but like aesthetic/ subculturally. does she lean vintage, clean girl, alt, etc?

West Village Girls are left-NIMBY’s karma.

FAFO doesn’t just apply to MAGA 🤷🏾‍♀️.

what’s your gfs style?

protesting the Met Gala is corny af.

it’s a charity event for the Met’s Costume Gallery, so fashion history can be funded and accessible to the public.

the fact that populists reduce it to just red carpet photo ops shows how ignorant everyone has become.

now? You need an Ivy League degree, a stint at a top bank or consultancy, and a spotless resume just to afford living somewhere that doesn’t suck.

no wonder we’re more straight-laced than our parents - anything less than perfection, and it’s a one-way ticket to exurban wackness.

real estate and compliance costs got so insane that places like the Chelsea Hotel that used to be havens for artists, drifters, and dreamers can only survive today as a luxury hotel, because that’s the only way to stay afloat.

in this 70s rock and roll culture rabbithole - realizing that NIMBYs and anti-abundance policies robbed us free-spirited urban living.

you know that the manosphere is a scam b/c this guy is pulling harder than any red pill grifter.

that is so true.

clock it

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

the transphobic children’s book author isn’t very smart, nor is she a good writer.

the book series she wrote 25 years ago happened to be very popular and marketable, but she hasn’t been able to replicate that ever since.

why people ever considered her to be intellectual is beyond me.

unconventional signs of spring:
- 18 year olds crashing out about college decisions
- prom photo discourse
- shen yun posters
- people lining up in front of apartment buildings

they’re lucky that their zoomer fanbases are perpetually in search for cultural identity and thus will gag over anything

they’re really skilled at reheating nachos, but i want to see them make nachos with their own fixings.

tate and tyla aren’t fully landing artistically because they’re trying to be britney and rihanna instead of making the pop siren archetype their own.

the music isn’t bad. tyla’s, in particular, is well executed, but it feels like they’re following a playbook.

exactly. a lot of these internships pay in prestige and future opportunities, which is valuable for exit opportunities.

but that doesn’t mean much when you can’t hold on long enough to get to that place

As a person who majored in STEM, I was shocked to learn that in the liberal arts, “internship” was frequently short for “unpaid internship.”

Engineering summer jobs have paid good money for quite a while now.

liberal arts folks will hate to hear this, but STEM/business are much more accessible career paths for non-wealthy students because they actually pay their interns / entry level employees livable wages for the work location.

dyed armpit girlboss feminism is shallow, but it’s inevitable when the lena dunhams of the world are the only ones getting opportunities.

it’s impossible to critique the last 10 years of pop feminism without also critiquing how the media industry’s reliance on unpaid labor made generational wealth a prerequisite for entry.

as long as arts education remains underfunded in this country - there will always be a market for mediocre art.

the only way that could have worked is if he brought his own dramatic flair to it.

but he doesn’t have the drama within him, so it just falls flat

The disconnect here is that Benson Boone makes music for people who aren’t into music.

So when music enthusiasts make valid criticisms, his army of Stanley cup enjoooyers insist that he’s a “powerhouse performer” unwittingly revealing that they don’t know what one actually is.

Watched Benson Boone’s Bohemian Rhapsody cover. That Pitchfork reviewer was right.

Tbs, it felt like a stunt performance he didn’t have the range for. The vocals were off in weird places and you can tell he was out of breath. His choir ate him up.

Very frat boy karaoke.

the never-Kamala left disproves this idea.

POV you're voting against an independent central central bank

populism is political brainrot

the US having a largely uneducated / undereducated populace has been holding back interesting and challenging art.

art becomes stagnant when half the audience needs to be handled with kid gloves.

my most old person take is that most online social commentary coming from zoomers is bad.

almost all of their takes rest on the assumption that all of history started within the past 30 years.

growing up on link suppressed socials certainly adds to it as well.
