Taehyung chose specific audios for his Type 非 clips. The audio for this says: The world is a prison I have been trapped all my life The walls closing in on me The sky gets blacker with night Till I fall into the sea All of me will be lost forevermore A moment’s peace and it’s goodbye

I think we will all be shocked how quickly Rivian makes progress on point to point. Everyone who tried early autopilot or FSD will be impressed how smoothly it handles roads without clear markings, how smooth the accelerator, brake, and steering are today. You can tell the better cameras see traffic from up ahead so you don’t fly into the rear end of another car then slam on brakes. It’s smooth. I’m pumped!

Dealing with their situationship was frustrating for me, but I’m glad it didn’t end on a toxic note. They all had their experiences with love, getting hurt, breaking hearts, and facing tension and drama, but it all felt genuine. It was annoying for me, really, possibly because I’ve had similar experiences. It’s human to feel this way. Love is complicated, and when young people fall in love, they make mistakes, learning lessons with each experience at different stages of their lives. Macross is about love and the challenges people from diverse backgrounds face when they fall in love. It’s about culture and the beauty it holds, how culture unites us all and how opening our hearts and arms to one another paves the way for peace and harmony. It’s a simple and optimistic story, but I enjoyed it. I can’t wait to see what’s next! I still need to finish the movie version, though.

17th & Pearl. Denver continues adding deeply subsidized and supportive housing in dense central neighborhoods like Capitol Hill/Uptown, including Renaissance Uptown Lofts on Pearl, nearby projects adding 100+ units, and City Council eyeing another $4.5M purchase at 12th & Sherman for more “affordable” units. Last night: another outdoor death investigation at Pearl & 15th right by the Renaissance. Meth Camp Mike’s approach has cleared many large downtown encampments but all he’s actually done is disperse chronically homeless and addicted individuals into residential neighborhoods without fixing addiction, mental health, or accountability…while nearly bankrupting the city.

Last night alone, Russia launched 172 strike drones — over 100 of them were Shaheds. These massive drone attacks have now become a near-daily reality. On top of that, there are continued missile threats, including ballistic ones. Our partners should clearly understand: these strikes are not just attacks on Ukrainian civilians, but also on all international efforts — on the very diplomacy we are trying to use to end this war. Russia is striking at the positions of everyone who wants to end this war. It is impossible to ignore hundreds of Shaheds every night. We expect a response. We are working toward a response. A strong response is needed — from the U.S., from Europe, from everyone in the world who has placed their bets on diplomacy. Russia must be forced into peace — only pressure will work. For far too long, the U.S. proposal for an unconditional ceasefire has been on the table — without a proper response from Russia. That says a lot. There could already have been a ceasefire — if there had been real pressure on Russia. I thank those partners who understand this and are pushing the necessary decisions forward — including new sanctions.

Right now in Sumy region, doctors are providing all necessary assistance to those wounded by a Russian strike. The Russians struck right on the street, hitting ordinary residential buildings. Sleazebags. There have been virtually no days without killings during this whole time, while the United States, Europe, and other global actors have been urging Russia to agree to a ceasefire and negotiations to end the war. But Russia remains fully committed to war, and they prove it with both their strikes and their statements. All of this is the argument for new, tougher sanctions against Russia. I’m grateful to all Americans and Europeans who support this approach of pressuring Russia into peace, it’s extremely important. Russia must feel what war truly means.

Annual reminder that Home Alone is a Christian movie. Watch this scene very carefully, where Kevin is drawn to the beauty and warmth of the church. As he walks inside to "O Holy Night", he hears the words "Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!" A sanctuary candle passes across the foreground, indicating that Christ is present inside the church. Kevin then has an encounter with a Christ figure: Old Man Marley. Kevin makes a confession to him, then shakes his hand and we see a bandage on Marley's hand. It's never explained why his hand is wounded, but earlier in the movie we saw that his hand was actually pierced ALL THE WAY THROUGH — like the nails driven through Christ's hands on the cross. At the end of the movie, Kevin cannot save himself from the burglars, and so Marley appears again to rescue him. Home Alone is a Christian movie.

The most contemptible aspect of this ( isn't so much that Blinken pressures Ukraine into sacrificing its youth by tying aid to mobilization but that he does so without the first sign of a vision for a clear and achievable peace. I read the entirety of his press conference (available here: and he doesn't even begin to articulate conditions or pathways to end the conflict. He doesn't address the implications of lowering the mobilization age or provide context for why such measures might be necessary, he just calls it a "hard but necessary decision". All he focuses on in his speech are tactical priorities: money, munitions, and mobilization. Which means that the reason is war for war's sake, just senseless loss of life. Or more precisely, it's senseless for the Ukrainians (and the Russians) but probably not for the U.S.: to quote Senator Lindsey Graham "this is a great deal for America" ( It cannot but remain absolutely astonished that this is all possible, in Europe, in this day and age and that almost no-one calls out the sheer insanity at play here. Heck, European leaders themselves are the most enthusiastic for this mad endless conflict on their own continent, mobilizing youth as an end in itself without a peace plan... At least you much better understand the first world war when you see this: European leaders enthusiastically sending their youth to slaughter without strategic purpose, trapped in a cycle of escalation they themselves set in motion, with the U.S. happily benefiting from it all on the other side of the Atlantic.

