Sharing for Emmie. What a beautiful dog . The ending is so heartbreaking. It’s a little longer but worth it. “…….on January 22, 2026, our 7 year old golden retriever with terminal cancer woke up and couldn't walk. After bringing her to the vet, we got the call that she wouldn't live to see the next morning and at best, we had hours. There was so much pressure to determine how we would spend these last hours. Perry's Steak House in Short Pump, Virginia invited Emmie to dinner for her last meal and an incredible experience. She had a line of people to pet her and love on her from employees to strangers and even the head chef. She ate the best food one could eat like steak, her very own custom cake, a bone and even chocolate that was flombayed in front of her. She had her own sparkling water, server and a beautiful spot by the fire. She enjoyed a stunning sunset, a brand new bed and blanket that they allowed us to bring in. She had an honor walk through the restaurant. The last time she walked on this earth. This was beyond what we ever could have imagined. The reservation was even under her name. Instead of tears, staring at her just waiting for her to pass, her last hours were spent happy, joyful and with so much love. We are grateful to the staff and management at Perry's for not only providing these memories for us but for putting it together so last minute and being beyond incredibly patient with all of our needs as Emmie continued to decline even within just the small amount of time that we were there. We will treasure these last moments that we were given and remember them with joy in our hearts. Just 40 minutes after we left the restaurant, Emmie passed peacefully at home surrounded by her family and her favorite cat. Our hearts are shattered into a million pieces, but we simultaneously feel immense peace and gratefulness in our hearts that her last moments were given to her and our family like this. Thank you Perry's for giving our girl the sweetest most special send off to heaven.” This is the second time I’ve heard of Perry’s Steakhouse doing this. What a special restaurant and group of people that work there. You are a beautiful dog Emmie. God bless that family. I hope I can give my dogs the same kind of last hours and day. 💔

Brie Wolfson (Brie Wolfson) launched Stripe Press after being incepted by Patrick Collison. It's one of a career's worth of things that seem little and zig-zaggy at the time that you might only say yes to in the first place if you're comfortable in Flounder Mode. Brie coined the term after spending a day with Kevin Kelly and writing a phenomenal, personal, and original profile on him. The profile is as much about Kevin's impact on Brie as it as about Kevin himself, which is a fitting way to profile someone whose work has touched so many careers. Flounder Mode is a way of building a career by following your curiosity. It's winding, weird, and often illegible. I know something about this - I've been in Flounder Mode without having the words for it before reading Brie's essay. We talk all about Flounder Mode - why it feels uncomfortable, whether you can ever get over that feeling, and how to do it well - in our conversation. We also talk about how Brie wrote such a beautiful and different piece. A lot of nitty gritty on writing and creating a very personal career. One of the fun things about Flounder Mode is that I get to have conversations with people I've long admired from afar, like Brie. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Why the 1970s Way of Eating Hit Different – And Why I Can’t Stop Thinking About It I ran across this TikTok video the other day and it genuinely stopped me in my tracks. It was all about how Americans in the 1970s stayed naturally thinner—not because of better genetics or iron willpower, but because the whole food environment was completely different. Meals had real boundaries. You ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner at set times, and that was pretty much it. Snacking wasn’t the constant background noise it is today. As someone who actually grew up in that era, it rang so true. We didn’t have endless cabinets full of brightly packaged snacks calling our names. You ate when it was mealtime, portions were reasonable (a hamburger was hamburger-sized, fries came in actual small bags), and the kitchen pretty much closed after dinner cleanup. No grazing all day long, no supersized everything, no ultra-processed options lurking everywhere. Meals were smaller, more proportionate, and made from basic ingredients—fresh or simply prepared. It made me reflect: maybe we really do need to borrow a page from the 70s playbook. Go back to eating at specific times instead of all-day snacking. Choose normal, human-sized portions instead of the inflated ones we’ve gotten used to. Cut way back on the junk and focus on real food again. It felt healthier, more balanced, and honestly more sustainable than the constant diet culture we live in now. That video stuck with me because it wasn’t about shaming anyone—it was about remembering a simpler, more natural way of relating to food. I’m inspired to try bringing more of that 70s rhythm into my own life. Clear meal times, smaller plates, fewer processed snacks. It might just be the reset a lot of us need. Who else remembers eating this way and feels like it’s time to bring it back?

mgk on his upcoming 2026 rap album: "I have the sickest name for the rap album." "The main thing is that we want and need these songs to pop. ‘FIX UR FACE’ gotta pop." "I'm trying to be really smart with this because I know what album I want to make after the rap album, and it's a much, much, much different vibe than the rap album, but this one is so important to the arc of what we've done." "This sh- that's happening right here, if you're a fan and have been a fan for a long time, this is like, my gift to us that's about to happen" "A lot of the last projects were rooted in love. This one is kind of like reclaiming love for self being like, 'Nah, dude. I'm me, and I'm fully okay with that. I don't need anyone's approval.'" "A lot of these songs [from the lost americana album], this will be the last time you hear them on a set list for a while because everything's gonna change a lot when all this new music comes out" "I would compare it to absolutely none. This sh- has none of the DNA of any of those other [mgk] albums" "This one that's coming up is gonna be one of the most if not the most substantial on my career outside of Tickets to My Downfall. So I think I just wanted to spend a moment, reflecting on the journey that got us here, which was also what lost americana repped." 🎥 Full video of mgk's Discord Q&A session: #mgk #machinegunkelly #colsonbaker machine gun kelly #lostamericanatour

