This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

There's part of me that kind of feels for Paul Stanley. From the stories I've heard, he doesn't work hard to keep his sexual orientation a secret, but has never officially come out, presumably due to fear of what that would do to his income. Seems like that would eat at your soul after a while.

"Trump has said that he was “98% involved” in the selection of this year’s slate of honorees: Sylvester Stallone, George Strait, Gloria Gaynor, KISS and Michael Crawford."
Trump decided to make himself the host of tonight's Kennedy Center Honors so if you do decide to tune in prepare yourself for a night of him rehashing the 2020 election, attacking Democratic leaders and lying about all of his great accomplishments since January 2025.

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.
