I know I could never write Hobi. I love reading his POV but I could NEVARRR. & it’s funny, I often write Jin POV because he just makes so much intuitive sense to me, and a friend feels the same way about Jin that I feel about Hobi. So we balance each other

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

Rolling Stone has published a list of "The 250 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century".

Spring Day is #37. #BTS @rollingstone.com

The 250 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century. BTS "Spring Day"

Screenshot of Spring Day playing on the RS site. #37 - BTS, 'Spring Day' 2017

A moment of stark vulnerability that became a signature song for one of the century's biggest pop acts, "Spring Day" turned personal grief into a surging, triumphal power ballad. "I wish to end this winter/How much longings must fall like snow/Before that spring day arrives," goes the English translation of RM's passionate lyrics. The song is associated with a tragedy in the band's native Korea - the sinking of the ferry MV Sewol in 2014, in which 304 people died - but its sense of resilience and hope wrought from loss has a transcendent feel, soon to be mirrored in the band's global takeover. BTS would have bigger crossover hits around the world, but few songs approach the gathering power of their music like this one. -J.D.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Thank you for getting Jimin's birthday campaign off to such a great start! 😍

We are just barely into day 1 and already 52 ARMY have raised $2,214 for #EquityWithJimin in support of empowering woman and girls in rural India 💜 and there's still almost the full week to go!

A pink poster with the words #EquityWithJimin OIAA Birthday Campaign at the top, decorated with flowers. In the middle is a wicker basket with one purple flower in the basket. On either side of the basket are two white text boxes, one saying 52 new donors and the other 52 total donors. At the bottom of the poster it says "Day 1".
