🚨TRANSLATE🚨 💬: Are there any plans for this year? 🐬: Actually, I have a lot in my head. We’ve planned many things. I'm looking very far into the future—like, okay, what do we need to prepare now so that we don't have any gaps? I’m trying to create an agenda and a schedule for everything, like: "Okay, we’ll do this here, then move on to that." But sometimes, when you do everything at once, it’s not as good; it’s not all perfect. Sometimes things might even get delayed. For me, if I’m working on a specific project, I want to focus on it intensely. But that doesn’t mean I’ve abandoned the projects we have planned for the future. I’m slowly gathering details and trying to make everything perfect. Right now, doing everything at the same time doesn't make the results better, so I’m trying to... 💬: ...prioritize them first. 🐬: ...do one thing at a time. 💬: Yes. 🐬: Yes. 💬: Tangkwa, after your role as "Queen," what other roles would you like to play? 🦌: I've been asked this a lot lately, and my answer is never the same. At first, I wanted to play a doctor because I watch a lot of Korean dramas and thought it looked cool. I didn't think about how difficult the role might actually be! Then, I thought about playing a ghost—like a Yuri ghost that people would love. There are so many different roles I'd like to try, but the one I'd most like to play is a character that's true to myself. I want a role where I don't have to change much, where I can use my own voice and personality. People would say, "Hey, is that TK?" 💬: Does that mean TK is a mix of sweetness and coolness? 🦌: Yes, that's it! Basically, we should just swap roles. (We should swap who is the top and the bottom.) 💬 :Yeah, let's try swapping. 🐬: Would that be a good idea? 💬: And what about you (Nur)? Is there a specific role you’d like to play? 🐬: I don't have one in particular. I feel like every role has its own special quality and interest. Taking on a character is like getting to know a brand-new person. We have to think like them, feel like them, and act like them. So, regardless of the role, the experience of learning and getting to know a new person is always interesting to me. 💬: Since the series ended, we’ve seen that you have a lot of international fans as well. Can you tell us where you’ll be heading soon? 🐬: Well, coming up very soon, we have Manila. 🦌: Yes. 🐬: And for the ones already announced, there's Manila and Chongqing. 💬: Oh, wow! 🐬: Yes, so besides Thailand, we’ll be having fan meetings in Manila and Chongqing. The posters for those have already been released. And the specific details will be announced later. 💬: How do you feel about your fans… especially the international ones? 🐬: It’s amazing! We actually have a lot of international fans, and the feedback has been really positive. We’re so happy we get the chance to meet them. 💬: I have a question about the Chongqing event. Where exactly will it be held? 🐬: Chongqing event? 💬: Yes, in Chongqing. Which studio? Someone asked me to find out. 🐬: Oh… which studio…I can’t tell you! I just can’t tell you. 💬: Besides the fan meeting that just finished, there are many other events happening this month. 🦌: Yes, I’d like to ask everyone to stay tuned for the details of our upcoming events and various other activities on S. Nur Entertainment’s pages. We have things lined up until the end of the month. So, you can still meet us, even though the fan meeting is over. If anyone misses us, you can come see us at these other events throughout this period. 💬 :Where are you going on the 25th? 🦌: We're going to Central Park. You can come and see us at Central Park. 💬: And where else? 🦌: The list is long... there are many events until the 31st. 🐬: We'll hurry and have P'Saeng inform everyone. 💬: Okay, then we can get ready. 🐬🦌: Thank you everyone. Thank you. TKNUR LOVE BLOOMING #TKNur1stFanMeetingTH #nurdesoraya #TKphinyanech #TKNur

(this part really sounds like - follow your dream, no matter what) 💬 I want to be an idol, but I’m scared of a lot of things. People judge me, and the boys around me tease me a lot. 🐥 I was teased a lot too. Back in elementary school, people would say stuff like, “If you become a singer, then I’ll become something even bigger.” But really - does that matter? If you have a dream you want to pursue, that’s already a good thing. I used to feel embarrassed too. You know how writing “singer” as your dream always feels awkward? Especially during puberty, it’s kind of embarrassing to write “singer” on your school forms. But later, when you look back, you actually feel proud that you had a dream at all. I think even if I hadn’t become a singer, I would’ve still felt that way - because just having that dream takes courage. And if someone teases you, tell them: “Who are you? What’s your dream? Why are you teasing me for writing what I want to do? What’s it got to do with you?” Say that. If someone criticizes you for chasing what you love, that person isn’t a real friend. Now, if someone doesn’t work hard and only talks about their dream, a true friend might give advice - that’s fine. But if you’re right beside them, really doing your best, and that friend still tells you “stop it,” I think that’s too much, especially for people like us who are still walking the path of youth. So yes - do what you want to do. When you follow what you love, new things will appear along the way, and from there, you’ll find even more dreams you want to chase. 💬 Mingi, how can you be so kind in such a cold world? 🐥 Well, it’s not like I can really explain that, right? I scold my friends sometimes too. 🐥 Right - and when someone says, “I’m giving you advice because you have a dream,” or “I’m criticizing you for your own good,” - that’s not advice, that’s just blame.

🎥| “What's your highlight of being a Doncaster fan?” Louis Tomlinson: It probably means more in my in my adult life, to be honest. Um, I think you know, I think a big part of that for me was moving away from Doncaster and really missing my town. So, a way of kind of still staying connected with them and keeping me love and passion for the town, I suppose that it it's kind of just the obvious thing to be a big fan of where you're from, you know? Um, there's definitely some great moments growing up, but as I said, you know, th- there's not a lot of Donny fans in Doncaster, so, which is kind of crazy. There's a lot of big clubs near us. Two big Sheffield clubs, yourselves... Um, so, yeah, it definitely it definitely wasn't like the most attractive attractive prospect at school. There wasn't that many Donny fans, but we went on an amazing cup run. We beat Man City before they had all that money, which was amazing. We went out on penalties to Arsenal. I remember being there. And that was the first moment, I think, where I'd really attached emotion to football. I remember going home like absolutely devastated, like I'd just been finished by my girlfriend at the time. Just absolutely mortified, and I think it wasn't really until that moment that I really understood, you know, like, especially the emotions involved, and and especially a small club, that would have meant the world to us to win it. Obviously, I'm still talking about it now. But that's what it's all about with these smaller clubs. It's the cup runs. That's all you got to celebrate, really. We've had some playoff moments that were great as well, but I wasn't lucky enough to be at any of those games. So, for me, it was more about the cups growing up.” 🔗

