Old money is dragging your grandma’s old Birkin though life every day for years at a time so it looks like a football while wearing The Row tshirts and Birkenstocks.

Hate to be the one defending them, but… that’s literally what artists do: reference visual cues in new contexts. Demanding art be absolutely original is demanding art dies.
@JacksonRickun
That’s weirdly heteronormative to say. How does it recontextualize it?
Also… most of his work for the past 20 years is clearly queer-coded. Like… not even trying to hide anything queer-coded. No one who’s engaged with the work is surprised at all that he’s queer.

I think you see them as tacky because this is what tacky tries to mimic.
Like, Venice is a beautiful city, The Venetian in Las Vegas is tacky AF.
Same here… the actual royals wearing tiaras is different from some David’s Bridal tiara.

Lol a straight woman who basically made glitter her trademark and has been performing 3 hour shows in sparkly heels for months on end… BUT THE BOOTS BETRAY THE REAL HER!

Well, yes. It is shocking to see a trans woman being this aggressively transphobic, in case my comment came across as meaning something else.
@kirkpate
The original dress is kinda fabulous in a “I’m too fabulous to care about what your Grandma thinks of my dress, honey” kind of way.
Kourtney is not that person at all.
Can we stop talking about Mexico City like it were the newest ride in Disneyland?
I promise, it’s been there for 300 years and it’s been extremely cosmopolitan for most of those.
@tomandlorenzo
Did you guys see the Selena Gomez doc?
There's a scene where she goes to her old school; she is immediately treated like a circus animal, 100 phones in the air and not a single person actually looking at her.
It's shot from her POV and it really painted a picture

That’s a different discussion. White and pretty boys are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, this one is making great choices instead of (probably better paying) Marvel movies.
There is zero need to compare him with others, white, pretty or otherwise.
@anxiousdeluxe
It’s a delightful train wreck. Delightfully tragic. Tragically delightful. All those piles of talent and money set on fire episode in, episode out. OBSESSED.

At the very least since WW2 where Hollywood was basically a propaganda machine. Superman, for instance, with his belief in “truth, Justice and the American way”: propaganda.
@ihatejoelkim
You know it’s very unfay because Luke kept his shirt on the whole time.
Also Dean. And Jess. And then Dean again, and not even that one time Jess showed up. My closeted little gay heart kept waiting and was denied.
We get Richard in a towel in like episode 3, though.
@mvddm
I honestly don’t think she sees herself anymore as an artist as much as a very gifted singer, and that’s fine, it’s working well for her (and certainly for the production). She’s no Barbra, we are aware, she is aware.
Most confuse those things and it ends in disaster for
@emilynussbaum
Yes, but at least now it doesn’t come from figures of power (looking at you Diane Sawyer!)! No one would ask a 17yo today if she’s a virgin on national TV without being rightfully crucified. Also, the conversation around mental health is way better now.
@SohrabAhmari
Sure, let’s skip over the part of how he inherited the at the time mere months-old financial crisis and managed to keep the country calm while it put itself back together. Maybe boring is the point, if you want spectacle go to the movies.
@estarLA
Not sure who you're talking about but that is a very complicated and personal thing, and I say this as a lily-white Latino with a German surname, a Guatemalan passport and not a drop of indigenous blood in me... Its... hard.
@sargentned
Actually, the first 4 seasons are totally not! they’re kinda gritty, and it’s brilliant, it matches Carrie’s state of being so well. Right after she breaks up with Aidan, it starts to gradually get polished, starting when she gets the Vogue job!
The “pass” letter from
@OverlookedVC
is the most thoughtful message ever, and so appreciated. The last thing the fragile mental state of founders needs is more fodder for imposter syndrome, and this delivers just the antidote.

Some of us take the observations and enjoy learning from them, so that when we go shopping we can make better choices.
None of us thinks sleeve fit will cure cancer, you can breathe easy.
@chaoswintour
This just made me realize why I enjoy Julia Fox's shenanigans so much: she always seemed, from the start, like a willing, joyful, tongue-in-cheek participant in the spectacle. This poor woman... doest not.
We need to talk about Seth Rogen’s Houseplant DTC-ing the hell out of pot!
It’s an absolute match between product and persona, as in “stoners do grow up to be… sophisticated stoners” (and he actually makes pottery!).

This is what happens when 22 year olds run socials without a proper editor. To them it's "this movie my aunt loves from the 80's"

If you're making 500k, you can afford help. That you choose other priorities is another story.
Also... these servants from early 20th century where the impoverished descendants of slaves, in case you were looking for reasons not to go I'm this direction.

The responses to that thread are also a microcosms of how this also dog-whistles two messages, one for the left and one for the base. Saying she looks tacky, stupid or ridiculous is taking the bait.
Melania used to play that game flawlessly.

👋 My husband and I🌈 bootstrapped our DTC cookie company, Wunderkeks from a farmers market stand to 5.1M$ in 3 years! (We've been in the US that long, as we are originally from Guatemala). We're preparing to raise a seed round and would LOVE to chat!
🚨🚨🚨 mental health alert 🚨🚨🚨 After turning every possible stone and talking to EVERYONE, today
@cmikulin
and his team are taking over our FB/Google/TikTok so
@LuisWunderkeks
and I can actually a) sleep and b) run a brand. 🚀🚀🚀🚀
@clintworthing
And, respectfully, I’d invite you to see this movie from the perspective of a non-American, non-white, Spanish-speaking person who came of age in the early 00’s. This and Alfonso Cuaron’s whole career are MIRACLES to us.
Just here, casually signing one of the founders of Ben and Jerry's to Wunderkeks' board of advisors.
Building a mission driven company is not for the faint of heart, fortunately for us, 🏳️🌈 = 💪
@rianphin
The problem is the utter lack of curiosity.
It’s never “I do not see the merit of x, please explain it to me”, it’s always “I do not see the merit of x, so it has to be shit, and so are you”.
Same thing is happening in movie Twitter.
@tomandlorenzo
Doing the same, she and Vanessa Kirby are so fantastic that moving to season 3 immediately was grating, as much as I love Olivia Coleman and Helenac B-C
If
@taylorswift13
tickets were sold on
@Shopify
we’d all get a free tote, follow up emails, option to order drinks via SMS, an AOV-increasing post purchase offer for a tshirt, subscription to all the Taylor’s Versions AND the damn tickets.

@OrangePaulp
Kinda maybe yes but in her historic context, her wearing Oaxacan costumes was seen as daring and, in a way, “diminishing” herself. What in 2022 would be appropriation in the early 20th century was a daring embrace.