💔 Another Night of Tears in Nigeria 💔 The cries of innocent families rose into the darkness on Sunday night as terrorists attacked Gwom-Ajang village, a remote community about 15 miles southwest of Jos, the capital of Plateau State, Nigeria. At least seven precious lives were brutally taken. Mothers, daughters, sisters, and community members who had gathered together were suddenly thrown into terror as gunmen opened fire without mercy. Several others were left wounded, carrying physical scars and emotional wounds that may never fully heal. According to local residents, the attack specifically targeted a women's gathering. Witnesses reported hearing the attackers shout "Allahu Akbar" while speaking Fulani as they carried out the assault. Behind every number is a human story. A mother who will never return home to her children. A child who will wait for a loved one who is never coming back. A family whose future was shattered in a single night of violence. Tonight, another village mourns. Another community buries its dead. Another group of children asks questions that no child should ever have to ask. Please remember the victims, the wounded, and the grieving families in your prayers. May God comfort the brokenhearted, heal the injured, and bring peace to those living under the shadow of fear and violence. 🙏💔 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18

■ MBCC Announcement "Perhaps we are not without resources after all. Because... for those of us who have endured on these lands of famine for so long, stubbornness is our most enduring strength. And this homeland we cling to so stubbornly... is no dead-end crevice. Look up, you'll see how vast it truly is. ...Even after saying all this, standing alone still feels uncertain. Would you... walk this road forward with me?" At first, the crowd falls into utter silence. Then, a new sound rises, not cheers or pleas, but scattered voices slowly merging into a chorus... of steady, determined commitment. "Then let us begin our journey. From this day on, my Aurum Secretum research belongs to the people of the farlands. Together, we will survive on these lands of famine. On the path ahead, we will not be alone. The Hypercubes scattered across our homeland are blessings from our loved ones who departed first. They will watch over us as we go forward." #PathtoNowhere #PTN #TheThornyRoadstoDawn

taehyun wrote 'bird of night' to give us comfort. a gentle hand reaching out in the quiet hours, when the world feels too heavy to carry on our shoulders. he crafted it for our sleepless nights, the ones where anxiety whispers the loudest, and peace feels the furthest from reach. he wrote it for the lonely parts of us; the parts we often hide from the world, the ones that ache to be seen and long to be understood. in every note and lyric, there's a quiet reassurance: you are not alone. his voice becomes a lullaby for the soul, wrapping around us like a soft blanket in the darkness. 'bird of night' is more than just a song. it’s a sanctuary, a refuge we run to when everything else feels like it’s falling apart. in the stillness of the night, when tears fall without warning and our hearts feel unbearably heavy, taehyun's warm voice finds us. it holds us. the song doesn’t try to fix the pain, but it stays with us in it, like a quiet friend who simply sits beside you and says, i see you. i'm here. there's something so achingly beautiful about how 'bird of night' touches the most rawest parts of us. it doesn’t shy away from the darkness, instead it walks into it with us, hand in hand, and lights a little candle of hope. and sometimes, that little light is all we need to make it through. it heals from the inside out with tenderness. like a soft breeze after a storm, reminding us that we’ve survived this far, and we’re not alone in our fight to keep going. taehyun gave us this song not just as an artist, but as a human being who understands the quiet battles we fight. and in doing so, he gave us more than music. he gave us a piece of his heart, and a reason to hold on and keep going every single day.

As of today, 58 countries have eliminated at least one neglected tropical disease (NTD), putting the world on a strong path toward achieving WHO’s target of 100 countries by 2030. However, the fall in global health financing threatens to reverse *these* hard-won gains. Without renewed action, including investment, NTDs will continue to cost affected families and communities an estimated US$33 billion annually in lost wages and out-of-pocket expenses. I urge all governments to safeguard past progress, mobilize new funding and leadership, accelerate innovation, and integrate health services—including mental health—into NTD responses. True elimination means freeing people not only from the disease, but from the shame, isolation, and despair that too often accompany it.

2013-14 Joakim Noah will always be one of my favorite individual seasons of all-time. It was the definition of a dragging a team to relevance through pure intensity and willpower. After DRose went down with a knee injury 10 games into the season, most expected the Bulls to fall apart. Instead, Noah turned in one of the most unique center seasons of the modern era. On top of the stat line, he won the DPOY award, made All-NBA First Team, All-Defensive First Team, and finished 4th in MVP voting. Defensively, he was the Bulls entire system. Tom Thibodeau built the defense around Noah’s communication, rotations, hedging, rim protection, and effort. He was so smart on this end of the floor. Offensively, he evolved into a “point center.” The Bulls had almost no shot creation, so Noah started initiating offense from the elbow and top of the key. He was throwing backdoor passes, dribble handoffs, transition hit-aheads, and operating like a secondary point guard. More than all of that, though, was the effort he displayed every night. That’s why Bulls fans will always love Joakim. This was the ultimate culture season.
