i'm sure you can find it if you look

historically, for a lot of people, the allure of the music industry was the idea that by succeeding there you could be widely beloved for being a tyrannical, self-absorbed small business owner. not a lot of other ways to do that. maybe it's good if that door closes

Once we understand Nuremberg was limited precisely to limit culpability to a handful of Nazis so others could avoid scrutiny and to coerce cooperation in future atrocities from thousands more, we'll stop using it as a model of "justice."

it's so ironic men keep using acacia for their tradwife fantasies when in reality she was 18 in this picture. she was groomed as a teenager, married her groomer the moment she was "legal," had to pop out multiple kids with him and then divorced him bc he was an abusive addict.

the real physical environments music culture used to arise out of were cool neighborhoods that weren't too expensive to rent in, places to go see shows that weren't overpriced and haunted by surveillance. that's what the zoomers are missing out on, not mediocre curators

The US defunded the primary UN organization feeding the people of Gaza in Jan 2024 and no one batted an eye. They did it to help Israel use aid as a weapon of war. Now as the predicted famine arrives in full everyone is throwing their alibis together and it makes me fucking sick

Gaza is at a stage of irreversible famine, when bodies start consuming their organs. Even if they were fed today, many are past the point of absorbing nutrients. Israel has already been suppressing the true death toll, but we're at an inflection point. This means MASS GRAVES.

i moved from the official marilyn manson BBS to the official pitchfork message board. the world is still grappling with the consequences to this day

in the past, i have harbored forms of optimism that were more harmful to me and those around me than pessimism. sometimes you gotta let yourself get blackpilled on one thing in order to allow yourself the opportunity to get whitepilled on some other, better possibility

during the last 15 years or so, many artists have accidentally discovered that outrage-fueled tabloid-style media is one of the only pieces of cultural infrastructure in america that is still functional. in this case, she already knew that going in

not really a surprising or unprecedented development. even beyond photoshop, the fashion industry being a trafficking hub and eating disorder factory shows the human beings that used to be necessary to create advertising were always seen as inconvenient and subhuman by the bosses

the history of american popular music is deeply intertwined with the idea of "psychic or spiritual healing or the power of the human mind to heal the body," from tent revivals to the hippie drug culture that birthed festivals to celebrity worship and mood-based playlists

the median age in the US is 39. gen z is smaller than the millennials - i.e. there are less of them - and the boomers are all retiring and dying off. the millennial nostalgia economy is all there is. the zoomers don't have any other cards to play and never will

Israel killed Olina Nizar Bakron. She was bright and gifted, dreaming of becoming a doctor. Israel assassinated Olina and her dream, leaving her family in deep sorrow. Olina was only (9).
