Still sitting with yesterday’s post… it hit deeper than I expected. When I picture the angry driver, the cold coworker, the friend who ghosts — I see the scared 5-year-old they used to be, still waiting for someone to keep them safe. Suddenly everything clicks. The armor, the snapping,...

This is San Francisco in 1985. I miss my grandparents. I miss all of my family who are no longer here. When my grandparents came to visit, we would go to SFO to pick them up, and no one was ever happier to see me than they were. This was back when you could walk right up to the gate. I was always excited to see if this would be the year I was finally taller than my grandma. Having them in town was the best. The meals my grandma cooked for us were amazing, and their stories were always just as great. We would take them to San Francisco and do all the touristy stuff like North Beach and Fisherman’s Wharf, but none of that really mattered. What mattered was that we were all together. They’ve been gone for years now, but I think of them often. I wonder what it would have been like to talk to them as an adult, to connect in a different way than I could as a kid. I guess life isn't really designed that way for everyone, to grow up and have those deeper conversations, to understand who they were beyond being your grandparents. But I have gotten to know them in new ways, through old photos, home movies, and the stories other family members have shared with me. It amazes me to think of the full lives they both lived long before I was ever born. If you still have your grandparents, give them a call. Say hello. Learn as much as you can from them while you still can.

The Miz on not being casted as Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 2. “I went out on every interview and every time someone asked me about this question, I would say, ‘I want to be Johnny Cage. I want to be Johnny Cage.’ I never got an audition, which is fine. I mean, maybe they just didn’t see me as the character, And then I heard Karl Urban got it, and I was like, ‘Wow.’ And people were like, ‘Are you mad? Are you angry?’ And it’s like, I never get mad or angry when someone else gets a part that I want.”

“Who made rap.” These are the videos that got me banned from YouTube. And you can clearly see I wasn’t full of “hate” just “facts.” Yes back then I was still drinking white claw and a bit freaked out but I was ahead of the curve and I did burn my career and name in the entertainment industry that I was very successful in to tell the truth. And I had little kids at the time who relied on me. And we made it thru and are all doing really good now. It strengthened my faith to see us not crumble as the world around me went crazy, but thrive. So thank you all who Stuck with me. What a ride! It’s crazy this is now public knowledge. So grateful.

I had a conversation with a boy I used to know. I had a conversation with I child I used to know I had a conversation with the soul that believed just because you sounded sincere. I missed him, i miss me. It’s painful when you realise that you can’t hug someone who loved you before you knew what love means. Someone who believes in you so confidently that he was certain you’d not fail him. Ooh yes it’s painful you can’t hug me, but i think that’s for the best… because tell me how would i survive it, when or if that innocent beautiful child runs to me with open arms for a hug, how would I survive it, m knowing he would probably still forgive, with all the broken promises, and dreams that are still dreams. How would I survive it when even despite all this he’d still believe in me. With tears in my eyes I scream to the universe….. oooh how would I survive it. So I’m grateful for the fact I can’t hug the boy i used to be. But hopefully I’d be able to one day someday and when I do, I’d say thank you, thank you, thank you. For your dreams thank you, for your faith thank you, I finally did it, we finally did it. We became everything that defines greatness, we became everything that defines gratitude. We saw existence and kissed it on its face. I AM JUST A SOUL LOST IN THE MADNESS OF AN ENDLESS INSANITY babbling a bunch of nonsense

When I saw the mask "Tribes of the Calf" from Kanbas I knew I had to make it into reality. The jewelry and gold really made it stand out for me. Since Sam Spratt's The Masquerade was revealed, I have been spending time sculpting and dissecting the mask to recreate it in 3D as faithfully as possible. I delved into the creation of this mask for many reasons. I love a good challenge and this mask surely was one for me. Creating something in 3D from a 2D image is not easy, and especially when the source has generative nature, some stuff is hard to interpret, but I tried my best to make sure the visual integrity of the mask is as close to the original as possible. Splitting the whole mask into parts, filling the missing pieces so I can build the textures was quite a lot of work. I tried to present the mask in my own style with a slightly different colorway to adapt to the mask itself. Please enjoy this short animation, and turn on sound🔊 This piece is my statement that I am here to stay. That I have a voice that often feels being lost in the void. That I have been creating and posting digital art for over 20 years now and will continue until I'm gone. I have a story to tell and I want to be heard. The space we have here is small, and is shrinking day by day. It doesn't have to be like that. We need to support each other and push ourselves and people here, otherwise we are all doomed. As Kanbas has put in their observation of the mask: "Inspirational. Emotional. Natural." This is what our space can be, and this is me making a statement with this homage. I will share a 4k still below as well as a short video showing the 3D GLB interactive model together with a yt link to the 4k video since compression here is pretty bad.

