@biteration tagged me to post the 4 albums that i'm currently listening to the most! this was so difficult to narrow down, it's been a great year so far for both new releases and new discoveries so there's a lot of different albums i've been listening to.

sleep token - take me back to eden

this one is probably a pretty obvious inclusion lol but i've been listening to this nonstop since it came out. it's my go-to when i'm driving, or want to listen to music in general. both the instrumentals and the vocals are phenomenal here, and the lyrics in some songs in particular hit pretty hard. the final track has made me cry multiple times, which i mean in the most complimentary way possible.

haken - fauna

i know the cover looks like a reference to a certain nft but i promise it isn't haha. this one took a couple of listens to really process, a lot of prog albums can be that way for me tbh but like most haken albums i'm super into it now, there's no skip songs and you can jam to just about every track. there is a good mix of very prog-y songs (elephants never forget is my personal favorite) and some more standard structured ones, which helps break things up too.

none - damp chill of life

i'm not very plugged into the genre of depressive black metal, and i definitely have to be in the right headspace to get the most out of this one, but i'm a bit obsessed with this album and this band. it doesn't hold back at all in expressing bleakness and hopelessness and pain, but by the time the album ends, i find it to actually be cathartic and ultimately hopeful, or at least it brings a sense of determination, if that makes sense. the atmosphere here is desolate, but absolutely gorgeous.

pull down the sun - of valleys and mountains

for all my talk about take me back to eden that i've been doing since that dropped, no album since the dear hunter's act 5 has grabbed me so quickly and intensely as this one. one of the best prog/post metal albums i've ever heard. the band is based in aotearoa and has yet to really tour outside of there, so i don't know if i'll ever hear this played live, but i feel like that would be a transcendental experience.

i want to include some honorary mentions so bad but i will resist... tagging @malcriada, @videnoirs, @hollowburrow, and @gliscor if you'd like to do this!

#tysm for tagging!! ^_^

The Overdue but Perfect Response to the Outrage of the Minority

by Don Hall

It doesn’t seem to take much to uphold Charlie Cox’s good-guy reputation, and when Digital Spy asked Cox what he made of people getting upset over the “walk of shame” that Daredevil did the morning after having a really great night with She-Hulk, he said, very kindly, “If She-Hulk’s not your thing, then don’t watch it. Watch something else.”

SOURCE

James Gunn has issued a statement addressing fan concerns over the direction of the DC Universe after the announcement of Henry Cavill’s exit as Superman and the harassment he and co-head Peter Safran have received online.

“One of the things Peter & I were aware of when we took the job as heads of DC Studios was a certain minority of people online that could be, well, uproarious & unkind, to say the least. Our choices for the DCU are based upon what we believe is best for the story & best for the DC characters who have been around for nearly 85 years. Perhaps these choices are great, perhaps not, but they are made with sincere hearts & integrity & always with the story in mind,” Gunn explained.

“No one loves to be harassed or called names — but, to be frank, we’ve been through significantly worse. Disrespectful outcry will never, ever affect our actions."

SOURCE

The term minority tends to mean in the minds of most people non-white people. That's reasonable given how the word is used but it's also a misdirect. Minority is simply that part of any group that is a smaller section of the whole than the majority. Globally, we're all the minority in comparison to the Chinese population. Men, when it comes to college admissions, are in the minority in comparison to women. Both the extreme Left and Right politically are in the minority in comparison to Exhausted Center.

Based strictly on numbers, those who hate the MCU are in the minority as are those who use Twitter and have their toilet paper pull from under the roll. Bidet users? Minority. Vegans? Minority. People who bought one of those Trump NFTs? Stupid minority. And, you know, there's no "I" in stupid.

As much as the debacle of Kevin McCarthy struggling to become Speaker of the House was a pleasure to view, he was up against the outrage of the minority within his party.

From Yahoo News:

"With a narrowly divided chamber, 222-to-212, the new speaker has shown the far-right wing of his caucus that they can get their way through obstruction — a recipe for nonstop hostage-taking by small factions going forward.

The problem for Congress, however, is that McCarthy will probably have to continue prostrating himself in order to keep his new job. Why? Because in the process of winning their votes, he awarded his captors nearly every demand on their wishlist — empowering them to continue to obstruct business whenever it suits their purposes."

The conundrum lies in the fact that we love it when our minority voices obstruct their majority but can't seem to be able to stand it when their minority is afforded the same. We talk a lot about gridlock and a dysfunctional Congress but we have to grasp that the gridlock part of the equation is the very intent of the Constitutional framers. Laws that are easy to pass cannot possibly be pragmatic or enforceable to an entire country comprised of individuals maintaining their often false belief in their own autonomy. It's supposed to be contentious.

