Nevermind the financiers, or the politicians, the real conspiracy is that the world is ran by the Irish and Gujaratis

I thought that I’d never seen a Paul Thomas Anderson film before (I’m going to see OBAA later).

A friend incredulously started listing out his filmography, turns out I’ve seen like most of his films but never realised.

I listened to Nebraska end to end while packing shirts this morning and feel affirmed in my opinion that it is Springsteens best work by far.

Usually I don’t really care that much because everybody has gotta eat, but it pisses me off when I know that you’re using my work to eat off my plate.

It’s no doubt that the SM7b is an incredible piece of kit, I’m more so pointing out that it’s somewhat misplaced in some of these on screen set ups

Spotted another Instagram influencer cribbing lines verbatim from Beneath The Skin, should I start sending them invoices?

Even a lav mic would be better than an SM7b positioned 3 foot away from the speaker

It’s interesting that the SM7b is the go to mic for any video podcast because it’s become a visual signifier of ‘professionalism’, when in reality most of them would be better served using a boom mic set up on a C-stand

@hkesvani.bsky.social how do you connect with others about their response to the text?

are swifties okay

patreegs on instagram says

You need to listen to it once completely through while driving a car alone. Then you have to
listen to it indoors lying down. THEN you pick a few and listen to them WHILE you read the lyrics on your computer. You WILL find that you misheard some of the lyrics. DONT panic. Its COMPLETELY normal and healthy. DONT think about taylors life yet and DONT try to make sense of the lyrics and DONT panic if you dont like some of the songs at first bc your brain will LEARN to like them (evolutionary mechanism).
THEN, continue listening on loop as needed but have 2-3 that you sometimes just listen to on repeat. THEN re-emerge into the world and connect with others about their response to the text. THEN apply practically to your life. THEN examine how they fit into taylors. At this point you can start to lightly engage in online discourse if that feels healthy and safe.

When Sivanandan said “What Enoch Powell says today, the Conservative Party says tomorrow, and the Labour Party legislates on the day after.” I don't think he meant literally two days from the fascists saying something mad to becoming Labour policy, but that's Starmerism. www.bbc.com/news/article...
