LOL this is the dumbest shit and I’ll have two scoops please.

“Mr. Davis, your case against Mr. Gruden has no standing as there was an exchange of Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper for future magic beans. That Mr. Gruden ate those beans thinking it would put ‘pep in his step’ is not the Court’s concern.”

NFL Joke: He regrets the ambiguity of his language in the contract

The dude is every much the charlatan that people who support him claim to hate.

I guess one of the real wrinkles here is the commodification of art - like does the structural changes to the music industry with regard to creation and distribution inherently suppress artistic growth?

“I’m authentic in all the wrong ways” does have some legs to it...

I’m with you on this - like if even Crime Mob or 3-6 Mafia weren’t actually doing or experiencing half the shit they talk about, it’s at least possible they weren’t leading lives barely distinguishable from those of a hedge fund manager in reality or projection.

What? No.

Admitting that entertainment class issues are only really meaningful for them would leave them pretty naked.

And as a tangent, I’m not ready to get a Grass Gambler, leather sandals and a button down with style and finesse and take in Maze at an outdoor venue. Like, don’t tell me that adopting my uncle’s cookout uniform is part of leaving 3-6 Mafia behind.

So I think it’s a two fold issue

Adoration of upper middle class Mid Century twee? That’s the thread I’m pulling on.

HEY KIKI, KUNO HAS A NEW DO FOR YOU!

I agree with that too from the perspective that you shouldn’t introduce things you have no intention of using really. Children are an implicit narrative constraint on the show, not an explicit narrative vehicle of constraint used time and time again. The latter of which many in the audience are expecting to make a cong…

I don’t think taking the pulse on who is most oppressed really stacks up though - in general, if you ape the attitudes and behaviors of oppression towards any group, that is the problem, not the relative distance from oppressed that your race/gender/class/anything is to others.

SOOOOOOOOO BAD

To me, the worst part about getting older culturally is that a lot of stuff just doesn’t apply. I’m not the angry young man I once was and a lot of that was effort on my part but a lot of stuff that spoke to me doesn’t anymore and I am borderline imploring the artist to talk about 30 year old man problems at this…

Panama, you gotta do a writeup about good gospel music now. You made this bed man!

That’s the thing I wonder about - what does contrition actually look like now. We have half hearted attempts that foist ownership back on to everyone else but the people who said the initial thing which is it’s own form of eye rolling but there really doesn’t seem to be a way to solidly ‘change’ other than front…

I’m going with Truck Turner, personally.
