A chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Twice as many Americans say an alien visit would have a negative effect on human civilization than a positive one."

The chart's sub-headline is: "If aliens visited Earth, do you think it would be more likely to have a positive or negative effect on human
civilization? (%)."

MEDIA: Did you feel it was important to actually lose a third of your body weight just to play your character in this film?

ARIANA: With Glinda, she's in this crazy downward spiral emotionally, physically, mentally. She read to me as though she should look as though she was on the brink of death,

I think it's important not to get doom brain about this ruling

1) he still got found guilty of criminal damage
2) everyone knows what a prick it is
3) there is legal precedent for it being legal to keep a dossier on, and insult, Graham Linehan

"Diss" comes from "disrespect" and it essentially means songs that are fighting words, songs that express something you could get punched for. A song about discovering your husband's secret sex addiction and being heartbroken about it is not a situation in which Lily is in any fear of being shot for

But as savage as West End Girl is about David Harbour, and even with Lily's influence from 90s/00s hip-hop, it's in a totally different tradition of songwriting that predates hip-hop. We can't just start calling any song about someone you are not happy with a diss!!

The Taylor song is OK to call a diss track, she's a very hip-hop-inspired artist who obviously went into it with the mentality of dissing an artist she considered inferior in response to that artist saying something about her in one of her songs. It's in the ideological tradition. Fine. OK

Look I'm sorry and I don't care if this is a "white" opinion but if your understanding of quote unqote "diss tracks" in 2025 consists of three mainstream pop girls writing songs about their exes/ homoeroticised ex-friend, and a comedy song from a video game, you are DOING CULTURAL APPROPRIATION

Omg this is some serious technical innovation. Nobody tell rappers about this

Black Country, New Road made the better song about mental illness, love and the oppressive expectations of middle class English families, but DragonForce made the better song about Space Marines

Yeah a lyrics site run by Talmudically inspired New York backpack types is not going to be as useful a way of understanding Dragonforce as the Guitar Hero Wiki

Let's be positive. If shops start playing awful AI slop to save money, it means supermarket streams will stop factoring into the charts and they might become good again

Lidl owner Schwarz Group invests 11 billion euros in giant data centre - RetailDetail EU Schwarz Group, the parent company of supermarket chains Lidl and Kaufland, is building a huge data center in Germany.

I do a quick Google search and find the CEO of Lidl is a big investor in AI data centres! www.retaildetail.eu/news/food/li...

She actually complained to the manager who said that central office has demanded they play this music and they can't turn it off. She asked him "have other people complained" and he looked sheepish and said "a few"

My Mum abandoned the trolley in the middle of Lidl because the music they were playing in there was so mindbogglingly awful that it drove her to tears. She described them as awful songs that she'd never heard anything like before and that made her feel assaulted, and thinks they must be AI

So, for AdventureX today, the printing company sent a banner for a German crane company instead of for Mind Diver. So I improvised and got the handcrafted vibe going ๐Ÿ˜„ no AI used

(If you work at a German crane company, uhhh, we may have your banner)

(If you're at AdventureX, stop by and say hi!)

Do I know anyone on here who went to a British boys boarding school -preferably the elite kind- within the last 20 years? If that doesn't describe you then retweet this until somebody it does describe sees this.

That was very stupid but that was more the internet discourse grinder move of reducing everybody down to their identities and not taking into account any extra context

It wasn't the same people doing that, though. All of the type of person I've seen talking about the movie understood it had something to do with gender but usually interpreted it as a completely different thing it had to say than what it did have to say
