Ed O’Neill Didn’t Realize He Took A Picture With Britney Spears Until A Day Later

[mammamia-kalokairidrift]

I have this theory that Britney is one of those celebrities who can like… turn it on, nd can choose to have that aura about her, and when she doesn’t want to be ~Britney Spears~ she can just turn it off again

[foxhack]

I saw this comment and had to reblog it. She really does. After the therapy she went through a few years back (because of all the messed up things she had happen to her growing up), she’s a regular mom who also happens to be a musical superstar.

Look at her in the photo. She doesn’t even look like glamorous. She looks like… a thirty-ish year old mom who sits down and watches Ed O’Neill on TV every week after helping her kids do homework. Perfectly average.

And that’s a good thing. I’m glad she’s happy now.

[libertybill]

Britney is the best.

I always love this story lol

[pasdecoeur]

b99 is more culpable, actually

[pasdecoeur]

all cop shows are propoganda, but most cop shows are made for 18-49 white men who’re scared of face masks

[pasdecoeur]

b99′s target demographic, however, is young, queer and racially diverse. b99′s target demo is all the people who’re the most vulnerable to police brutality. b99′s target demo is all the folks who absolutely should never be lead to believe the way to view the cops is the way you view jake fuckin peralta.

it’s kind of established that there is no “get out of a beatdown” role you can take other than being a cop yourself, right? media, medics, lawyers, all fair game.

[quasi-normalcy]

Turns out that cops are just dudes who really like beating the shit out of defenceless people. There’s really no other qualification.

For those who hate lawyers I do want to point out that legal observers are sent by the National Lawyer’s Guild, which is the primary organization providing pro-bono legal defense to protesters and black community leaders who have been jailed to try to derail the movement.  So, these are not the lawyers you hate.

[lesbiansandpuns]

Just to reiterate: the entire point of NLG legal observers is to deter unlawful or improper behavior on the part of the police / law enforcement personnel–and to document such behavior, if they aren’t successful in deterring it. In the U.S., they have to be trained and certified. Their job is to help you protest to the full extent of your constitutional rights and with minimal interaction with the criminal justice system. I cannot stress the extent to which they are on your side.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

The National Lawyer’s Guild’s motto is “human rights over property interests” and was created as a direct fuck you to conservative and exclusionary bar associations. Their dues are way cheaper than other bar associations and you can join even as a jailhouse lawyer (a prisoner who teaches themselves the law to advocate for others). 

And just because this is literally my job: your negative perception of lawyers is literally propaganda. The portrayal of defense attorneys as evil for defending criminals, the idea that suing people is something only rich or very greedy people do, the complete erasure of legal aid as a thing that exists, are all designed to make you afraid to advocate for your legal rights.

[elodieunderglass]

^ ^ ^

Who was it that taught us that the defense attorney - a person whose job is to ensure justice is done - is immoral and untrustworthy? Who taught us to hate lawyers - the people who know the law? Why do we believe that justice begins and ends with unregulated enforcers who are not required to know the law?

[glumshoe]

How do famous people date? Like, how does a celebrity go out and meet people and make normal connections with someone who isn’t also a celebrity? It would probably be really uncomfortable to date a “fan”, but at a certain point of fame there just isn’t much of a demographic that doesn’t already know who you are and possibly have some kind of opinion about you, even if they aren’t part of your fandom. How do you form genuine connections between equals?

[itlooksliketheydisapparated]

There are people who can like someone’s work and still treat them like a person. If the literal prince of England can form a genuine connection with a girl he met at college then a celebrity, even the highest of a-list, surely can meet someone.

[glumshoe]

Oh, of course–I imagine it’s a bit different for royalty, since their faces usually aren’t as recognizable (or as attractive) as those of people who are on international TV or in movies a lot. 

But household names can’t just go out and mingle freely like normal people can. Past a certain degree of fame, it could be dangerous to do so–you probably have multiple stalkers, and even mundane interactions with passerby are full of non-malicious harassment. You might have a bodyguard, or you might be restricted to visiting only exclusive venues where your celebrity status won’t be remarkable. Even if you do meet “regular” people you hit it off with, how many of them are sycophants determined to ‘get in’ with you and not really interested in the element of genuine human connection? 

I was thinking about the kids from Stranger Things and how, even if they were to leave showbiz completely, right now, they’re going to be instantly recognizable around the world for the next ten years or more. Just like the Harry Potter cast, they started young and will never really know “normalcy”, and every friendship or romance they have will be in the context of being international celebrities that strangers approach on the street for selfies. 

This is probably why a lot of celebrities date within the industry–even if they’re not dating other celebrities, they might be dating stylists or photographers or managers who are exposed to enough famous people on a regular basis that they’re no longer starstruck.

[estraven-ai-2022]

I think to say that royalty is less recognizable than celebrities is a gross understatement. I live in the UK and they are 100% the most recognizable (and probably the most talked about) group of people. The celebrities you know may depend on the music you listen to or the movies you watch, but everyone will know the queen and her family. To be fair, I probably wouldn’t recognise the Prince of Norway if he appeared in front of me, and so maybe internationally he would be unrecognisable, but I imagine (can’t confirm tho) that within Norway he would be instantly recognizable as royal. And the UK royal family is easily the most well known of all the royal families, not just in Britain.

On the other hand, I wonder how many celebrities dating stylists or managers etc has to do with them being already used to celebrities, and how much of it is just how adults interact with people in the workforce. I know that after college, it becomes alot harder to meet new people and make new friends, and so before dating apps, the likelihood of you ending up with something in a similar industry was pretty high, since those are the kind of people you will be interacting with and meeting most often.

[glumshoe]

The royal family is less recognizable than famous actors because if they leave the country they look like any average-looking white people you’d see on the street. The queen of England could come to Indiana and get a haircut at Great Clips and eat Taco Bell the only reason people might look twice at her is because she has an accent. She might get recognized occasionally, but a famous British actor of any caliber would be stared at absolutely everywhere they went. I think that’s true of most states in the US, and probably most countries in the world. If Daniel Radcliffe visited rural Morocco he would have people swamping home for autographs and selfies, but I highly doubt any British royal would be recognized by the average person. They would probably recognize their own royalty, but not British.

The crown prince of Norway visited Australia and didn’t tell the girl he started dating there that he was royalty until several dates in, apparently. So yeah, I think it’s pretty safe to say that famous celebrities are more recognizable than royalty by several orders of magnitude.

[kesslersymbolic]

Is this just your way of saying you’re about as famous as royalty?
