This is unbearably funny

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear: 1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people 2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

“majority rules!” was a 2009 canadian sitcom about a teen mayor not to be confused with “overruled!”, a 2009 canadian sitcom about teen lawyers

love this line of thinking! i totally think of musical interpolation as an act of transmutation: taking elements of the old and rearranging/transforming/infusing them into something new.

“In a story of theft and security lapses, “Fedora Man” is a gentler counterpoint — a teenager who believes art, style and a good mystery belong to ordinary life. One photo turned him into a symbol. Meeting him confirms he is, reassuringly, real.”

Katy Perry covering Hackensack by Fountains of Wayne is my roman empire. Co-written by Adam Schlesinger, a legend who sadly passed in 2020 (wrote songs for Josie and the Pussycats, Music & Lyrics, and That Thing You Do!), this MTV unplugged performance DOES something to me. youtu.be/aTOtU4_u9jE?...

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation. To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

critics say the NYT is bad faith poopoo

“that’s the point” ❗️ an exclamation point/mark “a mark” is an anagram of karma karma🪞amark, if the R were to glitch the glitch is the crack in the looking glass, it rearranges the characters on the other side (in the upside down, the underworld) mine if u left is mie🪞me! karma is a mark ℹ️🪞❗️

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Rather beautifully, Professor Mahmood Mamdani's dedication in "Neither Settler Nor Native" is to his trail-blazing son, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. He quotes the revolutionary Chinese writer Lu Xun's famous concluding lines in "Hometown": 「其實地上本沒有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。」 -魯迅，故鄉 #everynightapoem

When your enemy is deliberately trying to provoke you, it nearly never pays to give in to them. People don't pay attention to what triggered you; they pay attention to how you act. No good comes from her giving in to an obvious attempt at provocation. If it seems like a trap we're already in one.

the double meanings i tend to look for the most in taylor’s lyrics and pageantry are terms also used in music theory, finance, and chess/games/war. connecting those dots are how we break the parallax 🌠

taylor papped at zero bond again last night. potential double meaning of “zero bond” vis-a-vis owning her masters?
