What a performance by Franco Mastantuono today. Im in awe.

Firstborn daughters may have a mean/tough demeanor; however, this is usually only a defensive mechanism because they've had to be strong for a long time. When you get to know them, you realise that they are the softest, kindest, and most loving people you will ever meet.

This might be very controversial as I see a lot of people enjoy it, but you know those Ai generated videos of babies dancing? Those ones on TikTok where the original dancer is an adult and the video is an Ai baby regenerated to replicate the dance? It puts me off. I can’t quite place my finger on it but something about those videos don’t sit well with me. Almost eerie. The facial expressions, so adult yet it’s a “baby”? Emotionally mature micro-expressions mapped onto a face that’s supposed to be pre-verbal? And it’s just… Babies are not meant to move like that. When an adult’s motor control is superimposed on a baby, there’s a visual dissonance. I don’t find it cute. It gives me uncanny vibes. This is me completely bitching, so don’t take me serious. It’s just one of those things I don’t have to complain about but I am because I don’t have real life problems. Edit: If I’m to go deep now, I’m a big sucker for micro-expressions. As an actor (and just generally as a person), I don’t just use them - I spot them. Now, when adults dance, there are specific micro-expressions that come with the movement (the eyes can say “come hither” without any words said). Eye tension, mouth tension, brow shifts… a twerk here, a squint there, a smirk there. These things convey intensity without words. Some dancers use them intentionally, others probably just pick it just because… But when a baby is superimposed onto those expressions, signaling adult agency… I don’t know what I’m supposed to feel. Why is a ‘baby’ biting its lower lip with a furrowed brow?? That’s a suggestive expression found only in adults trying to naughty.

Ladies and gentlemen we have a crisis! I'm very concerned about the quality of men out there these days… I stand to be corrected but it seems the gap between men and women in terms of quality is widening, it’s getting harder to find solid men

🧵 I like Ezra. Last week, the chief consort of a wealthy young man’s harem fearing herself in debt peonage, for which no amount of twerking was ever enough, and in a fit of jealous pique, alleged that he was cavorting with a pod of impecunious Sapphic wenches 1/

Bread selection is very very crucial in marriage oo.

This is so beautiful! He visited his childhood school to remove and replace headdress to his principal and all staffs. 🥹❤️