#SEONGHWA talking about watching his favorite musical, Les Misérables., for the first time in a theater in London! ⭐️: Anyway, as for what I did today, I’m talking in circles (not answering). Today… so yesterday after dinner I saw they were performing a musical. I’ve seen a lot of small‑theater musicals but I’ve never seen a really big musical live, like in person. So… and they happened to be performing my favorite! What could it be~? Oh, someone got it right. It's Les Misérables. When did it come out? I was in wlementary school? Wait, when did Les Misérables come out in Korea? When it first released I went to see it with my mom, just the two of us. (After researching it) Here it says it came out in 2012. Then how old was I? Was I in middle school? Yes, right. I went to see it with my mom, the two of us, and it was so fun. I think it was the first musical film I properly watched in a theater. Before that I watched Mamma Mia on DVD when I was in Australia, but I couldn’t understand it then so I didn’t know what was fun about it. Les Mis was the first musical film I properly saw in a theater. I loved it so much that I went to see it three or four more times. And then yesterday, when I came out after eating, I saw this huge billboard for it. So, since I’m the type who acts fast once I decide, I said “I’m going to watch it today,” and went with my manager. There were real session musicians there, like down below. I was shocked by that. From above, like slightly, youu could see the conductor. I didn’t know that, I thought they played MR... So I was like, “this is awesome.” I went and bought merch too. But I didn’t know which seats were good, so I just chose the seat in the back of the first floor. But because there’s a second floor, my view was blocked, my view of the stage looked like this (obstructed from the bottom and above), so I watched slouching on my chair like this. Now I know, the front row of the second floor is the best. Or the very front of the first floor so you can see the actors’ expressions well. But movies are better from the back so (I though was the same for musicals). Anyway. Yes, I think it was a “restricted view” seat... it was probably cheaper. Anyway, the show was 2 hours 50 minutes and since I know the movie so well I understood everything even without subtitles. It was so fun. I knew most of the songs too. It was my first time seeing a musical in such a big venue so it was really great. The actors too were amazing. There were about 40? And the set, there were at least 10 different ones. I don’t know how it works, because it’s was not people moving/changing sets. They just slid in and out and the stage transitions were so smooth. Who’s my favorite character? Oh, that's a hard question? First, I like Marius. Ah, actualyy, when I was younger I liked Cosette and Marius. But now I feel drawn to Éponine. Because she loves so... unconditionally. After watching it today, Éponine loves Marius but even while she’s in a one‑sided love, she tells him where the girl he loves lives and helps him escape. That's so sad. Fantine was really pitiful too. Kind of... unfairly treated? My favorite song is One Day More, of course. And today, there were songs that felt different listening now that I’m older. I don't know the titles so I’ll have to look them up. The lingering feeling was strong, it felt similar to when I first watched it. And after that act (One Day More), the audience clapped and cheered so loudly. You know, I thought musicals were supposed to be quiet? But everyone was cheering so loudly, so I clapped and shouted too. And right after it ended the lights suddenly turned on and I was like, "is it over?" but it was the intermission. There were Act 1 and Act 2. I was so confused, I really thought it was over. I asked myself, “Is this a half‑length movie?" I mean, "musical?” Everyone got up so naturally and I was just confused alone. Anyway, the orchestra was seriously so cool. I want to see it in Korea too.

#SEONGHWA about making memories in Europe 🥹 ⭐️: The UK is much nicer than I thought. My memories of this country were usually just from coming here on tour but the more I come, the more my memories seem to get nicer. Same with Paris, same with the UK and well, Spain too. Probably it’s like that for all countries, really. Anyway, maybe it’s because I’m getting familiar with them. I’m turning each one into a good memory. Ease? Maybe I’ve gained some ease too. When I first went to Paris I wasn’t feeling well physically so I couldn’t go see things. But as time passed, like, on the last night (this time) I saw the Eiffel Tower and even though I’ve seen it many times, I realized it feels different every time I come. During this Paris schedule, the time I saw the Eiffel Tower was my favorite I think. It was the most romantic. Strangely, “I really want to go see the Eiffel Tower.” This thought came to me. Strangely. I felt like I had to go see it. Of course, taking photos there can be risky but I just really wanted to take photos at the Eiffel Tower. So after meeting Mingi and Jongho, I rushed there, saw it, and at exactly midnight it sparkles like this, you know? I saw that too. And this time in London too, I watched a really fun musical and at a big festival, as a headliner, I performed in a cool way. I like it. I really like it. #SEONGHWA #성화

