Isn't their agency contract pretty recent? Sometime during the middle of the last tour, right? They'd never sign with an agency that controlled everything they do, especially since what they do on their own works well enough to draw the attention of an agency.

I mean, it's already pretty accurate

Congrats!

was it a solo or a duet?

I just nod my head while the more educated people dissect the song, then I'm like "oh yeah, that was masterful use of Melodie there". 🤣

OMG that would be a dream. Brett's voice is already pretty strong and clear.

🙏please let it be the trash hatewatchers.

😭can we just have them back???

Yet another type of toxicity we can escape here under the blue skies 🤣

It does get pretty crowded in the brain. Kinda makes sense why being alone is so... peaceful 🤣

I hope we get something from them 🙏

Yeah they really didn't leave us much to go on. Maybe it was like ripping a bandaid off for them. They had to get it done, then take a break to reset before diving in to work again.

I just think they're taking their time because they've said what they were working on is huge, and apparently very challenging. With this time of year being typically busy for everyone, and them having just finished a world tour AND extra appearances and filming, they might just be taking a vacation

If you can still find the Hilary Hahn mukbang video they did, when they're talking about touring and artist riders and stuff, they talk about needing coffee, caffeine, especially when they were exhausted.

Thanks for this! There were people I hadn't realized moved here 🥰

Oh definitely. The theory only works if the people governing us care about us and want us to do well.

On the surface, states deciding on their own for some things makes sense, in a country as big as the US, when you consider how different each region is in climate, geology, etc. If it's done well, it's fine. Each state has its unique conditions. The problem is how difficult it is to do well.

They've already dealt with the terrible bosses, the greedy politicians, the exploitive CEOs that made their lives worse. They've heard all the excuses why some incompetent shithead is somehow "better" than them, but it doesn't make sense. Being FORCED to hire someone does.

To them, it's impossible to succeed actually just because you were qualified for the job, because too many underqualified people had that job before, and they got it through money and connections.

So how could anyone who DIDN'T bribe or network their way in be successful? They were forced in by "policy", because no one rewards merit. Clearly they didn't earn it either, but that's a policy they can attack.

Of course racists/sexists will call a woman or POC in a position of power a "DEI hire" (or: "Didn't Earn It"). The mediocre white dudes that have had more success than them, just because they knew the boss, bribed their way in, etc. made it obvious that they didn't become successful by their merit.

This is the only version of bumblebee I will accept from now on 🤣

This has always been true. They look so happy together

I blame the fact that they are just so damn adorable. Like, silly and affectionate and talented af. We don't want them to be gone.

🥺

Well. I guess our country has proven who it really cares about. And how many people are willing to pull up the ladder behind them.

the yin and yang of the fandom 🤭

Maybe he's saying don't lose hope 🤭

🥰 this is so cute

4? Didn't he torture violinists enough???