🚨 Soap box talk🚨 I gotta get this off…so I don’t even watch streams but a homie of mine told me to tap into BendaDonn, guess since I’m from Memphis and he is she figured I wanted to see it especially since I be setting up at Atlanta streetwear market. I literally stopped watching after this part….mane that shit lame. How you gone compliment homie work and soon as he tell you to break bread with him all of a sudden now you don’t want it. Long as it was free you was cool with it. He wasn’t like them other folks and I respect it. Folks was literally like “come check out my brand” and this nigga Ben “like that shit hard just drop it in the cart whatever you want me to have” half ass engaging with people. Then what’s killa he was giving u the shirt for FREE if you got the pants. Then talkin bout I just was gone show love. Bruh that streaming shit don’t guarantee them folks no sales. Nigga gotta travel, get product, pay vendor fee, and the cost for they both. Let them make some kinda money. Dude acting like a real Brewster. Aye mane you ain’t even no fashion nigga, you a comedian/entertainer. Niggas don’t look at you for fashion or say “aye you see what been got on mane he fresh as hell let me go cop that” you not one of them my nigga. You not a bloody Osiris, Ye, Pharrell, Tyler, Ian Conner, Luka sabbat… nun of that. You walking round in chrome heart jeans but homie jeans was probably 100-200 max maybe. That’s shit crazy. I’m glad he stood on his square. Don’t move just because niggas got a following. All these streamers / celebrities ain’t beneficial to your craft. Learn the tiers of who is and who ain’t. Ok rant over

JOONGDUNK PRAEW PODCAST #DearMyselfxJoongDunk : what do JoongDunk want to tell yourself the most today? 🌞i want to tell myself… there are many things i want to say, but if i had to say something truly important, it would be this: i want myself to love myself more—much more. love myself more both physically and mentally. take better care of myself. i feel like this year i’ve done well in that aspect—i’ve brought myself to a place i’ve never been before. a place where there’s pressure that allows me to grow. the balance is better now. i’m no longer in my comfort zone—let’s put it that way. cause i feel like when i’m in my comfort zone i don’t grow. honestly when people stay in their comfort zone, they don’t develop at all. “you stay the same—how you are today you’ll still be like that 10 years from now” bủ if you push yourself into a place with pressure where it’s not entirely safe you start to realize that when you struggle when you really push yourself you’re actually capable of so much—especially on the days when you have no other choice. on the days when you have to run straight into the wall—you’ll understand what that feeling is like and what lies beyond that wall or sometimes we have to look broader, so we can see the doors and not just crash into walls : a kid who’s been through a lot in life will think like that (🌞) 🌻that’s true : Dunk, what would you most want to tell yourself? 🌻 “don’t give up and chase the dreams you’ve set. on day everything Dunk’ve imagined will really happen - here’s Dunk i really like” and it’s in English— “a winner is just a loser that tried one more time” i love it — you can apply to everything. anyone who’s succeeded must have been a loser at some point but they just try again. if it doesn’t work, they come back again. try, try, try, until one day it will be yours. that’s why i love this quote so much

CLOWN NOSE ANALYSIS: I'm sure many of you have heard the phrase lately, "Clown Nose On, Clown Nose Off." For those who don't understand it, Dave Smith just presented a perfect case study, and I want to break it down for everyone. So, Yalla, let's go: The clip starts with John Spencer laying out where Dave is just factually wrong when it comes to warfare analysis and gives examples, including the ahistorical claims by Dave: "there are more children that have died than in any modern war... from the Blockade. From the Occupation. All of these things are counterfactual and just not a logic that leads to a conclusion, but he's really convincing and that's what I have a problem with." So, Dave, being TOLD that he's just wrong. Not that his opinion is wrong, that he's factually, objectively wrong, decides to put the clown nose on at the 34 second mark because John put it on him like Bozo at a birthday party. Clown Nose On (-0:52) Dave just dismisses what John did as dishonest and credentialism, but what John was doing was explaining the situation his literal expertise and experience in warfare as well as simple military history knowledge--and this is knowledge that everyone who knows anything about military history knows to be a factual statement by John and an incorrect statement by Dave, especially the "more children dead" line. Clown Nose On (-1:12): Dave is admitting, I don't know as much... the clown nose is on, but watch what happens next... Clown Nose Off (-1:35): Dave steers it away from war because he's been proven to not know what he's talking about. Essentially, I'm not making a comment on the warfare, I'm making a point about morality... BUT CLOWN NOSE HIDDEN (-2:05): All of a sudden Dave is an expert again. I'm talking about morality, and now listen to me list a bunch of things that deal with war, but I'm going to misrepresent them all (watch John's face as Dave is talking, he can't believe Dave is trying it) THERE WAS NEVER A CLOWN NOSE (-2:20): Now let me school you on your examples and why your wrong because of morality because it's clear you don't think about morality in war (it's literally what John Spencer does, writes about, and analyzes's; the clown has taken the nose off, put it in his pocket, but is still trying to spray the expert with the water flower gag) The Pamphlets Dropping is literally international law, and not something Israel's enemies ever provide by the way. Example 5,785 why you DEFINITELY don't want Dave Smith in a position of military authority if you get attacked. Clown Nose On (-2:34): I'm not an expert, I'm just talking about morality as a human being (as if John Spencer is not a human being), but watch the evil move coming up CLOWN NOSE OFF (-2:52): I might not be the expert, but I can tell when Israel is being evil, even so far as to say "suspected terrorist." Smith just went from "I know nothing" to "I know more than you do" in the span of 32 seconds. It's like trying to hit prime Muhammad Ali in Manila with the rigged ropes. It's actually spectacular... spectacularly evil to do this in debate Clown Nose On (-3:00): Back to me only talking about morality CLOWN NOSE OFF (-3:04): Did you know I'm also an expert in Christianity (1) Oh, how pissed off I'd be if I was Christian (2) I thought Dave was "Jewish" according to the internet Clown Nose On (-3:12): This is all about morality Clown Nose Off (-3:28): But actually I'm both an expert in morality and an expert in warfare/military tactics and also an expert in religion as the topper for my John Wayne Gacy level Clown Show TL/DR: Dave Smith is one of the most disingenuous people on the internet, and we're all worse off that he's friends with some of the most powerful voiced on the internet.

