ah sweet, man-made horrors beyond my comprehension

„bethany bongiorno“ is the most made-up sounding name I‘ve ever heard

jokes on you i almost always use wireless 🕶️

saying people who don‘t have social media are arrogant (or worse, suspicious) is the most red flag you can get. there was literally a greentext about this recently and I remember thinking there‘s no way someone could be that ignorant and yet here we are

I agree that she‘s displaying a lot of self-awareness here and I‘d like to point out that this doesn‘t make her comparison any less warranted

I‘m German, currently living in Switzerland and when I recently visited Germany I was appalled by the amount of unconditional support for Israel, for example a HUGE (maybe 10x10m?) israeli flag on the offices of the Grünen party and official posters calling for solidarity. I don‘t even think this is stemming from (however undifferentiated and misguided) historical considerations, rather than geopolitical considerations. Also on the subject of the article, I think that‘s a pretty apt and carefully done comparison.

you can‘t have peanuts in school?

awesome thanks, turns out I saw and loved a lot of their stuff (like titane, memories of murder, triangle of sadness) but never realized they were from the same studio

what are some other studios to keep an eye on?

do you have a source for this? because obviously it‘s utter bullshit, just looking at the recent tax cuts for german gas stations which were decidedly NOT „passed onto the consumer“

they sent out an email in february saying that they stopped paying a share of your monthly payments directly to your most listened artists and instead will put more funding towards organizing concerts for „up and coming“ artists that they chose… which sounds just like advertising for tidal to me

I largely agree, except that a few months back tidal changed the way they compensate artists so now it‘s exactly the same crap as the others. bandcamp is the way if you want to support artists.

well worth the read, I didn‘t know about the IPO background until now

Being a star wars fan and avid reader I felt like I should give them a try, did some research and the consensus seemed to be that the thawn trilogy was the best, read book one and hated it for how one-dimensional the characters were, nothing at all noteworthy from a literary perspective
