Poptimism is over. Streams are down. But she still triumphed. Why?
Olivia's music is not sonically materially different than that of Sabrina and certainly not materially different than Chappell's. And in fact, her most recent album is her most pop album to date. The effort to put her in a class of artists that has more rock tendencies was mostly a political, marketing effort to note influences after she was bullied by a certain other pop star. But no one in the industry, especially not critics seriously thinks of her as anything other than a pop star.

It's just a fantastic album! Quite simple.

DailyMail: Super Bowl halftime show in crisis, Jay-Z might do it himself with friends
I don't think they will struggle with getting a performer. Has anyone called up Billie, BTS, Karol, Imagine Dragons, Harry Styles. I do feel like it's time for them to have a woman do it. It's been men for 3 years in a row now.

I am sure you know this, but for anyone looking at this, don't get too excited. This means very little due to the amount of undecided.

Critiques about Gaga and her recent milestone have to stop.
ATRL is full of misogynistic men but it directed at all women here. I don't see why it needs to stop for lady gaga but not any other mpg.

Hasan Piker: "America [because they've killed more globally] is worse than Al-Queda"
Now I never said majority. I said a lot. To be honest; the vast majority of people do not follow politics at all so would not have many thoughts overall. What I think is true, is that for the population of people who are angry, about the status quo (who tend to be a lot of the undecided type), he provides a vision and a relatively healthy target to direct the anger.

Do you stop listening to MAGA artists?
There was a thread here after Olivia joined Gwen Stefani at the sphere.

Do you stop listening to MAGA artists?
It depends on whether they are actually MAGA or just people ATRL calls MAGA. I do not listen to real maga artists like Carrie Underwood. I still listen to people ATRL calls MAGA like Beyonce and Olivia Rodrigo.

Are you patriotic for your country?
I don't really have any love for the US. I think it's government is an imperialist terror state, I think it's cities are glorified parking lot, I think the culture is full of entitled small minded people, and between the guns, car culture, food chemicals, healthcare, and cost of living, this country is actively trying to kill me.

2026 US Midterms Megathread 🇺🇸 Election November 3, 2026
Who is saying that there is going to be a "blue tsunami"? I am seeing that democrats will maybe get a small majority in the house and gain 2 seats in the senate (but still be in the minority).
