“You are suffering the consequences of the sentence that was imposed.” --Judge

Brandon M Fox, Florida inmate N51790, born 1999, incarceration intake April 2023 at age 23, scheduled for release August 2047

Possession of Photographs-Child Sex Performance

In August 2023, a former Daytona Beach Police officer tried to withdraw his plea to possession of child sexual assault material, saying that his defense attorney had told him he would be sentenced to no more than five years.

But instead of five years, Brandon Michael Fox was sentenced to 25 years in state prison. And that's what his sentence will remain after Circuit Judge Elizabeth Blackburn denied Fox's request to withdraw his plea.

The hearing included testimony from Fox's former attorney Aaron Delgado. It also included testimony that Fox and his sister had discussed hiring a private investigator to tail a prosecutor and a police detective.

Fox had been with the Daytona Beach Police Department for two years before his arrest in April 2022. Investigators found about 100 images and videos of child sexual abuse material on his phone and said Fox also participated in an online chat room on Kik in which group members shared more than 3,800 illegal images.

Fox entered no contest pleas to 38 counts of possession of sexual performance by a child, each punishable by up to 15 years in prison. It was an open plea, but prosecutors agreed to waive a minimum sentence of 63 years. That gave the judge a wide sentencing range: from no jail time all the way to 570 years in prison.

Blackburn sentenced Fox on March 15, 2023 to the 25 years in prison followed by 45 years of sex offender probation. Fox must also register as a sex offender.

At the hearing Fox testified that Delgado had told him he would face no more than five years in prison if he entered the plea agreement.

During cross examination, Assistant State Attorney Mark Interlicchio asked Fox whether in court on January 18, 2023 when he accepted the plea agreement if he said he had been promised no more five years.

"You never mentioned … this promise of five years, none of that,” Interlicchio said. “I was under the impression that my attorney had my best interest,” Fox said.

Judge Blackburn then told Fox to answer the question. Interlicchio repeated the question and Fox said, “No, sir.”

During questioning by his new attorney, Asad Ali, Fox said that after the sentence Delgado told him, “Oh, I didn’t expect that to happen. ”

Delgado took the stand and testified that prosecutors had at one point offered Fox 15 years in prison and that he would have to register as a sex offender. Later they reached an agreement on an open plea with the state waiving the minimum guideline sentence.

Delgado repeatedly denied guaranteeing Fox at any time that the prison sentence would be no greater than five years. Ali did not cross-examine Delgado.

The judge said she reviewed the plea form with Fox at the January plea hearing and she read portions which stated that Fox agreed no one had promised him a specific sentence and that he understood the judge was not required to follow any state recommendation.

Blackburn said that Fox, who is serving his time at Columbia Correctional Institution in Lake City, “you are suffering the consequences of the sentence that was imposed.”

As the judge ruled, Fox lowered and shook his head.

How to Get Featured in the New York Times: A Step-by-Step Guide for Marketers

A feature in the New York Times can redefine your brand. With a daily print circulation of 487,000 and over 4.2 million digital subscribers in 2025, according to company reports, it offers marketers unmatched reach and credibility. One article can drive traffic, build trust, and open new opportunities. Getting there demands strategy, persistence, and the right moves. This guide delivers a practical, step-by-step plan — loaded with examples, numbers, and tactics — to help you land that coveted spot.

The Legacy of the New York Times

The New York Times started on September 18, 1851. Founders Henry Jarvis Raymond and George Jones launched it as the New-York Daily Times, a penny paper competing with the New York Sun. Its early years were quiet, but it roared to life in 1871. That year, it exposed the Tweed Ring scandal — a political racket that stole $200 million from NYC taxpayers, worth $4 billion today. The scoop made it a national name.

Adolph Ochs bought the paper in 1896 for $75,000. Circulation had crashed below 9,000, but he saw a future. He pushed for objective reporting, adopting the motto “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” still on every front page. By 1900, readership hit 82,000. Ochs cut the price to a penny in 1898, outpacing rivals.

The paper’s first Pulitzer came in 1918 for World War I coverage. Landmark stories followed. In 1971, the Pentagon Papers leak revealed Vietnam War secrets, winning a Supreme Court fight. In 2017, #MeToo reporting sparked a global shift. The Ochs-Sulzberger family, now in its fifth generation, has owned it since 1896. They’ve grown it from a 75,000-copy daily to a digital titan — 9.13 million subscribers by 2023, with 2025 estimates nearing 10 million.

This history fuels its power. For marketers, a Times feature taps into that legacy.

Step 1: Define Your Story

You need a story that grabs editors. The Times doesn’t publish fluff — it demands impact.