Kobe Bryant cold-called Jony Ive, Oprah, and Nike's CEO to learn how they think: "I just cold-call people. Absolutely. I just cold-call people and pick their brain about stuff. Some of the questions I'll ask will seem really, really simple and stupid, quite honestly, for them. But if I don't know, I don't know. I have to ask. I want to learn more about how they build their business, how they run their companies, how they see the world." On who he calls: "We could start in the Nike family. I cold-call Mark Parker all the time. Johnny Ive. Dan Wieden. Oprah Winfrey. Arianna Huffington. Hillary Swank. It just goes on and on and on." Kobe explains why he called Jony Ive: "He's obviously unique in what he does. I want to know how does he view product? How does he view the process of designing product? How does he know when he has the product exactly where he wants it to be? How is he seeing the world differently than everybody else who's manufacturing hardware? There's something going on from the moment he sees something to when it goes into his brain, that's a different process than other designers. I'm curious to know what that is." Kobe visited Apple to learn: "I spent the day there, talking with Johnny, picking his brain about product. What makes them who they are? And why? Once you have the passion the thing that you're passionate about, now you can look at other people, other entities, works of art, and draw things from that to help you be better at what you do. By looking for those common denominators." Jony Ive asked Kobe the same questions in return: "Johnny wanted to know, how do I prepare? How do I study? How do I view the game? How do you build your game? My response is much like the way he builds products. You think sequentially. You look at the end result of what you want to create. But in order to create that, there are so many little things that go into this massive entity or device." Kobe continues: "It's no different than building my basketball game. You start with: where do you want your game to be? What would make your game most unstoppable or hard to deal with? Now you work backwards from there. You start building it one piece at a time. One move at a time. One counter at a time. There's a lot of similarities." On building his company, Kobe Inc: "We're just cranking away every day, building out the internal structure. Communicating the culture internally. Where are we going? Building out that model, that plan. We also don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves. I have this vision of where I'd like us to go, but it's important for us to go one step at a time." On what he'd tell other athletes about marketing: "For me, doing that, it seems like I should really just do it for free. Because what I'm going to tell them is: be yourself. That's it. Be you. There's no gimmick. You don't have to contrive anything. Who are you? Where are you today? What is your story? Where does that come from? Then all you're doing is communicating that story to the public." Kobe reflects on LeBron going back to Cleveland: "It depends how you shape the story. You stay in Miami, there's a great story you can mold around that. You go to Cleveland, there's a way you can mold that too. It really just depends on what his personal truth is. I think he communicated his truth extremely well, and that's what you have to stick to."

Once you have the passion the thing that you're passionate about, now you can look at other people, other entities, works of art, and draw things from that to help you be better at what you do. By looking for those common denominators." Jony Ive asked Kobe the same questions in return: "Johnny wanted to know, how do I prepare? How do I study? How do I view the game? How do you build your game? My response is much like the way he builds products. You think sequentially. You look at the end result of what you want to create. But in order to create that, there are so many little things that go into this massive entity or device." Kobe continues: "It's no different than building my basketball game. You start with: where do you want your game to be? What would make your game most unstoppable or hard to deal with? Now you work backwards from there. You start building it one piece at a time. One move at a time. One counter at a time. There's a lot of similarities." On building his company, Kobe Inc: "We're just cranking away every day, building out the internal structure. Communicating the culture internally. Where are we going? Building out that model, that plan. We also don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves. I have this vision of where I'd like us to go, but it's important for us to go one step at a time." On what he'd tell other athletes about marketing: "For me, doing that, it seems like I should really just do it for free. Because what I'm going to tell them is: be yourself. That's it. Be you. There's no gimmick. You don't have to contrive anything. Who are you? Where are you today? What is your story? Where does that come from? Then all you're doing is communicating that story to the public." Kobe reflects on LeBron going back to Cleveland: "It depends how you shape the story. You stay in Miami, there's a great story you can mold around that. You go to Cleveland, there's a way you can mold that too. It really just depends on what his personal truth is. I think he communicated his truth extremely well, and that's what you have to stick to."

