#then how to win friends and influence people

[kxsagi]

"𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡"

dating rumors immediately started going around after influencer and model! reader and pro soccer player! isagi yoichi had taken a picture together at one of the athlete’s recent matches. 

of course, it all started with isagi admitting on an interview with a popular late night show host that his celebrity crush was you. after all, he loved how you laughed a lot in your videos, and also had a wonderful smile. not to mention you were drop dead gorgeous, no wonder why you were the face of popular designer brands like van cleef, louis vuitton, christian louboutin, and chanel! 

the two of you began talking after the clip went viral and caught your attention (you had been tagged thousands of times by your fans, a lot of them in ship edits of the two of you). however, it was nothing more than friends until the athlete invited you to his soccer match against the infamous manshine (manchester) city. 

isagi’s team proudly claimed victory thanks to his many assists and final goal, but it seemed that the sole picture of the two of you that you posted on your instagram went more viral than the football club’s win. 

both you and isagi’s PR teams were stressing about what to do with the media, and it didn’t help that you replied to a comment saying “i sense a WAG 🤭” with “it’s not like that 😔” to which many people replied: “watch, this won’t age well” and boy were they right

just a month later, isagi had posted a picture of him wearing a clean white-collared long sleeve shirt that wrapped around his muscles well, along with a designer belt and black pants. he appeared to be sitting in a chair, but what caught everyone’s attention was the red lipstick kiss stain left on his neck. the caption didn’t help either: “okay so we’re not just friends”

his fans immediately left to see your page, and your fans immediately left to see his page after your instagram post: a picture of you with a black dress and white bag, wearing red lipstick, the same shade on isagi’s neck. 

the top comment? “this is what i call a hard launch”

Btw my wife and I were at a diner for breakfast and spent the whole time discussing the intimate interpersonal dynamics at play wrt gender "identity" and its lack of essential character and how social inclusion and peculiar contextual investments etc etc destabilize the grip of the political-ideological indoctrinations and enlistments into hegemonic gender-sexuality. And that rather than tgirl-egg friend groups being predicated on some kind of preternatural kindred awareness which draws people together through mystic means, rather it is the fact that "social contagion" (tongue in cheek) is real and awesome and epic. And this is how and why forcefeminization can actually have a causal influence on peoples forreal gender and you CAN make that boy into a girl you just have to keep trying!!!!! This is how global proletarian forcefem can still win!!!!!

A blink and you miss it moment of Cassian becoming an excellent leader in episode 9 of Andor.

Ulaf is slowing the team down, and Cassian (‘Keef’) has the idea to swap places with Taga. Taga asks why and Ham rather brutally tells him “Keef is faster”. Hurt, Taga grumbles “There’s a better way of saying that!”

After Kino comes over to investigate, he asks Cassian whether the swap was his idea, clearly about to compliment him.

Kino is still quite antagonistic towards Cassian (who he has marked as a troublemaker like Melshi) so we might expect him to enjoy receiving some praise but instead of accepting the compliment, Cassian says that the swap was Tagas’s idea. “Are you kidding?” says Taga in respect, and happily accepts the praise, making up for the insult 30 seconds earlier.

Earlier, Cassian wanted to avoid attention for self-centred reasons . Now, this trait is becoming a positive leadership quality . Standing behind others, encouraging them on, freely allowing them to use his ideas and even his words. Motivating them to find their own motivation. 

^^ Kino using Cassian’s words

I think Kino realises exactly what was going on here and comes away with new respect for Cassian. Kino is the figurehead and voice of the prison rebellion, but it’s pretty clear who is the real leader.

Coincidence? I think not….

for context, kevin mitnick is a hacker who got into the databases of large companies by tricking people over the phone. This is his first book. Maybe it *is* a sneaky reference considering greely’s methods & the phantom factories being like companies polluting the earth

Quite funny, sorry, just some of the Italian journalists - in the Spanish press it came out that, obviously Sete Gibernau had tested the Ducati. And so the Italians trying to stir things said to Casey Stoner 'So, has Sete Gibernau's test made the Ducati quicker?' And he just laughed in the face of the Italian journalists.