Ask what’s unique: Are you launching a game-changer? Solving a real problem?

Look at Impossible Foods. In 2019, they pitched their plant-based burger as a climate fix. Meat consumption dropped 14% that year, per USDA data, and their Science section feature rode that trend.

Make it timely. In April 2025, pitch “Remote Work’s Hidden Toll” — CDC stats show 13% of U.S. adults reported worse anxiety in 2024.

Keep it tight: “Our app cuts NYC food waste by 30%” beats vague green claims.

Test it. Would you read it? Editors see 100 pitches daily — yours must pop.

Step 2: Research the Right Contacts

Blind pitches waste time. The Times has beats — tech, business, style, health. Find your match.

Check nytimes.com/masthead. Tech Desk for innovations, Business for startups.

Use X. Search “NYT reporter climate” or “NYT journalist health.” Coral Davenport covers environment; Apoorva Mandavilli does science. Read their latest posts.

Numbers matter. The Times has 1,700 journalists, per its 2023 report. Pick 3–5 targets.

Emails follow a pattern: firstname.lastname@nytimes.com — 90% accurate, per industry norms.

Build a list: Name, beat, email, recent article. Precision cuts through noise.

Step 3: Craft a Killer Pitch

Your pitch is your opener. Keep it short — 150–200 words — and sharp.

Start with a hook: “A NYC startup slashed subway delays 20% in trials.”

Prove it matters: “This could save 8 million riders 15 minutes daily.” NYC subway ridership hit 1.4 billion in 2024, per MTA.

Tailor it: “Your January transit app piece sparked this.”

End clear: “Can I send details by Thursday?”

Here’s how to nail it:

Send Tuesday, 9 a.m. EST — editors clear Monday’s flood.

Skip attachments — paste text or links.

Subject: “NYC Transit Fix for Tech Desk” — specific wins.

Allbirds scored a 2022 Style feature with “Our shoes cut carbon 50%.” It tied to a green trend and drew 200,000 views. Study it — short, data-rich, now.

Step 4: Leverage Top PR Firms in NYC

DIY pitches can falter. Top PR firms in NYC have Times connections.

Take Puma. In 2022, they hired AMP3 PR for a sustainable sneaker launch. AMP3 pitched “Fashion’s Green Future” during NYC Fashion Week, landing a Style piece. Puma’s traffic spiked 25% in a week, per SimilarWeb.

Firms deliver. 5WPR grew Webull’s media presence from 0% to 10% in 2023, including a Times hit, per their case study.

9-Figure Media stands out. Based in NYC, they guarantee placements in outlets like Forbes and Business Insider, with a Times track record. A tech client landed a Tech Desk feature in 2024 after their data-driven pitch, per their reviews.

Expect to pay $5,000-$20,000 monthly, per Clutch reviews. Boutiques lean lower, big names push higher.

Search “public relations firms NYC” on Clutch. Look for media wins. Call three for quotes.

Step 5: Build Relationships with Journalists

Cold emails get 10% replies; warm ones hit 30%, per 2024 PR Week data. Start early.

On X, follow reporters like David Gelles (business). Reply with value: “Your ESG piece missed this — 40% of startups prioritize sustainability, per Deloitte.” No pitch yet.

Hit events. TechCrunch Disrupt (May 2025) or Climate Week (September) draw Times staff. Bring cards, keep it brief: “Love your work — can we talk later?”

It worked for one marketer. They met Sarah Maslin Nir at a 2023 housing panel. Six months of X chats led to a Metro story on gentrification.

Offer insights — data, trends — before asking. Patience pays.

Step 6: Create Newsworthy Content

The Times craves scoops, not ads. Give them something fresh.

Release data. A 2025 fintech survey — “40% of Gen Z distrust banks, up 15% since 2020” — could hook Business.

Time it right. A holiday retail study in November trumps July. NRF says 2024 spending hit $1 trillion — tap that.

Warby Parker nailed it in 2015. Their “Buy a Pair, Give a Pair” milestone — 1 million donated glasses — landed a feature with hard numbers.

Try this: Survey 500 customers. Share free findings — “NYC renters pay 60% of income” — for Real Estate. Does it spark talk? That’s your test.

Step 7: Partner with PR Agencies in New York

PR pros turn ideas into placements. Choose carefully.

AMP3 PR (lifestyle/tech) charges $8,000/month, per reviews. They landed a skincare brand in Well with a “clean beauty” pitch.

Ruder Finn (tech/healthcare) got a telemedicine client in Science with a 2024 study — telehealth visits rose 25%, per CMS.

