This is the main issue. Trump as an individual is one thing, but it's the millions of people and politicians he's galvanised into radical alt-right nutjob thinking that will carry on his legacy. Vance, Cruz, Desantis and so many more are merely a glimpse of what's to come. And on top of that, this will only propel the Democratic party further to the right to appease the masses.

Liam Payne, former member of One Direction, dies at 31
The Missing Shade of Blue replied to Elle's topic in World News
I wish people would understand that's okay to have complicated and mixed feelings about it. You're allowed to respect his victims while still mourning the tragic loss of someone whose early stardom propelled him into a dark space filled with addiction and abuse. You're allowed to grieve the teen boy you adored when you were young. You're allowed to grieve the lost potential, the hope of a reunion, and the wish of someone being able to turn their lives around again. You're also allowed to feel angry at his actions. I have no stake in this because I was never a fan of him or 1D. But, I feel like a lot of energy is being expended at cancelling someone who is already dead. Like, what's the goal? I also understand and find it weird how fans are deifying him to such a point that his former partners and bandmates are now being harassed online. At the end of the day, the most heartbreaking aspect is that there is a little boy who will grow up without his father. If not for anyone else, at least have some empathy for that little boy.- 57 replies

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/sep/27/maggie-smith-the-magisterial-star-of-harry-potter-and-downton-had-the-courage-and-talent-do-absolutely-everything I am GUTTED. She was such a phenomenal actress. But I'm comforted by the fact that she was able to live such a full and rich life. May she rest easy. Thank you for all the wonderful childhood memories.

Who are you and what are you doing in the LanaVerse?
The Missing Shade of Blue replied to Liz Taylor Blues's topic in Games
I'd be an academic at LDRU. I recently completed my PhD in Honeymoonology and am currently teaching the following courses: - Young and Beautiful: The Obsession with Youth in Popular Culture" – A philosophical and sociological examination of how youth and beauty are idealised, focusing on Lana’s reflection on these themes. With a specific look into The Virgin Suicides and The Picture of Dorian Gray. - Blue Jeans and White Lies: The Construction of 21st Century American Iconography" – Exploring how fashion, symbols, and cultural references create a modern mythology in her lyrics. With a specific look into Bonnie and Clyde and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.
