@elladorn_ Where’s the ‘intellect’ here? Platforming a hasbeen washed up philosopher that is deeply islamophobic now?

Interesting that none of the mainstream Anglosphere women's mags have similar pretensions to intellect. Almost everything rn feels insultingly devoid of journalistic inquiry and literary style, like if there's an interview you can always sense the hand of PR in it

@akermanfanclub @pradachurch @dykeprincesa No she didn’t. Stop praising each and every other white person for no reason.

@pradachurch @dykeprincesa she kinda served harder than the model ns

@akermanfanclub @pradachurch @dykeprincesa No she didn’t lol. You don’t need to praise evert white person.

@aaakkmm Isn’t there also a general strike going on at the Venice biennale? Is this crossing the picket line? instagram.com/p/DYFZT_fjmWg

@transromano @donaldp1917 No they aren’t lol. They are fundamentally different bands.
English
@donaldp1917 sonic youth is a substantially better band than smashing pumpkins even if i think some of kim’s solo stuff is half-baked
English
Sounds like we need bands who don’t need to worry about money then!

Corgan, lately, has been making this point about 90s rock and how the lady in sonic youth was an awful trust fund kid and it’s why SY refused to write choruses and thus sucked: they didn’t need money
English
1. I think they’re massively lowballing it here
2. I don’t think even A24 understands exactly the vein they’re about to tap into.

@fauxbeatpoet @bartlebytaco It’s fascinating to me how this account attracts the snobbiest of snobs. You guys desperately need to be shoved in lockers tbh.
English
@bartlebytaco This percolating idea that Billy Corgan, a musician who I believe made one genuine masterpiece, is someone whose opinions are worth anything makes me want to set buildings on fire.
English
not just a moronic observation but if this was true then why did billy corgan only try to write a decent chorus once or twice in his career

@outer_guitar @Trummors It’s about class but I’m guessing that went way over your head.
English
Kim Gordon's dad, an associate professor at UCLA, "owned a university," according to Corgan's conversation with Courtney Love. Great example of how being a teacher confers elite status, regardless of income

I love Billy Corgan's brain. Sex with a shapeshifter? Yep! The CIA killed grunge? Absolutely! Sonic Youth were trust fund kids that wrote boring music? Of course! No one else is operating on his level.

@FOOL_FABRYR You guys should seriously get over this surface level nonsense. Is this a genz thing? Based on the record I would’ve guessed he had a ton of auto tbh. Purely based on energy and bravado. Kim Deal’s dope though don’t get me wrong.

@JJunkWarrior It looks almost identical to the switch pro controller which is the best controller I’ve ever had.

Sorry, this rules. Sitting here contemplating Christ’s descent into hell, the breaking of the chains of sin and death, and our present life in this vale of tears.

How much does our ruling class hate us? This won “World Building of the Year 2025” at the World Architecture Festival. So, quite a lot, I'd say.

There's a movie out today called SILENT FRIEND that's 2.5 hours long and is primarily about Tony Leung befriending a tree. It's extraordinary. vulture.com/article/in-mes…

Just back from a week exploring some beautiful cities across the Netherlands and Germany.
The highlight was Utrecht, a utopian urban planner’s dream! Especially liked their two-layered canals.

@FrenchWyoming @peligrietzer That’s the fucking point he’s making by saying ‘I don’t care’ negates the Streep character’s power move technically. the It’s all about perspectives. You all give it power by giving so much weight to what Streep’s claiming.
English
@peligrietzer I am so confused how you don’t understand. It’s a power move. Meryl is accusing her of performative lack of interest. Her “I’ll wear whatever” attitude is an approach to choice— a denouncement of it, essentially. Meryl is saying she never had any real choice. She wears scraps.

The replies to this are the first thing in 3 years to make me think maybe analytic philosophy is important actually

This speech always confuses me, why should she be impressed they chose the color of her sweater if she doesn't care about her sweater? 'What you don't know is the font on your rent contract is not Garamond, not Garamond Premier, but Adobe Garamond'

@peligrietzer It’s fascinating how people don’t seem to grasp what you’re trying to argue.

Can’t believe I’m saying this about Sydney Sweeney but If there’s one thing she did right it was to avoid getting any work done and letting her forehead stay expressive. A necessity for acting that is starting to get lost