9-Figure Media excels here. They secured a luxury brand in Style in 2024, leveraging their NYC media ties, per their site. Clients praise their guaranteed results.

Avenue Z claims 15 Times hits in 2024, per their site. Verify it.

Costs range: $3,000 for small firms, $25,000+ for top-tier. Budget $10,000 for solid mid-range.

Email five PR agencies in New York: “Show me your last NYT win.” Compare answers, call clients.

Step 8: Follow Up Smartly

Editors ghost. Follow up without bugging.

Wait 5–7 days. Send: “Checking if this fits — new stat: 10,000 users this week.”

Stop at two tries. Pivot to another beat.

For breaking news, call 212–556–1234: “I’ve got exclusive NYC flood data — who handles climate?” Use sparingly.

A 2023 startup followed up twice, adding “Our AI cut costs 15%.” It ran in Tech after silence. Log every step.

Step 9: Amplify Your Feature

A feature’s only the start. Push it hard.

LinkedIn: “Proud to be in NYT — here’s why it matters.” Link it.

Email customers: “As seen in NYT.” A SaaS firm saw 25% more signups, per HubSpot.

Beyond Meat’s 2023 plant-based feature spiked X mentions 300% in 48 hours — they retweeted nonstop.

Add an “As Seen In” site badge. Track clicks with Google Analytics — what converts?

Step 10: Learn and Repeat

Every pitch teaches you. Use it.

Win? Dissect why — tight hook, fresh data? Do it again.

Loss? Ask 5WPR or 9-Figure Media for a free consult — many offer them.

Trends: April 2025 — AI ethics, green tech — shape your next story.

A fintech pitched quarterly, refining each time. Third try landed a Business feature in 2024. Build a rhythm.

The Times vs. Other Media

The Times isn’t alone. How does it compare?

Wall Street Journal: 1.2 million print readers, per 2024 ABC data. Finance-focused — pitch markets, not culture. Less lifestyle than Times.

Washington Post: 2.5 million digital subs, per 2023 reports. Politics-heavy — needs a D.C. angle. Broader than WSJ, narrower than Times.

Forbes: 6 million monthly uniques, per Comscore. Offers sponsored posts ($5,000-$50,000) — easier, less prestige.

Numbers: Times’ 127 Pulitzers top WSJ’s 39 and Post’s 65. Its 10 million subscribers outshine Forbes’ reach.

The Times mixes depth and breadth. It’s the toughest nut, but the biggest prize.

Picking Public Relations Firms NYC

Your firm can make this happen. Choose smart.

Size: Edelman (6,000 staff) scales big — $30,000/month. AMP3 (20 staff) focuses tight — $8,000/month.

Fit: Ruder Finn owns tech/health; Hunter PR rules food — landed Chobani in Dining in 2023.

Proof: 5WPR’s SAP feature in 2023 boosted mentions 15%, per their report. 9-Figure Media got a tech app in TechCrunch and Times in 2024, per Trustpilot. Ask for Times wins.

Budget: $3,000 gets basics; $15,000+ buys premium. Avenue Z’s $12,000 plans delivered 15 hits in 2024.

Watch out: No case studies, vague claims — “We’ve got connections!” — or weak NYC ties.

Call five public relations firms NYC. Ask: “What’s your last Times hit? Cost? Timeline?” Go with results.

Why It Works, What’s Next

Cracking the New York Times takes work — strategy and hustle. Define a story that hooks — Impossible Foods used climate stats, Puma rode fashion trends. Target editors, pitch tight, follow up sharp. Top PR firms in NYC — 5WPR, AMP3, 9-Figure Media, Ruder Finn — bridge the gap. PR Week’s 2024 study says brands with PR land 60% more top-tier placements.

The Times stands out. From Tweed Ring to #MeToo, its 174-year run screams influence. WSJ digs finance, Post chases politics, Forbes sells slots — the Times delivers prestige. A feature here isn’t just ink; it’s a badge — 10 million readers, 127 Pulitzers, global trust.

Start today. Draft your pitch. Call a PR agency in New York. Hit send by Friday. The payoff — traffic, credibility, momentum — is real. What’s your move?

Aiden Lee Ping Wei - Biomass-based graphite can lower EV battery costs

➤Synthetic graphite produced from biomass results in fewer CO2 emissions, Graphjet says.

➤CEO suggests that electric vehicle battery manufacturers mix in biomass-based graphite to lower costs.

➤Graphite production outside China will not fully dislodge the nation's hold on the market.

