to the completely quiet dorm, like everyone disappeared. I thought, “What’s going on?” Then suddenly Seonghwa came over to my room and said, “Hongjoong, come here for a second. The guys said they have something to tell you.” I was like, “Huh? What’s this about?” So I went, thinking, “What is this… ugh, we have a schedule tomorrow too.” I kind of got myself ready and opened the door - and all seven of them were sitting there with serious faces, like they were in tears but also trying to hold it in. For a second, I thought it was like a surprise birthday party. It really felt like that at first. But then I saw their expressions - they looked really upset. So I asked, “What’s going on?” And they said, “It’s frustrating. Hyungie, you’ve been acting too much like this, and it’s making things hard. You don’t need to promote or push things that much, honestly.” As the conversation went on, from what I remember, one of them even teared up and said, “But hyung, if you go this far, it’s really hard for us. It’s too much. We have promotions coming up - please ease up a little.” And when I saw that tear, I thought, “No… this isn’t right. I can’t let this go on.” I admitted my mistake and immediately apologised quickly and said “I’ll try to do better from tomorrow”.
