#junniorrs #markjrtn #JuniorMark I've written it again! If you like it, please let me know what you think💕🙏 （Inspired by "L'OrealRaffiaCushion x JuniorMark". A morning moment for two...） ■Being happy. Total Words：6,738 POV：Junior and Markji ↓ ↓ 【POV：Junior】 The bedside clock showed it was still too early to get up. But if I fell asleep again, I probably wouldn't wake up for a while. The feeling of our bare skin touching, perhaps because we were sharing warmth under a single blanket, was comforting. As I stroked his smooth back, he turned over in his sleep beside me. At that moment, the weight on my left arm made me smile uncontrollably. His sleeping face was angelic; I could gaze at it forever. With the corners of my mouth still turned up, I stroked his head, and his long eyelashes slowly began to blink. "Good morning, Nong." "...Mm..." "It's still early, want to sleep a little longer?" "No... Good morning... Phi." His eyes were still drowsy. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the moisture that reminded me of last night's lovemaking. As if he could see through my feelings, he chuckled softly. "Hehe, ...what is it?" "Hmm... I just thought Bee is really cute." "That was from yesterday. Did you like it?" "Yeah. ...Look, Mark too." "...Hmm?" "Hey, there's no need to be embarrassed now." I gave him a loud kiss on the thick lips in front of me, and he smiled shyly, looking somewhat resigned. "You're cute too, ...tee." Ah, calling me that in this situation is not good. Even though I was the one who urged him, I'm more excited than I expected, and I desperately want him right now. "...Hey, Bee?" Perhaps sensing the situation from the changed atmosphere and tone of voice, I held him tightly as he tried to break free from my arms. I wrapped my legs around his long, slender legs, making sure he couldn't escape anywhere. Seeing his lack of resistance, I took advantage of the situation and our lips met again, and before I knew it, we were biting each other's lips. As I extended my tongue to follow the breath escaping from between his lips, his eyes opened for a moment, then slowly closed again. What a beautiful sight it was. Finally, after ending the kiss with a soft sound, he relaxed and looked at me. "You really are something..." "Well, if I had such a cute and beautiful lover in front of me, I'd want to kiss him anytime, wouldn't I?" "...You're quite the smooth talker." "By the way, what's next..." Just as I was about to say that much, he lightly slapped my arm. "We did it yesterday too, didn't we?" "I can still try." "You don't have to try. I have to stand in front of everyone again this morning, and if I do any more, I won't be able to stand." "You can just sit there." "...No means no, be patient." "Ehhhhhhh," He finally slipped out not only from my arms, but also from the blanket. The empty space beside me felt lonely. He put on the shirt that had fallen and walked off towards the shower room. I watched him silently, and then he slowly turned back to me. "So, aren't we going to shower together, tee?" At those words, he disappeared into the shower room without giving a proper reply, and I hurried after him. （＋）

Day 9 of tweeting at @DanhausenAD until he lifts the MN sports curse. @SummerSlam If Danhausen really wants to prove how well his curses work… Minnesota is the ONLY place to be. We can talk New York but that’s nothing compared to MN.

Castle with a -21 on the series Harper with 15 assists in 5 games Vassell and Champagnie numbers bad too Some nasty work going on in San Antonio to paint this all on Fox

Football isn't just a game: it’s raw passion, national pride, and an energy that brings the whole world to its feet. The sport has a unique pull: it attracts hearts that beat in team colors & draws in beauty alongside noise; proving it’s the spirit fan who shows up for the game.

de' aaron fox...go to hell. he was the main reason for this series being like this. veteran my ass. if he was even 60% of the player he was in sacremento, that would've been enough to bridge the gap

idk why folks are surprised fever's got a good thing going, newsflash: winning is like, a thing teams do

sometimes the hardest part of moving on isn't the memories of them, but the memories of the version of myself i created without them, the one who laughed a little quieter and loved a little more cautiously