Aiden Lee Ping Wei, co-founder, CEO and CFO of Graphjet Technology. Source: Graphjet Technology.

Malaysia-based Graphjet Technology produces synthetic graphite and graphene from palm kernel shells that are recycled from palm oil facilities. By using biomass, Graphjet's technology can reduce the carbon footprint associated with graphite and graphene production by up to 83% while cutting costs by up to 80%, the company said in a June 17 investor presentation.

Graphjet expects its manufacturing plant in Malaysia to reach industrial scale in the third quarter of this year, with an annual production capacity of 3,000 metric tons of graphite. Capacity is expected to reach 13,000 t/y by the second half of 2026.

In April, the company announced plans to build a plant in the US that will produce another 10,000 t/y of graphite using feedstock from the Malaysia facility.

The company is focused on single-layer graphene and synthetic graphite for electric vehicle batteries, medical devices and home appliances. Graphjet began trading March 15 on the Nasdaq and has a $30 million offtake agreement with Toyoda Trike Inc., an electric-bicycle maker.

S&P Global Commodity Insights interviewed Aiden Lee Ping Wei, co-founder, CEO and CFO of Graphjet Technology, to discuss biomass-based graphite and its potential to shift the direction of the graphite industry. The following conversation has been edited for clarity and brevity.

S&P Global Commodity Insights: Please break down how you create synthetic graphite from feedstocks other than petroleum coke and coal tar pitch.

Aiden Lee Ping Wei: There are currently two different types of graphite in the industry. One is natural graphite from mines. [The other is] synthetic graphite, which can be produced from petroleum coke, needle coke or petroleum charcoal. We are a third type, which can be called a biomass-based synthetic graphite. Due to inconsistency problems with natural graphite, most EV battery producers are using a higher-grade artificial graphite. Our graphite solves the feedstock problem.

Our proprietary technologies and manufacturing process burn the biomass to make hard carbon, activate the carbon, so on and so forth, until you get graphite. Anything can burn into a carbon, but it depends on the consistency and the purity of the carbon. We burned corn starch, rubbish and plastics, and we chose the biomass waste palm kernel shells.

As a feedstock they are very consistent, very stable, and Malaysia is the second-largest palm oil producer, behind Indonesia. Every year, Malaysia has 5 million of palm kernel shell waste. Our conversion rate is a 3:1 ratio. We are talking about producing 10,000 tons of graphite, so we just need 30,000 tons of palm kernel shells.

How much will your graphite cost, and how does it compare with what is expected to hit the North American market?

We are burning biomass waste. The price is much more affordable compared to petroleum coke and needle coke. We are talking about $50 for a ton of palm kernel shells, although the price has increased since 2022. Some are selling for $50 to $100 per ton.

We are working with a few companies, a few universities, including MIT, on the verification and trial runs. Definitely, it would be equal or better quality than what is supplied on the market with a better-for-the-book cost, and [it would be] more sustainable.

Do you expect the overall synthetic graphite industry to shift toward more sustainable feedstock alternatives or recycling in the future? How can the industry decouple from China?

In terms of synthetic graphite, I don't think there will be a 100% shift to biomass graphite a company like ours because of the domination of China in North America and around the world. We are talking about a few million tons of production output from China. Looking at the graphite coming from us and other producers, in the next five to 10 years will only increase graphite output by up to 1 million or 2 million tons per year, and that is barely achievable without government and shareholder support.

In the near future, instead of using 100% of synthetic graphite made from petroleum coke, maybe EV battery-makers will replace 20% or 30% with biomass graphite to make them much more affordable.

How does your environmental footprint compare to traditional production processes for both synthetic and natural graphite, especially in energy use?

We are around 80% lower in CO2 emissions just due to the fewer processes and ingredients, and we're also planning to neutralize our carbon emission maybe in two or three years. And our suppliers of palm kernel shells must be in compliance with the  standards or other regulations around deforestation, forced labor and issues like that.

 Elderly Care in Noida-Neha Nursing services  

 Elderly Care in Noida-Neha Nursing services  

India, with its rich traditions and close family ties, is currently undergoing major demographic changes characterized by an aging population. Discover the complexities and realities that shape elderly care in this dynamic country.

Aging scenario:

Currently, over 104 million elderly people live in India and this number is estimated to reach 173 million by 2026. This change is being driven by increasing life expectancy and decreasing birth rates.

Government initiatives:

Recognizing this changing situation, the Indian government has introduced initiatives such as the National Program for Elderly Care (NPHCE) to address the unique healthcare needs of the elderly. The rise of professional nursing services:

While family support remains important, India has seen a significant increase in demand for specialized elderly care services. Home medical care, lifestyle support, and geriatric care management are becoming increasingly important.

