FOCK

I don't use chat gpt at all & I've never really felt it necessary, either on here or irl. Admittedly, I was quick to trust the Selena Stan account on the "official" claim as like many, I think we're all hyper-conscious of these events atm, though I've explained why I believe such a bulk purchase & resale agreement couldn't have been done without the brand's consent & approval, though I hope I'm wrong.

Strange, I had the opposite reaction. The verses are fairly standard/run of the mill - it's the chorus/hook that stood out & sounds like her strongest in a while, certainly better than anything on AITD imo.

This actually kinda bangs.

The user cited Parallel Imports in defence of Rare - Parallel imports are generally understood to be a grey-area that often bypass official channels, associated with smaller or independent retailers. These are intended to be sold through a reputable, large scale pharmaceutical brand. The public reporting and the branding being used in the video suggests that they have the brand's go ahead, but the products won't be covered by Rare's warranty etc. So technically yes, the manner in which they're being imported & sold is PI, but not without Rare's agreement. Brand's do have the ability to contest the resale of their products. The article uses Parallel Imports to distinguish how the products are being brought in & sold (not through an official Rare store). An agreement would still have to have been made either with Rare, Sephora or both, for the use of branding and for the bulk purchase of stock (noted in the article as millions of shekels worth), and the distribution. Happy to update if the brand issues a response or provides clarity. x

Coincidentally, it came along with this announcement

The brand is already available there via parallel import chains & unofficial resellers. Ynet is reporting this as Rare's actually official distributor in the country.

ynetglobalSelena Gomez’s Rare Beauty is coming to Israeli storesShufersal's Be Pharm will begin selling the Sephora makeup brand in select stores and on its app in August through parallel imports; it is currently available in Israel mainly through independent websSephora in Israel: Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty makeup brand will be sold at Be Pharm. The products will be brought into the country through parallel imports rather than an official launch. The company purchased millions of shekels’ worth of merchandise to prevent stocks from selling out immediately. The brand is already sold by Israeli websites and stores through parallel imports but has not previously been available at a major retail chain. Rare Beauty products will be available beginning in August at select Be Pharm branches and through the Be Pharm app, with next-day delivery. The launch was first revealed at Be Pharm’s Iconic Summer event in Eilat, which featured more than 15 brands in the beauty, skin care, makeup, fragrance, hair care, health and wellness sectors.

The courts have not "shut it down". There was a court ordered paternity test that he actively fought against because it would all but end any arguments he presented, including leveraging his wealth & access to constantly switch the states the cases were being heard in. He actively avoided any transparent, verifiable, biological means in favor of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to save his ass and reputation. This family has literally put everything on the line, including their safety & livelihoods, declaring bankruptcy and now risk losing a house. This is not a baseless claim, and it has been taken seriously by several judges. Jay defenders & stans in denial will bend over backwards to defend this billionaire, crack peddling, R Kelly, Weinstein, Diddy & Epstein linked fed, all because they don't want to face the reality that their fave is likely married to a pedo. They are everything they project on other fanbases - blind allegiance to the PR narrative. You care more about maintaining a manufactured facade, than this man and his godmother's lived reality. They aren't even asking him for money, so extortion claims are baseless & shameless.

I - X He did not understand the assignment.

well You need to update the thread to include Cardi B & her minion fabricating a victims retraction @SmittenCake .

In an alternate reality Nicki would feature on a Quiet on the Creek remix & send a certain someone into a tizzy rn. Lemme dream.

In a current social climate where there's an established pattern of political commentators, CEO's, YouTubers etc targeted, attacked, shot or killed in public - and as a billionaire ceo himself - what exactly is "crackpot" about retaining the services of an established business practice, such as crowd / audience hire? We've seen how he moves generally, and it's never this light or this reachable, except when these same hires show up. With the reporting being currently spread about him, this move makes absolute sense. There's nothing farfetched about it. I don't think quoting Tokyo Toni to accuse others of "mental illness" does you any favours.

He's just dropped a re-release, come off a mini-tour & is actively working to restore his image & public standing, as his entire usefulness & social cache rests on being "respected" or "in demand" in the industry & as a cultural figurehead. However, he's not in a position where he can risk randoms being that close - it would be considered unsafe, but he needs to show he's "of the people". This isn't a show for Twitter, though it keeps him in the algorithm - it's more a show for investors, brands & his paid media affiliates. It's the same reason celebs call paps on themselves, a branding exercise. Alternatively, I wouldn't be surprised if he has a stake in the agency providing these actors, and this is a showcase to platform their efficacy to pitch to other celebs/clients. It wouldn't be a stretch, considering seat fillers are used at award shows & concerts, Live Nation etc.