When Shreyas says something is worth watching, you watch it. :) So I blocked off an hour and a half and went through the whole Brian Chesky episode. Here is everything that was discussed; It starts with a skinny kid who was bad at hockey. His dad wanted him to be a hockey player. He hit puberty late, dropped from the top line to the bottom, and that dream died. Around the same time an art teacher told his parents he was going to be a famous artist. He never became one, but that belief set the whole path. He went to art school instead. At design school he learned that a design only counts if people actually use it. An architect can win awards for a building nobody rents. A product nobody buys is just a failure. So you are forced to think about the person, the price, and the building of it all at once. A project he did was a breathing machine for a sick child. He had to imagine being a scared six year old looking up at it, a terrified parent at the bed, and a nurse who secretly liked being the only one who could run the complicated product. He pointed out that in design there are no PMs. The designer is the PM. Then he built Airbnb, and he built it for love, not money. He jokes that if he wanted to get rich he would have picked a better idea than air bed and breakfast. They started with 100 users in one city, New York. Paul Graham looked at him sitting in California and said your users are in New York, what are you doing here, go knock on their doors. So he did. That is where his biggest building rule was born. Make the problem as small as possible. Do not try to please a million people you can never talk to. Get 100 people to truly love it first, because once 100 love something, 100 million follow. For a while it worked beautifully. And then success quietly became a curse. The applause turned into a drug. He needed a bigger hit each time to feel anything. He called it a cup with a hole in the bottom. You keep pouring praise in thinking it is love, and it just keeps draining out. Meanwhile the company swelled to 7,000 people, and he lost the wheel. He said he felt like he was driving a car with no steering wheel. He would say turn left and the company turned right. He even had a dream that someone had run his company into the ground over ten years, and then realised the someone was him. He admitted it out loud, that he was a great founder but for years a shaky CEO, too soft to remove people who were not working. Then covid hit and Airbnb lost 80 percent of its business in eight weeks. That near death moment is the turning point of the whole story. He stopped drifting. He took back control of every single detail and worked 100 hour weeks for two to three years. That is what people now call founder mode. His point was never to micromanage forever. It was to understand his company deeply first, then hand power out slowly. He compared it to golf. You want the coach watching your swing early, before you build bad habits. Most founders do the opposite. They let go too early and step in too late. Founder mode also changed how he saw managers. You manage people through the work, not by being their therapist in endless one on ones. He thinks pure people managers, the ones who only manage and never touch the actual work, do not survive the AI age. Once he understood the company, he started rebuilding it with tiny teams. Ten to twelve people, run like a little startup, like Navy Seals. One small team working only on the booking flow added 200 million dollars in a single year. This is where he started his most fun idea. The 11 star experience. On Airbnb everyone leaves five stars, so five stars tells you nothing. So he imagines six, seven, all the way to eleven. Six stars is wine and a handwritten note waiting for you. Eight is an elephant parade in your honour. Ten is Elon flying you to space. Pushing it that absurd suddenly makes a six star experience feel normal, and that gap between five and six is the difference between you and a competitor. After the company was stable, the story turns back to where it began. Love. Airbnb went public at 100 billion dollars. One of the best days of his life. The next morning he woke up in sweatpants on a Zoom call and felt completely empty. That emptiness made him let go of chasing applause. He went back to building like a kid making things for himself, just for the joy of it. And now he is writing the last chapter, the AI one. He thinks AI needs an even more intense version of founder mode, because now you can see everything on demand and go even deeper. He pointed out that almost all AI today is built for businesses, not regular people. In the last Y Combinator batch, 159 of 175 startups were enterprise. He is betting on a consumer AI boom in the next one to two years, because almost no app on your phone has truly changed yet. His next move for Airbnb flows from that. Stop being about homes, start being about people. Picture a person in the middle with 50 things around them, homes, experiences, services, maybe flights. He wants to own the most trusted identity profile on the internet, in a world full of AI fakes. Underneath all of it is one belief about founders. They are not really visionaries. They are expeditionaries, just putting one foot in front of the other and calling it a vision later. He used Disney to explain why staying in founder mode matters. You can name plenty of Disney movies, but probably not one MGM or Paramount film. Walt Disney's taste was baked so deep that the company still runs on it almost 60 years after Walt died. So his advice is that if you want a company to last 100 years, keep your hands on it as long as you can, do not let go early. As a result, he never delegates is hiring. The more time he spends finding great people, the less time he wastes managing them. He does not use search firms. He just keeps meeting people, asks each one who else is great, and builds a long list over years. He even says your first hire should be a recruiter, not an engineer. The story ends where it started, with belief. When asked the kindest thing anyone ever did for him, he did not say money or a break. He said people believing in him. The art teacher at 16. Paul Graham funding him even though he was not an engineer and even thought the idea was bad. His co-founders. He quoted coach John Wooden, who said his real gift was seeing potential in players that they could not see in themselves. So when Chesky tells someone their work is not good enough, he means the opposite of an insult. He means he knows they can do more. That is the whole story then. A kid who was told he was good, who built something for love, lost himself in the applause, almost lost the company, took it back, and found his way back to building for the joy of it. Shreyas was right. The podcast is worth every minute in gold. :)

