*puts tinfoil hat on*

this feels like a inside job so the administration can justify martial law.

and he’s a convenient fall guy b/c he was talking too much about epstein.

West Village Girls are left-NIMBY’s karma.

FAFO doesn’t just apply to MAGA 🤷🏾‍♀️.

protesting the Met Gala is corny af.

it’s a charity event for the Met’s Costume Gallery, so fashion history can be funded and accessible to the public.

the fact that populists reduce it to just red carpet photo ops shows how ignorant everyone has become.

in this 70s rock and roll culture rabbithole - realizing that NIMBYs and anti-abundance policies robbed us free-spirited urban living.

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism
Just read this.

the transphobic children’s book author isn’t very smart, nor is she a good writer.

the book series she wrote 25 years ago happened to be very popular and marketable, but she hasn’t been able to replicate that ever since.

why people ever considered her to be intellectual is beyond me.

unconventional signs of spring:
- 18 year olds crashing out about college decisions
- prom photo discourse
- shen yun posters
- people lining up in front of apartment buildings

tate and tyla aren’t fully landing artistically because they’re trying to be britney and rihanna instead of making the pop siren archetype their own.

the music isn’t bad. tyla’s, in particular, is well executed, but it feels like they’re following a playbook.

As a person who majored in STEM, I was shocked to learn that in the liberal arts, “internship” was frequently short for “unpaid internship.”

Engineering summer jobs have paid good money for quite a while now.

it’s impossible to critique the last 10 years of pop feminism without also critiquing how the media industry’s reliance on unpaid labor made generational wealth a prerequisite for entry.

as long as arts education remains underfunded in this country - there will always be a market for mediocre art.

The disconnect here is that Benson Boone makes music for people who aren’t into music.

So when music enthusiasts make valid criticisms, his army of Stanley cup enjoooyers insist that he’s a “powerhouse performer” unwittingly revealing that they don’t know what one actually is.

Watched Benson Boone’s Bohemian Rhapsody cover. That Pitchfork reviewer was right.

Tbs, it felt like a stunt performance he didn’t have the range for. The vocals were off in weird places and you can tell he was out of breath. His choir ate him up.

Very frat boy karaoke.

populism is political brainrot

the US having a largely uneducated / undereducated populace has been holding back interesting and challenging art.

art becomes stagnant when half the audience needs to be handled with kid gloves.

my most old person take is that most online social commentary coming from zoomers is bad.

almost all of their takes rest on the assumption that all of history started within the past 30 years.

growing up on link suppressed socials certainly adds to it as well.

online social discourse was better when people had to read and write full essays.

Pro-housing activists who have traditionally remained nonpartisan went out of their way to support Harris in the last election, thanks to the work of @yimbysforharris.bsky.social, @armanddomalewski.bsky.social , @johnsonator.bsky.social, and several other people/groups, including us!

it’s like giving your kid brother an unplugged game controller.
the electoral college, but distribute by GDP.

states that can’t create prosperity amongst their own shouldn’t be trusted to make decisions affecting the country.
