🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

tnt has officially put the void within on pause between chapters 7 and 8. according to their statement on the official twitter account, it's to "make exciting improvements based on your feedback".

all plot activities (void essence collection, battledome fights, volunteer shifts, and story updates) will be on hold, and voidworks specifically will be getting an update.

the void within is slated to return in early 2025, but the team's assured us that there will be plenty of holiday activities in the meantime.

i have absolutely no clue what this means for the future of the plot.

but i'm going to trust that tnt made this decision because they felt that the feedback they received required such a long hiatus to make changes around.

I'm saying this right now anyone speaking new Pokémon content into the world at tomorrow's Nintendo Direct better SHUT THE FUCK UP that IS A THREAT

I need the Pokémon company to learn that we can go a year without a Pokémon game without the franchise imploding so they'll fucking take their time with the games again so I'm going to need people to stop being like "oh maybe there'll be a Pokémon announcement that'll be nice" I AM BITING YOU I AM BITING YOU I AM BITING YOU I AM BITING YOU

we're fine! We'll live! Go play Pokerogue, it's fine!

Ayo?

I did not mean to do that but hey I'm not complaining

[thetragicallynerdy]

So the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) (which the gov't passed last year, Bill C-22), which was passed with the intent of "lifting people with disabilities out of poverty," finally got funded in the budget that was released today - and it's such fucking bullshit.

It's a maximum amount of $200/month ($2400/year)

You have to be approved for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) to be eligible - something that advocates were specifically saying should not happen because it's so fucking difficult to get on. The CDB should be barrier-free.

Doesn't start until July 2025

It's such fucking bullshit. $200 a month? And not for another fucking year? Not to mention the DTC requirement? Are you fucking kidding me?? I'm so mad.

This CBC article about it can contains this quote - "Khedr estimates that roughly 1.6 million Canadians with disabilities are living below the poverty line. But Tuesday's budget says only 600,000 would be eligible for the new national benefit." This is because of the DTC requirement. Jesus Christ.

Anyway, Canadian folks, please for the love of god contact your MPs and tell them how awful this is. It needs to be more money, it needs to be enough to actually have an impact, and it needs to not require DTC eligibility.

I'm so mad.

What's fucked is both drivers kinda believed that Lando could win the WDC but McLaren never had any faith, Jesus could've prevented Hungary, Monza, and the sprint if they just said that from the beginning and been honest

2025 might be crazy… I’m so curious because it really is looking like a three way fight between max, mclaren, and ferrari. Clean slate now that mclaren knows theyll fight for both titles next year from the start. Wonder if theyll back lando from the start or if theyll play games with him and oscar until its too late.

Hi 9! I've been supzr busy and its hard to catch up. I'm wondering if "we're watching a specific date rn or if there's a new pattern of hints from Taylor that we're examining?

hello!

don’t worry, i think it’s hard for anyone to stay on top of stuff these days!!

for me, i’m not watching a specific date at this time, but i have my eyes on november in terms of a potential tv announcement somewhere. i just have a feeling that taylor will probably announce a 2025 release date for either rep or debut or both while she is still touring. and i think she might also announce another tour movie before the tour ends, maybe on the final night. she has concerts until december 8th, hence why im interested in november! she’s giving us plenty of reasons to continue to tune in.

let me summarize some of the stuff i’ve noticed skimming twitter while watching the miami show livestreams

i did see on twitter that a swiftie has a theory that maybe she’ll release rep during one of the indianapolis dates? which i thought was sort of interesting? so you can take a look at that if you’re interested.

more generally i saw more than a few people (i think gaylors?) point out some stuff about the timing of lent (the religious holiday) or about how new orleans is the location for mardi gras, and mardi gras is also known as “fat tuesday” and is held on the day before lent starts (“ash wednesday”) and is supposed to be a celebration where you eat a lot in anticipation of fasting for lent. lent is a period of time observed by christians leading up to easter, a period to reflect on jesus’s death and resurrection. taylor sang guilty as sin? at this last concert before going to new orleans, and there’s the line “what if i roll the stone away? they’re gonna crucify me anyway” which to me is a direct reference to the bible story about the stone door in front of jesus’s tomb rolling away with his resurrection, which ties to lent kinda… just this idea that maybe she’s gearing up to do something big?

