God, last night’s Hayley Williams performance on Jimmy Fallon (I know, I know) might be one of the most important this year

A still from i think you should leave that reads “I don’t even want to be around anymore”

It’s not until your headphones die that you realize how much of the general community falls into the “groans loudly at the gym” group

I do think she has a pattern of adopting boyfriends’ habits, so while she was with Joe, she was listening to more interesting artists and had the power to work with them.

I also think it’s entirely possible she got into reading during the pandemic and gave that up when the world reopened

To be clear, I own six of her vinyls and have traveled to see her Eras concert (which I also saw in the theater). I think she has historically been a good lyricist, but now, it’s like “the English teacher who is mostly there to relive her high school glory”

Yeah, and i do give her credit because she was 18 when that song came out. But her writing has gotten worse over recent years, so I’m a little harsher on her now

It’s a website where you take two clicks before realizing “this was built for engineers and only engineers”

Taylor Swift would be better as a history teacher because, according to literally everyone's experiences, you actually don't need to know history to be allowed to teach it

Let the Swifties come at me but I really don’t think you can call yourself an “English teacher” when the lyric is “I was a scarlet letter” when it easily could have been (correctly) “I wore a scarlet letter”

I keep seeing comments on it, and I'm scared, but my basic thought is "stick with whatever platform Chris is using for appreciation posts"

It's so crazy because I literally, not even once, have forced my family to listen to the same artist or album on repeat. I would never do that. Not even a little bit.

If I am being honest, I didn't intend to become a Linkin Park hater, but literally every person in my immediate family is obsessed with them, and listening to the same songs over and over put me one step closer to the edge, and I am truly about to break.

Are people actually moving to mastodon? Because I’ve been there exactly twice and both times, I was like, maybe we should just let social media die

It’s so extremely Southern that Dolly basically got put on a prayer list and days later had to do an “I’m not dead yet!” to let the international news know that she was not on death’s door

This is hilarious. Now I want to watch this show

A rightwing late-night show may have bombed – but the funding behind it is no laughing matter

Conservative donors spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a rightwing Stephen Colbert-style talkshow

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Transatlanticism by Death Cab turned 22 yesterday
Remain in Light by Talking Heads turned 45 today

So time-wise, we’re about as far removed from “the new year” as “the new year” was removed from “once in a lifetime”