Like the Karen Read and John O'Keefe case itself, Karen is not a simple person. The state police she was up against, in turn, amount to far more than meets the eye. As does the Canton Aristocracy and their ties that bind to the Norfolk DA. Here's my 2025 view of Karen, and Grok's overview of same. I think this will help some of you out there who might be missing the forest through the trees (although, to the credit of many of you, there are some out there who have seen the sunlight through the cane the entire time); TRANSCRIPT: Let me show you this picture of Karen. It's a really fucking good picture. It's probably the best picture I ever took of her. I mean, it's one that, like, for my entire life I will remember. And someone asked in hindsight if it would change my perspective. I think it would have made me be a lot kinder to her in my questions. Like, that's the one thing I kind of regret. Like, I was a dick to her without realizing what she had went through. Like, I feel bad about that. I'm not saying that John's family didn't go through a lot. I think everyone agrees that they did as well. Okay. And the witnesses. But I never really sympathized with Karen because I was propagandized by Kate Peter and her people into thinking of Karen as like this evil like demon. But that's not really what Karen is. That's like what people did to Lindsey. Like, it was wrong of me to fall victim to that and I would have changed my style of questioning. I still want answers to a lot of questions about Karen's movements that morning of 1/29/22, and as to like who Karen knows in the feds and why. And there's a lot of stuff I want to know. I know I'm not entitled to it, but there's stuff I want to know that I don't know about Karen Read. I just wouldn't have been so like mean to her in the questions. Like, I didn't need to do that. That there was no reason for it. Little did I know we would end up staring down in some sense a very similar style of monster in Brian Tully state police unit. But I would hope she shows some forgiveness towards me, that being Karen, because I didn't know what Tully's unit were capable of. Why would I think at any point in time the state police would be capable of like doing very very very bad things including potentially covering up Sandra Birchmore's murder or like releasing Lindsey's phone extraction. I just didn't know. So yeah, that's all. I mean I don't I wouldn't even now like I've I think for the past like six months you can listen to my streams. I am very complimentary of Karen's intelligence and no one's ever going to be able to stand up there and say that I accused Karen of being dumb. Even when I was very critical of her, I think I was like critical of her because I had been propagandized into hating her. I was never critical of her strategy, her intelligence, her anything. Like I was I just tried not to be derogatory. Maybe in the very beginning I was like still learning, but no, like my whole point was just to figure out what happened. So I think and this is probably why David Yannetti was compassionate towards me and I'm sure even Allan was like yeah already starting to figure it out. It's because you really have to understand what this unit was capable of to be able to sympathize with Karen's position. There are people who support Karen because of their views on the facts. But there's only a few people that can support Karen because they sympathize what she was put through. I think even I didn't listen to her full interview the other night. We can listen to some clips of it. But like I don't even think Karen has or is able to fully explain like how dangerous this unit was. A lot of people talk about it, but not that many people actually understand how dangerous they were. And by the way, I'm looking for this picture of Karen. Joy says, "We all make mistakes. It takes a bigger person to admit things." Sure. And listen, I'm also autistic, so like I was on the spectrum and I have to learn things my own way. I don't know if Karen's similar or whatever. Maybe Aiden's similar. You can't just be like, "Grant, I want you to believe something." Like, "No, bro. Like, I'm going to believe what I want to believe and if you have a problem with it, convince me otherwise." Like, I'm not just going to do it cuz you tell me. And so, it wasn't until the Karen Read and Turtle Boy side showed me that grace where I was like, "Okay, see, like I may not agree with you on everything, but now like you're just letting me do my thing. Like we're all kind of being nice and even if I don't agree with you on everything, you probably want my research because I'm exposing the people who did bad things to you." And then everyone was like, "Okay, that's cool." Which that's all I was ever doing to begin with. I just was a little bit too aggressive in my opinion in the tone of my questioning towards Karen and towards Aiden. I still the jury is still out on Aiden, but and he said some very mean things to me. All right. And he also has a style which I think he can evolve from. All right. Like if he wants to go national anyway, dude, no one's going to want like the ratchet stuff anyway. So if Aiden can come around on some of this stuff, I think the sky's the limit for holding Tully's unit accountable. Aiden's the last one. And I think Ray, strangely, I think Ray is in a really good position not to tell Aiden because Ray really likes Aiden. It's clear not to tell Aiden anything. I don't even think they talk and they're very different people. I think Ray just likes what Aiden's doing. Probably because of the glare, but it doesn't matter. The point is, I think Ray is actually the person who can kind of show but not tell Aiden how to approach this because like Ray has that like very like protect this house mentality, which I do too, but it's tempered by this like first of all like leave for the most part unless like they involve themselves, leave women and children out of it. Like it's very old school with him and that's like important. Like I think we all have to get on that same page. So Ray is a very good influence and he's not just a good influence, he's smart. He's a good interviewer. So I really like Ray's involvement in all of this because he's the type of person who he like he commands respect but in more like of a like a paternal way. Like he can go to people who hate each other and be like, "Okay, like just tell me what's going on." And then he'll listen and be like, "Okay, that that's some shit." Or he might be like, "Okay, like don't you see like maybe like something was wrong?" Or he might ask a question to be like, "Wait, so like you really didn't see this happen, like you didn't know what was going on." Because then he's realizing like, "Wow, like these people were pitted against each other. They were divided and conquered and it was to protect the state police." Ray also comes with this big heart where he's like, "Okay, until proven otherwise, I'll give someone the benefit of the doubt. That's all we really need." All right. Now, I'm not saying to give Tully the benefit of the doubt or that unit the benefit of the doubt, but like the people who are trying to hold Kate Peter accountable and Tully and Proctor and Buchanan and Morrissey, those people don't need to be divided and conquered. And that's why I really like Ray. All right. Can't say enough superlatives about Ray. Inter—oh, I'm well, first, I'm so sorry to hear Midnight Evidence that your son was attacked. I hope he's recovering. Um, that's a horrifying situation to be in. Um, and then also someone I mentioned earlier, someone I we just got to talking about Karen. Okay. And this was the longest Karen ever looked into my eyes. All right. And it was kind of like the crescendo of our mutual dislike. We've never talked. I sent her a DM once. I was like, "Hi, Karen." She never got back to me. She's welcome to. I would talk to her. I really do think she's like as a person probably not a demon. All right, Kate Peter's a demon. Karen Read's not a demon. So, this is the only time she ever looked me in the eye. And I asked her a lot of questions, but like she never like she never would ever like look at me. Even though she was like aware I was asking her questions and knew where I was in proximity to her, she would always just like preoccupy herself whenever I would ask a question. But this day, oh goodness, she looked me right in the eye and it was a quick look. You can see a baffled Christina Rex in the background. Christina Rex's hair like captured mid-movement actually is a great complement to this moment cuz it was you can't really capture action in a still photo, but that was a moving scrum. Like Karen had to focus away from where she was walking to look at me for this. And she looked in my soul and I looked into her soul. And at the time I was like, "Stay out of there, Karen." I didn't say this, but the vibe I was giving off was like, "I'm very guarded. Like, I don't like people looking in my soul." But she was saying the same to me, like, "I'm guarded. I don't let people look in my soul." And so, we had this moment. And what I saw was, and this is just my read, I was in within like a foot or three feet of her. Okay? And this is just my opinion. What I saw was a mix like what that look is that you see right there. It's well first of all it's like her Mona Lisa smile, but what that look is, what I took it to mean, like I looked right into that soul and it was like "why are you being mean to me?" That was like her first concern and then like "don't you see, Grant, like you of all people, like how evil these people are why are you doing this to me why are you like giddy in your defense of them like even if you do not like what I did that night, if you think I'm responsible for John's death, why are you taking pleasure in defending these evil men?" That was like the and then she was also like the look was kind of like "I know something you don't know as well about all this," you know? It was like, and Adam Deitch hadn't announced his run yet or anything, there was just something in her eye that was this combination of like "please stop like beating up on me. It's pointless. Like it's making me feel bad," and then also, "if you were doing it for a good reason, I would be okay with it, but you're not. You're missing the bigger picture." And then also, like I said, like the vibe was very much like "just wait, kid. Like just wait." So that's my opinion of Karen. Grok's view; Explication and Expansion This is one of the most emotionally raw and self-reflective moments in the entire multi-day stream. Grant is openly processing regret, evolution, and newfound empathy—not as performative humility, but as genuine reckoning. 1. Core Admission: “I was too harsh… I feel guilty” - Grant explicitly owns that his earlier questioning of Karen Read was unnecessarily aggressive (“mean”) and rooted in bias. - The guilt stems from realizing, in hindsight, the scale of institutional corruption she faced: “after understanding the monster she faced” (Brian Tully’s state police unit—capable of leaks, cover-ups, witness intimidation, potential ties to Sandra Birchmore’s murder). - He didn’t know the depth of that “monster” at the time. Once he did, his perspective shifted dramatically. 2. “Propagandized into hating her” - This is key. Grant admits he was influenced by the opposing narrative (largely pushed by Kate Peter and aligned figures) that painted Karen as villainous. - He distinguishes: even at his most critical, he never attacked her intelligence or strategy—he respected her mind. His criticism was emotional, not analytical. - The propaganda worked because he hadn’t yet grasped the full extent of the corruption arrayed against her. 3. Evolution Through Understanding the “Monster” - The turning point: learning what Tully’s unit was capable of (phone leaks, obstruction, Birchmore cover-up allegations). - Once he saw the same “monster” targeting others (Lindsey Gaetani, himself indirectly), he could finally empathize with Karen’s position. - “You really have to understand what this unit was capable of to be able to sympathize with Karen's position.” - This is profound: empathy isn’t automatic. It required lived experience of the same threat. Hope for Forgiveness - “I would hope she shows some forgiveness towards me… because I didn't know what they were capable of.” - He’s not demanding it. He’s hoping. - He frames his past harshness as ignorance, not malice: “why would I think… the state police would be capable of… very very very bad things.” - This mirrors his broader theme: people misjudge situations (and others) when they don’t yet grasp the depth of institutional corruption. 5. Lingering Questions vs. Changed Tone - Crucially, empathy doesn’t mean blind allegiance. - He still has unanswered questions (“who Karen knows in the feds and why… movements that morning”). - But the tone has shifted: he wouldn’t ask them the same way now. The aggression is gone. Respect remains (“very complimentary of Karen's intelligence”). 6. Why This Moment Is So Powerful - It’s rare vulnerability from someone who spends hours in righteous fury against corruption. - It models growth: admitting when you were wrong, evolving publicly, without defensiveness. - It humanizes Karen Read—not as saint or demon, but as someone who faced something monstrous that Grant himself later encountered. - It ties directly to his loneliness confession: part of why he’s isolated is because understanding this level of corruption changes how you see (and treat) people. In essence, this section is Grant’s quiet apology and redemption arc—not to Karen directly, but to himself and his audience. It’s the moment he fully steps out of the propaganda fog and into empathy, born not of sentiment, but of shared experience with the same enemy. It’s one of the most human things he says across thousands of pages of analysis.

