this guy gets it

but the literal take is perfectly valid too

like how house is both a feeling, as well as a genre defined by certain properties this is about the feeling

the question isn't "is this the best song ever?" it's "do you ever feel like this might be the best song ever?"

obviously this is a valid if drearily literal take of course on one level - the most straightforward level - well-constructed cheese is exactly what it is even on those simply pragmatic terms it's a true gem in the long and venerable tradition of Italo-[disco, house, dance, etc] cheese but...

as British teenagers would have said 15 years ago, well good

and as we've discussed elsewhere I know, the great Denis Lavant fucking gettin it over the end credits of Beau Travail

and that's the kind of song it is, it's about joy and finding ways to live your best life and be happy no matter the circumstances it is a song that brings people joy and makes them feel better, whether in a light or a serious way and that is a true accomplishment for artistic work and it's...

so last year my friend's partner abruptly passed away - she was young, like early 30s - and he was, understandably, absolutely devastated and we kinda lost touch since he moved to another city, but we follow each other on IG and I saw him posting all these stories and I was like holy shit esp...

cos sometimes, every now + then, I kinda do and then I'm like that cannot be possibly true. it's a fucking banger without question but the best ever? that take is so hot it immolates everything in its path and then I'm like...but maybe...it is? I love it anyway

tldr if u don't want go thru entire post above the difference between me and gus in re fascism is this: I'd try to correctly gender a fascist while fighting against everything else they stood for gus would happily take fascist VC $$$ with zero qualms. he'd stoop down to pick it up if Peter...

let's all take a second and appreciate how funny and cool @suspended's original joke was "omg yall what if Hitler was a woman, he'd be all Ms. Hitler I oppose your concentration camps but I'm sorry for misgendering you haha omg that would be so goddamn funny" just really top-notch, classy...

no, it actually comes from many years of having trans, nb, gender-fluid etc folks as coworkers, friends, and romantic/sexual partners. most of whom do not have, like your various coworkers etc, tech $ or some equivalent to insulate them from the harshest realities of marginalization. I do...

You're wrong. I wouldn't misgender them but I also wouldn't make a production out of apologizing. The most important fact about a fascist is that they're a fascist. And obv this is a very stupid reductio ad absurdum. From someone who is, btw, like beiser, super goddamn weird about trans ppl. U...

This is like asking if you'd rather spend 24 consecutive hours listening to post-grunge or Britpop. The correct answer is just "no".

Mark E. Smith had a great sense of humor but idk if u want to call The Fall indie (indie-adjacent perhaps) and he was sui generis

Oh boy tough question US indie is traditionally too self-serious to have a sense of humor, or if it does is usually the sardonic self-referencing/depreciating hipster humor of a Pavement ("who the fuck is Stephen Malkmus") or etc. But the "humor" of UK indie is usually the deeply unfunny twee...

I never said u were all bad, buddy I think most of yr ideas about society are the worst, but u have yunno a good heart That crypto bro travelogue u wrote did make me want throw up in my mouth a bit but my impression is you're not nearly as bad as the people u portray and maintain at least...

Latter dissensus is already infested enough with Elon Musk fanbois Only the right-wing conspiracist fanclub is worse

Lol I don't He was like u but w/o any of the redeeming qualities Just a pure advocate for tech bro management worldview And super fucking weird about anything at all to do with trans people