for a lot of gaylors that something big is assumed to be a coming out i think? at the recent miami shows, she debuted a new reputation outfit, and she wore new surprise song dresses that were widely seen as being bi colors and lesbian colors, so i think this is contributing to the hype. so would she do some sort of death/resurrection arc in new orleans… and then come out in… *checks notes* …indianapolis? i’m not too sure about that but i had a mutual point out to me that indianapolis *is* home to the indy 500, so, race cars..getaway cars.. a checkered flag, mayhaps?

anyway, as i’m sure you know, i’m not expecting anything huge but i do think that we have prime conditions for a content drop of some sort, so, ive been keeping one eye open for something like that 🥴

[akookminsupporter]

Thank you for answering, it's nice to see someone else agree with me and actually have a small conversation about these issues :)

And you're right, when I sent the ask I was very frustrated and didn't even think about the competition between members... But that's also a thing yeah.

"Now that drug is not constant, they need to satiate that need anyway, that's why many don't mind sharing and spreading videos or pictures of the guys in their free time or their private life." That's a really interesting way of putting it and I think you worded it perfectly. I didn't really think about what caused this big influx of people spreading their private info more - I didn't want to get into it, I always thought it was Mostly due to the new fans. There are of course old fans who have alsways done this and will continue to do it, but as I said, I didn't really do (or want to) research on why they are so horrible to the boys. But I think you explained it really well.

And regarding them smoking or drinking... We are not their mothers to tell them what to do 🤷‍♀️ And I think everyone who spends more than 2 seconds of "oh he's drinking/smoking, that's bad but whatever it's his life" on this, then they need to fucking go outside. Seriously. Go outside. See how many fucking people drink and smoke. You'd be surprised. Let's not even talk about them having sex because that's obviously harder to prove (Jesus I hope nobody proves it with physical proof), but yeah. They do have sex. Get over it. I blame kpop all together for these issues because they also try to brainwash fans into believing their idols are pure and perfect as you said: they don't drink, they don't curse, don't smoke, don't have sex. And maybe the 15 year olds that they debut nowadays really don't smoke or have sex. But we are talking about 26-30 year old men so lmao And Namjoon has been hinting a lot that he has gone through breakups . But of course nobody watches actual content from the boys themselves :) *sarcasm * (that's also why I think people spread the jungkook pictures so much: we literally saw his e-cigarette (?) or whatever its called a few months ago in a live but since only fans watch that, nobody gave a fuck)

Anyway. I agree with everything you said and you really worded it better than I could have. A lot of people I follow always pray for 2025 to come faster (bts coming back whenever) so that these people would leave. And my question is: do you think they would? Considering now that Jin is coming back in June and there is a possibility some of the maknae line won't leave until early 2024 (this is my guess only!) that gives us a few months between the last one leaving and the first one coming back. If they have enough content, both the fandom and solos can survive those 4-5 months. Idk about how much causal fans interact with the fandom, I guess there will always be someone who will leave because they get bored. But do you think there is a possibility at least SOME people will move on? Preferably the bad ones?

Not between members but between their Solo stans.

This may be the last time I talk about this because it really is a non-issue but I don't understand what the big deal is about them smoking or drinking alcohol or having romantic/sexual relationships. Those are normal things that everyone or most of the world's population does almost every day, so why would people expect those 7 men in their twenties not to do it too. The expectations that many have of these men are absurdly unrealistic and it's frustrating that they don't realise it.

A lot of people I follow always pray for 2025 to come faster (bts coming back whenever) so that these people would leave. And my question is: do you think they would?

But do you think there is a possibility at least SOME people will move on? Preferably the bad ones?

I really don't think so. I don't think they will. I think some will go into hibernation and others will pretend that nothing happened and that they didn't say anything stupid. Others will continue to behave in the same way, pretending to be an independent city within the huge country called ARMY.

Welcomes You To:

Daily Bible Study: 23 September 2025

Theme: Book

Scripture: Songs of Solomon 1; Songs of Solomon 2; Songs of Solomon 3;Heb. 13:8;

Rom. 10:13; John. 6:37; Phil. 4:19; Matt. 6:25-34; John. 4:13-14; Ps. 107:9;

Message:

HE IS ALWAYS THE SAME

Human tends to change. A husband who used to be very patient can change to be an impatient person. A wife who used to be very quiet can become very chatty uncontrollable. There is no guarantee that the person we know will remain the same after one year, five years, or even ten years later. But, the good news is that Jesus, our Lord, has not changed from before, now, and forever. His power and the talk of His miracles remain the same. What He has done and declared will continue be declared for each of our lives today until He comes a second time.

