Happy 7 years Lust For Life! This album is pretty much a marker for my transition into adult life so it will always be so special to me.
Listening to the instrumentals while I work today, and they're so beautiful.

Currently listening to this record again and wow…a cultural reset

My Change tattoo that I got in February 2018, it was actually my first lol. It's the LFL font btw

I think so. We were really close to doing so in 2016, but a historically disliked candidate with baggage was running against a surging populist. Not to mention she was horrible at campaigning, acted like an elitist and chose a terribly boring VP candidate. 
 
Kamala is undoubtedly an upgrade, especially with her prosecutorial background. Assuming she doesn’t hold back, she’ll take Trump to town in a debate. If he’s even willing to debate her.

Personally I can’t believe there is a debate over whether to vote for an educated lawyer who called for a ceasefire in Gaza before the President did, or a guy who wears diapers and has spent the better half of this year in court for paying off a porn star. 

I actually believe Biden dropping out at this time was the best decision HEAR ME OUT.... 
 
If Biden had dropped out and left Kamala with the nomination before Trump's assassination attempt, it would've been over for the Democrats. We knew Trump's win was sealed if Biden had remained in the election, and I believe it would've been the same for Kamala. Now that the assassination attempt frenzy has died down, Biden dropping the bomb announcing his departure from the election only creates more attention towards the democrats, and EVEN MORE considering it is very likely Kamala will get that nomination (plus she already has a lot of support). I feel like Biden's inner circle knew he was going to drop out and they just waited for the right moment to announce it. 

If they don't choose kamala harris that will be americas (and the democrats) final nail in the coffin.

there’s something about this photo that actually gets under my skin.

like where was this attitude to all the kids who were victims of a shooting while they were in school?
or all the civilians who were victims of a shooting who were just out and about in public minding their own business?  

Trump supporters make no sense to me because why do they love him when everything he says is a lie ? 

They love being told the things they want to hear

I just saw online this will be the first election since 1976 to not have a Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ticket as the President or VP candidate
1980: Bush (VP)
1984: Bush (VP)
1988: Bush
1992: Bush, Clinton
1996: Clinton
2000: Bush
2004: Bush
2008: Biden (VP)
2012: Biden (VP)
2016: Clinton
2020: Biden

literally a cult, it is beyond scary to think they are grown adults who can vote..
 
slightly more optimistic about this election, but still not holding any major hopes for a dem win

additionally, if she does win, I think it’s proof that we no longer need to worry about how much candidates appeal to older, non-college-educated white men. Basically everything both parties have done since 2016 is appeal to that base in specific (and rightfully so, that base is what cost Clinton the election, and what helped Biden win back the Rust Belt). 
 
But, if Harris can offset the loss of that group by gains in college-educated white women, 18-35 age groups, and POCs, then we can stop worrying about appealing to that base - and hopefully they can slink off into oblivion. 

Rip to the guy who died that’s awful. But it’s wild they were more enraged about a ex president getting shot in the ear than a whole 2nd grade classroom getting slaughtered (let alone other hundreds of mass shootings that happen in this country every year). They only care about things when it happens to them or their cult leader.  

Well there's a difference between being a good leader and a good person
By "good leader" I mean good at getting people to follow you, not necessarily good policies
I can think of quite a few awful men who fall into this category
 

Part of it is the religious angle. Many say he’s been chosen by god  and that the fact that the bullet from his would-be assailant narrowly missed his head only further solidifies that. As well as being instrumental in overturning Roe v. Wade.
 
It’s hilarious because Trump represents just about everything imaginable that goes against “Christian” values. Yet the Christian right almost unanimously glorifies him. 

If I don't like a lana song that much (and there's only like 3) I don't think a rework could save it.
But I do think a superior version of many songs could be made by fusing parts from Demos + Final version. That's not exactly a rework tho.

This whole trans hysteria is really tiring.  Why do people think that they could possibly know better than the psychologists and specialized doctors that spend years getting degrees in this field of research?  Transgender people have always existed.  And children aren't getting gender-affirming medical procedures done, if anyone bothered to look into the process they would understand that isn't how it works.  It's a lengthy process that involves parental consent (if under 18), required meetings with therapists and more.  
 
Yes it's a real video but it's from over a year ago https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-vows-stop-gender-affirming-care-minors-re-elected-president-rcna68461

Absolutely disgusting. That’s already awful but I fear what else he’ll do to other groups of people and minorities if he becomes president again 

wait  what did I miss?

Ariana stop making me think Penn Badgley is attractive again

I listened to the song and it’s cute, regular, fine. Nothing special but also really not awful like most people are saying.. & it’s 100% on brand for Katy so I really don’t understand the hate train aside from Luke’s involvement. I’m still looking forward to the album.  

finally someone actually talking about the song and not jumping on the hate train without putting their two cents in about the actual song