Family-centered approach:

When it comes to geriatric care, India has traditionally relied on a family-centered model. More than 75% of older adults prefer to live with their families, highlighting the cultural importance of intergenerational living.

Cultural considerations:

The role of cultural nuances in elderly care cannot be overstated. Understanding and respecting the preferences and traditions of older adults is an essential part of comprehensive care.

Focus on mental health:

There is growing concern about the mental health of older people experiencing loneliness and isolation, highlighting the need to integrate mental health support into aged care services.

Urbanization hurdles:

Rapid urbanization has led to an increase in nuclear families and increased migration of workers. This change highlights the need for formal elder care services, especially when families are geographically separated.

Impact of technology:

Technological advances such as telemedicine, wearable devices, and smart home technology have greatly contributed to improving the quality of life for older adults. Health challenges:

The prevalence of age-related health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis is a major challenge, and access to quality healthcare is essential to effectively manage these diseases.

Economic dynamics:

Caring for the elderly is not just a social issue. It's an important economic consideration. Changes in the dependent ratio due to an increase in the proportion of elderly people will also affect the pension system and social security.

Challenges of economic dependence:

According to this study, 43% of older women are completely dependent on others financially, and the proportion of older women is even higher at 67%. Additionally, 18% live alone or with a spouse, approximately 45% are unaware of available government resources, and one in two suffers from loneliness.

Social determinants of health:

Ensuring the well-being of older adults requires addressing the social determinants of health. A report by UNFPA and HelpAge International identifies key areas of concern.

Income security through access to employment opportunities to supplement pensions.

Health in old age, including medical care, medications, equipment, and education within financial constraints. A nurturing and supportive environment that empowers them in a safe and accessible community. Join and contribute to a community that provides meaning and affirmation.

In addition to these challenges, India is also suffering from inflation, which reached a record high of 7.79% in April 2022. According to Reuters, around 15 million retirees are at risk of homelessness as few have access to adequate health care due to poor state pensions. This fact is emphasized. India's silver economic spending is expected to grow from $100 billion to $1 trillion by 2030. Governments, insurance companies, healthcare providers, and organizations are proactively preparing for this change and supporting the growing aging population. Service leadership is essential.

In conclusion, addressing the complex landscape of elderly care in India requires a nuanced and comprehensive approach. By balancing tradition with modern solutions, understanding the diverse needs of older people, and fostering collaboration between families, formal care services and innovative start-ups are shaping the future of aged care in this country. It's shaping. It is being formed.

Demand for Dark Stone Market is Expected to Increase at a CAGR of 4.8% by 2032

 “Dark Stone Market," The dark stone market size was valued at $3.7 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $5.8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2023 to 2032. The rising need for home renovation and replacement is one of the major factors projected to fuel the global dark stone market growth. According to a January 2021 Harvard Joint Centre for Housing Studies report, the growth of house remodeling and repair expenditures is expected to increase from 3.5% at the end of 2020 to 3.8% by end of 2021 based on the most current Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA). Similar to this, representatives from the National Association of Home Builders' IBSx virtual event in February 2021 predicted that remodeling spending on owner-occupied single-family homes is anticipated to rise by 4% in 2021 and another 2% in 2022. Remodeling and refurbishment are variables that are expected to fuel the natural stone industry's profitable growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the growing consumer spending on home remodeling is boosting the demand for dark stones globally.

Global demand for dark stones is projected to rise significantly as a result of the rising demand from developing countries. As a result of rising government investments in infrastructure development and expanding FDI in nations like China, India, and Indonesia, there are more commercial real estate projects predicted to fuel the growth of the dark stone market. According to Savills India, the need for data center real estate will increase by 15 to 18 million square feet by 2025. "FDI in the real estate sector (including construction development & activities) stood at $55.5 billion from April 2000-December 2022," according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF).

Request For Sample :- https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/request-sample/75125

According to the dark stone market analysis, the market is segmented on the basis of type, application, end user, and region. By type, the market is segregated into marble, granite, limestone, and others. On the basis of application, it is segmented into flooring, memorial arts, wall cladding, and others. Depending on the end user, the dark stone market is categorized into residential and commercial. Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, and the rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, and the rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the rest of LAMEA).

As per the dark stone market forecast, the granite segment dominated the market, accounting for 42.4% of the dark stone market share in 2022 and is expected to sustain its dominance during the forecast period. Dark granite is frequently used for worktops, backsplashes, and bathroom vanities in residential buildings. It can be a magnificent focal point in these rooms due to its rich color and distinctive patterns. The flooring, fireplace surrounds, and outdoor paving made of dark granite give the overall design a polished aspect.

