This song naturally came up at karaoke recently, and a queer SW in attendance let slip some resentment that its ascent as a lesbian anthem had denuded it of its subject matter… Which, insofar as SW story-songs are a country music touchstone, actually makes this cover a more faithful use of the track

The way project management is given to work is that a person at the top of an org, with the power to direct resources and compel work, will "claim" a project for credit. If that person leaves the org, their projects fall hard. Why was anyone ever for this, ppl ask

I was going to say “Violence on my timeline” but on second thought this is a pretty devastating and unwelcome thing to seriously consider about Andor and its politics.
Say what you will about Tony Gilroy, I believe he would at least respect HIMSELF enough to avoid Guy Fawkes masks, on-brand or -off

Meanwhile, moving to NY has caused YouTube to flag my membership to the family YouTube premium acct and I’ve returned to the ordeal of advertising. Before the vid was an ad for a paid aryan girlfriend chatbot service.

The Democratic Party is so committed to mistrusting and de-emphasizing grassroots swells of support that they legitimately believe “issues” are a thing that they direct and control, rather than things that they respond to and capitalize on. It makes me feel insane.

Sickening that the strong blue showing last week is being cited as a patch on the odds of this fucking crap shoot Kaine and co. are throwing with the future of the ACA. Like “oh one more thing: if you do take this opportunity we’re giving you to humiliate us? There’ll be some kids itching to fight”

This is fun, but as a left art freak I have to take a Baudrillardian view of art. Ie, that it doesn’t disrupt contrivances in order to pull audiences toward a necessary reality, only toward another depiction of the world.
Art does not question or decipher anything. The beholder does that.