Stop trying to clout chase off Britney's trauma & keep her name out of your mouth if you're associated with Loucifer. Sympathy & no more payola. X

X Jay Z has once again raised suspicion that the "fans" showing up to have the same Vinyls signed are paid actors. A few of them forgot to swap out the same blue PR bags they were given their Vinyls in. They move in an orderly & rehearsed fashion. None of them appear to be filming as evidence of the interaction/authenticity. The same person for a third time, in the same spot. His security counting the number that showed up. Also, most celebrities are aware of autograph resellers and work to avoid them - not in this case. The same actor showing up for other Bot Nation affiliated artists.

Because she's gonna look like a whole clown after her "strap on" comment vs JT & Uzi. "The worst allegation on a man!" to her, is apparently bisexuality. She had nothing to say about his pink cocaine. Not a shocker considering she's constantly using variations of gay slurs as drags in her lives, or her past of openly fantasising about weaponising trans bodies to sexually assault unconsenting men. It's telling he fathered like 6 kids in the span of a year to various women once these allegations hit.

It's telling how everything she's ever projected on others has manifested in her own life. Another day, another crash out.

You can't completely wash Cyclosporiasis off. It's highly resilient, even against vinegar. The only sure way to eliminate its risk is to heat/cook at 70 degrees celsius.

Taste! All 3 of these tracks are immaculate. I maintain that Monday Morning would've become solidified as an anthem if given the release & push it deserved. People can clown Bionic all they want, they're missing out - it's full of gems. I do wish she got to fulfill her intended vision, but I was happy with the result regardless. Aside from NMT, I think it's aged amazingly.

From the Yahoo article: The lawsuit filed late Monday in federal court in Oakland, California, claims the company used internal AI systems, keystroke and activity-monitoring data, AI token-usage dashboards and algorithmically assisted performance rankings, among other methods, to determine who would be laid off. Many of these scores and ratings "by design, cannot be accumulated by an employee who is on protected medical or family leave, or whose output is reduced by a disability," the lawsuit says. Meta, according to the lawsuit, did not account for protected leave when taking employees' scores into account and "did not pause the system for the individualized, leave- and accommodation-neutral review that the law requires." As a result, people on protected medical or family leave were disproportionately selected for layoffs, the lawsuit says. Each of the 26 anonymous employees in the lawsuit took protected leave and requested or received a reasonable accommodation for disability. Though they have been notified of their layoffs, all 26 remain employed by Meta, with separations set to begin July 22. Many workers were on parental leave Many of the employees in the lawsuit took pregnancy or parental leave, during which time they wouldn't have worked and thus had their measured output reduced. Others took medical leave — one disclosed a "serious health condition and disability" that was approved by Meta's own provider. But according to the lawsuit, he was "discouraged and deterred from taking that leave by a manager" who warned that doing so would result in his selection for the anticipated layoffs. Meta offered no accommodation for his disability, the lawsuit says.

Meta used AI to target workers with medical conditions for layoffs, according to a new lawsuit. Twenty-six former Meta employees are suing, accusing the company of using AI that disproportionately targeted people with disabilities or workers who took medical leave in selecting people for mass layoffs. This has opened up a larger conversation about A.I. Advancements under capitalism being used to detect health conditions early, but in the process, leveraged as a reason to deny health insurance & employment. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/26-meta-employees-sue-alleging-214314905.html

I still remember exactly where I was. I appreciate her vocals on Glory so much. Every track is stellar & pure Britney (except Private Show ). I definitely think the drama around the video being re-filmed effected Make Me's hype on release though. It's a shame, cos it's a beautiful track & she does look HEAVENLY in the official video.

Inch resting. Girl I dunno. But I have trouble believing she doesn't have immediate access to this amount of money. She'd sent out a private jet for her makeup artist and stylist just months ago, she doesn't put work out consistently, takes extended breaks & actively makes decisions that from an outside perspective, would actively harm her brand potential & she's always been extremely tuned in to the nature of contracts she signs etc. She's never had a large entourage, personal PR team or extensive management etc. & there's nothing apparent that she would've blown all her money on. It doesn't look to me like the way someone who's troubled for money moves, imo.