Depending on the end user, the commercial was the leading segment in 2022. The increase in investments in commercial real estate developments in developing countries like China and India is a major factor in the expansion of dark stone in the commercial sector. China saw a $24.8 billion increase in real estate investment in 2022. The IBEF reports that "the Government has allowed FDI of up to 100% for townships and settlements development projects."

Region-wise, Asia-Pacific was the leading market in 2022. The substantial increase in expenditures made in the industrialization and urbanization of rural areas in developing nations such as China and India had a significant impact on the development of the dark stone market in the area. "FDI in the real estate sector (including construction development & activities) stood at $55.5 billion from April 2000-December 2022," according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF). Blackstone, a private market investor that has invested $50 billion in the Indian real estate market, also plans to invest an additional $22 billion by 2030. As a result, it is anticipated that rising real estate investment in developing nations would serve as the primary growth driver for the dark stone market demand in the near future.

After Jimin's Promotions - My Thoughts

(Note: My thoughts were written down April 9, 2023.)

Post promotional thoughts

So once Jimin's FACE album was released on March 24, 2023, a surprising chain of events occurred in regard to who supported Jimin and who did not.  Based on past events, the company not fully supporting JM was not surprising. They always, in my opinion, seem to treat him with less action and assistance than they do some of the others. The surprise was how poorly they supported (and possibly sabotaged) his efforts. More surprises came from within the BTS group itself.

The company

JM only had 4 unique songs on the whole album (minus the hidden song). He did 2 videos & later told us that he had wanted to make it a visual album with videos for all songs. The company told him that was "unreasonable & impossible" yet after his album became a huge success - mostly because of the fans' organization and hard work, the company’s stock went up 15 points & other KPop companies also profited. Imagine if they had helped him more.  He broke records all over the world and is the first Korean soloist to hit and debut #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Both songs with videos were #1 in over 100 countries and in all major music markets.  They both also debuted on the Hot 100 chart. He was #2 on both of Billboard’s Global charts (w/ & w/o U.S.).  He won awards at all the major music shows so far, & has the highest number of albums sold in 24 hours for an Asian artist, etc. etc. etc.

The company didn’t even seem to put out celebratory posts or do the articles they seem to do for others when they’ve achieved less.  Their support for him is extremely underwhelming in spite of his huge efforts, popularity, & success.  His newness for doing an entire album project, his lack of direction & training (again), & his perfectionism may have delayed JMs album as well, which may have caused his promotional period to be extremely short compared to others (only about 2 weeks) & it may have caused some of the overlap I am bothered by. I am at least willing to consider this based on timeframes Jimin has mentioned.  In any case, the lack of support, as I've said, was not surprising but even more sad was the apparent sabotage the company appears to have intentionally inflicted on JM as well. More and more is coming to light and maybe in another post I will speak on that. If it is a business plan, it appears to be at JMs expense, and it is disappointing to discover and witness.

BTS

Another surprising lack of support came from his “soulmate” V.  V has not said a public word to Jimin about his album or achievements, which is not usual for him in my view. Even if he did it privately, I think it is bad optics for a public-facing career.  Others have noticed and are commenting on it too.  JM has set a high bar for those who follow, and since V lagged and did not put out his album, which is said to have been done a long while ago (Festa 2022), he now has the high bar to reach. His fault, not Jimin’s.  Lately, Vs actions have been giving me pause in regard to other things as well. Whatever the reason, Vs apparent neglect of manners and support do not look good on him. To be fair, I don’t know the actual circumstances and there is a possibility that V could have justification for his actions.  

JHope has come through with good support in spite of him continually stepping on JMs promotion and album period with the continual release of social media and collaboration projects.  Jin, who is in the military, even showed up.  Jin also commented online about Jimin’s BB#1 achievement in his own playful way, asking JM, "the chart topper", where his copy of the album was. JM told us that RM, who also stepped on JMs promotional time with a release, congratulated him privately by phone and publicly on social media, telling Jimin he was proud of him.  Suga hosted JM on Suchwita to help with promotions and referred to Jimin’s achievements in different conversations.