If He was able to heal sick people then, then He is able to heal every sickness today. His promises, yes and amen, remain the same forever. Most importantly, we must learn to believe in what He promises in our lives.

He promises to save us (Romans 10:13; John 6:37)

He promises to provide for our needs (Philippians 4:19; Matthew 6: 25-34);

He promises to please us (John 4:13; 14; Psalm 107: 9)

He promises to look after us (1 Peter 1: 5, John 10:28)

His personality remains the same. He is Love and His love never ends. It remains the same from the beginning of time, now, and until forever. Today, we need to learn to believe because through believing, we will all be able to experience Him more in our lives day by day.

All that is temporary can and will change, but He is eternal; remain the same from the beginning of time, now and forever.

[content-d3leted]

It has already been a year since JH s6 was released! Honestly only feels like it's been out for a couple of months, it's so weird how it's been a year.

Yknow what this means ..... it's one year less now until a potential s7!!!!!!! If the same time period between these sitcom series remains the same (s5 to 6 was roughly 22 months), then s7 should come out around June 2025, WHICH IS NOT LONG AT ALL. I would do literally anything for a new series. I need new content so badlyyy

But to think that a year ago today I was absolutely freaking out and not being able to sleep due to the EXCITEMENT of a new wonderful series!!!! If only a certain man who's name begins with C didnt ruin the majority of the episodes, it would of been FABULOUS. I mean it still was, I love those first few episodes so much. Such a shame that so many good scripts were pretty much gone to waste though. I really really want to see Steve do those episodes, alas it will never happen.

I would really like to know what the original script was like for 'Sensible Training'. It wouldn't make sense with the plot shown, since if Mrs Sprocket coming round was a yearly occurance, then Robert would of dealt with it about 12 times before, so I wonder what would be different this time. I assume Robert would make sure Justin and LM were not around when his teacher came, since Justin has seemingly never heard of/met her before. So perhaps this time Justin and LM were unable to leave the house for some strange reason. I also doubt that Robert would try and change his best friend's personality, it just seems so out of character. Although I guess he may do it accidently whilst trying to teach good manners. But Justin usually does have good manners, he just acts weird in this episode, maybe he had too many sweets lol. I'd also like to see Robert's reaction when he discovers that his friends personalities don't go back to normal after realising the error of changing them (until Justin gets a head injury that changes him back of course). Seeing the original script for that would be so intriguing. Also for party animals (the most misery-inducing, horrendous episode known to mankind- we don't talk about Mrs Wilson's solo song.), I assume Robert would of dressed as some sort of bird, since all the other members of the family are also birds (Justin's a chicken and LM's a duck), so I bet he would of been a peacock. That would suit him so much though, especially due to his flamboyant-ness. I would LOVE to see that outfit, or at least the concept art for it. Ngl I would love to see the concept art for Robert's character in general, especially back in 2011 when they were figuring out what his outfit would be. It would be super interesting.

How did party animals even get made. I guess they wanted to give Mrs Wilson character development, but jesus christ it sucked. 'Oh, it's jelly time-' SHUT UP. THAT WAS NOT FUNNY. IT SUCKED. Yes it would of been much better with Steve in it, but tbh nothing could properly fix that episode. It does not make any sense at all that Mrs Wilson has never been to a party. Because like.......she HAS. Every time she's at the end of an episode, eg in The Big Split, she is dancing and singing in the 'Justin's House House PARTY'. She's actually canoniclly been in parties before. She probably just tried to make an excuse because she didn't want to come lol. She acts in an angry negative state of mind mostly, so it doesn't make sense how she's suddenly so shy in that episode. Of course people get nervous, but I feel like she would act in an annoyed way instead of a shy one. If I wrote it, I would make it so she attends the party, but acts all grumpy in the corner of the room, until someone (eg Cat or Robert) comes over and asks what's wrong properly. That would feel much more in character. Also how did noone know it was Mrs Wilson in the suit, especially Justin! He invited his friends, surely he would know who's coming. Oh well.