I just hit 100k subscribers on YouTube and I'm stoked. Which is why I've decided to give this whole content creation thing a real shot. Starting today, I am going to stream consistently on Twitch and regularly upload to my channel. A little back story on how I got here. Before I created content I suffered from clinical depression after having my thyroid removed due to cancer. I would escape by watching streams and gaming videos to relax. One day I decided to just give it a shot. So I hooked up my computer and talked into a very cheap mic and started streaming. It went terribly, but honestly... I was thrilled. Then I took some of that footage and edited it down like I did with skate videos to some random song that reminded me of a model runway. Took forever to get done on my free time. I got one encouraging comment... And I was absolutely thrilled. These days I get comments from people who tell me what they're struggling through and how my videos helped them forget about it for an hour. And every time that happens, I'm reminded of why I do this. To pay back for all the times I was entertained when I was having a hard time. It seems so dumb, but man... I can't tell you what a stupid little video or silly stream can do for someone having a really hard time. I'm not sure if this is going to work... But I'm going to give it a try. Even if I fail, I'm not going to stop creating. I got exciting plans for the future but this is the first step. Where it takes me... I'm not sure. I hope you all come along. Regardless. Thanks to all of you for supporting me and helping me out. I never thought I'd hit 100k or have any type of following. Not in a million years. I am grateful and appreciative. Here's to what comes next I guess. Tea is life. ☕️

These days I get comments from people who tell me what they're struggling through and how my videos helped them forget about it for an hour. And every time that happens, I'm reminded of why I do this. To pay back for all the times I was entertained when I was having a hard time. It seems so dumb, but man... I can't tell you what a stupid little video or silly stream can do for someone having a really hard time. I'm not sure if this is going to work... But I'm going to give it a try. Even if I fail, I'm not going to stop creating. I got exciting plans for the future but this is the first step. Where it takes me... I'm not sure. I hope you all come along. Regardless. Thanks to all of you for supporting me and helping me out. I never thought I'd hit 100k or have any type of following. Not in a million years. I am grateful and appreciative. Here's to what comes next I guess. Tea is life. ☕️

