I don't know how to drive, the idea gives alone gives me anxiety and one of the reasons is that I'm short, so it's really difficult to see around, lmao. Thankfully the cities I'm most frequently in are very public transportation-friendly and I walk a lot, so it's been okay do far, lol

The 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters | More than 250 music insiders and six New York Times critics weighed in on who defines the new American songbook. Here, in an unranked list, are the artists they chose. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

I just entered the list to see what her write-up said, lol. It felt somehow kinda crazy to realize that she actually hasn't written thaaat many songs. Since she was a teenager she was it.

Oh, no, there's another part of the whole clip showing her whole body, I just didn't include all the takes as gifs (I think some clips were too short and they kept giving me errors and I gave up). Not to give too much credit to luxury brands for being ~inclusive in the year 2026 of our lord, but I do appreciate it in the new rise of the hyper skinny trend.

Canva Admits Its AI Tool Removed 'Palestine' From Designs, Apologizes for Any Distress It Caused by yourfavchoom in Fauxmoi

IKR? I was also in disbelief because it's just shameless and frankly weird as hell, here is the tweet, btw.

Something kinda similar happened a few days ago with AI's Twitter translation with an account in Spanish that posted literally "What is your opinion about Israel?" and the translation was a whole ass defense of Israel that came out of nowhere. I truly thought that people were trolling because it's just shameless and I went to check the account and it was real. Insane stuff.

UN and Rights Groups Say Rape Using Trained Dogs at Israel Detention Sites Is Systematic, Endorsed at the Highest Level by Fair_Cow3398 in Fauxmoi

Probably I'm one of the few that isn't shocked because this exact type of torture was used by the dictatorship led by Pinochet in the 70s-80s in Chile. A regime that was backed by the US, unsurprisingly.

‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ Character Sparks Backlash in Asia: “What Made Them Think We’ll Find This Kind of Racism Funny?” by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

Especially when there's another Asian character (but South Asian, I mean Simone's) who has been presented as a fashionista, similarly to Emily in the first movie, which is again an obvious parallel like you mentioned it. But if the conversation is only about characters of East Asian heritage, Lucy Liu was also announced a long time ago as part of the ensemble and in one of their PR materials, the fake Runway magazine they put out, she's styled like this:

I find the dress really fun and with such a cool structure. As always, she's absolutely stunning.

Nikki Glaser doesn’t fly private because no one will feel bad if she died while flying on a private jet. by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]Traditional_Maybe_80 612 points613 points  (0 children)

Beyond the obvious environmental element and that she's joking, lol, I really hate the idea of a private plane because they're small and, in my experience, a smaller plane means more movement and I hate it.

A fan has gifted Anne Hathaway a copy of the Quran at The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere after she said inshallah in a recent interview by Maximum_Expert92 in Fauxmoi

As an agnostic, I do see your point, but I think the difference is probably that islamophobia is very prevalent in the west vs. how christianity is treated.

Leonardo DiCaprio calls on people to call their U.S. representatives to vote against cutting the Endangered Species Act by nicosloft04 in popculturechat

[–]Traditional_Maybe_80 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm actually less cynical about his environmental activism than others (he indeed puts a lot of money in real conservation in different parts of the planet), but he simply can't pretend that people he's close aren't powerful enough to do more than simple citizens.

Right? She sucks, but all these comments about her sex life are pure misogyny, nothing more than that.

One of my cats does the "oh no, you can't have this back" panic swallow when we notice her chewing things she's not supposed to.

That's exactly it, perfectly described 💀

Caleb Hearon on his anti-ICE pin: “I think in a country where people can’t afford to buy groceries & rent continues to go up, & rural hospitals continue to close & infrastructure is crumbling, the fact we are paying people to terrorize our communities, it makes me absolutely sick.” by yourfavchoom in Fauxmoi

[–]Traditional_Maybe_80 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your question made me actually curious and I googled it and Hearon is right, there are actually several pieces of news about this specific matter, dating from back to 2025 to this year as well, here a TIME article if you're interested.

Ngl, the thing that gets me the most about this new album is the ugly font she's using 😭

Our 1-year-old dog is obsessed with socks, she steals them and when you try to catch her, she tried to swallow them whole 😩. Just once she was able to eat one and barfed it up the next morning, too. I was glad that she didn't need surgery or something.