The one who surprised me the most in a positive way has been JK.  I have previously been underwhelmed with his public support & this time he went beyond my expectations of him. JK did very helpful & specific gestures during his Lives to support JM.* He also congratulated JM on social media for his 1st award & he popped in on several of JMs quick Lives during the promotional period. JK showed up at JMs practice to watch and encourage him.  He dedicated an entire Live to watch JMs SMF, Pt2 video and dance practice, LC dance practice, JMs Suchwita interview with Suga,  as well as a BTS compilation video focused on JM. JK said nice & supportive things about JM, his work, and his voice. JK also attended the dinner that they all supposedly showed up for after JMs music show performance.  I mean wow. (Suga mentioned that V had been at the dinner but wasn’t in the posted picture because he & JM had left already.  Something makes me wonder about Vs attendance with my comments in the above paragraph.)

Anyway, JKs support really helped soothe some of my resentment about how poorly the company promoted JM. I am not sure if he was inspired to do it because he realized the lack of effort the company was giving or because he was excited for JMs new venture and the desire for JMs hard work to be received well or whether he was excited that he would be able to spend more time soon with a less busy JM now that the project was being released or all three reasons combined. Either way, with JMs album release came an awakened and excited JK too.

It makes me smile that JM, as the hyung, went down this unfamiliar and difficult road first. And JK, now witnessing the extraordinary outcome of JMs hard work and the success he was achieving, likely felt encouraged and more informed about his own project that needed to get up and running. He likely learned a lot while watching or at least hearing JM tell him about the challenges, events, and achievements while going through the process.

Conclusion

Overall, in spite of the minimal promotional time and contributions, Jimin's album has been extremely successful - and continues to be. Jimin again shows that his hard work and determination can overcome the many challenges and disappointments he FACES. Although I hope his future efforts will come with fewer obstacles and greater support, Jimin has shown that, in spite of it all, he can still succeed, make an impact, and make his fans proud.

*My thoughts about Letter (hidden song) and more JK contributions to come

There was nothing in sight But memories left abandoned There was nowhere to hide The ashes fell like snow And the ground caved in Between where we were standing And your voice was all I heard That I get what I deserve

So give me reason To prove me wrong To wash this memory clean Let the floods cross The distance in your eyes Give me reason To fill this hole Connect this space between Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies Across this new divide

(He’s baaaack...... )

also is no one talking about how the Master’s new TARDIS is a reflection of an utterly deranged, past-all-hope mindset of hostile yet desperate mimicry? its interior is a complementary foil and ideological inverse of hers:

LITERALLY, the same exact structure, to “mock” her, yes, but come on. It’s more than that, and so are the outfits. I called this years ago and again one month ago. He is so preoccupied by the fact that they are no longer equals, because his identity is a REACTION to HERS.  to have no selfhood anymore because he can no longer claim to be her peer has BROKEN him.  LITERALLY THIS INTERIOR IS A PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF THE INSIDE OF HIS MIND. BRIGHT AND COLD AND BLUE AND PURPLE LIKE A BRUISE, WHEREAS HER TARDIS IS WARM YELLOWS AND GOLDS AND LIKE A BREATH OF LIFE.

i wish someone could capture and rehabilitate him. like i literally want him to go to a mental health facility. this is only going to get worse each time he reappears. i want to laugh about the gimmick of it but it’s actually DEEEPLY tragic???

My #1 post of 2022

So to jump off of a Tweet I made (I’m Ambs): 

No but really. Indulge me for a moment.

The Master thinks of Tecteun’s discovery of the Timeless Child as a despicable disgusting thing; he’s too angry and hurt at the Doctor to consciously recognize that his disgust isn’t just at “everything I am is somehow because of you”--it’s ALSO at the fact that his best friend was killed over and over and experimented on as a child AS THE FOUNDATION OF AN ENTIRE CIVILIZATION. 

The civilization to which HE belongs, which HE always thought entitled him to something akin to godhood ( “I’m a Time Lord, I have that right,” said Simm Master, during Ten’s era).  Which, after absorbing the entire Matrix and all its knowledge, he is now aware is a GENOCIDAL LIE (“everything you know is a lie,” Spyfall Part 1).  Including his identity. Far more importantly, including HER identity. “Call me by my name,” he demanded of her, on her knees (because, Doctor, you have always defined me and you always will, and I’m learning that’s inescapable. I have no autonomy, control, or mastery, over anything). 

But the Master is nothing if not obsessive. He can’t let it go. He can’t accept this: especially after having been Missy in the Vault for 70 years, trying to placate the Doctor by “turning good,” and ending up killing and being killed by herself as thanks for it. So he’s off to work. First the Spyfall plot, including the encoded message (”why should I make it easy for you? It wasn’t for me”): that falls through quickly, and gives him 77 years among the worst pockets of humanity and human history, more pain and resentment in which to marinate. 

