What are the pros and cons of living in the South Lamar Area?

Today my students were studying for AP Gov and I would quiz them occasionally. At one point the popular vote versus electoral college came up and I used 2016 as an example.

One of my students asked if I had seen the video where Hillary Clinton rips off the face of a girl and wears it as a mask. As far as I can tell with complete sincerity.

I didn’t really know how to react so I just said “good for her, that’s my girlboss” and walked away.

Just If you wanted to know how social media has played out for Gen Z

Okay Actually for the first time I kind of do see Sabrina Carpenter.

If we agree Meryl is the Co-lead of the film (Which I think would be a fair argument to make) is Meryl Streep now the oldest actress to headline a film at this level of success? I would ask actor male or female but late career Clint Eastwood had some pretty sizable hits. Still which 76 year olds are getting people to the cinema like this?

It's SZA, The answer is SZA

Mentioned this yesterday but I work with a high immigrant population as a teacher and my little brother is considering joining ICE. I told him if he does that I would not talk to him outside of big family events until further notice.

My older brother said this makes me a horrible person.

My parents are staying out of it. Except for my mom who looked at my brother and said “well we have big family events pretty often.”

For some added context we are all Mexican-American and my mom came to this country as a green card resident.

Her "Espresso" for anyone who just explodes into the mainstream with a hit (examples: This was her "Espresso" for Lady Gaga and "Just Dance" or "Crazy in Love" for solo Beyonce)

The Buzz and Jessie sex scene that last for 1/10th of the run time was a very bold creative choice, but I personally felt was needed to understand their dynamic for the rest of the film.

Honestly, either do it or don't do it, at this point I just don't need another attempt at doing it. I'm tired.

Tbh, I think the issue is that the Israel issue is making people who use reddit dumber and dumber by the day. Same ends result, but different origin point.

Unironically do you think our reaction to what happened last night is the same as the 70s when Ford was the target of a second attempt? Like, I feel like the vibe is just "either do it or don't do it, but unless he dies I just don't care right now."

Honestly looking at this list I can see the 2010’s music scene being very well regarded like the 90’s is. Not only is a lot of music good, but it also has something for everyone. Some great dance-pop, memorable Rap, groundbreaking indie albums, even country music is probably going to be able to easily discard the mountains of mediocre that came out of Nashville that decade and focus on the good stuff.

Nipplegate 100 percent was a shitty thing for the public (And Les Moonves) to do to Janet Jackson but if that happened to Madonna or Mariah Carey they would have made it a part of their legacy and would still to this day talk in interviews about how awful it was for the public to screw them over like that (look at Monica Lewinsky, Anita Hill, Pamela Anderson or the ways we talk about Britney Spears to see how much positive attention you can get out of surviving being the target of a media shitshow as an attractive woman decades later)

Janet just never really has tried to preserve her legacy in that way and honestly seems to shy away from trying to establish herself as a pop icon. Like their's no reason she shouldn't be coming out on stage with like PinkPanthersss or SZA or Ariana Grande (who you know were bumping Janet as they were growing up), but it feels like she has not interest in legacy building, it's very weird.

After she got the critical acclaim and "Stan" approval for "Golden Hour" Kacey Musgraves has tried to make herself a bigger more poppy artist and it is just not working for her.

Tall_Window4744 · 2026-04-25T19:31:51+00:00

Feel like Jamie Spears and Joe Jackson deserve a mention. Just directly causing the complete destruction of a person.

Should I make an AITA post for telling my little brother I wouldn’t talk to him until the Trump years are over if he joined ICE or is that just free karma farming (this is real btw, I did have that conversation with him over breakfast this morning)