For those who don't know, the reason I haven't been on this platform as much as I would like to be, is that I learned last summer my DoD contractor job might have to reduce their staffing and I knew I was going to need to find another way to support myself to be able to pay my mortgage and my monthly bills. I prayed God would guide me to wherever He knew I would thrive. Never in a million years did I think it would be in a direct sales company, because I had previously failed in that channel. When my friend and fellow truther/researcher, Debbie Boyd, told me she was going to partner with a health and wellness company that specializes in naturopathic doctor-develped, science-backed, products, I thought, "Seriously, God?? That's where you want me to go??" But deep down I knew if Debbie was going to start all over with a team of ONE last July, after having achieved the top levels of success in our last partnership (while I watched from the sidelines), she was leaving behind a company that tried to cancel her, tried to get her to delete her truthful posts about the clot shots and other topics, and they even went WOKE with DEI policies, it only made sense to me that God was telling me "This time will be different."...and it IS!! This is a Godly, family-owned business that started just 4 years ago, has zero debt, is the 2nd highest ranked in momentum/growth, has a AAA rating and surpassed $50M in their 4th year. My health, energy levels, mood, focus, weight, sleep, AND my finances* have improved immensely. I'm in a size 4 for the first time since 2002, when I was pregnant with my son and I have NEVER felt better! I'm sitting in the airport right awaiting my flight home after spending the last 3 days at my first Bravenly Conference reflecting on how much has changed for me since I listened to what I know in my heart God led me to on 21 July 2024. Let me tell you, I have NEVER experienced an event like this, and I've been to several conferences and conventions, both corporate and political in nature (including CPAC!). The inspirational and motivational stories, the awesome tips for growing our businesses from all the speakers, including my amazing team leader, Debbie Boyd (who was recognized multiple times), and our upline leaders, the heartwarming stories of overcoming adversity and trusting God to lead the way, the camaraderie with my fellow Brand Partners, seeing how Bravenly went out of their way to make sure we know they SEE us where we are, (this year's theme is "Come as you are"), all the recognition during Saturday night's Red Carpet Awards night, and most importantly, yesterday morning's Sunday service, led by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and pastor, Chandon Bangar and Adrienne Whatley (who happens to be this year's #1 income earner for 2024)! Several people even made the decision to trust Jesus as their Lord & Savior at the end of the service! Praise the Lord! 🙌 What a powerful, meaningful, impactful event this has been! I feel sooo blessed to be a part of this Godly, faith-based company! There was such a wide range of emotions over the past 3 days at Bravenly Conference 2025...from feeling beyond blessed and inspired, moved to tears, filled with joy, gratitude, hope, belief, determination, and so much more. I have no doubt God led me here...and the best is yet to come, indeed! 🙌❤️🙏 *Details about earning potential can be found here:

The inspirational and motivational stories, the awesome tips for growing our businesses from all the speakers, including my amazing team leader, Debbie Boyd (who was recognized multiple times), and our upline leaders, the heartwarming stories of overcoming adversity and trusting God to lead the way, the camaraderie with my fellow Brand Partners, seeing how Bravenly went out of their way to make sure we know they SEE us where we are, (this year's theme is "Come as you are"), all the recognition during Saturday night's Red Carpet Awards night, and most importantly, yesterday morning's Sunday service, led by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and pastor, Chandon Bangar and Adrienne Whatley (who happens to be this year's #1 income earner for 2024)! Several people even made the decision to trust Jesus as their Lord & Savior at the end of the service! Praise the Lord! 🙌 What a powerful, meaningful, impactful event this has been! I feel sooo blessed to be a part of this Godly, faith-based company! There was such a wide range of emotions over the past 3 days at Bravenly Conference 2025...from feeling beyond blessed and inspired, moved to tears, filled with joy, gratitude, hope, belief, determination, and so much more. I have no doubt God led me here...and the best is yet to come, indeed! 🙌❤️🙏 *Details about earning potential can be found here:

[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

Pressing, transitions and goals in Canada! After the hiring of Jesse Marsch this week by Canada Soccer , there has been lots of talk about pressing and transitions in the football community. This is THE style of play that we have used for the last 5 years with Alliance United FC in @L1OMens and will give you some insight in how this can look. We went away from the 'possession' based 1-4-3-3 that everyone has been using as the 'best way' to develop players and win games. Many say this is the 'right way' of playing. However, we use the players' abilities and inabilities as the starting point and based on players produced in Canada, within our youth system, this is the way we think will get us the best results and help our players get to the next level. You need to understand youth development in our country to understand what is and what is not being taught to young players. This is not a negative outlook, it is just looking at the reality. Many mistake this style of play as just non-stop pressing and chaos. Yes, these two aspects are important but it is a much more deliberate and planned way of playing that is used to predict where the opposition will play the ball, where the ball can be dictated and what areas the opposition leave open for transitions when they attack. In 2019, I was introduced to Ernst Tanner former Academy Director of Red Bull Salzburg and current Philadelphia Union Sporting Director that has led the club to being one of the top clubs in MLS and arguably the best academies in North America the last few years. Both organisations are known for their pressing and fast transitions in addition to producing top players. He became a mentor to me and gave me insights and education on this style of play. He has changed the way I look at football. Every season we try to recruit players that can play this style that I will describe below and we do not waiver in the way we played. Every game since 2019 Alliance United FC have played either in a 1-4-2-2-2 or a 1-4-4-2 midfield diamond....every game. We have no secrets in how we play. We focus on defending, pressing, forcing teams into mistakes and transition football. It is important to understand that we do not care how much possession we have and we actually want the opposition to have the ball most of the time. Stats in football show that only when a team has the ball 70% or more in a match their is a correlation to winning. Anything less is not correlated to winning in a certain match. In addition, 80% of goals are scored under 5 passes or less and under 10 seconds when regaining possession. We follow the trend! So, here are some important points based on the video: a) Pressing higher up the pitch when possible. All 11 players are committed to the team intention (principles) and if anybody is not committed and does not contribute to this style of play, they do not play. There is no leeway on this. Either you are in 100% in or you are not. All it takes is one player to not commit and the plan will not work. If we do not win the ball on the high press, everyone is to drop behind the ball as fast as possible to restart the press closer to our goal. b) Based on the opponent's scouting we press certain players and decide if will press closer to the sideline and 'pin' the player to the sideline or we dictate the passes and dribbles centrally and 'surround' the player to win the ball in central positions. We also decide if we will sometimes drop lower for the opposition to advance so we can play behind them when winning the ball. This is done if we scout that the opposition centre-backs are slower than our two strikers. This means we will 'outrun' them in the space they leave behind. c) When winning the ball we want to exploit space behind their backline as the priority which means that a player(s) need to be passing options behind the backline and preferably centrally which is closer to the goal, players winning the ball has to look to play the ball to the player furthest up the pitch. Possession is not a priority but scoring goals as fast as possible is. d) When winning the ball we stay as central as possible with passes and dribbling. We use the width of the penalty area (44 yards) as the preferable dimension when transitioning. We want to stay within this width. The wider the team plays the ball, the more time the opposition has to block the middle. PLAY AS VERTICALLY AS POSSIBLE! The emphasis is to get the ball to the two strikers and play 1v1 against the CBs. e) We know that most youth players grow up playing against a 1-4-3-3 which means there is one central striker meaning the centre-backs one back press and one can cover. Against 2 strikers this is not possible and many centre-backs do not have the ability to play 1v1 with space behind them. They are not taught the cues to step and press or drop to protect space behind them. They are never taught at youth level. We exploit this deficiency. e) All 11 players must get up the pitch to close the spaces if we lose the ball from our attacking transition so the opposition cannot transition against us and we can counter-press. f) A goal is the best outcome based on the objective of attacking but at the minimum we want to get a shot on goal from a transition. This is a quick overview of a different way of playing football that Canada will see with the Men's National Team.

