Just learned that when Mama Pao says “The Pearl of the Orient is ours!” in Tagalog as the ship passes by, it’s actually a reference to the West Philippine Sea dispute. The line refers to China’s expansive claims over the waters despite the 2016 arbitral ruling rejecting the legal basis of those claims and the continued harassment Filipino vessels face. I have no choice but to stan😭🇵🇭
🚨 let me tell you what actually happened because nobody's framing this correctly..
three 19-year-olds in South Carolina cut down a Flock surveillance camera and smashed it with a hammer until the battery exploded.. charged with criminal conspiracy..
Flock Safety.. $8.4 billion private company.. 96,000 cameras.. 49 states.. every time your car passes one it logs your plate, location, time.. feeds it into a national database connecting 700+ cities.. no warrant.. no crime needed.. just driving..
in Milwaukee a cop used Flock to stalk his ex.. they assigned an Internal Affairs detective to investigate.. that detective got charged in July for doing the exact same thing.. 20 unauthorized searches..
the ACLU launched "Get the Flock Out".. class action filed in California.. 80 cities pulled their cameras.. in Utah two more teens just got arrested after watching "de-flock America" videos..
even the neighbor whose house almost caught fire from the explosion said he's not mad at the kids.. he's mad a private company is running surveillance instead of the government..
good morning, i lied. i never actually saw a happy gay couple kiss i just wanted to post this video bc it makes me laugh. does that make me an unreliable narrator? who’s to say. a storyteller? yes, perhaps.
yeah and guess why, because we are industry professionals who personally know and work with the people you idolise. and you pay for meet and greets. so we actually can tell you to shut the fuck up if you're being rude little brats <3
look how easy it is to put together a pleasing outfit if you simply learn the entire semiotic history of men's dress and use first principles and deductive reasoning to arrive at the logically correct outfit

Zara Larsson says she doesn’t want to be submitted for Best New Artist at the Grammys following her breakthrough:
“I was speaking to my former label about this, and they were like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to see if we can put you in Best New Artist for the Grammys.’ And I’m like, I don’t even want that. That would downplay the 13 years of me being an artist. I’m not a new artist.”
