I feel like Green Day did the bare minimum in terms of political commentary, but you just know conservatives will get riled up anyway just by them saying the F word

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I dig the new Harry Styles song, if only because it’s different from what he’s been doing for three albums straight. Might be his most daring song since Sign of the Times.

You may see a familiar face on the Masked Singer tonight…🤭

TikTok is a special place where for years you follow a woman who does silly skits about working in the restaurant industry and then you find out she drove 12 hours to attend the Charlie Kirk memorial.

It cannot be a coincidence that Disney announced Camp Rock 3 hours before the Jimmy Kimmel story broke

I'm seeing some people post this and not realize this is PART of the radicalization. Building an audience from reasonable sounding videos and converting them into the pipeline. Weiss is doing this now as I get The Free Press ads about things like "low tech parenting" and workout fads.

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

Ok I’m hopeful again, there’s only 12 songs and Max Martin and Shellback are producing

As a Taylor Swift fan, I admittedly groaned when I heard she’s announcing a new album already, but I trust her and will wait until more deets come out before I think anything else

If you're reacting to this thread with "Why isn't my opinion as valuable as any so-called critic's?" you are -- how shall I put this? -- the problem. You see a statement that a profession you're not in has value, and your first thought is "I'm being insulted!" You're how we got here.

The Wikipedia article for actor Guy Burnet, which lists him as the only actor to be in both Oppenheimer and the Pitch Perfect franchise. In addition, his birth is listed as [citation needed].

Respectfully this is one of the funniest Wikipedia articles I’ve ever seen

Oh good the part of transcribing where I interrupt the person for no known reason & say something self-indulgent and stupid

A genocide of Palestinians is happening. A genocide of trans ppl is happening. The gov is sending militarized goons to terrorize our communities. Everyone’s stressed the fuck out. We’re all handling it badly as best we can. Our hearts weren’t made to hold this. Let’s give each other more grace.

tfw nobody knows how to pronounce your name

1. Don't snitch-tag.
2. Don't explain to people what they just said.
3. Don't "correct" people's jokes.
4. Don't respond seriously to silly little posts.
5. Don't respond trivially to obviously serious posts.
6. Don't "jocularly insult" people you don't know.

The rest is commentary.

If a 33 year old socialist immigrant Muslim can win the Dem mayoral nomination in a landslide in the biggest city in the entire country

Fuck it man, the game is on, get this shit moving and start fighting

know this: there are people I respect & do not follow. there are people I follow & do not respect. it`s up to fate—i make no apologies of it

If I'm not constantly posting/talking about politics and current events, it's not because I don't care. It's impacting all of us in horrible ways. Protesting is an important form of resistance. Another form of resistance is taking care of yourself and finding joy in life when what they want is for us all to give in to hopelessness and despair.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

You know a movie’s cooking with gas when there’s a whole section about “thematic analysis” on its Wikipedia page

Nice! Where’s Ron Troupe tho?

You can’t subvert expectations that don’t exist

This describes my last five minutes pretty much exactly

You ever get retroactively upset? Like something comes up and you’re genuinely fine with it in the moment, but then other stuff happens later on that makes you dwell on that moment and you walk back your feelings

I firmly believe that every superhero has three identities: their public persona, their superhero alter ego, and their true self, which is often an amalgamation of the two.

Great recap, Clayton! Hoping this becomes a regular thing. That said, I’m getting in the comments to say um, actually, there’s one slip-up on Ally’s pronouns in the first graph of the “Poetry and Compliment Duel” section.
