@gobbo_fiend @REIGNSBACH my exposure is mostly posh brits named bertrand/bertie lol i don't think it's that common in quebecois french unless it's a surname and there isn't a sizeable german pop here but fair dues on the etymology 😅
@camgurlarie@fkajack makes me feel sad for the culture of the states. not that there wasn't homophobia in canada, but no one (i was 16 when this dropped) had any backlash against this song, it was just a jam
@kuhpunkt lmao i was 16 when the show ended. the fact that grown adults had problems following it really speaks to a lack of media literacy.
the show is about human connection and fate, wrapped in a sci-fi-fantasy-mystery burrito.
@kferrDC @Tyre_94 accents are part of code switching. my brother is hella white washed and when he speaks to old azns he goes full asian, has a thicker taiwanese accent and switches between mandarin/english. my scot friend who has a neutral canadian accent actively gains a scottish accent abroad
@ksorbs jesus christ superstar is a straightforward adaptation of the passion as a rock opera. please engage in media literacy. the bit here is that the romans mocked jesus on the march to calvary. textually the musical is very pro-christian
it's been adapted a million times. ffs
@AlectheLad@Kektimusprime@Johnny_Rocket6@ElDuderinoGG moore writes about the complexity of humans, how none of us singularly should be the arbiter of morality esp. as vigilante figures- let's question what we believe is in the interest of the greater good... & ppl think he means ozymandias was right and rorschach was wrong lmao
Nicolas Cage says "protect yourselves from AI."
“There is another world that is also disturbing me, and it’s happening right now around all of us — the new AI world. I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us. Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us. That is a dead end if an actor lets one AI robot manipulate his or her performance even a little bit, an inch will eventually become a mile and all integrity, purity and truth of art will be replaced by financial interests only. We can’t let that happen. The job of all art in my view, film performance included, is to hold a mirror to the external and internal stories of the human condition through the very human thoughtful and emotional process of recreation. A robot can’t do that. If we let robots do that, it will lack all heart and eventually lose edge and turn to mush. There will be no human response to life as we know it. It will be life as robots tell us to know it. I say, protect yourselves from AI interfering with your authentic and honest expressions.”

david lynch was an artist in every sense of the word. his work reshaped cinema in more ways than one and taught me to trust the process. blue skies and golden sunshine, all along the way
@JamesConnor1999@theJagmeetSingh jagmeet walked up to that 'member of the public' and asked him to repeat what he said; that guy's spine folded like origami and he pretended he didn't say shit. how are you supposed to debate or confront ideas if your opponents can't even own up to their criticisms? lol
