I don't think that's true! I've never heard this song in the wild. At stores, in restaurants, in cabs. I don't think it's specific to "Choosin' Texas." It's just the first major hit song to come after the end of monoculture and I think it's worth asking "what a hit song is now."
What Some Folks Really Mean When They Claim to Have Never Heard ‘Choosin’ Texas’
Proclaiming you're unfamiliar with Ella Langley's record-setting song has a lot in common with saying "I listen to anything but country."

Succession way too high. (Maybe shouldn't even be on here.) No one's ready for that conversation though yet. Mad Men should be above Breaking Bad. The Leftovers and Battlestar should at least be in the top 10.
The New York Times’ final list of the 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century is now complete.
What do you make of the final ranking? Which placements surprised you the most?

So I was in the Mamdani campaign's Signal group briefly while he was running for mayor. His team shared campaign materials and coordinated access. But I did get a glimpse into how influencers behave with politicians which was uh certainly interesting...

Obvious from the Pro Tools session his team shared. They clearly exported AI-generated stems and mixed them. Not a bad trick and likely why this song blew up the way it did. It sounds fuller than your average AI song — because humans put in some effort.

Fenix Flexin now confirms he used AI for his hit song ‘RUBBERZ’ 💀
“Never said I didn’t use AI, I said it had nun to do with [the] recording process … Ain’t nothing wrong with using new technology as a tool keep up with the times or get left behind.”
Earlier this year, he denied any use of AI being used for the track …

Fascinating perspective! I personally think this sequence and this specific moment (and what happens immediately after) is one of the most upsetting things I've ever seen in a film.
Rewatched "The End of Evangelion" in theaters, few things in this world warm my heart more than the scene in which Maya and Ritsuko finally embrace

People were not actively reading The Lottery in 2008 lmfao. What you're noticing is that popular media used to be made by educated people being paid real salaries to make it. Unlike now, where everything you watch is stupid low effect garbage made by random people in their cars.
Kind of funny to see all this discourse about literacy and then catch a south park rerun from 2008 that makes extended references to and quotes shirley jackson’s the lottery. Like yeah wow people did used to read.

Serious question for people who watch this stuff: if a streamer is at this level of production why not just like get a real studio? Is the aesthetic part of the appeal? Like why not just run around a really nice set instead of a barely furnished McMansion? I don't get it.

Finally saw both:
-Backrooms was technically impressive, prettier, and better paced. Would watch again.
-Obsession had a tighter script, better characters, and was scarier. But it suffers from orange sludge lighting and is a meaner, nastier film I don't want to ever watch again.

It's been memoryholed, but in the early days of digital video it was actually extremely uncool to look like you knew how to be on camera. Especially if you were what we'd now call a "hipster." Video was for tryhards. It wasn't until 2012 when Vine hit that this started to change.
Fascinating artifact of the very narrow time frame when video capture was ubiquitous but awareness of how to appear on video was not yet quite there

So I started watching it. It's broadly fine. A lot of older actors who are too good for the script. A lot of ugly orange and blue car commercial cinematography. Whatever. Used to that. But the score was actually so bad I had to turn it off. Like distractingly awful. Bizarre.
THE BOROUGHS has been canceled at Netflix after a single season.
Viewership is the reason with the show notably tracking below titles like OBLITERATED and THE WATERFRONT.