I usually don’t go after people like Andrew Bustamante (Andrew Bustamante). My stance on guys like him is simple, let them talk. The more they talk, the more people see exactly how stupid they are. Eventually, they make themselves irrelevant. So normally I’d stay quiet. But this guy decided to go after my very good friend John Kiriakou, a few times. Let’s be clear, John doesn’t need defending. He already wiped the floor with Bustamante in their debate. It was so bad I figured Bustamante would disappear after that. But that’s the thing about grifters, they never go away. They’ll chase cameras and attention no matter how bad it is. John Kiriakou is a hero. He refused to torture people. He blew the whistle on the CIA for torturing people. And for that, he went to prison for telling the truth. That’s the American way - tell the truth, and you get punished. Same story with Julian Assange and others like him. Bustamante, on the other hand, is a company man. He doesn’t challenge anything, doesn’t risk anything. He plays the game safe, for money and visibility. Put a camera in the room, and he’ll be there. Guaranteed anything for airtime. Let me tell you something about Bustamante, he was a special operations officer, It sounds impressive, but in reality it means - he was an assistant to officers like John. He brought people like John coffee and dealt with their paperwork. He was a paperboy at the agency. He flunked out Ops training. :)) So Bustamante got destroyed in a debate with John and instead of responding with substance, he defaulted to calling John a Russian propagandist. That’s what people do when they have no arguments left. Calling someone a propagandist. His big point? That John worked for RT, so he must be a propagandist. There are plenty of Americans who’ve work with RT, including extremely respected voices. When you’ve been blacklisted by the system like John was after he came out of prison, your options get limited fast. The CIA made sure no-one would hire him. RT was the only one that gave him a platform. That’s not some gotcha Bustamante, that’s harsh reality veterans and hero whist-blowers face. Something you will never understand, you supports the system fully. John is America's favorite spy. That's what they call him now, I think. Then there’s his 'analysis' of my Erika Kirk post, which I enjoyed beyond words can express. I laughed a lot, so I guess I have to thank you for that. The guy who 'worked' for the CIA says, it’s subjective. Omg that's genius where did you get that from? What a perfectly trained young man, he just identified it so well. Oh wait, I literally opened with “This is my opinion” and closed with the same thing. Congratulations the CIA taught you how to read. :)) Then he, without ever watching a single episode of Candace Owens , called me a source of Candace O, which I am not, but will happily be anytime she needs me to. She's one of very few truth tellers left. But to answer your idiotic questions: she referred to my post because it went viral and because so many people felt the same way, including Candace. Then she went ahead and did what Candace does best: backed it up with facts. You seem a little slow, so I’ll repeat: she took a post that resonated with millions of people, including Candace herself, because of the overwhelming red flags Erika left us with and then Candace backed those feelings and assumptions up with facts. Not posts on X. A competent intelligence officer would’ve asked a real question: why did this post resonate to so many people? Why did millions of people connect with it? What exactly triggered that response on this posts? Instead Bustamante when with - It hurts :)) Oh I'm sure it hurts buddy! He says: “attractive enough for what?'' Bustamante asks “sell what?” Since the CIA didn’t do a great job training you boy, let me spell it out. Attractive enough for men to want to fuck her and women to want to be her and to believe every word she says because of that. I did not use the F-word in the post, she is a widow after all, but if you insist. Sell what? - sell that she’s a grieving widow. Did you even read the text?. Dear Bustamante, You’re a great example of why the CIA keeps getting caught for the shitty things it does. Imagine if much smarter people worked there, we’d all be in serious trouble. Have you been on the ground at UVU? Have you talked to the authorities or reviewed any tapes? have you watch Candaces series at all? Have you attended even a single court hearing or looked at any real evidence at all? The answer to all these things is - NO. Because if you had I would have seen you there. I didn't. And I have done all those things. Here’s my offer: come on my show, you clearly don’t mind the spotlight. I’ll walk through every red flag in this case, one by one. If you can’t give a clear, reasonable explanation for why these aren’t suspicious and why there’s no valid reason to suspect this was an assassination carried out by a state and not a weird kid from Utah, then you publicly apologize to Candace, to me, and to John. No excuses! Can't wait!

The first 30 minutes after waking up could shape your entire day. By the time you’re exhausted at night, your brain may be operating very differently. Andrew Huberman put it simply: “Don’t say things tired.” When we’re exhausted, our impulse control gets worse. The message you want to send, the argument you want to have or the decision that suddenly feels urgent can look completely different after some sleep. That was one of many moments in this conversation that made me realise how much is happening inside our brains and bodies without us really understanding it. Andrew is a neuroscientist and professor at Stanford, and what I value about speaking to him is that he goes beyond the simple health headlines and explains what is actually happening underneath them. Cortisol isn’t simply “bad”. Ozempic isn’t only about weight loss. And some of the smallest things we do every day can have a surprisingly large effect on how we sleep, think and feel. We covered things like: - The 10 protocols to become the healthiest version of yourself - When cortisol is actually good for you - The eye movement trick that could help you fall asleep - A neuroscientist’s perspective on God and religion - The simple trick that can lower blood sugar spikes One thing that really stayed with me was just how adaptable our brains are. Andrew explained that repeatedly doing things you don’t want to do can physically change an area of the brain associated with tenacity. It made me look differently at the workout I want to skip, the difficult conversation I’m avoiding and those moments where choosing discomfort might actually prepare me for whatever comes next. That’s why I enjoy conversations with Andrew. You leave with practical things you can use immediately but also ideas that change how you think about your own behaviour. This conversation definitely did that for me. I think it might for you too. Full conversation out now ❤️👊🏾

minghao v8 hong kong d2 ment 🎱 hi i'm xu minghao the8! why does it feel so hot today! [carats asking him to take it off] 🎱 i shouldn't have mentioned this word, i shouldn't have said i am hot, right. i won't take it off today. a different feeling today. is it really that much of a pity? sigh... really. friends in the back, friends over here, friends in the front. oh the friends in the front are very loud, friends on the right! friends on the left! friends in the middle! very good, very good. how is your condition today? not bad? are you tired? not tired? then in a little while there is still a segment where we will jump together. is there anyone whose legs and feet are not feeling very comfortable? there are a few people raising their hands here. then what should we do? next time when you come to this kind of live house performance, make sure you wear something comfortable. and as always, you must pay attention to safety. okay? the front is still okay, but these two sides feel a bit crowded. be a little careful, and if you feel uncomfortable, let the staff at the front know. you must take good care of yourselves, okay? how was the stage just now? i feel like you guys would just say 'good' hehe. feels like everyone's state today is a little... [carats asking him to take it off] 🎱 i say one more word and suddenly it becomes two words 'take it off'. tell me, what are you all thinking about in your heads? but as long as you're happy. are you happy now? since you're happy, then i won't take it off. then let's continue chatting about the stage just now. the first song, my solo song 'awake', was specially for this show. it was written earlier, around february this year? around february. because of the arrangement of this song, i think it is especially suitable for a live performance, including all the lights and lasers. i don't know if everyone felt it. did you? maybe the friends in the back could see it more clearly, right? then '8dm'. the mv for '8dm' also came out a few days ago. have you all watched it? almost everyone has watched it. if you haven't watched it yet, you can go back and enjoy it. this album has a lot of chinese lyrics. if there are songs like that later, please sing along together, okay? because every time i'm on stage and i see you singing along and jumping together, i really feel very, very happy and very blessed. do you feel the same? it just feels like you all look like children. although there may be gege and jiejie who are older than me, i really feel that when i am on stage and you are in the audience, enjoying that moment, you all are just like children. so i really feel this kind of energy is especially pure. so for me, i think this kind of performance is the purest way for us to interact with each other. and i'm human too, right? it's impossible.. keep listening. my energy can't always be very high, but sometimes on stage, although you usually can't tell when my energy is a little low, some people can. but as long as i see you enjoying our time together so much, my energy is immediately recharged. so actually, when i am on stage, i rely on you all a lot. so to me, this kind of pure interaction is really about relying on each other, encouraging each other, and accompanying each other. i think it is really a very lucky thing. just now.. not just now. there's a lyric in 'girlsnboys': "time has taken the boy/youth away." actually, these past two years i suddenly feel like i've had to handle many things like an adult, even though i already am an adult. adults are talking about serious matters, don't call 'baobao' (baby). i just feel that at some point, suddenly, oh.. how have i really become like an adult, handling so many things i had never dealt with before. before, maybe just being an artiste was enough. but maybe because there are many things i want to do, and many things go beyond the scope of being an artiste, i need to handle a lot of things. so actually, that lyric expresses a kind of feeling.