WATCH: It took the sexting allegations for the Sunday shows to finally cover Herr Oystergruppenführer Graham Platner. This exchange between CNN's Dana Bash shows why. Bash takes three passes at the allegations, with Kim dodging all. Finally, Bash asks about the Nazi tattoo, likely the first time an elected Dem has been asked. Kim again dodges, comparing Platner's Totenkopf tat to Bob Menendez' gold bricks. DANA BASH: I want to ask you about the Senate race in Maine, and the Wall Street Journal and New York Times reporting that last August, Democrat Graham Platner wife told his campaign about sexual text messages she had found between her husband and other women early in their marriage, and they were married in 2023. The Times says Platner exchanged messages with as many as a dozen women, and his campaign said no, It was up to six. In a statement, Platner's wife said she feels betrayed by the ex-campaign aide, who revealed the information, and that the couple went to counseling. Do you have concerns about Graham Platner? ANDY KIM: Well, first I'll say is, you know, I've been very much focused on the crisis in my home state, so I haven't been able to focus as much on this. But right now, you know, this information is out there with any campaign in the country. You know, the character and the transparency about the different candidates is going to come out. That's part of a campaign. And the voters will decide what it is that they ultimately think in terms of their ability to trust those candidates. BASH: What do you think? KIM: Well, look, right now for me, like I have not met him. I've never talked to him yet. But what I am- what I do hear from people in New Jersey around the country is that they don't trust this U.S. Senate right now, led by the Republicans as we are about to go back into session this coming week, and what they are pushing on is, you know, 60 to $70 billion more for ICE, for CBP, for immigration. They want that stopped. BASH: So do what it takes to elect Democrats, regardless of questions like this? KIM: From my standpoint, you know, I will work with whoever the people of Maine elect, but I hope that they elect somebody that is going to stand up to this president, work with me to be able to fight back against all these dangers. BASH: Yeah. One of your fellow Democrats, Jake Auchincloss, said that because of other red flags, including the fact that Platner had a tattoo with Nazi origins that he later covered up after that came out, Auchincloss said that Platner’s tattoo and his commentary about it were disqualifying. Do you agree? KIM: Well, look, like I said, this is up for the voters of Maine. You know, in New Jersey, I stood up against my previous senator who was indicted for corruption. I felt like that was something where we had to draw a line, you know, and we will make these decisions as they come. But again, I think right now, what I'm overwhelmingly hearing from people is that they are terrified about the trajectory of this country, that so much is at stake, especially as a senate majority that could very well put 1 or 2 more Supreme Court justices into the Supreme Court under for Donald Trump, these are real concerns, and I think there needs to be unity that we need to make sure we're focused on the change that the American people are demanding. BASH: Senator Andy Kim, thank you so much for being here. KIM: Thank you so much. BASH: We really appreciate it.

But again, I think right now, what I'm overwhelmingly hearing from people is that they are terrified about the trajectory of this country, that so much is at stake, especially as a senate majority that could very well put 1 or 2 more Supreme Court justices into the Supreme Court under for Donald Trump, these are real concerns, and I think there needs to be unity that we need to make sure we're focused on the change that the American people are demanding. BASH: Senator Andy Kim, thank you so much for being here. KIM: Thank you so much. BASH: We really appreciate it.

