I wonder why dua left… I always thought they were good managers but it seems like Lana and Dua were just a fluke

Yeah no, posting explicit photos of children is not just "crossing the line". You do better.

Not to sidetrack the conversation but FElon got rid of like 80% of previous twitter staff. There is literally no one running that ship which is why the app is slowly coming apart

I don't feel bad for him. I feel bad for her, i hope someone close to her can help her. But wait... why Lana look legit asf in hers?

i dont trust any artist that spotify consistently tries to push on me even when i consistently skip their songs edit: i mean the song is decent but the above puts me off

bring your love stuart price mix >>>> i need more Ibiza vibes

Like others have said, it's not just the financial aspect, but it's the connections you have too. I know plenty of well-off people who can dedicate lots of time to doing what they love without any other form of income apart from the bank of mum and dad, but they don't have the connections to break into the industry. I get this is a prewritten PR statement to avoid backlash, but it's not truly acknowledging the full bounds of being a nepo baby. I will give her some gracie though because I haven't actually watched the full interview and she might have discussed this too. And I disagree with people saying that music nepotism is different to other forms of nepotism. Whilst artists do eventually find their audience, in the modern day audiences have their music curated for them with playlisting, radio, advertisements and what have you- all of which Gracie has had a big backing for through nepotism! Why don't nepo babies dedicate time to their craft and find an audience in an organic way without relying on connections? Because it's easier, but they refuse to admit that they don't work as hard as those who came into the industry with nothing to their name (rare these days, but I do think PinkPantheress is a great example of this). I think the only form of nepotism that is somewhat different is like, medical nepotism or something. Talent and skills that are actually quantifiable.

And i'm not denying any of that edit: just wanted to expand, i and other social workers i know (definitely not all) work hard to address and overcome biases, it's why we have regular supervisions to discuss and reflect on our practice constantly (in the UK, but I assume practice in US is somewhat similar and supervision is consistent). i just don't agree with the language used that it's comparable to an armed SWAT team that could kill you the moment they step into the home. ultimately, we are trying to investigate the welfare of the child and we have to follow due processes (which pete acknowledges) but unfortunately this does include sometimes investigating malicious referrals for the sake of a child's safety. i don't disagree that at the same time, our systems consistently fail minority families

the dislikes on this lol… no one's disputing the fact that it is a stressful, invasive, and sometimes traumatic experience to go through however AS A SOCIAL WORKER it's very disheartening to see a politician compare investigating a referral to literal armed officers bashing your doors down with guns. let's exercise a little nuance here edit: and i'm not excusing/ignoring/overlooking that it was a malicious & probably homophobic report made against him ! i'm talking about the language used here

comparing social workers to armed SWAT officers is an interesting take

I'm just speaking in regards to the UK, it's not the norm to have sliding windows, they open outwards or inwards so under window AC doesn't work. The rest just circles back to paying a minimum of £1k to install any other type of AC unit which people aren't willing to do and just can't afford. Portable AC units are the cheaper way to go, I should probably invest in one. & yeah an apartment probably doesn't need more than one unit but a house would, unless everyone wants to sleep in the living room ! the majority of the uk population live in houses

The average person doesn't have the money to spend £1k+ on A/C per room for short heatwaves (though I'm aware it's only worse from here), additionally windows in the UK (not sure about the rest of Europe) aren't built for window AC units. We probs should start splurging on smaller AC units that range from 300-500 but tbh, people (including myself sometimes) are too stubborn to even spend that much for something that will be used for less than 2 weeks in a year. OT: We're going to perish so severely. Live your life i guess

Whatever you wanna call him… besides the point of my post

Kinda just repeating what others have said, but a music critic is obviously well within their rights to analyse what they believe to be poor songwriting. However, the way Fantano has gone about this is very strange and misogynistic, but reflective of how the world treats people (especially women) with disabilities and other debilitating health conditions in general. Those defending him are clearly people who have never had such a tragic experience with their health, I don't think people really understand or can comprehend how much a health problem can change your world… Main character syndrome: "You are the protagonist and everyone else is often a sidekick or a villain. You often see yourself as the most important person in the room, and you act according to the narrative of your plot — however you define it." - I really don't think exploring the topic of your health and mortality fits into this description, but I can see how able and healthy people would struggle to understand this until they face it themselves. Halsey should have dragged him more tbh!

Don't really think it's a puritan take to think "I'm grown but I look like a little girl, come put something big in my little house" borders on pedophilic
