BTS should add a DJ set to the concert. Have them play at the start of the concert to hype up everyone and in between sets to keep the energy going. It would elevate it even more. Had a great time at the Arirang concert, but something I noticed that could have elevated it.
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show officially becomes the most watched Halftime Show of all time with 135.4 million viewers, breaking the all-time record.
@DoorDash is so limiting in options when it comes to reporting. My delivery was delivered to the wrong address. I know it got delivered. But it wasn't to mine.

Saying "America is back" while the stock market is crumbling, unemployment is rising, the costs of living is increasing, veterans are getting fired and democracy is falling...Trump what is America back from?
Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland and Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware have both won their elections and are poised to become U.S. senators, marking a watershed moment in American political history. When sworn in in January 2025, their simultaneous service would shatter a 235-year barrier in an institution that has historically been dominated by white men.
This achievement represents more than symbolic progress. Both candidates bring unique perspectives and experiences to the Senate. Blunt Rochester is currently Delaware's lone U.S. House representative and has served in the state’s Departments of Health and Labor prior to entering Congress; her political career has focused on addressing disparities in health care and student loan debt that disproportionately affect Black women. Meanwhile, Alsobrooks, serving as Prince George's County executive in Maryland, brings extensive experience in local governance and criminal justice reform.
Their wins will inspire a new generation of Black women to pursue political office. Currently, only three Black women have ever served in the Senate — Carol Moseley Braun (D-IL), Kamala Harris (D-CA), and Laphonza Butler (D-CA), who was appointed to her seat by CA Gov. Gavin Newsom following the death of long-term Sen. Dianne Feinstein. This underrepresentation has persisted despite Black women being a crucial voting bloc in American politics.
The arrival of Alsobrooks and Blunt Rochester to the Senate could significantly influence policy discussions on issues ranging from maternal health to economic equality, bringing previously underrepresented perspectives to one of the nation's most powerful legislative bodies.
I also think the “a woman can’t run a country” thing is kinda stupid simple based off the fact that it’s been solely ran by men and look at where we are now
i don’t follow the “respect is earned” philosophy. i respect everyone naturally and then each person has the opportunity to lose my respect based on their behaviour. that’s it