FACT CHECK: Gabbard’s claimed “never before seen intelligence” exposing US funding for “more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine,” tied to dangerous gain-of-function (GOF) research, Biden/Fauci cover-ups & lies, and support for Trump’s GOF Executive Order. Declassified slides heavily focused on Ukraine with loaded “BW Pathogens” language deliberately created to imply something sinister. Kernels of truth, but heavy misinformation & misleading framing: Accurate: The US via DTRA’s Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP/CTR) spent ~$200M since 2005 upgrading ~46 Ukrainian labs, diagnostic & veterinary sites for biosecurity… securing Soviet-era pathogen collections (anthrax, plague, tularemia etc.), improving safety, and disease surveillance. The broader program spans 30 countries with total facilities plausibly over 120. These are bipartisan, long-public efforts (DoD fact sheets from years ago). Misinfo/exaggeration: “Never before seen” is hype… Ukraine details were public in 2022. No solid evidence in the slides for major “dangerous GOF” (just routine surveillance/genome work, training, inventory). The release accuses prior admins of lying about labs that DoD openly confirmed existed while correctly rejecting Russian “US bioweapons” claims. These were Ukrainian-owned public health facilities, not secret US offensive labs. America ended its offensive BW program in 1969 and follows the BWC. This repackages known defensive threat-reduction work into conspiratorial framing that she deliberately blurs biosafety with sinister intent. It directly revives 2022 Russian disinformation tropes (US “biolabs” as bioweapons/ethnic weapons to justify invasion) under the guise of transparency. No proof of BWC violations or offensive US activity. What this says about Gabbard’s character & motivations: Releasing this hyped “truth bomb” in her final days (resigning amid personal reasons prior Iran policy tensions with Trump), with heavy Ukraine focus, exposes ideological rigidity, confirmation bias, political opportunism, and reckless prioritization of personal narrative over national interest. Gabbard has a consistent pattern of skepticism toward US Ukraine aid and openness to Kremlin-overlapping narratives (e.g. her 2022 “extreme concern” about these very labs). As DNI with full access to the intelligence picture, she knew… or should have known… the defensive context. Yet she chose sensational timing, selective declassification, and domestic attacks on Biden/Fauci/“deep state.” This reveals: • Confirmation bias & intellectual dishonesty: Elevating anti-interventionist/America First priors above precise assessment. Legit GOF and biosafety concerns deserve real oversight — conflating them with recycled public programs for effect does not. • Opportunism & self-image: Burnishes her “outsider truth-teller” brand for the populist base, settles scores with establishment critics who called her Russia-adjacent, and distracts from a reportedly rocky DNI tenure. • Reckless disregard: Hands Putin immediate propaganda wins (“They admitted the labs!”) during active war, undermining US credibility, Ukraine support, and the biosecurity vs biowarfare distinction. A responsible top intelligence official weighs geopolitical consequences. This fails badly… suggesting naivety or indifference when it serves her worldview. Bottom line: Gabbard comes across as driven more by grievance, ideological crusading, and political positioning than by dispassionate public service or institutional duty. Serious lab oversight matters. This delivery… sensationalising known defensive programs into a cover-up narrative at this timing… is counterproductive theater that damages intelligence trust and bolsters adversaries. Not authoritative transparency. It reveals flawed judgment. #FactCheck #Fact_Check #Misinformation #Dni #Tulsi #TulsiGabbard

i don't know what's more wild, the valuation or the fact that elon musk is making space rich people richer 😂

i remember the nights i'd lie awake, listening for the sound of your car outside, the expectation of hearing you whisper my name in your sleep. it's funny how your absence became a lullaby, one i'd desperately cling to even after it was clear you were gone.

Acho, SÓ ACHO, que o Ancelotti deveria olhar as tarólogas do Twitter. Todas nós vimos a dificuldade e ele poderia resolver mexendo no ataque e meio de campo, mas deixou as melhores opções de fora. Podemos fazer nada se ele não optou por usar o Endrick, por exemplo. Mas CONFIEM. Vai surpreender. #fifaworldcup #braxmar #CopaNaCazéTV #CopadoMundoFIFA

Happy Birthday to 12 years i spent with you all. The inspirations of my life. I love you with my whole chest.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: CONSIDER MY SERVANT JOB There’s a verse in the Bible that has bothered me for years. Honestly, bothered isn’t even the right word. It’s caused me to wrestle with God, question things, and search for understanding. It’s found in the first chapter of the book of Job. God and Satan are having a conversation, and God says something that stopped me in my tracks: “Have you considered My servant Job?” — Job 1:8 For years I asked, “Lord, why would You say that? Why would You allow Job to go through everything that followed?” I begged God to show me what I was missing. And over time, I believe He did. Every valley you walk through is not a curse. And every mountaintop is not necessarily the victory you think it is. If Job had never lost everything… If Job had never suffered… If Job had never walked through the fire… He never would have understood the goodness, faithfulness, and provision of God the way he eventually did. The truth is, depth is often born in suffering. If you’ve never been through anything difficult, your understanding of God can remain shallow. Pain has a way of teaching lessons that comfort never could. I’ve been through some hard things in my life. Things I never would have chosen. Things I prayed would pass. And more than once I’ve asked God, “Why?” Then I remember God’s response to Job: “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?” — Job 38:4 In other words, the creation doesn’t fully understand what the Creator is doing. God sees the beginning, the middle, and the end all at once. He sees what we cannot see. When God said, “Consider My servant Job,” He already knew the outcome. He knew the suffering. He knew the restoration. He knew the testimony that would come from the trial. Today I can honestly thank God for some of the hardest seasons of my life. Not because they were enjoyable. Not because I would want to relive them. But because I wouldn’t be the man I am today without them. I wanted a smooth road. I wanted the gravy train. I wanted easy. But God had something deeper in mind. Sometimes He allows us to walk through rough places so that one day we can go back and help someone else find their way through. If you’re in a valley today, don’t lose heart. God hasn’t abandoned you. The same God who walks with you into the storm will walk with you out of it. There is another side. And when you get there, you’ll discover that God was faithful every step of the way. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” — Romans 8:28 Much love, Patrick Remember: You’re one of a kind. You’re a masterpiece.