Scammers exist everywhere and they are. Reason I am not as charitable to strangers as I was used to be. I remember there used to be this woman who held a sign by the freeway and every time I went by it said that she was pregnant and every bit helps. I once gave her money because I felt bad for her. But she’s been there for the last 5 years, if true then she’s been perpetually pregnant for 5 years. I have a feeling it’s not true because why would anybody keep having kids if they were homeless? It doesn’t make sense to me. Can’t we all agree that using CB listen as part of a scam is the lowest of the low?

Seth Rogen says waiting 20 minutes for a table makes him doubt his own talent “And it’s like, if I go to a restaurant and I have to wait 20 minutes for a table, instead of them just seating me right away as they are the famous person next to me, is it because I’m not as talented or as good as I thought I was?” “If I’m trying to get into a party and they don’t just let me in and I have to wait in line, does that mean I’m not as good a writer as I thought I was?” “If I’m not getting a deal, if I’m not getting the best hotel room, and I go next door and someone has a nicer hotel room than me on the press tour, does that mean I am not as good an actor as I thought I was?” “And I think that is how a lot of famous people interpret how they’re treated. And they think that if they’re not getting the best treatment, they aren’t as skilled as they wish they were, as they thought they were.” “And that was a thing that I realized when I read that. It’s like, oh, it is tapping into some deep part of me that makes me worried I’m not as talented as I want to be, as I wish I was. And that’s it.”

After a lifetime dedicated to racing, 2026 will mark my final season as a professional racing driver. Not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a new chapter. Motorsport has been my life for as long as I can remember. It gave me discipline and grit before I knew why I needed them, and purpose in moments when the road ahead was far from clear. From the suburbs of São Paulo to Monaco, racing shaped my life in ways I could never have imagined. It changed me profoundly as a driver, as a person, as a father, and as a human being. I gave everything I had to this sport, and in return, it gave me a life beyond anything I could have dreamed of. I am deeply grateful to my family, who supported me from day zero. Every sacrifice, every difficult decision, every moment away from home since I was 17 years old, every victory, and every defeat was carried together with them. Without their love, patience, and belief, none of this would have been possible. I have a wonderful wife and children who helped me make this decision. A very special thank you to Formula E, where I have spent the last fourteen years surrounded by extraordinary people—people who started writing on napkins and created an amazing championship, and whom I now consider family. Formula E is my home, and my home is Formula E. This decision comes with emotion, but also with peace. Every great race has a final lap, and I want mine to be driven with the same intensity, commitment, and love that brought me here. I will give everything in my final races in 2026. The future is bright, and I will share more news with you soon.

Gillian Anderson says she lied about her age to land The X-Files because she was too young for the role "I said I was 27, 'cause the character was 27" "To begin with, I thought there was no way in hell they were going to cast me anyway, because I had done nothing before" "And this was going to be a very big show, or they were hoping it was going to be a big show, and it was." "But putting the responsibility of a professional onto the shoulders of a 24-year-old with no experience, in my head, seemed just so outlandish that maybe they would do that for a 27-year-old with no experience." "I don't know. So I said I was 27, like the character, and I don't know if that contributed to doing the trick, but it didn't cross my mind that I shouldn't or wouldn't lie to them, because I wanted the job."

Walton Goggins tells Tarantino he's not leaving the audition room — 'Getting the job is irrelevant to me' “I said: I'm not leaving. He said: what do you mean? I said: I want to read all of these roles. He said: what are you talking about? I said: getting the job is irrelevant to me.” “Quentin read every other role as if he was filming it. And then I read Leo's role and he read every other role as if we were filming it — and it was one of the greatest days of my life as an artist.” “A couple of months go by — and I get a call that he wants me to come and play with him. And that was the beginning of two of the greatest experiences of my life.”

