been thinking about how it’s swimming (vs drowning) and how it ties back to Sea and how now they’ve reached it after crossing the desert you still have to expand effort (swimming) to fully live

Time to listen to Path/Road again bc it’s the start of their journey

youtu.be/6UBdn1ZMG4U?...

And you know what? I'm pretty annoyed with whoever turned that into "Seven together, we can do anything. Keep swimming." The imagery of the path (길) goes all the way back to their debut and Namjoon isn't just out here saying whatever, he picks his words on purpose!! The seven of them together +

it's a continuation of his prior sentence, it's all one thought, "저희 일곱 명이 함께 이 길을 계속 걸어갈 수 있고 계속 헤엄쳐 나갈 수 있다고 생각합니다" - "I think we seven can continue walking this path together and can continue to keep swimming."

(disclaimer: I'm still learning! though I'm pretty sure I got it relatively close)

they had so many adventures in chapter 2 and often commented abt missing the others in key moments — wonder what they felt when they got into standing sequence again. 🥺💜

So much of what happens now is embarrassing. www.ap.org/media-center...

Reposting this regarding AP partnering with Kalshi because the more I think about it the more horrified I am. Corruption will seep through great swaths of the system, no matter how strict the policies, firewalls, etc. Really fighting to resist conspiracy theorizing.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

Because of new USPS rules, voters who mail registration forms near the deadline may risk being left off the rolls. One solution: requesting a manual postmark at the retail counter of a post office.

Voting rights groups sue Georgia for refusing to release voter purge records Without full access to the records, plaintiffs say they cannot determine whether eligible voters were wrongly removed.

NEW: Georgia removed nearly 471,000 voters from its rolls last summer — roughly 6% of all the state’s registered voters.

Now voting rights groups are suing, arguing the state is illegally hiding records about how the purge was carried out.

After a US-Israeli strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran, rescuers dug through the rubble for survivors. The death toll is still rising, with more than 80 confirmed dead so far.

“Taxes. They're charging the taxes they should've been charging for years. That's your answer. A lot of US states *don't* charge a sales tax on digital streams like this, while countries in Europe generally do.”

“The UK charges 20% VAT, Germany 19%, and coincidentally those are the percentages added to the base price in these screenshots”

this post sounded accurate:

(and for the US, most states actually are taxing this purchase—i think it’s bc it’s streaming vs digital purchase which may have diff rules)

A slightly older thread but I like the distinction between “author-oriented translation” vs “reader-oriented translation”. It adds more nuance to the convo surrounding translations and helps me be more clear about what I’m looking for.

Special Missions under the Tools tab

Stream BTS. A screenshot of what you see under the special missions. When you join, you and every user who participates can unlock milestones per every 400K streams

How it works Every 40 songs you stream earns you a draw. Draws unlock once the community reaches every 400.0K total streams. Each draw gives you a random photocard. No limit — the more you stream, the more you can draw.

BCD has added Special Missions so we can earn even more boy pixels through streaming. You can find the Special Missions under the Tools tab

BTS OT7 selfie posted on instagram, of them in a hallway with bright overhead lights, gathered around Hobi who's holding the camera up to a mirror to take a selfie

🧵 I want to talk about why this pic sets off my uncanny valley alarms (spoiler: I don't think it's anything Hobi did with the photo. I think it's the phone's camera itself).

It's not that the hardware on phone cameras has gotten much better in recent years. It's that they have AI software built in.

this and how they published those racist Topps cards after the Grammys, along with an affiliate link in the article so they can earn proceeds as part of the sale 🙃

remember how he said he really looks like his aunt? first thing i thought of today

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

It will very much be worth your time to read this.
