2026 is the year of yearning

Kicked it off with the mass psychosis caused by Heated Rivalry, and now Olivia Rodrigo's new album is causing a summer seizure

FALL IN LOVE AGAIN AND AGAIN

@swiftslivia It speaks a lot about the degree of self-hatred that the Filipino fandom of that white woman has internalised that they're roaring to defend the street cred of a person who has never given back to them or their community the way Olivia has

Bonkers

@clearnightsong So your solution is to capitulate imbis na reclaim? Like, bakit? Pilipina/Filipina is a thing. Porn-addled passport brain rot should not cause us to lose those words

What a weird, self-shrinking take

@Given06yt In 40 years hopefully other things will have improved, too. Leaner population, less stress on resources, maybe better educated populace.

@crueIendeavour She makes suuuch an important point about how many of these forms of art are expensive and inaccessible to the average person

Which makes it even nicer that Olivia's rollout platformed them, making us experience 10 times the art than just her music. It was magical!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

@koalafied_ @nicoquejano Yeah, but your DDS relatives and friends are not senator's wives, are they? And if they are, why are you not talking to them?

Also, anong part sa OG tweet ang "attacking"? He raised a point.

[gegenpressing @keepthedevil]

@_itstinojay @nicoquejano How is she tumitindig? By tweeting? Which benefits who exactly? Anong maitutulong ng political enlightenment ng isang fan compared to her senator's-wife-friend's? Libre kasi magtweet, gumaganda pa nga brand niya. Pero to call out her inner circle would actually cost her

On new Charli song - I think she's posing hyperpop as equivalent to Warhol's pop art (garish & skirts the line between commentary & object) & simply continuing the historical analogy by bringing in the Velvet Underground