It is not supposed to be dysfunctional. Allowing the minority to make unreasoning demands and granting them time and time again creates dysfunction and really bad governance (regardless of which ideological yard you play in). Accepting petty, shallow, outraged behavior and capitulating to it encourages more of it resulting in an era where screaming and throwing a tantrum on a plane can result in the plane being rerouted and punishing the entire flight. Pretending that civil disobedience is simply destroying the counter of a Burger King because you did not, in fact, get to have it your way emboldens the childish tendency in all of us.

The balance lies in being able to distinguish the difference between a genuine issue and a tantrum. Here's a clue: if the minority is screaming and crying, claiming obvious distortions of harm and violence where there are none, destroying things to get attention, and behaving like an angry child? Tantrum.

When you reward the tantrums, you are guaranteed to be subjected to more tantrums. If you reasonably say "Disrespectful outcry will never, ever affect our actions," you set the stage for grownup discourse. Kevin McCarthy will wish he had not conceded to the tantrums of the minority in days to come.

Wed 2 June ‘21

Louis sent a message to a fan looking for a hello after a major surgery-- “Get well soon mate. Sending you loads of love x”- and added that he hopes ALL of us are doing alright; I never doubted it Louis! Niall got a little more specific with his really lovely message today- “HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. It’s your life, LOVE who you want to LOVE,” he tweeted! THANKS GUYS.

Liam though, Liam was all over today! He checked in on his way to play golf, on his way back from playing golf (with videographer Conor!), posted comments on discord, joined a new chat platform (Telegram; 5 minutes into Telegram and chill Liam was like OKAY it looks like we may need some moderators for this app lol YOU THINK?), he did a whole 25 min live, AND checked in even later to say he’d just had a shower and was about to play a new video game! New news of the day-- he is going to host a Veeps show showcasing new artists in July!! NEAT! His post about how his team forgot to turn off notifications on the phone they set it all up on for him on is really funny, YIKES; “this used to be an iphone now it’s just a bell” he joked, with video of the phone frantically chiming nonstop (“the power of you guys still blows my mind to this day”.) Also he said that he was very busy getting ready for June 15. Why, you ask, what is on June 15? UH? IDK?? He has so many things coming up? But that’s the NFT I think, which I KNOW a lot of people are mostly not that excited about but I will say that while I don’t care about the technology, I am excited to see Liam’s artwork he’s working on for it (which hopefully the purchaser will share with us), and Liam is truly so excited about the platform, he’s really trying to talk us into it. More on that in a sec...

But let’s get to the other parts of Liam’s live first. He has that new song coming, about which he said “it’s one that I’ve written the most on so far actually, as a single, I’m excited to say my own stuff for once a little”, love that. He’s still coughing but says he’s tested repeatedly and it isn’t COVID, and that he’s gone vegetarian recently, and he says the chat channels were inspired by seeing people using the veeps chat rooms even after the show ended, not wanting to leave. And he talks about 1D- about the notifs mishap he said “back in the band we used to wait for people we didn’t like to leave their notifications on and then we would like- oh make sure you follow this person on twitter! And then their phone would break for days- if someone did something that annoyed you.” HAHAHA where’s my masterpost of people who annoyed them 1D told us to follow, PLEASE? And also “it’s hard sometimes you’re watching people stories from afar that you used to know so well and that can be difficult… we’ve all felt this at different times me and the boys… it’s almost like missing a very dear friend a lot of the time but everyone’s so busy… I’d love to get us all in a room somewhere sometime” aww. But also he said he talked to Harry recently, “really a lovely call, he has a sixth sense for if I'm struggling or if one of us is in trouble, I spoke to him and it was a really lovely catch up. I have a lot of love for the man, he's really, really great"; well I wish Liam wasn’t stuggling but that’s lovely. And Louis too! "I spoke to Louis, I wanna say yesterday. We speak a lot, there's just a lot of laughing about random crap," he said, plus some Louis memories- “I can just hear his laugh in the back of my mind. We once broke into one of the stadiums in America and got chased by a woman… on one of those cop type things, a mall cop thing, and that was quite crazy. He also left me on my own while I was being arrested nearly by a French policemen that I had to push over… which that still scares me to this day. [laughing] That’s what friends are for! I helped him over the fence to get in somewhere, he left me with the policeman, who didn’t have a clue who I was and tried to arrest me even though I was just trying to go into my hotel.” UMM sorry I can’t hear anything past LIAM PUSHED OVER A COP?? Go ahead, make a list of ‘1D members most likely to fight a cop’ and if Liam isn’t DEAD LAST you’re just wrong and yet HERE WE ARE!! WHAT A DAY.

