The Apple TV show is standing at 30% at RT and at 48 at Metacritic. “It was a kick in the teeth. Rolling over, looking up the reviews, and then all of a sudden I was like, ‘Wow. That’s a bad review.’ Sometimes there’s a redeeming quality in there. There was nothing.”

"They're one of the most successful groups of all time. I mean, their fandom's on the level of The Beatles. And they're made up of the most lovely girls. We have a song together, Kiss And Make Up, which I did because I'm a huge fan of theirs, and I even joined them onstage in New Jersey for the first live performance of it. No amount of rehearsal could prepare me to witness the passion and the power of a K-Pop fandom live." "Their music is globally adored, and I love the way they brought Korea to the world."

NPR: The misplaced promise of Kim Petras In the hierarchy of pop music, there are defined tiers of success. Behind the iconic career divas that need no introduction — the Madonnas and Janets of the world — there are industry A-listers, celebrities with established, multi-album careers who could net a diamond record if the cards were right: Billie, Dua, Ariana. Beyond that is where things get a little murky; there are high-tier floaters, precariously moving between the A and B levels of stardom and musical ubiquity depending on the year. Take, for example, Selena Gomez, who, before 2023, had her last big hit pre-pandemic, or SZA, an artist that is five times platinum but still not quite a household name. Then there are up-and-comers shooting up the chart, aided by a fervent fanbase and the top 40 hits to match. These placements, though, are precarious, and this type of pop relevancy could end in an instant if a star can't pivot fast enough to accommodate the changing tastes of an audience. Kim Petras, the 30-year-old German-born pop singer, is currently in the process of figuring out where she wants to be in the pop music echelon. After an early career of releasing demos on Soundcloud, her 2017 run of catchy debut singles positioned her as a newcomer who could potentially dominate the pop charts one day, her aesthetic slotting in comfortably among the more alternative, PC Music-adjacent pop darlings of the late 2010s. On paper, most of her career has aligned with the Ava Maxes and the Bebe Rexhas of the world: precariously placed, C-tier pop stars whose music is shared between gay people with the question "why is this lowkey good?" Artists destined to play at corporate Pride performances and maybe get a platinum single, if they're lucky, making inoffensive, nondescript electro-pop that could appropriately soundtrack a nightclub in a mid-budget Netflix original. Instead, Petras has diverted from this path entirely. Over the past year, she's garnered an international number one hit with over a billion streams — the Sam Smith collaboration "Unholy" — songs with Nicki Minaj and Meghan Trainor, a historic Grammy Award and seemingly the support of the Great American Pop Music Machine. Her newest project and debut album, Feed the Beast, has collaborations with Max Martin and frequent Ariana Grande collaborator ILYA. On its release day, she adorned the stage of the Today show, a place that welcomes A-listers like Lady Gaga and Harry Styles in performances fit for middle American viewers. Through this, she's been poised to reach a level of A-/B+ superstardom, and it would seem that 2023 is meant to be Kim Petras' breakout year. But the paradox of Petras is proving to be unfortunate — her recent debut studio album Feed the Beast proves: the bigger her celebrity becomes, the more unremarkable her music gets. Despite the issues plaguing her start, Kim Petras had promise — and a brand — as a pop star. But her current work seems to toss away everything that originally made her exciting as an artist. The music on Feed the Beast is inauspicious and soulless at its core, with the power and sense of self previously in her work fading away in favor of a disappointing anonymity in both style and substance. It's a premature push for stardom, with her identity as a musician suffering; many of the songs on Feed the Beast play out like an AI sex bot was told to write a song through a parameter of Twitter machinations and platitudes. Lyrics like "I like sex talk / Can you make my bed rock?" are repeated ad-nauseum until they become devoid of true meaning. Though I would pay good money to never hear "Unholy" again, I do respect that Sam Smith seems to have their own vision. The same can be said for Petras' other collaborators, like Minaj, Paris Hilton and even Trainor. Petras herself, however, doesn't seem to have a vision of her own. As the stages get bigger and the hype gets stronger, what made her voice and sense of self identifiable as an artist has fallen secondary to the sound and appeal required of a pop star in 2023. The exciting promise her music was founded on continues to shrink, and in tandem, her work's central appeal begins to be swallowed up by the pursuit of mainstream success. Maybe it's not Petras' fault, but one of the industry she finds herself in; in a way, she might actually be feeding the beast, just not in the way that she hoped.