Stargate Trivia: Window of Opportunity We had no idea this episode would become so beloved by fandom and yet, looking back, it’s easy to see why it has. It’s one of those "fun" episodes with a fairly straightforward premise that allows our characters to shine in ways unexpected. Specifically, Jack and Teal’c who, in the past, have relied on Carter and Daniel to handle the science and Ancient translations, and suddenly find themselves having to step into their team members’ shoes. Yes, it’s our version of Groundhog Day. And yet, in its earliest form, the pitch for this story was very different, much darker in tone. Originally titled Ad Infinitum, it involved the team gating to a planet and becoming trapped in a seemingly endless time loop orchestrated by a dying race seeking to buy more time to come up with a solution to an impending armageddon (which became the backstory of the device’s genesis mentioned in the episode by Malakai). Exec Producer Robert Cooper suggested another spin on the time loop angle and, while I was dubious at first (“Isn’t this Groundhog Day?”I remember asking. “Yeah,”was Rob’s counter.), I was proven wrong. Now, the “Groundhog Day” episode has become a staple of most every genre show. While there’s a lot to like about this episode, it was the “time off” montage that stands out. And it almost didn’t happen. The episode was timing short, it was clear we would need to come up with some extra scenes, and that gave Brad the opportunity to do something he had always wanted to do: see our characters golfing through the stargate. And so, several scenes were added (they were all scripted, not improvised as some fans assumed): the juggling, Teal’c’s repeated door run-in, Jack riding his bike through the corridors of the SGC, Jack trying his hand at pottery, the golfing through the gate and, oh yes, THE KISS. The latter was my former writing partner Paul Mullie's idea - in his pitch, an opportunity we could not pass up. Note: We made sure to have Jack tender his official resignation before dipping Carter and planting one on her, just to make sure we didn’t catch any flak from our Air Force tech advisors. Last year, I came across a bunch of old VHS dailies from this episode and, after having the footage converted to digital files, I uploaded a bunch of the more memorable outtakes and alt. takes. In case you missed them the first time, here are a bunch of them in one dedicated thread… Stargate - Window of Opportunity Alt. Takes and Outtakes 1/10

The Sanctity of Life — Primary all the RINOs! Not a single word was written or prepared for this speech. A man came up to me immediately after this in tears as I was getting a club soda from the bar. I had no idea this speech and the MNGOP convention, would reveal so much about our party. Both good and bad, both inspiring and horrifying! I always go into convention hoping for the best because the people ultimately get to choose and that I see as a blessing for which we should be grateful. Often the deck is stacked and yesterday was no different. From changing the predetermined speaking order, or not getting the correct time limit for my speech, to having the nominations committee announce a reservation against me to the delegates that I WASN'T abiding by the endorsement. Which was a complete lie, I've been pledged to abide by the endorsement for the last 2 cycles since 2024, including my signed pledge for this 2026 cycle. In fact is was the MNGOP establishment that didn't abide by the endorsement and even spent party money to pay a man (Michael Brodkorb), who endorsed Kamala Harris, to trash me after I was endorsed and nominated. Not a very Republican Party! What was the most shocking though, is that so many delegates voted for Tafoya, who openly refused to abide. About 1/3 if you trust the clickers. Which as an aside WERE A COMPLETE MESS... Imagine a party that wants secure paper ballots but uses electronic clickers at our own convention. Long time MNGOP activist and House Rep. Walter Hudson stood up and pointed out some irregularities before the endorsement began. Aside from all that I was mortified to discover many, too many, delegates actually believe it appropriate to waver on our conservative and Christian principles to "win" the election. By 1/3 endorsing Michele Tafoya, they sent a message loud and clear, the ability to raise money (PAC money), popularity or "moderation" to win, supersedes our value on the sanctity of life. On protecting the unborn. In doing so they have declared war on our faith and a pillar of the Christian conservative movement. We have no more back steps to take. Christians have been pushed to the cliff's edge in this country and all around the world. Attacks from the same people who want to destroy this nation. It is time to rededicate this country and nation to God, but it can't just be symbolic or something to piss off liberals. We have to mean it and if we don't start with the unborn we will be undone. I will stand up and set the standard. As for our Navy man Adam Schwarze, who eventually was endorsed on the 6th or 7th ballot... He doesn't currently have his Trident, and that wasn't mentioned as a "reservation" by the nominations committee. He was simply deem "qualified". The trident is between him and the Navy. For me, if you publicly laugh, about killing thousands of people including women and children, or dropping white phosphorus on them... You too have a problem with the sanctity of life. We may have to fight a war, we are currently in a war around the world and here at home. We may have to kill, we may even have to kill women and children unfortunately, which I hesitate to even say... But never, under any circumstances, should we laugh about it. It's a lack of maturity, seriousness and sacred honor. In this election, it's going to prove to be a lack of "electability". As for the revenge of these RINOs, this has been coming full tilt since the moment I won back in 2024. When I said I won't take a single back step, I'm starting with you capitulators, collaborators, traitors. See you in the primary! I now return the favor you granted me and workaround you were willing to grant Michele Tafoya. Do Minnesota Republicans statewide value the sanctity of life? How much do we have to lose to realize a country without God cannot survive. Our nation without God does not work... REFERENDUM! Enough is enough, Christ Is King!

