And it's historically Democrats who support giving felons - like her husband - back the right to vote.

Sometimes it's okay to create the melody and production first before writing any of the lyrics.

Sorry, not sure if any of this was posted, I'm catching up ddd. I feel like recent polls have been really good for Nithya Not sure what this is though besides people realizing Bass is DOA and naturally sucking up to the new mayor pre-emptively?? Also of note for 2028:

The way that this would just be a talent flex without the problematic AAVE. Her ability to switch into deep sultriness. This my cookie, this my -

I've mainly used it for things like trying to clean up processes at work, like some departments needing to create a reference table of something and the only list we have of the inventory being scans of 40-page paper invoices? So turning something like that into a spreadsheet easily instead of by hand. The number of people who have been creating flyers or graphics with AI and being like "I think this would be cool, can you do something with it??". ...no, I literally cannot? You handed me an image file of a flyer?

Additional state polling occurring now.

The lyrics aren't even the problem in most cases. It's the "one two buckle my shoe" melody she just keeps re-using on the songs.

Another one of Ariana's daughters.

Hmm not sure how I feel about this one. I feel like I read there was a more progressive candidate on the ballot and people were confused why Bernie and AOC endorsed Sam against the third, Third Way-backed candidate so quickly.

Paranoid reactions to medical realities like this are why drug commercials that air (apparently only) in the US are like: "[Drug name] can reduce bloating and upset stomach... please consult your doctor if experiencing internal bleeding, - volume drops lower - [drug name] can increase your likelihood of suicidal thoughts, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, depression, heart failure, kidney disease, swollen lymph nodes, temporary blindness, temporary loss of hearing, and death. Please consult your doctor before taking."

This being what Zohran's tweet was about.

Yes, America is one of the most successful attempts at a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, interfaith societies that has also birthed one of the most effective LGBTQ rights movements in modern history. America by its design is a country set to have internal conflict, but that tension is why America has also made progress on these conversations. The ideals of what America claims as its domestic policy is something to be incredibly proud of. It's why any patriotic American must also be a Third Worldist. The beauty of the American Dream can't actually exist if built on the bones of others.

We're on a pop forum so obviously we cherish music and as someone who was a streaming hold out as a teen, once you're making your own money, a streaming subscription is pennies on the dollar. But I do think media companies - whether tv, film or music - need to realize that they arguably have already lost the battle on streaming. Audiences have already decided the value they place on media and the vast majority do not rate most media as worth very much, with music unfortunately the lowest on that list (ie: someone is more likely to go see a movie for the experience than buy an album on CD - vinyl is now just house decor). Trying to actively antagonize the consumer is the easiest way to just... make the consumer not bother. I think musical artists know that they're on the bottom of the totem pole of media because there's largely no actual discussion of stuff like platform-specific releases. Spotify/Apple Music/etc. largely having 99% of the same database of releases vs the headache tv/film streaming is. See also: Tidal bombing when trying to launch this very model and framing itself as a luxury, boutique product.

What does the main screen of Apple Music look like? In terms of finding the content of my automatic playlists pretty great, the premade curated playlists they always push to the front of home screen are always something I would listen to. Like I'm not getting recommended "Hot Country Hits" for example. The only bad thing about Spotify was, for a bit, when they were pushing audio books, your home screen would be like: "Oh? You're a MAN listening to ARIANA GRANDE? Here are your top audiobook recommendations: 'THE TRIALS OF A BOTTOM: HOW I TIGHTENED UP MY LOOSE HOLE'" with a headless figure in a jockstrap on a Wordart style cover.

He's being a little performative and heavy-handed (gay men overcompensating to undo years of the idea gay men are misogynistic and find women gross), but I think the bigger tension with him this era is that he doesn't actually seem very comfortable singing about explicitly gay things. "Rush" was kind of a false flag and much of the last era was just glittery pop slathered with gay imagery that landed right. The new MNEK album, while not perfect, made me think "I wonder what Troye would sound like on a MNEK song," but then I realized I actually can't see him on something MNEK would do, either production-wise but also lyrically in how, for better or worse, he dips into gay issues more explicitly. Even on a fan, there's something about his music that still slots his and someone like Conan Gray as "gay men whose primary audience is straight women," (but in those two cases, it's also clearly two very different subsets of women and you can't just generalize straight women so easily either). Like he's never going to put out something like the below, whether for better or worse - for better for those who find such cringe, or worse in that there's a layer there of his work simply never being ever from the POV of about issues impacting gay men sung to other gay men.

She kinda serving 2005 era Robyn. "It's Konichiwa ******* from Beijing to Saigon!"

The source they mention in the Reddit post being.... ATRL.

jnknkjnjkkjn I don't even wanna know what kinda Hiterlite European background someone gotta be to type this **** unironically. "I hate genociders AND Turkish-American metrosexual himbos!!"

I feel like I would like her more and find her endearing without the Mars a Lago tan. A country diva from Alabama needs to be a little pale and homely. And if you're gonna tan, give the people a little country glamour. A little razzle dazzle.
