Trying to make this work. How do y'all do this???

This is actually a condescending view of working-class people. I grew up in a working-class immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster and The Cheesecake Factory for "fancy nights out." But even we understood that the White House should not look like the inside of a Red Lobster. Working-class people are not culturally illiterate just because their experiences are shaped by their limited means.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Cheesecake Factory populism is so weird to me because the rise of chain restaurants created over-the-top, replicable dining experiences, which eventually put the final squeeze on mom-and-pop restaurants, such as the US version of trattorias. I would argue those family-owned neighborhood businesses made the dining experience feel more special and pulled communities together. The shift to chain restaurants homogenized American life and concentrated corporate power. Strange to frame corporate consolidation as "populism."

This is a quote about this from my interview with Javier Bardem.

for pretty obvious reasons this is the thing that maximally hits my boomer resentment rage button. they lived in a world where you could take this journey and just fucked around coasting off the hospitality of poor people and looking for drugs.

artists and designers are often looked over in their work for album covers, so i mocked up this proposal for spotify to incorporate profiles for visual creators. the profiles would be linked through "behind the cover art" credits/stories that spotlight the contributors. example:

@Croc_Block It's kind of a loaded gun, too; the "diehard" fan. The obvious benefit is rooting them out, the unforeseen con is the countless explainer videos where they make themselves sound like the foremost experts on the character/ story in particular by narrating that shit word for word.

@Frxstify Was inspired to create a poster that tried to embody the theme of the movie "Sound of Metal", and
strayed away from the ways in which it had already been represented.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

@studio__aaa @aaronfdesign They're visibly evolving into the Team Rocket of this space. Probably understand why Ash would be so annoyed

[Astle Monteiro @ItsLikecAstle]

@Markbuschn To be fair, you have very interesting ways of using them.