My son and I went to the gym late last night to work out some stuff after 3 HS games worth of not hitting the way that he wanted. The session had both a data component and a feel / cue component. As a 17 year old who now has high 60's / low to mid 70's bat speed he has struggled in the last week - specifically against low velocity pitching - to let the ball travel deep enough to get good flush contact. Point being that we had a specific thing to work on. So on the technology side we're using Blast to bat speed, attack angle and VBA, and we're using HitTrax to monitor contact depth in addition to the outcome stuff - exit velocity, launch angle, distance and direction. We also were using two different pitching machines - one offset to the left side, the other offset to the right side. In terms of cues what we ended up with was: - As deep as possible while still being on time - High pitch posture, flat bat path and adjust off if needed But along the way we tried all sorts of stuff - everything from trying to hit a ball to the hot dog cart in oppo foul territory off the left hand off-set machine to trying to find middle of the field ball flight from the right hand offset machine to just going pure let it eat anywhere ball flight off of either machine to score a runner on 2B. In my mind, the best instruction environment for hitting is just a conversation that revolves around: - What were we trying to do vs what did we actually do - What signal can we get about why we did what we did - What adjustments do we need to make to bring our results closer to the intended outcome on the next swing But if the instructor and the player don't even speak the same language...man that conversation is going to be pretty limited in its effectiveness. Because he's 17 we're now able to have these kinds of conversations - with all of these various layers. But the critically important part of the whole thing is that this is an actual two way conversation. Meaning that he's telling me how he feels, we're looking at the data to correlate the feeling to the outcome, we decide on how or if we need to adjust intention for the next swing and we just wash, rinse and repeat that same cycle over and over and over. I wouldn't - and I didn't - coach him this way when he was 12. We used the same tech stack, but the data we paid attention to was a lot more limited. Because that was the level of depth he was able to have a productive conversation about at that time. I'm also exceptionally fortunate that at 17 years old he's still playing and I still get to have these conversations with him.

(Very long post) Thoughts on Marvel Rivals release day Tldr; Rivals is fucking awesome. 1. Six and a half hours of playtime and I had ONE game server fail to load. No game crashes, no server overloads, no queue times, and one single solitary FPS drop. 2. The monetization is the most consumer-friendly system I’ve seen from a game in a very, VERY long time. A $5 battlepass that you can continue to redeem rewards from even after the end of the season? A 1:1 exchange rate of base to premium currency? No character/map paywalls? That’s absolutely WILD to me. 3. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had trouble getting off of my PC because I find myself saying, “just one more game” over and over again. Actually, yes I can - it was the alpha and beta tests. I cannot get enough of this game. 4. Every character has such a fun learning curve, I’ve never been a DPS main in any game. Ever. But I find myself freely swapping between DPS and support because the mechanics are just so damn clean and everything is fluid; I’ve yet to play a character I didn’t love. Movement is incredibly fun, especially in third person. Which brings me to: 5. I have always hated third person games, especially shooters. I don’t know what it is, but something about the way Rivals implemented it works insanely well. Corner peeking adds so much versatility your play style and I’m absolutely loving it. 6. TEAM PLAY AND SYNERGY IS ENCOURAGED!! That right there is EXACTLY what Overwatch has been missing. We lost so much of that when we did away with double tanks and the game went from a team based FPS to a tank v tank boss raid. Rivals has gone the opposite direction by implementing team-ups that will change every season to keep metas fresh. 7. TTK feels GREAT and I actually have a big impact in every team fight. That kind of player agency is something that’s also been missing from Overwatch for a long time. 8. Nerf Iron Fist.

“What Everyone is Missing From the Blue Square Campaign Commercial?” When I first watched this commercial I was annoyed. “Oh great, another example of wasted Jewish philanthropy and off-target Jewish activism.” But then I took a breather (shocker for me), and remembered several things: 1) This is Robert Kraft’s money and he can do whatever the hell he wants with it 2) The Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (later named FCAS and now the Blue Square Campaign) has a heart that is in the right place. They helped me pull off an all-day event at Gillette Stadium two years ago to teach Jewish and Israeli-American students how to use social media to combat antisemitism… and everyone loved the event. 3) This is MUCH better than their commercial featuring Louis Farrakhan acolyte Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady talking vaguely about “stopping hate” without ever naming antisemitism or Jewish hate—corporate mush that drew backlash for dodging the point and leaning on celebrity optics over substance. So, I watched the commercial again. And holy shit! I missed something… That Jewish student was ready to throw hands. He was ready for a fight. He wanted the fight. It just wasn’t the right place. Look at that Jewish student! He’s not just ready for the fight; he’s literally walking into it until he gets stopped—striding through the hallway, shoulders squared, chin up, taking the jostles and whispers without flinching or retreating, heading straight toward his locker like he's owning the space despite the bullshit swirling around him. I think we combat Jew Hatred by making Jews strong. By making us undeniable. By instilling in Jews the pride to respond like the badass Jews and Americans that we are. This commercial agrees with that sentiment. This isn’t a weak Jew shying away from a fight. It’s the opposite. And while statistically speaking the student who stops him—and has his back—is from a group that tends to be over represented in engaging in antisemitism, that student (“Bilal”) wasn’t. He was helping. And he didn’t help because the Jewish student asked for it, but because it was the right thing to do. There was no pleading for help from the Jewish student. There was no groveling. And there wasn’t even a sign that the student couldn’t take the hate. Nah. He stood in the pocket, ready for the fight. That’s a message I’m down with. That’s a message I can get behind. American Jews are done with the bullshit and we’re ready for the fight. Allies or not, we’re ready for the fight. Would I rather the Blue Square have a commercial about the Israeli bobsled team and pilot AJ Edelman, OLY wrapping tefillin after a $40k donation from Robert Kraft? Of course!!! But is this message better than last year’s? Does it show an American Jew ready to rock? Yeah. It does. So I get all the critiques, and even agree with them. But don’t sleep on the subliminal message. Sure, unity is great, but if you’re an American Jew—and especially if you’re an American Jewish student—be ready. Be ready to fight. The time is now. Just pick your spots.

