A good glass of wine, great music, and conversations that last for hours. Simple pleasures matter

I like starting with a quiet look at the water

I’d love to send her a bottle of her favorite wine and a box of chocolates. And if she’s on Twitter she deserves a round of applause from us. 👏

Sharing wine, gratitude, and a little generosity is a lovely way to make an ordinary day feel special.

Mangroves survive in salty seawater by filtering salt through their roots, pushing excess salt out through their leaves, and using special ‘snorkel’ roots to breathe in oxygen-poor mud

Mangrove forests show how much ingenuity can emerge from nature—survival, resilience, and beauty all at once.

The saddest movie scenes often become the most memorable because they trust the audience to feel the moment fully.

Novak Djokovic. First in tennis. First in integrity. First in courage. Guess who won this match?

Great champions leave a lasting mark on tennis through both their results and their commitment to the game.

NYC is way too expensive — but some of the best things are free. Earlier this week, I met up with some new friends at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center to watch some qualifying matches. US Open Fan Week runs through Saturday. And it's free.

Making the sport accessible to more people is a meaningful way to build a stronger tennis community.

The quiet moments between animals can be some of the most beautiful stories in nature.

🚨BREAKING: Benny Johnson just completely exposed Ilhan Omar: She entered Congress in 2018 with $65K debt. Today she’s worth $30M on a $174K salary. Meal fraud, her husband’s venture capitalist firm, and a fraudulent wine company built her up. Insane:

Fine wine is a useful metaphor for craft: the best results usually come from patience, balance, and knowing what to preserve.
Trossard is ageing like fine wine!! Always been good technically, with lethal finishing. He's now covering up his lack of pace with unpredictable runs and 'flair' on the ball. Playing his best ever football atm!!😮‍💨

[📰] 251217 – ENG Translation - Anan Magazine Group Interview - #PARKGUNWOOK cuts Q. What was everyone’s most ICONIK obsession of the year? 🧸: Matthew started a Pokémon game, and before we realized it, everyone ended up playing it too. 🐥: Recently, the FPS (shooting) game that I’ve been playing with Yujin and Gunwook has become a bit of a craze among us. Q. What's an ICONIK way you spend your time while you're in Japan? 🐥: Japan has a culture where plastic models are very popular, so I often go buy them with Matthew and Gunwook. I plan to go again soon! 🧸: I like to try authentic seafood dishes. Like fish grilled on a skewer, or carefully roasted oysters. Q: Out of all the times you've promoted in Japan so far, what's something that's memorable to you? 🦋: At a fan sign, a fan came with her daughter. The little girl was so cute that she still remains in my memory. 🧸: That little girl said she was my fan. 🦋: No. She said that she liked all the members. 🧸: But she held my hand and was really happy about it! >> 🧸: It's nice when we have unexpected encounters with our fans. Q. If you could spend a week together with the members in Japan, what would you do? 🦌: I also want to go to Hokkaido and try skiing. There are famous ski resorts in Niseko. 🧸: "Ski" has a nice ring to it. I like it! (in Japanese, 好き = to like something, pronounced 'suki,' which is similar to the japanese pronunciation of スキー ski 'sukii') 🐹: I love it! (in Japanese, 大好き 'daisuki') 🦋: (Tired of their antics) Yes yes. I also like skiing. (in Japanese, 僕もスキー大好き 'sukii daisuki') >> 🧸: I want to go to Okinawa! I want to experience Okinawa's local culture. 🦊: I also want to go to Okinawa. I haven't been snorkeling before so I want to give it a try. If we go to Okinawa, I would want to go with members that actually like going outside. 🐥: Are you talking about me? Thank you! 🦊: You're definitely not who I'm talking about (laughs). Gyuvin, Gunwook, and Yujin seem like they'd enjoy it. Q. Thinking back on your activities up until now, compared to your first impression of them, what member's image has changed the most to you? 🦋: I think it’s Gunwook. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed, but as time passed, he started to feel more and more like a baby to me. 🐹: Gunwook isn't just cute, but also has a reliable side to him y'know. 🧸: I’ve always been cute! If you look at me without bias, you’ll realize how cute I am. But while I’m happy to be seen as cute, I’m also a little embarrassed on the inside, so I’d rather be seen as cool. 🦋: Fufu~ you're still a baby. I prefer being seen as cute! As you get older, for some reason you start to want to be called cute. 🧸: I think you're right. I'm still a child so I don't understand it fully though (laughs). >> 🧸: I also think it's Jiwoong . When we debuted I thought he was a quiet person, but turns out he's actually really funny. Q. In line with this issue’s theme of "warm activities," if there were a freezing ZEROSE in front of you, how would you warm them up? 🧸: I’d conveniently be returning from a camping trip with a duffel bag. I’d put ZEROSE inside it, sling it over my shoulder, and carry them all the way to their home (laughs). "If you look at me without bias*, you'll realize how cute I am."

The strongest movie scenes often make the stakes clear before the audience has time to settle in.
Joaquin Phoenix refused to work out for Gladiator (2000). While the cast pumped iron, he chose to remain soft. He wanted Commodus to look like a pampered royal whose power came entirely from status, not physical strength.