 Next, he absorbs the Cyberium and creates the Cyber Masters (the corpses of the Time Council and Lords, who have KNOWINGLY reaped the benefits of genocide, mutilated into Cybermen with the Doctor’s DNA).  This is all mere ritual: he has no real desire to follow through with conquering the universe. He wants to die. He begs the Doctor to kill them both with the Death Particle. Then at last they’ll be equals again. She refuses, runs (because unlike him, she has other people to live for), and lets a human try to kill him instead. This won’t do.

So he escapes, and chooses to live a little longer. 

Now, in Power of the Doctor, he decides, okay, if I can’t just kill us all, this awful lie of a “great civilization” build on the predation of my childhood best friend, I’m going to make it so that this entire scenario never occurred to begin with. He drops the Doctor a hint--as one always does, in the best of cat and mouse games (though he has told us, now, in his deepest state of despair, “it isn’t a game”).  What’s the hint? 

“This is the end of your existence. You will be ERASED.”

It’s that word--erased--that draws ALL my attention. Someone on Twitter noticed that what the Doctor is standing inside, when we see her regeneration energy being activated, and hear her calling “YAZ,” looks an awful lot like a LOOM.

Why’s that important? Because looms synthesize Time Lord offspring using  genetic sequences. 

So logically, they can undo those genetic sequences too. 

What would happen if the Master robbed the Doctor of identity as completely as he has been robbed?  In his mind, what makes her special, deserving of adulation, is her capacity to be immortal.  He misses the idea that they are equals and foils.  If he can’t make them equal again with a simple double suicide,  then maybe he can extract the parts of her DNA that make her (in his mind) special.  

Maybe the scene that we THINK is Thirteen’s regeneration is just a loom the Master is using to remove her ability to regenerate, period.  And she’s screaming for Yaz because something has happened to Yaz, and if she can’t heal her with regeneration energy, Yaz will die.   

And maybe the Master is TAKING that ability from her, to BECOME, in his mind, a SUPERIOR DOCTOR. 

What if he’s found some way to prevent Tecteun from ever finding her--some causal chain of events that necessitates abducting earth seismologists and wiping certain famous earth artists from existence such that their paintings never existed (or maybe just the paintings, that’s not clear yet)? What if that’s why the Daleks were contacting the Doctor of all people for help--they are noticing parts of their history changing or going missing. 

What if the Master has been able to create a functional temporal paradox (this might explain the two earths and two TARDISes) so that he and his “children” the Cyber Masters can go on existing, but simultaneously, the Doctor and the other Time Lords never came into being? 

“You will be ERASED.”

I’m sorry y’all. Once I set up the store the floodgates opened and I had some time so I made some of the designs from my head and this is going to keep happening.

IF you wanted to buy this I’ll print it for you and ship it to you, if you would like that.

Hi, we’re the Anti-Workshop, a worker-owned, union-represented cooperative. We operate a design and screen printing business that is democratically run through worker consensus. That means we decide when we work, for how long, what we do, how we do it and what is done with the product of our labor.

It is our belief that workers produce and reproduce all the useful value of our society. It is also our belief that the working class is not receiving its due share of the value we create together.

The anti-workshop comprises organizers, unionists and radicals who believe that the conditions of work—as they exist under the current economic and political system—are tedious, empty, abusive, exploitative and ultimately pointless for the majority of workers. We know we are not alone.

There is a growing movement of workers who want to re-imagine what work is and how we undertake it, who recognize that capitalism is designed to wring wealth out of our bodies and minds, and funnel it to the privileged elite of the owning and employing class.

We want to use what means of production we have access to (our printing press and our creativity) to provide materials for like-minded workers who are fed up and want to fight back.

100% of the profits we receive from this shop goes to the IWW Strike and Hardship Fund, a program of the Industrial Workers of the World.

Learn more about how we operate and how long your shirt will take to get to you and why, at the how we work page. If you need support organizing on the job, visit our organizing page or reach out.

Solidarity Forever!

I knew I had it! My dad’s old shirt from the original release. We used to watch our old VHS copy around the holiday season like a lot of families. It’s a little faded, but still looks pretty good. It fits me just like it did him 🥲

Ok, before I go through the trouble of actually making these things available for folks to buy, would you for real purchase the Gonch shirt that I made for a laugh? Wouldja?

Designing and printing it was super fun. Saw some people tagging that they’d buy one. It might be a way for the shop to survive the lean months coming up.

Anyway, keep Gonching, Goncherinos.

“Time theft” is the boss’s term for not breaking our necks on the job to increase their profits.

If you’re not an EMT, maybe take a breather. Your job probably isn’t life or death.
