niche but dead serious opinion: fandom culture must be destroyed for art to live.

yep! her old tweets are all deleted but you can tell from replies to the account that the @Olivianuzzi account used to be @Livvypop: xcancel.com/nikonamerica...

ok apparently it is real and uh yeah i think we broke something in the simulation www.popjustice.com/briefing/tha...

i really want to know if this is real but i also really don't want to type "jailbait livvy" into google

I learned about Olivia Nuzzi's trying to debut her teenpop singing career with a song called "Jailbait" and that she sent butthole pics to RFK Jr in the same 5 minute stretch, someone please neuralyze me!

This is Avi Arad btw, one of the producers for the Zelda movie

Bluesky hasn't noticed the contrast yet! Yesterday White House journalists sat meekly while Trump humiliated one of them ("Quiet Piggy"). A week ago the Miss Universe beauty queens, tougher and savvier, responded to a similar humiliation by walking out in solidarity - and got the official fired. 1/

not a soul in this scandal has good prose

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

I guess "modern American masculinity is a neotenous emotional state where the culture permits, and even cultivates, juvenile developmental qualities into adulthood" is just a fancy way of saying "everyone is twelve now"

there was an amazing article about exactly this somewhere in the old days where everyone was paid well and was unionized, this chart was reversed, living expenses were cheap but luxuries like TVs and whatnot were what you had to save up for. You could live a comfortable life if you were frugal

“Don’t forget the real business of the War is buying and selling. The murdering and the violence are self-policing, and can be entrusted to non-professionals…. The true war is a celebration of markets.” www.thenation.com/article/soci...

No one knows how many people die in Mississippi's jails, in part, because many of the state’s hundreds of local law enforcement agencies find reporting requirements burdensome, state officials say

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.

It really needs to be pointed out how every one of these embarrassing statements is made by a c-suite executive and not an artist or even art department lead

specifically 20 very famous, wealthy, well-connected white women on twitter because tarana burke has effectively been memory holed despite putting in over a decade of work with teenaged girls in black communities before alyssa milano ever thought about tweeting

It's this but also beyond it. White supremacists believe POC are here to serve them. And that we will, no matter what they do to us. That's one motivation behind keeping POC economically disadvantaged too. Desperate people don't have choices & until a point, are less likely to fight back.

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

The sexual exploitation of children is so normalized that like every famous musician has at least one song about doing it in their discography. And if they were a teen music star, then they likely have a song about wanting to hook up with an adult written for them by an adult.

It's funny that for years people have been saying "there can't be conspiracies because no one can keep a secret" and then it's revealed all their favorite journalists were best friends with a child trafficker. And helped him keep his secrets.

Relatedly, there should not be special prisons where the wealthy get to go if they happen to have the right connections.

My most woke opinion is that "woke" at root is a beautiful concept: active socio-political consciousness in the context of the Black American liberation struggle. And the way it's been turned into a sneering pejorative is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen in Western political discourse.

Bluesky adopting a "we will ban anyone who is mean to pedophiles" moderation posture is confusing until you remember it was started by a bunch of tech libertarians as a haven for Ai cultists and crypto guys.

Honestly, that time Marvel tried to replace the X-Men with the Inhumans and fell flat on their faces was hilarious in retrospect.

TV conspiracies: we’ve hacked their computers but they’ve perfectly cleaned up the evidence! Real conspiracies: To: conspirator From: famous person Attachment: evidence.png

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

it is a victory of Hitlerite thought that people are attempting to use Hitler’s own logic to explain the man himself, looking at his genes rather than from the socio-political factors that allowed him to rise

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

These emails really do highlight why rich folk are so impressed by ChatGPT.

People don’t angry mob like they used too.

yeah it's honestly so wild! to me that the new york times circa 2019 is writing articles about how the internet is making kids trans meanwhile their writers are emailing The World's Most Well Known Child Sex Trafficker like "heyyy buddy,,,, how's it goin friend!"

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

The IDF is 80% sniper or killing tourism, but like this story here...we won't talk about it until 30 years from now

I will stand by, this remains the funniest mistranslation in manga localization history

Healthcare, social assistance, asylum – being a journalist in Britain is, for the most part, shaping the offical narrative to why people should live in worse conditions and be even more miserable. And if you're really lucky you might get a Press Award at the end of it

It's sort of interesting to me that for a lot of British journalists, "success" largely means reducing people's access to essential services

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

If Alan Moore hijacked the worlds nuclear missile supply and ended all life on earth it would be justified

you avoid "last christmas" in a misguided attempt to win some silly game; i have already played it ten times and it is november 10th. we are built different

IOC funding a study a year ago that showed trans women do not have an advantage over cis women in sports and may in fact have a disadvantage due to T suppression and now moving to ban trans women & intersex women while keeping israel around and starting the genital inspections anyway

oh my god

Politicians should be cripplingly impacted by 1-star reviews.

No, they need to view politicians the way they view coaches of sport teams — nobody has any issues calling for their heads when necessary!

people need to start viewing politicians the way they currently view retail and food service workers

If you're defending Senate Democrats go ahead and unfollow me now because human beings aren't political pawns and making them go without food for over a month FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON is cowardice. Now people won't have food OR HEALTHCARE.

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
