Yeah, aughts culture has really only become a defined thing in the past 5 years or so (see: Y2K fashion, pop punk coming back, foldable cell phones). Only a matter of time before the early 2010s dubstep/EDM aesthetic comes back around

I’m really not the type to get worked up over things like lore changes with IP characters but I won’t lie, I still kinda hate Brian Azzarello for making Wonder Woman Zeus’ kid instead of a miracle child of clay and everything he does annoys me. Cliff Chiang’s art on that run ripped though

Yeah some of it is just embarrassing but honestly seeing new Deniz Camp/Stipan Morian and Grace Ellis/Hannah Templer collabs announced was enough to intrigue me

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

My new most delusional belief as someone who’s not at all a Taylor Swift fan: I could’ve made the new album good. It needed to embrace the showgirl elements - horn lines, string interludes, more variety, less typical pop production, going BIG. And put someone in there who can veto bad lyrics

Gotta question the efficacy of the disguise at that point. “Who could this mysterious Bat Man be under the mask? He could be any 6’9” man who’s over 400lbs of pure muscle”

I have a friend who works at a high school and apparently they don’t do homework anymore. All in-class blue book assignments (you could probably also do in-class on laptops with ChatGPT blocked + close supervision). I imagine it’s severely limiting but what else can you do?

In retrospect, it’s kinda obvious meme culture went fascist. Fascism is, itself, *made* out of pernicious memes. “Jews secretly control the world” is a meme. “Whites are genetically more intelligent” is a meme. “Blood and soil” is a meme. “Empires are collapsed by cultural degeneracy” is a meme…

The original posts were removed - this is what she said and it’s tame by her standards (which is why it’s like…what was DC expecting?) but prob not wise to post on your main professional account where you’re promoting work-for-hire stuff you did for a huge company without expecting any consequences

Jenna @jennaonthenet.bsky.social · Sep 11

Yeah, mixed feelings about it. On one hand surely DC knew what they were getting into when they hired her, but on the other I think it’s reasonable to expect someone to be professional (or at least not inflammatory) on the main public account they use to promote work they’re doing for a big company

I fear “Benny Safdie movie about alien lizard musicians” is intriguing to me

That said, crazy that The Rock will go to these lengths to say his weight loss was for a role rather than admitting that a doctor told him “you need to stop juicing or your heart will explode”

Lord of the Rings was a fine movie but its gender politics were a bit iffy. wouldve been way better if at the end Gandalf turned to the camera & said "i am transgender now" & then specified hes the exact kind of dyke i am
