I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Also: Days, weeks, and months for honoring, celebrating, or raising awareness aren't meted out from on high.

If you want one, you can organize one instead of wasting time bitching about the people who took the initiative to do so.

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

Tommy Mottola also tried to end Mariah’s career by using Jennifer Lopez…Goes to show that even if H tried to use his popularity to get his way, it wouldn’t work. These business men see artists like Harry & Mariah as products to sell. If the product “malfunctions”, they will find another product to sell……& they’ll make sure the original product is too “tainted” to be sold elsewhere….Business men only respect other business men, not the products they sell.

Yes, exactly. I forgot about the stuff with Jennifer Lopez. Yes, absolutely, the minute the product is giving them trouble, they find a new product. But it's that same "if I can't have you, no one will" mentality. They'd rather destroy the product than let it go. Look at how Michael Jackson's legacy was destroyed. George Michael's career was never the same. Prince's career was never the same. They were HUGE stars. The labels don't care. They don't even need people with actual talent to replace them. Look at how successful AI artists are right now. It's all just fucking depressing.

what is the vibe of this setlist it goes up and down like a rollercoaster lmao

the big stage is so he can reach more fans instead of rear pitch being so far away and him having no contact with them. a stage that big allows him to be seen up close by fans from most parts of the floor and better viewing for those in lower seats who might not be super close to the front of the stage. i don’t think it’s as bad as people keep saying. i get the vision of it

oh i understand the vision. i just don’t like the design, how tall it is, and how obstructed those weird bridges make it seem. i think a big square with maybe two pods cut in half in the middle by a middle catwalk would’ve sufficed and he could’ve had similar engagement. or even something like these two just stretched out way further but with the same design in mind and the same pods etc. but i do think the multiple pods is just a $$$ thing and not really worth much else. they could easily have no pods or one/two pods instead of 4. so lmao that’s what fucks them with that stage design.

And what if rap WAS only about sex, violence, and drugs... what then? Would you be justified in looking down upon it as not being "real" art? What would your justification be? Sex is immoral and taboo? Drugs should never be mentioned outside of D.A.R.E programs? Songs about violence turn children to it? Would you turn that standard to other genres as well? I know you wouldn't, I know you haven't, because it's never really been about the topics explored.