I just realised I talk about stuff so negatively wtf

Anyway HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO S6 NOW YIPPEE!!

Extraordinary Measures: It’s Time to Abolish the Latin Mass

Proponents of the Latin Mass are proponents of schism. The most recent ecumenical council—one of the highest forms of authority in the Catholic Church—decreed the Mass to be in the vernacular. To allow so many variations from the universal norm in the Latin-rite church can be damaging to the spirit of common prayer which we are called to by the Roman Ritual and the Roman Missal. Admittedly, the Dominican rite and the rite used by former Anglicans (among others) concern me, they’re only applicable in specific pastoral situations, and do not, for the most part, interfere with the unity of the Church at large.

A regressively conservative liturgical group in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, personally overseen and funded and led by Abp. Cordileone, is seeking signatures to a perition demanding more Latin Masses and rejecting a supposed rumored crackdown, additionally calling “to pray and fast for Pope Francis.” This sort of open disdain for the rule of the pope would be unheard of if attempted against P. Benedict XVI or P. John Paul II by these same people.

Out of boredom and concern, I have compiled frequent rationales calling for more Latin Masses and my responses to them below.

Is the Latin Mass more traditional than the Novus Ordo?

No. The word “traditional” has been heavily co-opted and re-appropriated by those supporting the Latin Mass, as opposed to those understanding the original meaning rooted more in the Church as a living tradition. Just because something has been done longer doesn’t necessarily make it more traditional in the Catholic sense. Jesus was not traditional in this way, nor were the early Christians. Even with this simplistic argument equating prolonged time with tradition, the original Last Supper wasn’t in Latin, nor was Latin the universal norm for quite some time at one point.

The Novus Ordo is traditional. Even the reformed rites in the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, not yet mandatory in the US until Ash Wednesday of next year (2025), will be traditional despite some of the words and actions having never been said or done previously.

Since the pre-Vatican II ritual books are recent enough for some of the faithful to remember, would it be ok to allow its use for them?

No. We don’t allow other previous liturgies (e.g., use of the Sacramentary circa 2010 or other ancient ritual books) or translations for use, so why would we make an exception here? This seems to be a political ploy which I suspect is to inflame a popular movement in order to even further roll back the reforms of the Sacred Council. Also, take one look at the population of the Latin Mass attendees and you will see that the vast majority were not alive at the time of its customary use.

Is the Latin Mass more reverent and respectful than the Novus Ordo?

No. It’s almost like a reverse “sackcloth and ashes” situation where we have some people who wish to be seen being more opulent or more pious so as to virtue signal their self-perceived liturgical superiority.

Since young people are demanding the Latin Mass, should we listen to them and implement it?

No. Perhaps it’s helpful to ask: which young people are being listened to? Is it mostly conservative white men with money and lots of children who are doing the demanding? Are bishops listening to all the people of good will or instead narrowly searching for ones who already share their views? If young people do not find beauty and truth in the vernacular liturgy, then we have failed as catechists and liturgists. Although anecdotally, as someone who has worked with Catholic youth for many years, I can attest this is not what the majority want. It’s much more uncommon than Tumblr or other social media or even many bishops would have you think.

Is the Latin Mass more authentically Catholic?

No. Being under the authority of the Pope and following the binding ecumenical councils are important parts of what makes one Catholic. Not recognizing the authority of the Pope or Vatican II makes you literally a Protestant.

[hhhemberhhh]

SUMMER IS HERE, AND SO AM I (probably not for long because it’s busy)

allow me to fill in the gaps of my absence with a rambling of all the band stuff that’s happened…

We had another concert for community band at the end of April with good music, including Second Suite in F by Gustav Holst (that was our most challenging piece because Jesus Christ)

State MPA, got straight Goods, which I’m not too upset about because our performance wasn’t the best but that only strives us to work harder

Spring Concert, complete with our jazz ensemble, a performance of my clarinet trio from Solo and Ensemble, and an amazing awards ceremony, including a Rookie of the Year award, which I won and was ecstatic about

