    these idiots are just trying to appease trump and his base. "we did all we could please re-elect us"

    it's very slow but i couldn't not watch it. it's so counter to current attention spans. it's compelling in many ways and super weird creepy and ultimately brutal. it changes.. it has chapters. it turns.. but the turns are not any less slow. he makes the world's he portrays foreign.. sometimes inhuman. i watched all of it and i'm glad i did. his stuff, all of it that i've seen, is like a moving photoshoot. that probably sounds stupid since we're talking about movies which are literally moving photos.. but the lighting and the details and wardrobe.. it's all kind of intense but muted. i don't know.. it's hard to explain. the neon demon is like that too in some ways though is more cohesive with its subterranean LA model world and fame etc.

    it's a pain. a few years ago i had to go to a bunch of fmaily weddings. like 4 in one year.. and i skipped one. and now there's another scheduled for this summer and i don't think i can do it. they're all on the other side of the country.

    i've only ever heard black people say it in reference to white people.

    typical.

    it's definitely a sarcastic southern thing black people form the south say in referrence to a white person doing the thing that any decent human being would do but expecting praise for it because they're white and in the south. like holding the door open for an old person and thinking that you've parted the sea and delivered the jews to paradise. i'm not sure why my brain connected that saying with this thread but that's brains i guess. edit: now that i think of it it's also a jab at white people being two faced. one way in public but another way in private, in teh voting booth, in the field wearing white hoods and robes and burning crosses but big smile and "pardon me let me get that door for you". i'm going to sleep before i start referencing Bulworth.

    interesting experiment. wasn't aware of that. i remember the milli vanilli controversy.

    yeah.. it's kinda gross. in general i find being disingenuous intollerable. for some reason this reminds of something i heard growing up in florida.. "well, that's mighty white of you" . when someone wants extra credit for just being a human being. white hero trope. "thanks for our civil rights. so mighty white of you". can't recall where i heard it first. probably between some adults when i was a kid. anyway.. i think constructive criticism is an art and a lot of people don't know how to do it and usually just are dicks about it and can't be objective. for some people it's a hard thing to learn. often it's better to say nothing. the internet is a big weird place with room for all kinds of non-mainstream shit on mainstream platforms. anonymity can still be had if that's desired... as can unapologetic presentation. the fans and haters seem to appear regardless. directing people to the welcoming places and building community around it takes guardians (fuckn mods). my back hurts.

    rudy announced the trump campaign is trying to bring another case to the supreme court. jesus these fucks. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/supreme-court-trump-giuliani-election-b1780166.html

    dong worry

    some people do.. some don't. there's young people on line looking for feedback on their creations and have no experience w/an kind art type environment so constructive criticism can be helpful.. encouragement too. some kids or more sensitive and vulnerable than others and lack acceptance in their lives so the internet can be that safe space or something.. some people don't need any encouragement and give zero fucks and it's usually pret obvious who the confident people are who are going to hustle to get wherever they need to go. consensus is it's generally more difficult for women to be taken seriously in many environments. idk. i don't study or track this stuff. also, since 2004 i've lived in the portland bubble so my perspective is probably different. there's lot's of people here of all stripes who play gigs, make art and do things with lot's of support from the community and various scenes.. at least.. when there's not a pandemic.

    not being a woman is holding back so many men from getting more internet comments.
