When Han So Hee offered her hand in defeat actually got me cooing, it felt like a genuine surrender to his *attempts* to gain back her attention, like the hand-holding and tiny run
This but army twt version. What's an army twt tweet that's so canonical in your mind, you make shorthand reference to it, even if people might not know what you're talking about?
“This is serious stuff and we hope it goes okay.” ONE sentence that acknowledged how hard and scary all of it is. No shading. No condescension. No pro-military bullshit. If I’m crying it’s because no-one has been this kind, this empathetic, this honest, about all this.
On nights when the crowds are sparse, Imelda asks her driver to pull up to the Manila Film Centre. In the boot, there are flowers.
She lays them on the steps. Clasps a rosary.
It's been 38 years. Cement-covered men still stare at her from her bedroom ceiling.

Never forget that Namjoon sorted the Tannies into Hogwarts houses and put Jungkook in Ravenclaw rather than the expected Gryffindor! He knows!!!! He’s been trying to tell us!!!! This is our giant baby star high achiever!!!!!!
Baby Armys I cannot wait for you to meet our eldest 😭😭😭😭 He is the most chaotic energy, the loudest laugh in the room and yet ALSO somehow the steadiest pair of hands, the safest space. We are going to have the best time with him. 🥹

Worst part about this petition being filed - it was submitted yesterday, and the MHJ text messages came out AFTER.
Can you imagine how you’d feel if you put your name down on a legal document DEFENDING your mentor, only to find out she’d thrown you under the bus 😭😭😭
A millennial’s lifetime of cyber safety training and watching Catfish, only to subscribe immediately to a spam ass looking message because it said BTS 😔
From Brian Puspos 😭😭😭😭😭 I love this so much.
“Thank you JK for this full circle experience. You're a game changer but more importantly, a life changer. Iove your respect and care for everyone that shares the stage with you.” (IG brianpuspos)
Okay but can I just music nerd out for a second 🥺 For Youth has a 3/4 time signature, a waltz beat that is incredibly danceable but can also feel incomplete because it leaves that one beat hanging. Take Two is in 4/4, which makes it feel cohered and resolved.
Can we talk about how For Youth (while it’s supposed to be comforting) the sound is kind of uncertain, but with Take Two it’s like we are finally breathing that relief of fresh air. Like yes we are walking this road together still…and will be for futures to come 😭
TenAsia reports that contrary to Min Heejin’s claim that Hybe/Belift never responded to her complaint about Illit’s copying, a reply was sent to her on 22 Mar, day before the deadline she set. The reply was 6 pages of A4 paper sent via email and she confirmed receipt of the email
One day I aspire to write an essay on how the Sw!fty TM meltdown is a perfect example of how privilege is being able to say, “It’s not a problem until it’s a problem for ME, personally.”
Also, the way authorities stand to attention when it’s *certain* people complaining?
You ever just think about Namjoon singing “No.2” in one of Richard Serra’s Torqued Ellipses, how the work was inspired by a desire to create new curved spaces in an otherwise angled world, and how Joon sings “no looking back” like he’s forging a new future
THAT is a man who knows his power, and holds it with grace and dignity that belies his years - holding space and gratitude for the way we’ve seen him grow up before our eyes, but also expressing with so much gentle firmness that he is older, wiser and can handle himself. Damn.
The outfit is obviously intentional at this point - she’s trying to create a cultural moment because the moment you memeify or viralise something you create an access point for sympathy.
For people wanting to get to know Coldplay a little bit more, this is one of their earlier tracks and it almost feels TOO on the nose. It’s a beautiful comfort.
“In a bulletproof vest with the windows all closed, I'll be doing my best, I'll see you soon.”
Something that quietly underscores this entire series (so far) is the fact that if you think Kim Namjoon is a great man, you’re severely short of the mark - he isn’t just great, he is exceptional. Once-in-a-generation. There is nobody, absolutely no one, who is like him.
This is awful. John Eun, one of Namjoon’s friends and collaborators, is getting harassed in his DMs - it’s unclear whether this is connected to the mess today. IG comments are limited (thank goodness) but I wish there was a way for us to send him love.
The Kid LAROI is a proud Gamilaraay / Kamilaroi man and his efforts in supporting community are inspiring and heartfelt. I’m so happy Army are learning more about him (and Australia’s history!) today.
Seeing a few tweets calling Kid Laroi a 'white boy'. Just a heads up that he's Kamilaroi (a culture that is Aboriginal or Indigenous Australian). Calling someone white whose family was affected by the +
Really fun story about Kid Laroi: we have a local initiative called Deadly Science, which provides STEM resource to remote rural Indigenous communities. I was at a talk by the founder, Corey Tutt, and he said one of his keenest participating students was Kid Laroi 🥹
POV you asked your nice co-worker to be your fake boyfriend for Christmas family dinner and he turns up in this magnificent Christmas sweater and oh no you might be in love
I think about this cover a lot. And everything they gave of themselves in the pandemic when they felt like their plans were falling apart, when they were suffering as much as we were. That’s why we stay.
#WeAreForeverBulletproof
The clean lines, the deliberate sparseness, the strategic use of negative space, the cinematic shots that contextualise Joon within a huge, breathtaking landscape... it's like an artist finding himself anew in an elevated consciousness of himself and the world.
Watch this carefully. If Hybe are fighting with facts and receipts, she is fighting with theatre and narrative. And for a time, it will appear that she is winning, that she’s giving one hell of a show. But remember, too, that every show must end. This will run out of gas soon.
Min Heejin is said to be sincere about promoting New Jeans as she appeared in an outfit at the press conference similar to the styling of Minji in one of the New Jeans promotional photos. Min Heejin look is sold out at a lot of shopping malls
The way “Closer Than This” evokes the feeling of a scrapbook your best friend made for you and all your best memories over the years - ticket stubs, photos, letters, pressed flowers, magazine cutouts, stamps. All the artefacts of a lived-in love.
So when For Youth dropped, it spoke beautifully and comfortingly into that space of uncertainty we were all in. Like, yes, things feel weird, but let’s dance anyway.
Take Two is a breath of relief. Chapter 1 is closed and complete, here’s the beginning of Chapter 2.
It has been confirmed that the parents of the NewJeans members have filed a petition with the court represented by attorney Kang Jinseok who is known to specialize in entertainment disputes.
When asked whether this would signal the parents’ intent
I’ve been wanting to get this off my chest.
About 10yrs ago, I became part of an NGO started after Haiyan ravaged the Philippines. Our main focus was partnering with and supporting programs that were already integrated into communities focusing on education, aid, infrastructure.

Wild take, but anyone who didn’t pick Friday Night Lights... has not seen Friday Night Lights.
The most perfect 5-season run, with arguably the best conclusion out of all these shows. Transcends the genre.
Nah, but can you imagine? Being stuck in a barracks somewhere and knowing that the work you had poured your heart and soul and fire into has done something historical and unprecedented, all while you had been absent from public view. This is why we work.
An interesting definition here for the phrase “Type 1”! With the lyrics on the poster evidently being lifted from Scenery, the title seems to also be referring to photography.
Ahhh Kim Taehyung I can’t wait 🥹🥹🥹