Platner: Redemption is not just some simple or easy destination. It's a journey. I've made mistakes in my life. Mistakes that I regret, that I live with and that I continue to learn from. And I'm still far from perfect. But every day I wake up and I try to be a little bit better and a little bit kinder than I was before. And if you give me the chance, I will be a senator for the people who cannot afford to buy a senator

5 years ago today, life as I knew it vanished: a cascade of symptoms I couldn’t name, days that blurred into months. A body that betrayed me. Hope that turned into confusion. I was a wife, a mom and I believed in the promise of science. I rolled up my sleeve and got my shot not because I thought I was invincible, but because I believed in contributing to something bigger than myself. If I could, I would never wish this on anyone. 2025 has been the hardest year yet. Promises made. Yet the door to healing never opened. Month after month, I find myself asking: Was all of this for nothing? Has it all been in vain? Then last weekend, kindly invited me to the 5th Annual Brownstone Event. What I expected to be a simple gathering of like-minded people turned into something unexpected. Jay Bhattacharya and closed out the event reminding us of the beautiful community in which we now find ourselves, forged through the last 5 years. Reminding us of the priceless wisdom we have gained and the importance of continuing to make sure these injustices never happen again. Finally after a closing prayer by Fr. John Naugle, the entire room fell silent, literally left speechless, moved and changed. Grief and uncertainty, was replaced with purpose, resolve, and love of country and our fellow humans. Both of these men reminded me that this is anything but senseless. Even in the wreckage, there is purpose. Our suffering bears witness to truth, to courage, and to the power of human spirit. That hollow space that’s grown in me this past year, created by disappointment and uncertainty, filled again. Not with answers, but with a renewed sense of meaning. A reminder that light still exists, and that what we’ve endured can still serve something greater than ourselves. I still don’t have the answers. But I’ve learned that meaning doesn’t come after the pain, it’s something we create through it. Every act of kindness, every conversation, the community we build, that’s how we fight back. 5 years later here I am. Still breathing. Still fighting. Still striving to turn this brutal chapter into change. To everyone walking (and rolling) this road with me: I see you. I’m proud of you. And I’ll keep fighting with you. Here’s to meaning. Here’s to hope: exactly how fragile, exactly how stubborn, and exactly how alive it needs to be.

The reason Mark become confidence in his decision: That kind of thing was so precious to me. Just the fact that there was something I wanted to accomplish even if I put aside everything that made me feel safe, even money and all that, felt incredibly precious. I’ve always had this desire to be good at everything, to be the very best, so honestly, every day when I wake up, I’m just like, “I want to live today as the best I can,” with that kind of mindset. As someone who lives like that, I started wondering what the standard for “the best” is, and then, what my greatest dream is. And as everything connected, what is the greatest something I can leave behind in this life, in this world I thought, then for this greatest dream that I believe in, I should go all in with the greatest effort and the greatest focus, something like that.

Here’s Rivers’ full confession from tonight’s LUX TOUR Confessional with ROSALÍA: “When I was in high school, there was a boy I really liked. We talked, but we were ‘just friends,’ and as time went by, we got to know each other more. He would ask me out, and it started becoming something more. Then, one day, he told me he liked me and felt the same way. I was so excited, so hopeful. His birthday was coming up, and there was going to be Pal Norte, a festival here. I spent months saving money to take him to the festival. I even did raffles and everything, because I was 13 or 14 years old. When his birthday finally came, I had prepared a surprise for him, organized everything, and planned a special moment. When I gave him the gift, he saw what it was and got kind of weird. Then he told me, ‘Oh, it’s just that I have a family commitment,’ or whatever. Something like that. But he had been saying for months that he wanted to go, so it didn’t make any sense. I said, ‘Okay, fine, nothing happened.’ Since I had the extra tickets, I told a friend, ‘This is your opportunity, come with me.’ She was going to the festival too, so we went together. We were about to leave when, guess who I ran into at the festival? Him. With someone else, all cuddled up, and I think they were holding hands. And the worst part? Do you know who it was? A classmate. After that, I didn’t want anything to do with ‘Nati’ and I hated everyone for a long time. I spent several years not trusting anyone and not wanting to meet people in that way. But it was an experience, and eventually I realized it didn’t have to be that way.”

We were about to leave when, guess who I ran into at the festival? Him. With someone else, all cuddled up, and I think they were holding hands. And the worst part? Do you know who it was? A classmate. After that, I didn’t want anything to do with ‘Nati’ and I hated everyone for a long time. I spent several years not trusting anyone and not wanting to meet people in that way. But it was an experience, and eventually I realized it didn’t have to be that way.”

