Happy 41st birthday to the iconic Lana Del Rey.
The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter holds one of the most acclaimed discographies in music today with albums like ‘Born To Die’ ‘Norman Rockwell’ ‘Ultraviolence’ and more. She is regarded as one of the most influential and impactful figures in music — often cited as an influence by numerous of her peers.
He cheated on her multiple times during their relationship and she forgave him every time and defended him publicly. She also has helped him raise his two kids from previous relationships and treat them as her own. She supported him throughout his entire career and helped him get healthy again too. Now he’s the one leaving her. Ladies this is why you need to stop forgiving him bum ass men who don’t deserve you. If they cheat, LEAVE. Give an ugly man a chance and he’ll act like he rules the world.
Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

Notice how "girls mature faster" is never stated as a reason to why girls should be given more positions of power and authority? It only works to hold girls to greater accountability than boys and to justify men's attraction to them.
She asked the culture a question and then the culture spent six years answering it.
Two months after this post went up and the internet tried to end her career, Taylor Swift released folklore. An album built on sadness, longing, and fictional heartbreak. The most dominant pop star on the planet pivoted to the exact aesthetic Lana was defending.
Seven months later, a 17-year-old named Olivia Rodrigo released "drivers license." A song about crying while driving. It became the biggest debut single in Spotify history. Rodrigo said it herself: "Lana raised an entire generation of songwriters and taught them that there's beauty in their vulnerability and power in their melancholy."
Billie Eilish said Born to Die "changed music." Taylor Swift called her "the most influential artist in pop." Three of the five biggest female artists of the decade gave her the credit publicly.
Pitchfork called her debut a "faked orgasm" in 2012. She went on to release nine consecutive top-10 Billboard 200 albums, cross 50 million equivalent sales, and headline Coachella.
Olivia Rodrigo's third album comes out next month. The title: "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love."
That's the answer to her question.
Service industry workers being called “low skilled” frustrates me so much because I could absolutely do a desk job and sit in meetings all day, but I guarantee you’d quit in 10 minutes if you had to serve the public for 12+ hours with a big fake smile on your face and no breaks
BREAKING: FedEx driver who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering 7-year-old Athena Strand, has been sentenced to death.
Tanner Horner snatched Athena while he was delivering a Barbie doll to her home in Paradise, Texas.
At one point during the trial, jurors broke down in tears while hearing audio of Horner killing Athena after he told her to take off her shirt and said she was "really pretty."
Athena repeatedly asked for her mother before she was killed.
"Horner is then heard asking Athena to remove her shirt, and there are several moments when she says "no" and asks for her mom. That was followed by repeated sounds of crying, screaming and banging," NBC reported last month.
Following three hours of deliberation today, Horner was sentenced to death by lethal injection.
He raped Celeste from the age of 12, murdered her, dismembered her body, and sang about her death and people will still say the death penalty for him is too far…
You’re telling me that for me to be born it took 1 dad, 1 mom, 4 grandparents, 8 great‑grandparents, 16great‑great‑grandparents… and NONE of them left me even a single plot of land?
“my sister's first-born child, i’m gonna take that too with me.
my grandmother's last smile, i’m gonna take that too with me.
it’s a beautiful life,
remember that too, for me.”
🚨 Lana Del Rey is set to release her new and long awaited diss track "All about Ethel" next week!
The song is also confirmed to be on the album as the 13th track as predicted.