She attended his 50th birthday party and apparently DJ'd. Some context on him: Under his Moldbug pseudonym, Yarvin gave a talk about "rebooting" the American government at the 2012 BIL Conference. He used it to advocate the acronym "RAGE", which he defined as "Retire All Government Employees". He described what he felt were flaws in the accepted "World War II mythology" alluding to the idea that Hitler's invasions were acts of self-defense. He argued these discrepancies were pushed by America's "ruling communists", who invented political correctness as an "extremely elaborate mechanism for persecuting racists and fascists". "If Americans want to change their government," he said, "they're going to have to get over their dictator phobia." Yarvin's ideas have been influential among right-libertarians and paleolibertarians, and the public discourses of prominent investors like Peter Thiel have echoed Yarvin's project of seceding from the US to establish tech-CEO dictatorships. Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work. He critiqued the attacks by the Norwegian far-right terrorist Anders Behring Breivik -- who killed 77 people, including dozens of children at a youth camp -- not on the grounds that terrorism is wrong but because the killings wouldn't do anything effective to overthrow what Yarvin called Norway's 'communist' government Yarvin has alleged that whites have higher IQs than blacks for genetic reasons. He has been described as a modern-day supporter of slavery, a description he disputes. He has claimed that some races are more suited to slavery than others. In a post that linked approvingly to Steve Sailer and Jared Taylor, he wrote: "It should be obvious that, although I am not a white nationalist, I am not exactly allergic to the stuff." In 2009, he wrote that since US civil rights programs were "applied to populations with recent hunter-gatherer ancestry and no great reputation for sturdy moral fiber", the result was "absolute human garbage."

THE GUARDIAN: Kamala Harris warns of threats to LGBTQ+ rights during visit to Stonewall Kamala Harris urged Americans to continue to battle for equality in the face of fresh waves of anti-LGBTQ+ action and rhetoric by conservatives, as she made a surprise visit to the historic Stonewall Inn in New York City on Monday. The fight for equal rights in the US was not over, Harris said, noting that the bar in the Greenwich Village neighborhood represented an inflection point in history – “a moment that is about equality and a movement that is about freedom”, while adding: “No one should be made to fight.” “There are over 600 bills that are being proposed, anti-LGBTQ bills,” Harris said, calling such moves a “failed policy approach” and adding: “People are afraid to be themselves – these are fundamental issues that point to the need for us to all be vigilant, to stand together.” Harris noted that she “was honored to perform some of the first same-sex marriages in our country back in 2004” and said of the latest homophobic push from the right: “We are not going to be overwhelmed, we’re not going to be silenced, we’re not going to be deterred, we are not going to tire … We’re going to roll up our sleeves. That, to me, [is] what Stonewall means – strength in numbers.”

This comes after her fans have criticized her for staying silent about the recent anti-LGBT legislation in the United States while shilling migraine pills on IG for a quick buck.

The New York version of the US Supreme Court - the New York Court of Appeals - has just partially ruled in favor of Kesha on two appeals by her in a 41-page decision, handing out reversals on various issues that will affect the upcoming jury trial of Dr. Luke's 9 year-long defamation lawsuit against her (currently scheduled to begin next month). The verdict deals a potentially fatal blow to Dr. Luke's suit and might ultimately pave the way for lifting Kesha's self-imposed gag order, following last month's release of her fifth studio album Gag Order! The decision is binding precedent on all New York state courts.