But alas rather than fighting cops now Liam is partnering with an entrepreneur (which I have had to type so many times in the last two days thanks to Liam that I guess I know how to spell it now they just keep SAYING it SO MUCH). Steve Bartlett said “the secret” is out, he recorded a podcast with Liam yesterday-- I’d call secret a bit strong, we had actually got that mate, but okay; he called Liam an entrepreneur and said “yesterday I recorded one of the most powerful, honest, REAL conversations on my podcast to date” and “if you love Liam you’ll love this.” I can absolutely guarantee you that is not true, I love Liam and already hate everything about this collab, but his wording does make me think we’ll get a bit of Liam’s trademark emotional spillage which I suppose I might appreciate despite this self help CEO guy being there too. Liam does have one thing to say that could sway me in this guy’s favor though- “he has the cutest dog ever” apparently! Anyway I may as well get used to him he’s suddenly everywhere-- Liam also patched him into his live to try yet again to convince us that NFTs are good by awkwardly relating it to “fans of boybands” by saying you know this could eliminate like fake tickets and such… Sure Steve sure but anyway he also says of Liam, “the guy you see on camera is the exact same guy off camera”.

Harry and Olivia were seen together in London (well, a grainy ass video of their backs was seen anyway), walking, with some people who look to be her parents and Harry’s PA (so romantic! Not at all work related!) I was initially skeptical of the claim that it was her parents since this fandom is obsessed with saying everyone is so and so’s parents (we’ll NEVER top the time the fandom was sure Harry was seen having lunch with Eleanor’s father though) but it actually seems like maybe it was. More for Harry to add to his collection, that man truly loves an extended family! I mean the whole thing is sketchy as hell, from the assurance that that’s DEFINITELY actually Olivia in the grainy video, FOR SURE, to the confirmation that that’s her mom with them which came when a blank insta page produced a random old picture of her mom in the same skirt, but like is it them, sure I imagine so, and people making sure we get the story anytime they’re together isn’t exactly new. In other news, Dave Meyers, director of the Adore You music video, says he originally pitched the Eroda story idea (“I have this idea, of you love- liking a fish”) to Katy Perry and the Black Eyed Peas, ASJKJASKL CAN YOU IMAGINE?

#Liam payne #holivia #harry styles #niall horan #louis tomlinson #2 jun 21 #the day we learned Liam fought a cop #HAPPY PRIDE INDEED #conor butler #liam has ALWAYS just spoken to louis yesterday but I totally belive him look at them doing all the same stuff #new artist showcase! this is totally them talking about this stuff #and he's totally the one that got Louis on the NFT thing #that's cute you guys now write some songs together again why don't you #I guess Harry could be tie for least likely to fight a cop #but like he wouldn't be out there talking about how great cops are which Liam definitely would #Liam is of course Most likely to be wasted enough for something like that to happen anyway #which I assume is what was the case

y'all ive been thinking

since a lot of NFTbros actually have no fucking idea how NFTs work, could we like, just trick them into buying ugly ass drawings for actual money?

like what if someone made a platform that pretended to let you buy and sell "NFTs" but really the only people who can sell things are actual artists like ion know there's a specific application process that you have to go through as an artist and it asks for an art porfolio and questions that no cryptobro could actually answer like how creating a new brush from scratch on a certain software works or some REALLY obscure art trivia and then like basically you ✨join the council of fucking pissbabies over✨

and like the platform pretends to let you buy a certain crypto (that doesn't actually fucking exist so they can't mine it) and buy art with it but really the artist just gets the money the dumbasses spent on them with like fake wallets and shit and made up price graphs all the garbage they're used to

and like we put ABSURD FUCKING PRICES on that shit. like $8000 for the worst art you've ever seen. like the worst shit ever, but we go wide in the choices to drag in as many idiots as possible and like we try to get an absolute fucking monopoly on that shit and get as many anti-crypto people on board as possible to pretend this is genuine and like, hate on it on their main accounts while they'd talk about that shit nonstop on side accounts

and then at some point when it gets big enough, we just reveal and crush their hopes and make sure they can never look at NFTs again without tearing up, like an ex who broke their heart

now now, that HAS to be illegal like it probably is, but could you fucking imagine we would be gods we would be the puppetteers we would be unstoppable

#like genuinely this would be the fucking play of the eon #tato speaks #fuck crypto #fuck nfts
