Ugh, I am all over the place today.

Watched this clip from #TraineeA days where you can see my bias, JJ (who hasn't debuted yet), James from CORTIS, Sangwon and Leo (to be in Alpha Drive One) dance to Enhypen's "Future Perfect" and just got sad and nostalgic. JJ is SO GOOD, WTF. SM, debut him OMG.

I'm now going to think about it every time I pluck a chin hair. "Now, I have a bushless nussy!" 😂

This terrifying #yokai is actually a blood-drinking vampire tree.

In #JapaneseFolklore jubokko are #yokai trees often found on the sites of old battlefields. It is believed that because they absorbed the blood of slaughtered bodies through their roots, they developed supernatural powers, including a vampiric taste for blood. Considering...

Watching the other members set up for James's birthday, it's so chaotic.

Also, there are clearly more than 20 candles on that "cake". #CORTIS

The majority of the country couldn't be bothered to vaccinate annually but they're looking at disabled people masking like we're the problem?

Nah, bud. I don't have patience for it anymore.

James posted birthday selfies on Weverse for the fans for his birthday.

He wore a Radiohead shirt just for me. 😁

#CORTIS

James sitting in a car, leaning to one side. He wears a baseball cap, denim jacket and pants, a black belt, and a light grey shirt.

Another mirror selfie from James. His Radiohead T-shirt is clearly visible.

I managed to catch the start of James's birthday live this morning. It was 4:30 my time, which meant it was 1:30 where they were in LA.

They were fairly low-key and chill throughout the live (which I only watched a little bit before going back to sleep). #CORTIS

CORTIS during James's birthday live. A photo of him is on the screen behind them. Garlands that say "Happy Birthday" are on it, but backwards because the screen is flipped. They have two large balloons for "20". Juhoon holds the "2", while Keonho has the "0" around his waist. Seonghyeon plays with a pink balloon. James is reading the comments on a phone. They are all sitting on a couch except for Martin who is standing up close to the camera and looking closely at the screen.

Martin holds up a "cake" on a pink paper plate. There are many candles on the cake and it looks like wax is dripped all over it. Seonghyeon is also close to the screen and looking near the camera. Keonho is standing by the camera too, but his face is not seen.

James holds a thumbs up to the camera, thanking the fans for her birthday wishes.

Keonho is close up to the camera and looking into the lens. James has his hands together in thanks and is bowing. Martin bends down with James looking to the camera and smiling.

I loved Star Tours when I was in high school. I went down twice with my high school band for several days and one year, I just spent half a day repeatedly going on this ride. LOL

I love this park. I loved the stuff that showed you the "magic" of movie-making. The foley artists stuff was SO COOL.

To be honest, I think we're getting towards a tipping point here in my area. EVs just seem to be popping up everywhere, along with that support infrastructure which I know I was concerned about when I started looking into getting a new car earlier this year. I definitely live in a bubble about this.

The municipal building in the town I work at, my local supermarket, and two malls I frequent have available charging stations. The nearby McDs has a charger and the last time I went to Jersey City for weekend brunch, I parked at a charging space on the street. It seems far more ubiquitous here. 🤔

Ai 아이 @siniful.bsky.social · 22h

I own a KIA, but it has NACS and my home Level 2 charger is also NACS. (By the way, I have a two-family home and I plan on installing a charger for the other apartment, so my tenant can be an apartment dweller with a home EV charger.)

I presume my BIL primarily uses Tesla's network. I'm agnostic.