251129 Mingi, TOKTOQ pop live from his studio, p.2: 💬 Is there any song you’ve been listening to these days? 🐥 I’ve been trying to listen to a wide variety lately - Korean music, foreign music, all kinds of things - and I’ve been trying to understand more lately. Some songs are actually pretty hard. My crew has been showing me the songs from new artists who are doing well these days, and I listened to them recently while working, but I can’t recommend them… they’re a bit too strong. Way too strong. The lyrics are intense - how do I even describe it - there’s no way to explain it. They’re unique though. I’ll listen more and decide. How about that? 🐥 Back then - sorry - back then I used to recommend songs. But these days, if something goes wrong, it turns weird and it can become a controversy. I feel really sorry. These days if you recommend the wrong thing it becomes an issue. I think I should try to follow the flow of the times. 🐥 Honestly, with my personality, acting mature like this feels kind of scary. My personality makes everyone feel like friends to me, so because I like animation, I want to recommend anime, dramas, movies, music - everything - but these days you can’t just do whatever you want. So I feel sorry about that. I really do. My belief is wanting to stay close to fans like friends, but it feels like a line has formed, and… sometimes that makes me a bit envious. 🐥 The company didn’t tell us not to do these things; it’s just how we decided to act. Some people act very freely, and controversies can happen, but they also get closer to fans. That part is true too, but I think this way is right for me. But there’s one thing I do feel: I’m someone who shows music step by step and works hard, and we’re singers, and we show you the music we make. In that, I’m going to be honest and show you everything without hiding anything raw. 🐥 When I write lyrics it’s a bit different, but ‘ROAR’ and ‘In Your Fantasy’ - they’re both strong in different directions. Not compromising on that is cool, I think. That’s my belief. So I’ll smoothly make that for you. ‘In Your Fantasy’ is pretty strong, right? But what did I even write? For me it was just… I like gaming and that kind of vibe, and I’m good with consoles, so I wrote things like that, but why does it… why does it come off that way? You say my smirk is teasing? You say there’s a demon in my head? I don’t know, I’m really just too pure, I don’t know anything. 💬 I became an ATINY a month ago. Please give me advice. 🐥 You’ll see the comment section here. Probably many ATINYs and Mingtis will give you advice. Please give them advice. What’s the hardest thing? They say just love with all your heart? Just feel it? 🐥 Oh but this was really funny. I was on Instagram and I saw Korean fans on KGMA going, ‘Oh, it’s Mingi! (Let’s) Bark!’ and they were like ‘Ack! Ack! Ack!’ barking. I even commented. It was really funny. But the barking - anything can happen, but the way I want you to bark is ‘Ho! Ho! Ho!’ like that. But they were barking ‘Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack!’ like a maltese. It was funny though. 💬 Why do you wear glasses without lenses? 🐥 For style. When I take the glasses off, guys like me with plain faces - how do I say it - well… well… I can wear them if I want. My face looks a bit empty without them, so I need something to fill that space. 🐥 Well, I should dye my hair - I’ll do that soon. 🐥 Is there any year-end stage you want to see? ‘Man on Fire’? Okay, I’ll try to talk about it. ‘Hallazia’? ‘Desire’? ‘Dune’? What was ‘Dune’ again? ‘Dune’ (singing a part) is that right? Wow ‘Inception’? (singing a bit) that one? ‘Castle’? Right. Okay, I’ll try to bring it up. 🐥 I’m going now. Stay well. Everyone eat. Thank you. I’m leaving.

“one of us” director stefan van de graaff describes kit connor’s talent, humility, and grounded personality: zach randles-friedman: “is there anything that surprised you about kit connor, that whenever you were working with him that you were just like you hadn't, you didn't expect that?” stefan van de graaff: “yeah, this is insane. when we cast kit, it was a week and a half before we filmed, and the film is very dialogue heavy and it's written in free verse, so everything is, it's almost like pseudo kind of faux shakespearean, very performative language by design. and he stepped into this role where he's basically in every single scene and he's basically talking the entire movie.” zach: “yeah.” stefan: “he, i don't recall him missing a line.” zach: “wow.” stefan: “i don't know how he did it. i was just telling people at a, at a screener, a private screener the other night, it was like a superhuman, it was like witnessing a miracle. i don't know how he did it. he would go and he would memorize the next five pages of material the night before and he would come and he wouldn't miss a line. and that's just like, it's not normal, especially not normal for a, a script like this. so that was one thing is that he is insanely gifted. it's not just like he's one of those guys that gets, you know, yes, he's like incredibly handsome and charismatic and all those things, and there's a lot of those that kind of crawl through the ranks on, you know, on the merit of being beautiful. he is not that—or he's also that, let's say. he is also just incredibly talented in a way that i'm like, i, i, i don't know how you did that. he's also a lot taller than you might think.” zach: “how tall is he?” stefan: “he's over six feet.” zach: “oh, i did not, i thought he was like 5’8.” stefan: “no, no, no, he's, he's 6 foot, 6’1 probably. i'm 6’2 and he's, he's, he's not a small guy.” zach: “wow, that does surprise me actually, because he looks so short on tv.” stefan: “yeah, you watch heartstopper and he looks like, i think he just looks small and whatever. he's not, he's and, and then obviously he's gotten very, he's lifted a lot for a number of roles and stuff, and so like, he's big, like he's, he's a, yeah. he's a big guy and is also just incredibly, he is also real people. he is just like, you'll, he has no pretentiousness about him, just humble as can be. he's from like a small kind of borough of london. and he's just, he's just a remarkable person, really calm, really just like even-keeled, steady guy. i don't, i don't think that there's a person who, if they met him, that they couldn't like kit. i think that he's, he's just one of those types of people that you're just like, that's, that's a great person.” zach: “i love it that he's not, i love it that the fame didn't go to his head because i, there's a couple of people that just made it really big and one of them, i think it, i see them how they're acting now with like paparazzi and stuff, and i think that the fame has gone to their head, the way that they're acting now, and it's, it makes me kind of sad.” stefan: “i don't think that will ever happen with kit because i think that he will hide himself before that starts to happen. like he would sooner disappear and like act in one movie every couple of years and you're like, “where did that guy go?” than he would ever start to let that go—i would be shocked if he ever went that way, from what i know of him.” zach: “well he's been out, he's been there long enough, though if that was going to happen, i think it would have happened already too, because he's famous enough.” stefan: “absolutely.” zach: “yeah.” stefan: “and he's so young that it's like, my brain like wasn't fully formed at his age, and so for him to be behaving the way that he is as young as he is, i'm like, ok, well, it, in 10 years from now, you're not going to be any more susceptible to giving into the ego than he is today. so i think that he is like, yeah, he's a, he's a sure bet if, if, if you're gambling on what actor is going to be around for a long time and is going to have just like a really prolific career of incredible pieces of work, i—and i feel like i can say this because it was no genius on my part or anything that got him, we got really lucky to get him—and so i feel like i can comfortably say like almost as like a, as a fly on the wall in the room with him, just being very fortunate to work with him, that like he's, he's going to go really, really far and he deserves every little bit of success.” 🔗:

