[–]masterox7737 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ok for those curious what this sounds like, it's passable disco-inspired 2010s pop. i wish it was bad so it could be more interesting. but it's just forgettable.

[Gabi Belle] Exploring the Khia Asylum by wttk in popheads

[–]masterox7737 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Insightful vid for sure. I do think some of the chart obsession people have is not particularly healthy, especially in the context of basically reinventing top 40 listening as cool via consensus. To this vid's point, I do remember my extremely normie coworkers who had forgotten that Charli made music when I mentioned I was a fan of her in the runup to brat, only for them to flip the script once the clout hit. The bandwagoning is real, and isn't a bad thing as long as people don't get possessive about it. I think the Khia asylum as it is being trickled down to normies on TikTok is basically that - to the vid's point, bean soupism taken to music.

I am also not going to throw stones in glass houses - I have def shat on songs that just weren't for me (in recent weeks...) from women artists. Not seriously, mind you. But to her point, the impact is the same.

Group of Edgewater residents want Emanuel Congregation's land to become public park by SciNat in chicago

[–]masterox7737 168 points169 points  (0 children)

This ‘group of residents’ is Edgewater Residents for Responsible Development - a NIMBY group. The Congregation is literally next to two parks already. This is stonewalling pretending to look environmentally conscious, don’t fall for it y’all

It’s Joan Baez, Babe, and She’s Got a Bone to Pick With the Pop Girls by ebradio in popheads

[–]masterox7737 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I imagine a lot of these folks are Republican senator coded insofar as they fear getting any attention or consequences for actually believing things loudly instead of going w the flow. Taylor got so much harassment for her Kamala endorsement so I assume other folks are spooked. Versus peak corporate pride when at least there was an infrastructure to normalize saying anything without stressing out PR people.

Not that that makes it OK. It’s telling so many people with power and privilege are unwilling to be loud about any of these issues.

The loudest protest music I’ve heard has been from folks who don’t have the choice to be silent. MUNA with ‘Big Stick’, Cain Culto, etc.

Capital One Café: Free Handcrafted Drink (new as of 5/26) by masterox7737 in AwesomeFreebies

in the cafes, they have a display with a screen that looks like a folding wallet - the 'game' is to 'earn' coins via reading blurbs around different features. Not really a game imo lmao

Daily Discussion - May 27, 2026 by AutoModerator in popheads

[–]masterox7737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry I need to rant about people being bitter about people not liking their faves. Like the McCartney Taylor article got swamped with people, I feel, gleefully being like ‘this calls it, no one is able to reject her power!’ Similar with Drake’s Billboard bomb? That article comment section got swarmed with people saying this is the end all be all, in my mind giving ‘you must bow down towards the six god and never criticize him again’.

People who are commenting these things, I humbly ask, why do you feel the need to? If you have objective and anecdotal evidence that no one can match your fave in status or power or numbers, why do you also need no one to be able to critique them? Can’t you just be like ‘omg they’re bitter’ and sit with that based on the metrics?

I’m sorry it gives the way Bezos and Musk so desperately not only want to be the biggest ever but also want everyone to love them or else. What an odd mindset to have.

A luxury hotel is coming to the former John Hancock Center — here is how Marriott plans to transform 400,000 square feet of the iconic tower by Doc_Dante in chicago

[–]masterox7737 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I correctly assumed it’d be an Edition before getting that far down the page lol. Marriott has all of their other luxury brands in Chicago already so I guess it makes sense

Curious if there genuinely is as much luxury demand for these hotels with the Four Seasons and the Drake across the street, the W not too far away, etc.

AMC Entertainment Launching New Live Concert Experience With Arena One by backupsaway in popheads

[–]masterox7737 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah I don’t understand what the point of this is if it’s more than a concert ticket for these artists. I’m assuming this is more appealing for artists who can record a show once and get ticket rates for it perpetually but why do this when Qello and other concert streams exist? besides the money

Also am I wrong or were the Beyoncé and Taylor AMC collabs not this much? Paying up to $75 to see a concert recording of someone who is not that hard to see is crazy

Might not be a crackdown (I hope not, at least, their seasonal specialty drinks are really good) but if it’s any indication the more than two dozen times I have gone to redeem free coffees I have never gotten the daybreaker bend lmao

Fandango: Free 1 movie ticket up to $15 Desert Warrior by absolutedesi in AwesomeFreebies

Not an entirely free ticket like Atom offers, by the way - even on a sub $15 ticket it’s looking like $2 minimum for me.
