"If we keep punishing people for accidentally arriving somewhere somebody else has already been, eventually we’re going to frighten the creativity out of everyone." purr agree
Robbie Williams defends Olivia Rodrigo after she was accused of copying his song “Candy” with “take me home (4 christmas)”:
“Artists deserve to be protected. But there’s a difference between protecting your work and treating every vaguely familiar sequence of notes as a winning lottery ticket. It sounds to me as though she may have accidentally stumbled across a musical echo of mine in one of her new songs. And do you know what? I couldn’t care less. I don’t know whether there’s technically a publishing issue, a copyright issue, or no issue whatsoever. And I don’t want to know. I’m not going after her. Because I think at some point, some f**king sanity has to prevail […] We all stand on the shoulders of people who came before us. Sometimes consciously. Sometimes without even knowing it. That’s how music works. If we keep punishing people for accidentally arriving somewhere somebody else has already been, eventually we’re going to frighten the creativity out of everyone.”

republicans politicians dropping their acts and finally talking like the ivy league-educated people they are after the blue tsunami is sooooo funny to me lmao
Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore:
"Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"

LI youth grew up for the last 12 years having to deal with the most obnoxious in-your-face trump supporters, many of whom were their parents, who they grew up loathing. combine that with the shifting demographics, neighborhood ICE raids, and flock cameras… this is what happens

idk what the intention of this tweet is but community boards and meetings are so important for this city idc what anyone says, streamlining things is going to have a negative impact on this city for sure… mamdani won’t be mayor forever guys

just because the Mamdani endorses something doesn’t mean not to do your own research I don’t think letting businesses bypass community input was the move
New: NYC voters gave a confident “yes” to all five of the ballot measures put forward by Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s first charter commission, with election night results favoring proposals intended to streamline government processes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats have won the US Senate, ending Republican dominance in Washington by harnessing voters' frustration with Trump.
i wish i had the faith republicans do in dems lmao like yall so dramatic
I hate to say it, but America is over. The communists and jihadists are going to open our borders and replace our votes with votes from illegals aliens. We now have reps who openly speak about their hatred of America, their love of communism and their support for sharia law.
We won’t be able to undo the damage they cause on our country come 2028.
America 250 was a funeral.
The American Dream is dead.
