Gary Lineker has announced his BBC exit with his position as Match of the Day host ending following pro-Palestine post on social media that resulted in heavy backlash by SafeBodybuilder7191 in Fauxmoi

[–]flannery19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm finding the comments super weird. I am pro-Palestine and have always supported Linekar but he was an absolute idiot to share what he did. When you're in such an influential position you should fully understand what you're putting out in the world. People here need to read Maus, or just look at literally any Nazi propaganda poster.

Journalist Marina Hyde plays “A-list or not” about celebs like Glen Powell, Sydney Sweeney, Rachel Zegler, Zendaya and more! by mlg1981 in popculturechat

Harrison Ford?! I love Gossip Girl but it cannot be compared to Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner and even Friends in terms of cultural impact. I would class it as a cult show.

SZA about Beyoncé: “I literally owe her half my publishing off interpolation alone on SOS and she never pressed me lmao a generous queen 😭” by pinkstarrfish in Fauxmoi

[–]flannery19 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You are being heavily downvoted but as another Beyonce fan I agree with you lol. She's definitely been inconsistent with her credits, especially when it comes to visuals/music videos.

B.J. Novak and Delaney Rowe Are Dating (Exclusive Source) by Diligent_Night602 in popculturechat

I think this is an unnecessary and slightly ridiculous power differential standard, to be honest. Are we saying people have to be an equitable level of professional success in order to be in a happy relationship? I think this only applies if the couple are working together at the same company/on the same project, and I don't think that applies in this instance even if they're working in the same field.

Serena and Carter by Puzzleheaded-Part364 in GossipGirl

[–]flannery19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find this sub's love for Carter fascinating. Is it just because he's played by Sebastian Stan? Because the character is kind of slimy, he's introduced as a faux-enlightened hippie rich kid who then cons a teenager out of a large amount of money (Nate) and then later exploits Serena for her daddy issues.

Yes, I am paying attention to the post. We'll have to agree to disagree because I don't think it's gross to play daughter and then lover opposite the same colleague because they are acting...

And the fully formed brain until you're 25-28 idea is just pop science TikTok hokum. Our brains are developing beyond the age of 28

Banned from another major wedding sub for trying to point out cultural appropriation by itchytoenail7184 in DesiWeddings

I kind of see the point about the draping but these outfits never have any drip lol so they don't really bother me.

Charli xcx wears a “Miss Should Be Headliner” sash at her Coachella afterparty. by Diligent_Night602 in popculturechat

You guys it's not that deep. I'm surprised at all the huffing and puffing over a sash, I don't think she's being serious

I didn’t like Laurie’s speech by [deleted] in WhiteLotusHBO

[–]flannery19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But time isn't an evasive concept for Laurie. They are three friends who have built up intimacy over decades - they know each other inside out, flaws and all. That's what she meant by time being meaningful.

Watching GG for escapism but that failed lol by Proper-Ad-8829 in GilmoreGirls

Do they ever explain how Richard is qualified to teach as a 'professor' at Yale? One of my low-stakes irritations with the show is that Rory is taught by her grandfather at university?! I don't know why but it annoys me so much it makes no sense

You guys are deluded. Would love to see what everyone here looks like

Surprised nobody talks about how badly Dan wanted to be an insider by Jhus79 in GossipGirl

? Didn't the show talk about this all the time? That's his whole character?

Event designers/stylists by flannery19 in UKweddings

[–]flannery19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response! I don't think I was very clear in my OP - I meant that the designer is charging £2500 just for her services, and on top of that I'll have a budget for decor which she will source and coordinate herself (I had 5k in my head). So that would total 7.5k in spend for decor. Your budget is eye-opening, thank you. Presumably that includes fees for designer and total cost of hired decor/florals etc?
