zombies are chasing us down every hallway, i’ve been mauled by dogs like six times, i found a note that was like “they put a new creature in here. It’s kind of a gorilla” and i haven’t seen THAT yet, i had to kill a bee with a gun, and these guys are like “hmm something‘s weird about this place…”

my favorite part of this game so far is that every time jill and barry run into each other in the extremely evil zombie mansion they’re like “have you… found anything”
“no… but i’m beginning to suspect this mansion is Very Unusual”
“sure thing jill. let’s split up and… search for more clues”

gf is playing the original Resident Evil for the first time (on Steam Deck), and every 60 seconds I just hear her say “oh DARN” or “eughhhh”

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

(i think ttpd is phenomenal and that album was also a blatant money grab so i feel like the lesson here is less “no good art comes from greed” and more “no good art comes from having nothing to say”)

which is like, if that’s what you want to do then whatever, but if you are demanding to be respected as a Serious Songwriter and not just another vapid pop girlie, you’re undercutting yourself by leaning on memes that have already passed their expiration date

i appreciate how much attention this review gives to my main gripe with the album: its overreliance on stock internet phrases. stuff like “girlbossed too close to the sun” and the eldest daughter meme are such lazy references, made for people to point and go “ooh i know that tiktok!”

The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it…

We reviewed the latest from Taylor Swift: www.getalternative.com/album-review...

Album Review: Taylor Swift – 'The Life of a Showgirl' - The Alternative

Taylor Swift has never been less of an underdog, but all throughout 'The Life of a Showgirl' she can't help but cosplay one.

relistened to brat twice yesterday and yeah it really did deserve All Of That. the way she careens back and forth between “i’m an unstoppable badass and everyone wants to be me” and “i’m such a miserable worm i hate myself and everyone hates me” is soooo real
