it’s so fucking embarrassing to find a conventionally attractive man attractive every time it happens. like oh you think the handsome man is handsome? you find the attractive guy attractive? derivative. passé. pedestrian

there’s been a big uptick in posts calling ukraine a nazi country. don’t fall for it. russia is trying to distract us both from their deliberate blowing of the kakhovka dam and what appears to be major breakthroughs from the ukrainian counteroffensive.
russia keeps going back to the neonazi angle because its the only tactic they have left. they can’t credibly claim warcrimes because the world has seen what they’ve done in ukraine and every other country invaded by russia has leapt at the chance to prove what russia did to their people. their threats of escalation and nukes have fallen flat because russia simply can’t retaliate without biting off more than they can chew. that leaves the neonazi angle which despite being a very small minority in ukraine, russia knows they can leverage that against the west…
…provided the west doesn’t look at russia.
russia has multiple neonazi volunteer corps and mercenary armies because of a policy called managed nationalism. they took all the far right elements that could have been a threat to the putin government and paid them to violently oppress immigrants, the lgbt and reporters. if you ever see russia accuse a country of something, look to see if russia is doing that thing.
we justifiably give Biden a lot of shit but I think "at least 3" is the funniest possible response to some right wing dipshit asking you how many genders there are
wait it gets better
Year-End Poll #63: 2012
[Image description: a collage of photos of the 10 musicians and musical groups featured in this poll. In order from left to right, top to bottom: Gotye, Carly Rae Jepsen, Fun, Maroon 5, Ellie Goulding, The Wanted, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, One Direction. End description]
We're starting to see the sound of the 2010's differentiating itself from the 2000's. EDM and dance pop is still big, especially that "festival sound". Nicki Minaj's Starships and Rihanna's We Found Love are notable examples of the "wordless chorus" (where the song builds up to a drop or some other kind of musical phrase instead of a traditional chorus) that will continue to shape the decade's musical landscape. We'll also start to see more examples of songs being attributed to the producer in addition to, or in some cases instead of, the vocalist.
But what's especially interesting this year are the new ways artists are being able to grow an audience. Traditional methods of promotion like TV are still present, with Fun's We Are Young gaining widespread popularity from its cover on Glee and One Direction gaining their initial popularity off of The X Factor. But this is the year we're starting to see the trends shifting. While Carly Rae Jepsen was already making a name for herself in the Canadian music scene through her appearance on Canadian Idol, her debut hit Call Me Maybe, started to take off in the States after Justin Bieber tweeted about it. This wasn't the first time a song blew up online, and it wasn't even the biggest this year.
I won't bury the lead: this was the year Psy's Gangnam Style took off worldwide. However, the song is not featured on this poll, because it only made it to number 47 on the Billboard Year-End chart. This is notable for any Korean language song (especially at the time), but for a song that was so universally known and parodied, if feels odd that it wasn't bigger than it was. The reason for that is Gangnam Style became popular through its music video, and Billboard didn't factor YouTube views into their charts at the time. Billboard changed their data collection to include YouTube views later this year. Was it because of Psy? Maybe. But after this year, we'll start to see a lot more instances of songs taking off in part to the performance of their music videos -- even more than the peak of MTV in the 80's.
