When you’re too available, people stop valuing you.

No disrespect to the others… but Christopher Reeve set the standard for Superman and nobody’s touched it since. Agree or disagree?

91% of people are no longer friends with someone they called their "best friend."

For your own sanity, let things be.

You ever cut someone off and your whole nervous system just… relaxed

capricorn doesn't start over. they rebuild from the ashes like it was always the plan. -_-

Thanos was right, half of yall need to go

You want something for life ? Date a Capricorn

#Capricorn's are easy to love but hard to keep up with.

BREAKING: Elon Musk has expressed interest in purchasing OnlyFans and shutting down the company: “Yeah, I’ll do it. I don’t see why not.”

🚨 Do you understand what just happened.. the owner of OnlyFans just died at 43.. Leonid Radvinsky.. the man made $3 billion off a platform where other people sell themselves.. he took 20% of every transaction.. every video.. every message.. every tip.. while creators fought algorithms and chargebacks and deplatforming threats just to make rent.. he sat at the top collecting a cut of their bodies.. and everyone called him a "tech founder".. the man wasn't a tech founder.. he was the most successful middleman in history.. and the wildest part.. OnlyFans was profitable from day one.. no VC money.. no IPO.. because when your business model is taking a fifth of what someone earns from their own skin.. you don't need investors.. you need creators desperate enough to not ask questions.. he had $3 billion and still couldn't beat cancer at 43.. what exactly are we all racing toward.

One of my contrarian takes: Society peaked in the 80s, and it’s been in slow decline ever since. It was the last era of widespread optimism. You can feel it in the music and movies. “Excess meets innocence.” The 80s also mark the end of the analog world—local economies, in-person everything, and a certain forced simplicity. Malls, movie theaters, magazines, and BMX. Then, beginning in the 90s, came the tidal wave of tech: Mobile phones The internet Social media AI All incredible innovations, with lots of positives. But on the whole I think they’re *net negatives* for society. We replaced a finite, real-world experience with an infinite, digital one. Infinite information. Infinite comparison. Infinite distraction. Human’s aren’t wired for that, and you can see the consequences all around us.

@Mr_Ace_69 @Burning_Heart_5 I like them!

Some people probably don't like my posts about flowers, art, quotes, erotica, etc., and prefer more explicit content. But personally, I prefer to mix the two; it's my way of doing things, even if no one likes them, I post what I like to share...

Elon Musk: "I feel like we're in the Big Bang of the intelligence explosion. We have court-side seats to the Big Bang of intelligence explosion. One thing's for sure, it won't be boring."

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!! HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!

She wasn't acting. And Ledger knew it. Heath Ledger refused to do the full Joker in rehearsals. No voice, no laugh, no mannerisms. Christian Bale confirmed Ledger only turned the character on when cameras rolled. The cast had no idea what was coming. This is the party scene. Ledger is holding a knife to Gyllenhaal's face telling a fake story about his scars. Gyllenhaal couldn't maintain eye contact. She was genuinely trying to pull away from him. She was silently looking at Nolan to stop the scene. Ledger saw her break eye contact and improvised the line "Look at me." Four syllables that turned a scripted scene into something nobody on set could control. Michael Caine forgot his lines the first time he saw Ledger in full Joker. A 75-year-old actor with 130 films on his résumé, and his brain locked up. Caine wrote in his memoir last year that Ledger was "a lovely guy, very gentle and unassuming" between takes. Skateboarded around set. Then the camera turned on and everyone on the crew froze. The film made $1 billion. Ledger won a posthumous Oscar, only the second actor in history to do so. He died six months before the movie opened. He was 28. The performance that redefined what a villain could be in a studio film was built on a simple trick: never let your scene partners rehearse against the real thing. When they finally see it, you get something a director can't manufacture. Actual fear on actual faces. That's what Nolan saw through the monitor. And that's why he didn't say cut.

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝 I’ve learned two things: Never waste a good cigar. Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

@jaredsmithbets Tcu??

Michigan State makes it 19 consecutive wins for the favorite. The books are likely getting hammered with parlay liability. This means the best time to bet the underdog is right before tip.

@HammerHeadBets So shitty The flagrant really changed the game storyline That 5 point swing was the difference

And after all that garbage, and shooting like dogshit from 3, and the whistle in favor of Izzo 21 to 11… They still had a chance to cover the number on the final shot of the game. Brick. #MarchMadness🏀

Me pretending I know what retrograde means 😭
