iPhone Duo CrackGate: shaky debut shows Apple's inexperience as thousands hit
Inch resting, hopefully this is fixed and isolated. I love my Duo, but if this happens to mine, trust I will be getting a replacement as many times as needed from Apple. I don't recall Samsung ever having problems like this with their hinges (where the hinge breaks the screen). HOWEVER... The YouTube reviewer complaining about not taking the Duo to the beach completely covered the Duo with sand and bent it backwards many times until failure. While that is obviously not amazing, this is a thin ass folding phone that is still dust and water resistant. Who is going to bend their phone backwards with that level of force? This was a problem on many earlier Samsung foldables and current foldables from other manufacturers as well, so is this a reaction to the Duo or foldables in general? People who are buying this specific niche form factor are aware of some of the tradeoffs. I only care about defects, not something that happens when you treat your phone like construction machinery.

Times popstars took their fans' advice and it backfired
When Gar made the GUY music video, which may be the original version of slop. The AP fans wanted more sashay huntyyyyy yas mama kweeeeeeen slay slay slay fierce mama boots the house down unhhhhuhh which led to her putting some real housewives, Andy Cohen, a fake Michael Jackson, her being reborn, and a long grey wig in a music video set in a mansion. It only makes sense if you are willing to completely ignore the concept of that album and take extreme creative liberties with the song, and even then, it's just random af. But it's what fans were obsessed with at that time.

Nicki Minaj: "We don't want our children to be bombarded with sex changes"
Justin has two functioning brain cells left. This is like telling a fly to not go towards one of those fly zappers. You could attempt to explain this to him and it will go over his head.

Nicki Minaj: "We don't want our children to be bombarded with sex changes"
She's had more (botched) surgery on just her butt alone than any trans person will have on their entire body within a lifetime.

Do you prefer pop stars to be larger than life or relatable?
Larger than life if I had to choose one, but I'd prefer both if possible. Gaga started off as larger than life to make a huge splash and capture the public's attention, but gradually became more relatable and let people into her personal life as she grew older. It's not easy to constantly put on a spectacle when life becomes significantly more complicated and, all parents know this, you decide to start a family.

Netflix in decline: users are watching less, not opening the App as often
People are inundated with shows and movies everywhere they go now. You can basically watch entire shows on Reels or TikTok now for free, because illegal bot farms keep re-uploading the same content as soon as it's taken down. Also, streaming competition is cut throat right now. Smaller platforms like Apple TV are stealing customers constantly due to higher quality releases. I think Netflix needs to invest in a few new core, long-term series (like they did with Stranger Things) and hire acclaimed writers and directors. This is why HBO Max has done so well and why Apple TV is growing crazy fast.

Dont ever trust celebs/influencers
This is why people need to keep their relationships off social media for the most part. Also @OP, this behavior is nothing new. The same thing happens in person every day in high schools and universities, it's just that online followings add extra mob mentality to something that should have been private from the beginning. The value of a relationship should not be judged by how many people engage with it online.

Miley addresses online criticism after Bowl performance
Since she's probably reading this thread, Miley, what happened to your vocals? I struggled to watch your entire performance of Something Beautiful, during which you sounded like a dying cat trying to breathe. Is this the main reason why you don't tour, because your vocals are fried from years of alcohol and substance abuse?

LISA's "Tarantino" debuts at #44 on Global Spotify (1.91m), #89 US (374k)
That song was also trash, which pissed me off because I was hoping for even the smallest bit of artistic growth, but NO. She had to give us the same tired schtick again because it worked (barely) last time. Not even the streaming farms care anymore at this point.

Housewife absolutely smashing despite pop gays hating Tate, Thoughts?
"Her full potential" and what would that be? She's incredibly basic, so I'd argue she's already living up to her full potential. I lowkey root for her because she at least puts a lot of effort into her performances and MVs. Other girls won't even bother to get near a stage these days. It just sucks that she's so predictable.
