Did anyone else notice that What It Sounds Like, from KPop Demon Hunters, warps space and time?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the third act of the film. Actually, watch all of it, because it's really good. Here's what to pay attention to:

That final concert happens at midnight.

The current chapter of my #vss365 story is WAY longer than I was expecting it to be. I blame the prompt words. 😆

The bouncer slowly backed up to his usual post.

"I've done what I came for, and now I'm leaving."

"Fine," the bouncer growled.

"And with GUSTO!" the vagrant added with #verve, dancing up to his feet.

Jeff stowed his weapon. "You do that for both of us, my good man." #vss365

Mira's last solo line in Golden, from KPDH. It sounds like "Cause that's me on stage" or "Got that cheese on stage", both of which make sense in context - but it's actually Korean: "kkeuteopsi on stage."

It's a Korean lyric that sounds like an English lyric that still makes sense. Amazing writing.

The dog growled, low and angry. The bouncer stopped in his tracks. Jeff cautioned him, "I tried to do this nicely. You forced me to be a #libertine. Do not force me further."

The bouncer's jaw grinded back and forth.

"You don't want this," Jeff added, shaking his head. #vss365

This detail about the Palisades arrest is wild:
While on the phone with 911, Rinderknecht allegedly typed a question into ChatGPT: “Are you at fault if a fire is lift because of your cigarettes,” according to the criminal complaint. www.latimes.com/california/s...

He finally got the election-denying MAGA A.G. he always dreamed of. Bondi was openly partisan, scornful & highly combative, her non-answers dripping with disdain. Very telling when she was asked if she'd seen the photos of her boss "with half-naked young women." PATHETIC

I'm so sorry. If there's anything I can do, let me know.

There's a certain irony to the fact that the musically-inspired #vss365 prompts are coming as my protagonist is LEAVING a music club. 😆

"Yeah, man, dance!" yelled the hobo from up the alley, tapping the #ash off a cigarette. Jeff couldn't help but crack a grin.

The bouncer's face went beet red as he stormed towards Jeff. Before he got more than halfway, Jeff had his laser pistol trained between his eyes. #vss365

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

He honestly doesn't see how this is a) a problem, and b) worse than if a human flagged it.

The dog was patiently waiting for him opposite the door. As Jeff came over to it, It stood up, tail wagging, and took up a position between his legs. He glanced over his shoulder at the bouncer he'd had a #clash with on his way in. "I told you I'd just be a few minutes." #vss365

"You shouldn't. And I'm not asking you to. It's a question of trust."

She glanced past him at her former #associate, then back to Jeff. She shook her head.

Jeff nodded. "Very well." Then he turned and descended the stairs, crossed the dancefloor, and left the building. #vss365

Then her eyes went wide and she took a step back from him. Owning that weapon was like an #advert for his identity. "You are one."

"I was one," he quickly corrected. "They've spent the last day trying to kill me. I'm returning the favour."

"Why should I believe you?" #vss365