This is the pen of Leah, the morning after her first night's sleep here. Every black dot you see is a tick. They are black because they're full of her blood, and growing. (This is one of the reasons why I have only white bedding and floor coverings. If she was in newspaper you'd never see this). Poor little Leah is absolutely smothered in hundreds of ticks, and has fleas, too. Despite the old wives' tale, it's very rare for a hedgehog to have fleas. So rare in fact, that a professor of entomology who studies these sorts of things pays me £20 a go when I send him fleas. Additionally, hedgehog fleas are species-specific, so they can't infest or live on any other animal. A hedgehog has to be seriously ill or incredibly weak to attract ectoparasites such as ticks and fleas. And poor Leah is that weak - she is suffering from starvation, AND she has just given birth. A couple clearing out their shed found poor little Leah huddled with her babies in a pile of blankets, where she'd given birth. They live in army barracks, and their garden is tiny, with no suitable hedgehog habitat. Everywhere is kept 'neat'. Despite this, somehow Leah survived. With a shed substituting for a hedgerow and army blankets instead of leaves and moss, Leah managed to make a maternity nest and have her precious babies. But with no food, she was unable to produce enough milk to feed them, and one by one, the babies died. By the time she was found, out of the 7 babies she had given birth to, only 3 were still alive. I saw the bodies so could tell how many days they had survived. The lovely finders had no idea that things were so desperate for our hedgehogs, and that the dramatic decline in insects, due to the way we are 'tidying' our gardens, meant that they are now suffering starvation. Hedgehogs don't eat slugs and snails, they eat beetles and catapillars. Caterpillars make up almost half a hedgehog's diet, and their emergence is perfectly timed with peak baby season, the time of most need. We're in June, peak butterfly time, but how many have you seen lately? Like most people, the finders were completely unaware of how our bad destructive habits are impacting our precious wildlife, until seeing it with their own eyes. They are now committed to improving not just their garden, but the whole Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, and went home armed with leaflets and kitten biscuits and determination. Meanwhile poor tick infested Leah and her 3 surviving babies are safe and warm here, and she's getting good nourishment and care. It's so important these tiny 5 day old babies don't fall victim to the ticks, as they would not survive. I can't use drugs or chemicals as Leah is far too weak and her babies far too vulnerable. So it's just a matter of cleaning her out every day - the very last thing to be subjecting a new mum to. Despite all her hardship, and me meddling, she's a wonderful mum and doing her best to nurture her sweet babies. Last night, her first night here, she ate an entire dish of special Mother and Baby food - enough normally for 2 or 3 hedgehogs. The sight of that empty dish absolutely broke me. It's too early for a prognosis on Leah and the babies, but already, because of them, her little part of the world is going to become more hedgehog-friendly.

The lovely finders had no idea that things were so desperate for our hedgehogs, and that the dramatic decline in insects, due to the way we are 'tidying' our gardens, meant that they are now suffering starvation. Hedgehogs don't eat slugs and snails, they eat beetles and catapillars. Caterpillars make up almost half a hedgehog's diet, and their emergence is perfectly timed with peak baby season, the time of most need. We're in June, peak butterfly time, but how many have you seen lately? Like most people, the finders were completely unaware of how our bad destructive habits are impacting our precious wildlife, until seeing it with their own eyes. They are now committed to improving not just their garden, but the whole Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, and went home armed with leaflets and kitten biscuits and determination. Meanwhile poor tick infested Leah and her 3 surviving babies are safe and warm here, and she's getting good nourishment and care. It's so important these tiny 5 day old babies don't fall victim to the ticks, as they would not survive. I can't use drugs or chemicals as Leah is far too weak and her babies far too vulnerable. So it's just a matter of cleaning her out every day - the very last thing to be subjecting a new mum to. Despite all her hardship, and me meddling, she's a wonderful mum and doing her best to nurture her sweet babies. Last night, her first night here, she ate an entire dish of special Mother and Baby food - enough normally for 2 or 3 hedgehogs. The sight of that empty dish absolutely broke me. It's too early for a prognosis on Leah and the babies, but already, because of them, her little part of the world is going to become more hedgehog-friendly.

Duo'd with eliza last night and she locked in leona for the first time after trying Nautilus we hopped in a normal game so she could learn the champ without ranked pressure. she was hesitant at first but I gave her a bit of encouragement to just go in during the level 2 cheese. Once she got a taste of Leona's engage power something switched in this woman. she was now just flying in on cooldown. Ashe walked up? INSTANT E. Ashe under tower? She confidently says "Im going" Level 7 rolls around? "IM GOING, THEIR DEAD" i have never seen a confidence spike that VIOLENT in my life. one ult and suddenly she's engaging on cooldown like she's been playing leona for 3 seasons. i'm watching this happen in real time wondering who this woman is and what she did with my lux main. then she decided to roam mid without telling me without vision without a team got collapsed on by the entire enemy team in the river i SPRINTED from bot lane. tumbled through their jungler. condemned the mid laner into a wall. SHE HAS THE CONFIDENCE TO SCREAM I AM GOING BACK IN. In that moment, I thought to myself. I've never heard her have so much fun playing League of Legends. we both lived. "MY SAVIOR she says" yes eliza. that's what an ADC does. that's what i'll always do. she's locking leona again tonight i've created a monster Study the Saskio & Eliza way