Souls accustomed to anxiety think that reassurance is a trap.. In the darkness of my days, I was never as weak as I thought; I was being reshaped. I realized that pain didn't come to break me, but to reveal the strength I had forgotten within me Every fall was a path toward deeper resilience, and every ache was a lesson in silent endurance. I learned that light is not given, it is created from within—when the heart refuses to surrender. And in the end, I understood that darkness was never my enemy, but my teacher—the one who taught me that true strength is born when you learn to light your own way.. My dear friends... This is Mo... This is Gaza... A ceasefire has been declared, and the war has stopped, but the reality has not changed. We are still lost. Houses are destroyed, and most people live in tents. We cannot live properly. We are struggling to adapt to life after the war, as if the war has not yet ended. Silence has replaced the bombing, and Gaza is quiet, as if it were a ghost town.. I went back home. I was shocked by what happened on Galaa Street and Nasr Street. Nothing was left there.. My house is still standing, but it needs some rebuilding. There's rubble in the garden. There's gunpowder, too. There's damage to the sewage pipes and internet cables... I took the solar panels with me. If I hadn't taken them, they would have been destroyed. The technician will install them again, and the plumber will come to fix the sewage pipes and install the barrels.. I have a hard week ahead of me to fix everything that's been damaged in my house... but I'm satisfied... satisfied because I'm lucky to still have a home.. The saddest news is that the cat shelter was completely destroyed... and unfortunately some of the cats escaped... only 13 cats remain... How cruel war is.. I had 65 cats two years ago and by the end of the war I had 13 cats.. What is the fault of these innocent souls? But the war is over... and together we can rebuild everything... Everything will be better than before... Everyone who knows me knows I can get through it... I've been through worse and tougher times and I got through it.. In the video below, I'm on my truck journey from south to north. The photos below show one of the rubble that collapsed on a house. Other photos show some of the cats that survived the genocide.. Dear friends, I need you to rebuild what the war has destroyed. I don't want to fix everything. I want to fix what allows me to live, because the prices are ridiculous... I want to buy sewer pipes, bring in a plumber, install septic tanks, install solar panels, and repair the damaged brick roof so that rain doesn't run into my house. I also want to build a beautiful, cozy shelter for the cats and provide them with love and warmth .. I need your support to start over and my cat, my family and I would be very grateful to you.. And at the end of this strange journey, we came away with some lessons, some wounds, and a lot, a lot of pain. Thank you for listening, and thank you for your moral support, and thank you for standing by me throughout the past two years. Love you all, my friends.

"I'm very grateful towards everyone. when I first saw the script, as an actress, there were definitely heart palpitations... I might be criticised very badly (because of how xu yan might be perceived as a scheming evil woman) but when I read the script, I was really very moved... my heart aches a lot for xu yan. at that moment, I felt a strong sense of empathy for that character. I also feel that there was an assimilation (of the character and myself) I was just thinking, that even if xu yan weren't the first female lead of the drama... if she were the second or third female lead, I would've still been willing to portray her role. she's able to convey the message that I hope to express. so irregardless of how "major" or "minor" her character is, I would've still wanted to bring this character, xu yan, to the audience. it was just something I hoped to do what I didn't expect was that everyone quite like this character and many people actually support her. so I've actually dispelled my (worries). it was just like cheng shaoshang (love like the galaxy) from the past... when I used to be the only one who really pitied her. but of course, it's been more than 2 years now and everyone is now able to stand for women. so I'm very grateful and happy that my character is gaining love beyond the screen" 🩷 #ZhaoLusi #LovesAmbition

Rafa Nadal & Roger Federer were asked how they want to be remembered in a new campaign for Louis Vuitton Rafa: “At the end what will make me feel proud and happy is when I leave this world, if the tournament directors, the people who work at the tournaments, staff, ATP, say good things about who I was on the tour, or who I am as a person more than a tennis player. Because as a tennis player, at the end, we have the titles, we have the achievements and that's how it is. I achieved more than what I ever dreamed of. So for me at the end, the legacy in terms of a human being, after achieving all the things that we achieved, for me is the most important thing.” ❤️ Roger: “I hope if I'm remembered not only as a tennis player, but as a person behind what I gave to the game and what I represented to the game, and it was less about all my Wimbledon victories or whatever it was, that would mean a lot to me. If I can be remembered more as the personality rather than just a player, that would be great. And if I was a good role model for kids, that would make me happy too… And it would be nice, like Rafa said, if the people are happy to see us again. Not like ‘oh no, that guy again,’” 😂 These two. 🥹