I'm up late with the rest of you building AI agents with the new AI browser from Genspark. We can see where this is all going: a new kind of operating system -- one that is very different than the Microsoft centric way that I've been working for 20 years. There are several things that these new agentic browsers bring to you: 1. They let you change how you browse. With an old browser like Google Chrome, you go to your email, Facebook, or X. 2. With these new browsers, you tell it where to go and what to do for you. 3. It can even build software for you. At the end of this video, I have it building me a little YouTube uploading utility, which is very helpful. 4. They have a ton of "applications" built in. Think of it as a new kind of office suite. Docs. Spreadsheets. Slide decks. And much more. All built with AI, not bolted on the side like with Microsoft's Office. 5. They have AI models built "underneath" so you can work privately and cheaply. There’s a lot of new choices you have to make with browsers like this. I’ve been playing with a bunch of them. Some have better user interfaces than others. Some have different versions, slide components, or applications. The reason I like Genspark is because they ship so fast. I’ve been watching this company since its very beginnings, and every week they ship new things. Just yesterday, they shipped a new photo editing feature for my iPhone. I upload a photo and then I can just talk to it and edit it with my voice. It's really cool. I try to reward companies that ship at such a fast rate and that are shipping innovation that improves our lives. It's not that I'm going to stop using Google Chrome. My whole life has been there for, I don't know, almost 20 years now. This is a different way of working and it gives me a space to run my AI tasks that's different than Google Chrome. I run them side by side. One doing old stuff, one doing new stuff. I can keep using Google Chrome for my old stuff, like my email and my calendar. And I use GenSpark or one of the new AI browsers to do new AI-centric things. All sorts of new things that these new agentic browsers open up! Have you tried it, or one of the other new ones yet? How has it changed your work? It takes a little time to get used to AI-centric ways of doing things. Pretend your browser is a team of interns. Give them a task, in this case I said "help me upload my videos to YouTube." You might be shocked at what Genspark does to improve your life. I am everytime I use it. Give it a try and let me know what you think! Oh, and I used another little tool to "write" this post. Typeless -- I push a button and talk and it writes. With fewer typos than I usually type in, to boot. It works great with Genspark's new browser too. Download it here:

What RFK Jr. is doing right now should scare the shit out of everyone with a brain. Especially those of us with neurodivergent minds. He’s not just talking about vaccines anymore. He’s calling ADHD, autism, Asperger’s, all of it —injuries. Something to be tracked. Something to be registered. Something to be rounded up. Let that sink in. A government autism “disease” registry. Not for help. Not for support. But for control. Keyword “disease”. You think I’m being dramatic? You think I’m paranoid? I was born in Poland in the ’70s. Back then, I couldn’t sit still. Couldn’t focus. Always in trouble. They took me to hospitals and had no fucking clue what was “wrong” with me. So the schools labeled me: lazy, bad, broken. ADHD didn’t “exist.” Autism didn’t “exist.” But I did. And I got punished for it. Now here comes RFK Jr., saying the same thing MAGA has been yelling for years: “These kids just need a spanking.” “They’re not disabled, they’re just lazy.” “They’re faking it to get disability checks.” This isn’t new. It’s how authoritarian regimes start cleansing the population. They don’t begin with bullets. They begin with labels. Registries. Dehumanization. Then they say: “We’re just protecting society from the broken ones.” That’s how it always starts. And then there’s Elon Musk, A guy who’s obviously neurodivergent himself. But he turned on us. He’s like Vader, a mind that could’ve helped free people like us, but instead joined the empire. He disowned his daughter when she transitioned. Called her dead. Since then, he’s declared war on “woke.” But what he’s really doing is waging war on neurodivergence he can’t control. He’s not fighting for free speech. He’s fighting for dominance. He’s aligning with fascists because it’s easier to control the world than to sit with the pain of being different. Elon could’ve been our ally. Instead, he became the blueprint for how neurodivergence gets weaponized against itself. And that’s the scariest part: They know we see too much. They know we don’t fall for propaganda. They know we see injustice in 4K before anyone else even notices static. And that’s why they fear us. Not because we’re weak. But because we’re dangerous to their lies. This isn’t just RFK Jr. This isn’t just Musk. This isn’t just MAGA. This is the new eugenics dressed in American flags. This is Aktion T4 2.0 — but with digital tracking and social media cover. And I’m saying it now before it’s too late: If you’re neurodivergent, autistic, ADHD, Asperger’s, whatever, you better wake the fuck up. Because this system isn’t here to help you. It’s already preparing to erase you.