Before & After… If anyone doubts the power of community action over the Environment Agency’s spineless inertia, you can walk to the outskirts of Ilford & walk along an ancient lost river to see for yourself. With 10 days of intense effort by dedicated volunteers, the river River Roding Trust managed to clean up & restore 250 metres of the Aldersbrook (about 1/3 of the brook). This allows a direct comparison between the parts of the brook we restored & those we haven’t got round to yet. These photos & videos are all from May 2026. The first is on a part of the Aldersbrook still to be restored & shows the old flood defences which are no longer needed & are killing the river but which the EA won’t remove unless we volunteers pay them £50,000 just for surveys. These defences have caused 2-3ft of stinking sludge & silt to build up over 70 years, such that the water in the brook is just a few centimetres deep. Combine with huge amounts of rubbish & and out of control knotweed infestation & the river ecosystem is essentially dead. A river that is older than England destroyed by official indifference. A hundred metres away, and it’s a different story. The rubbish & the invasive species (I sprayed the knotweed myself last autumn) are gone. The silt that used to clog the river is now spread on the banks & rapidly providing fertile ground for native plants. Instead of sludge, there’s 2-3ft of water, so fish have returned to the brook for the first time in decades, along with dragon flies, herons & a nesting moorhen. We river guardians knew our intervention would make a difference, but have been shocked at quite how quickly nature has come back. The restored Aldersbrook is now a rare jewel: pretty much the last fully natural tidal brook in London. The EA now has a choice. It can salvage some good from this situation & work with us to restore the remaining sections of the brook, or it can continue to do nothing. If the latter, river guardians *will* be back this winter to finish the job & the EA can see how well prosecuting volunteers for restoring a river without permission goes for them.

The Art of the Unscheduled Life: Why We Need to Stop Thrifting for Items and Start Thrifting for Moments ​We live in an era of the "Set Mission." ​Think about your last trip to the store. You likely had a mental checklist, a parking strategy, and an internal timer ticking away. We treat our daily errands like tactical maneuvers—get in, get the goods, avoid eye contact, and get out. We’ve optimized our lives for efficiency, but in doing so, we’ve accidentally optimized out the "human" part of being human. ​Then, you see a video like this. ​Two women, perhaps strangers or perhaps new friends, sharing an automatic bond that feels like it spans decades. It’s "cute," sure. It’s "fun," absolutely. But if you look closer, it’s actually a radical act of rebellion against the modern world. ​1. The Magic of the "Automatic Bond" There is something deeply refreshing about watching two people coexist without the barriers of social anxiety or the "stranger danger" mentality we’ve adopted as adults. We often talk about "networking" or "building platforms," but we’ve forgotten the simple art of the vibe. These two women aren't checking their phones. They aren't looking at their watches. They are leaning into the shared frequency of the moment. It’s a reminder that we are all much more alike than we are different. When we stop looking at people as obstacles in our way and start looking at them as potential collaborators in a moment of joy, the world stops being a scary place and starts being a playground. ​2. The "Stop and Smell the Roses" Philosophy The phrase "stop and smell the roses" has become such a cliché that we’ve lost the weight of its meaning. In this video, the "roses" are the items on the shelves, the silly hats, the vintage patterns, and the laughter. ​When was the last time you allowed yourself to be "off-schedule"? ​Most of us feel a pang of guilt if we linger too long in an aisle. We feel like we’re "wasting time." But time spent connecting, laughing, and exploring is never wasted. These women aren't just shopping; they are reclaiming their autonomy from a world that demands they be productive every second of the day. They’ve decided that their mission isn't the item in the basket—it’s the experience of being there. ​3. The Power of Coexistence We are currently living through what many call a "loneliness epidemic." We are more connected digitally than ever before, yet we are socially starved. We see so much "gloom and doom" on our feeds—arguments, political divides, and negativity—that we begin to view our neighbors with suspicion. ​This video is the antidote. ​It displays a beautiful template for how we should be living: coexisting in a way that prioritizes the positive. It shows that you don't need a formal invitation to be kind. You don't need a 20-year history to share a laugh. You just need to be present. If more of us walked into spaces with the intention of finding a friend rather than finishing a task, the "doom and gloom" would lose its power. ​4. Choosing the Positive Over the Negative It’s easy to be cynical. It’s "cool" to be detached. But it takes real bravery to be enthusiastic. It takes strength to look at a stranger and say, "I’m going to enjoy this moment with you." ​These women are choosing light. They are looking for the fun in the mundane. A thrift store, by definition, is full of things people cast aside—the "old," the "used," the "outdated." Yet, in that environment, they’ve found something brand new: a genuine connection. ​The Challenge for the Reader: The next time you’re out on a "mission," I challenge you to break the script. ​Look up from your phone. ​Comment on something interesting you see. ​Allow yourself to stay five minutes longer than you planned. ​Smile at the person who seems to be enjoying themselves. ​We don't need more "efficiency." We need more of this. We need to remind ourselves that life isn't a race to the checkout counter—it’s the conversations we have while we’re standing in line.