Leadership interviews for this coming up marching season. I applied for clarinet section leader and the person who manages our band’s social media page because everyone knows me as the person who memes everyone and takes pictures at the most random times. I GOT BOTH 💪💪 (our past clarinet section leader is now assistant drum major so SHE’S GOT BIG THINGS GOING FOR HER)

Seeing people I love leaving because they’ve completed all their years of school… we’ll miss them 🫡

COMING UP THIS NEXT YEAR

on the next episode of band events leading up to marching season…

Community band patriotic concert, with one of our pieces being the famous Stars and Strips Forever

Leadership meetings over the summer giving out sponsorship papers to try and get sponsors, learning the exercises and getting music for band camp, and going over more expectations probably

Leadership TRIP to an arcade and BEACH

Music Festival (that also has an HONOR BAND) at another school towards the end of June

Marching and Leadership Camp at a university in the first week of July. I signed up for this so I look better when our school’s band camp comes around and it’ll be a fun experience

Our school’s band camp towards the end of July where we meet the new kids that are joining band this year

MARCHING SEASON STARTS

and so does school…

Weekly rehearsals for marching drills and breaking out the saxophone for jazz band

(this doesn’t really count as marching band itself but it’s during marching season) Auditions for a very very prestigious concert/honor band in September (the actual event isn’t until January of 2025 🤡)

Marching competitions and MPA in October and marching in the local Homecoming Parade

The transition from marching season to concert season in November, aka breaking out the bassoon

Christmas concert in December

Hopefully marching in the local Christmas Parade

AND CONCLUDE THE 2024 YEAR

[calliettes-posts]

S9 centered in Bobbie as main would slap so hard cause they could use the anniversary of her dad passing to explore her grief. Idk like you could see she was kinda affected but actually seeing on her pov. Amazing. And it would be in theme with the exploring of her background.

Also there's something in me telling that there are big chances of getting Bobbie as main maybe not s8 but s9 or s10. Assuming they are gonna do all their high school years which would be until the first half of 2025 I think (jesus that's so far away) we will be old as fuck

Omg yes, that'd be such a great opportunity to dig deeper into her grief, and how exactly she deals with it, since she was and still is clearly affected by the death, and we could also see how her mum and her interact during those times, because I'm still confused why the mum just left her daughter by herself during the death anniversary of her dad. And a bobbie s9 would also be during the anniversary of anobbie, so we could see them celebrating it, and then compare how much they've grown as a couple and individually since Anais season

And I do think they'll do all their school years, like Druck did, so we really will be here till 2025 lol

[chirpsythismorning]

just correcting a small detail but Finn is already 20, his 21st birthday is in December of 2023 not 2024! i personally don't want a release date that's too soon bc i'm actually hoping for good production and Love the time leading up to season releases just as much as the seasons themselves. but just technically speaking Finn would be able to drink at any premiere by the end of this year already (even though i don't think we're seeing s5 until autumn of 2024 at the absolute Earliest, 2025 is still pretty likely to me tbh)

YOURE RIGHT!

JESUS I am on the opposite of a roll today.

Why did I think it was already 2024 for some reason 😭

And I do agree! Hiatus is arguably the best time for fandom hijinks. It sucks rn bc it’s so early in hiatus and so there’s basically no content to dissect.

But once filming starts, promotion will start rolling out slowly but surely. Then once filming finishes they’ll be in post-production and promotion will really start picking up within the year leading up to the premiere, and then as we get closer to like 3 months and then mere weeks leading up to, it’ll grow exponentially.

I am hoping for either a fall 2024 release, like around the time of Will’s disappearance in November maybe? Either that or early 2025, maybe March around Will’s birthday..?

I would be a little disappointed if they waited until summer 2025, but we know how much they love summers so I am scared of that but, that would be the absolute worst scenario considering the possibility of potential delays. No later than that though!

[pressradio]

did you see carlos said ferrari plan a b and c. and charles reaffirming that they get along well. 2024 and maybe 2025+

...jesus help ferrari. really.

Hey hey!

Well I mean even with Carlos PR disasterclass it would be pretty weird to say “ferrari aren’t giving me contract i want crycrycry I’m leaving”. Charles has always been well-trained.

And remember how Ferrari pr said that all rumours about Binotto departure are fake. It’s how PR in F1 works. Until we have official announcement, nothing is written in stone.

I prefer to think like that otherwise I’ll go mad hahahahhah
