Bad habits die hard. Purge the shit out of this country, Volodymyr

His pal Reznikov was caught doing shady things since before this conflict and even during 2022 he was doing shady things and it took over a year for Zelenskyy to “fire” him and he still now walk free with all his stolen money

And Redditor still believe Zelenskyy is pure with 0 corruption

And remember, ukrainian slave, he is a human with human rights who deserve cosmetic punishment, and you are a draft evader with a debt to die for your country, otherwise you are a traitor and go to prison for 5 years.

Probably will get deleted but Ukraine hit a new hight, you get fired if you have a contact with person from Russia or Russian controlled territories so is basically illegal to communicate with people living there even if it's your family

The critic here writes:

In the mid-to-late aughts, as The National was gathering acclaim with darkly experimental albums, another artist was rising to prominence: Taylor Swift. On the surface, these two acts are starkly different. Where The National's songwriting is impressionistic, Swift's is diaristic—built on personal stories that typically forgo abstraction or even difficult metaphor. Where The National's charisma lies in its mysteriousness, Swift earnestly says just what she means. The National is known for somber dude-rock; Swift found fame with anthems of heartbroken but upbeat young-womanhood. (In her 2012 hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” she even jabbed at pretentious guys who are obsessed with dude-rock, like the ex who ran off to listen to “some indie record that's much cooler than mine.”) The National became the house band for a certain segment of Millennial yuppies; Swift became one of the biggest stars in the world.

If The National became the house band for a certain segment of Millennial puppies, Swift becoming one of the biggest stars in the world was a sign of the zeitgeist. Of the explosion of teen/late teen girls all over the internet trying to find the artist with whom they can connect their feelings. And with social media and YouTube, all that search for meaning propelled towards one person: Taylor Swift. Swift wasn't some Disney Hannah Montana Miley Cyrus act, she was a self proclaimed country rock singer. It was very unusual for her to become the world's biggest solo female rockstar since Madonna.

After the pandemic interrupted Swift's promotional plans for her 2019 album, Lover, she reached out to the multi-instrumentalist Aaron Dessner to help produce two new albums, Folklore and Evermore, the latter of which featured all five members of The National—whom she called her “favorite band”

Aaron Dessner has produced 17 out of 31 of her latest album.

Again, the critic points out how Taylor Swift made The National lighter in tone and touch:

Now it appears that Swift may have pushed the men of The National in new directions too. On the band's latest album, First Two Pages of Frankenstein, out in April, Swift's influence feels pervasive. It's not just her voice, which she lends to the lilting track “The Alcott”; she seems to have taught them something about the mode of candid self-expression that she has mastered. In so doing, The National and Taylor Swift have become one of the unlikeliest and most productive synergies in contemporary music—the cross-pollination of a gloomy indie-rock fraternity and proudly sentimental, stadium-charming pop.

And

in First Two Pages of Frankenstein, the songwriting is tighter and often brighter, and Berninger's meanings are remarkably direct. On the hopeful-sounding “New Order T-Shirt,” Berninger collages images with his trademark flair, and then, atypically, explains himself in a chorus that Swift herself might have written: “I keep what I can of you / Split-second glimpses and snapshots and sounds.” Over the danceable beat of “Tropic Morning News,” Berninger even tells a tale about learning to share his inner life: “There's nothing stopping me now / From saying all the painful parts out loud.”

However there is nothing new to this long before Taylor Swift collaborated with The National, they had already started pivoting away from the doom&gloomy of their previous records like High Violet in search of their own tonality. The break came in 2013 with Trouble Will Find Me. With tracks like Sea of Love, Hard to Find and I need my Girl ; they proved more than capable that they are capable of changing. It had nothing to do with Swift (sorry swifties, you don't get points for this one).

But the main thesis of this post:

Taylor Swift has long since realized she can't be doing this Lover or Midnight albums until she would want to get relegated to the sidelines like a caricature like Madonna. Yes she has a Number 1 hit every now and then, but people still view her as "that s*x bomb" from the 80s and that public perception has led her to do some truly questionable stuff (can't sell stuff if you're not relevant, can't be relevant if you're not trying to keep alive the public's perception of you).

Hence the abrupt break in Folklore. Which continued in Evermore. Yes Midnight was a return to the peppy Taylor Swift but TTPD is in style, artwork, lyrics (apart from 4-5 crowd pleasers, you have to turn such a titanic brand like Taylor Swift slowly) and production it is much more The National than The National's 2024 album Laugh Track can be called Swiftesque.

Tl;dr - If The National have been the sad dads of rock, the scotch drinking, white collar, upscale millennial's go to band, Taylor Swift is fast on her way to becoming the suave mom of pop, the wine drinking, city dwelling, upscale late millennial and early Gen Z woman's go to artist. Whatever lyrical and musical differences remain at the end is the most earnest man/woman split in culture.

Niru is a very famous MapleStory streamer who became the first person to ever reach 299 lvl. Ever since then a huge amount of people in the community have been watching his streams and waiting for him to get to lvl 300, even the devs were watching him. In his final stream, he managed to get 299 99.99% and immediately logged off the game and started shit-talking the devs right in front of 20k viewers on Twitch

What's even funnier is the fact that the official Maplestory account on Twitter had already made a tweet congratulating him

The devs even promoted the stream through in-game banner but when he started ranting the banner instantly disappeared

RDrama exclusive: I headed down to the protest, kinda quiet this morning. Israeli counter-protestors have now shown up with "bring them back" signs. Mostly old jewish ladies, sort of abortion clinic vibes. Lots of cops, as well as what appears to be a news cam getting set up. No more terrorist flags unfortunately but hopefully the counterprotestors will farm some sneed.

Police got there almost instantly lmao, no wonder there aren't nearly as many hobos over here as in NYC

A couple grad students arrested and kicked out for the protest

could this be a catalyst in election year to kick start a summer of fiery but mostly peaceful riots...the pro hamas shit doesn't seem to be gaining the traction that was hoped for...

Outside of the sub echochambers, the normal consensus appears to be that the show vastly failed to capture any of the magic or uniqueness of the books.

"I don't agree with this person about this particular show, but there isn't anything inherently wrong with being easily entertained. What a weird choice of insult."

WRONG WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!
