Sweet Carolina, Thunder, Violets for Roses, and Beautiful have emerged as my current favorites, especially the former 2. I think Sweet Carolina will become one of those classic Lana songs tribute artists will cover within the next 30-40 years.

I really resonate with Lana's (purported) feelings/relationship with her mother. In "LA Who Am I To Love You", when she says "I never had a mother", I don't take her literally, obviously. But my interpretation is that (like me) she never had a typical mother figure. My mother tried her best, as I'm sure Patricia did, but she was who she was--and that person was a bit cold, aloof, anxious; all the things we're expecting a mother not to be. I remember how guilty I felt growing up because I was constantly jealous of my friends' mothers. They seemed to maternal and loving, like you could go to them with any issue they had and they'd put their arm around you and pull you close and help you solve it. But my mother would've ran and hid the moment the waters became turbulent. Obviously, I don't know exactly what the nature of Lana and her mother was/is, but I do know what it is like to have someone you call mom but to also never have had a mother.

1. Fear-mongering is high, but it's not coming from the government. We have privatized news (good), but since we have a 24-hour-news-cycle (bad), news providers rely on entrainment value to make money/get our clicks. Therefore, the punchiest, most alarming headlines = the most clicks = the most ad revenue. This won't change anytime soon, we just need to be aware of this when consuming news. 2. Transparency by health officials are not low in the EU, S. Korea, Canada, USA, and the UK. We are almost getting a play-by-play accounting for the newest studies. 3. Yes--vaccination is not the only way to get protection from this disease. There is a strong case for natural immunity. BUT, as your own graph points out, hybrid immunity and immunity within 6 months of vaccination is equally as strong as solely natural immunity (or stronger). Therefore, the common denominator to ensure everyone has some level of protection is vaccines, which is why we use proof of vaccination and not proof of infection. 4. It is important to criticize both studies, doctors, and public health officials--but at the end of the day, none are omnipotent. They are largely making educated guesses, and we need to keep that in mind and cut them some slack. In the case of masks, it is better to be over prepared than under prepared, and have to deal with the fallout of thousands of kids coming down with a disease that could worsen community spread.

I wish my siblings did acid with me too.

Was really hoping we’d get something like a “right where you left me (original version)” for the Evermore anniversary :/

The people in her comments are why so many people vote Republican tbh. This woke extremism only sends a silent majority further to the right. It really pisses me off because there are real issues to be discussing.

Imagine commenting on a social media platform that is thoroughly corrupt, using a phone/laptop that was mass produced with borderline-slave labor, criticizing someone for buying fast fashion. Have people stopped washing their fruit or something or has everyone just chemically lobotomized themselves?

Cher is her mom? But ya honestly I am shocked at how many (and let's face it, how many gay men) are dragging Lana for that outfit. That's ridiculous and gross. She's a singer, not a model after all. Her look makes no difference.

Dicked dowN in California. Deez Nuts Calling.

Lana Del Rey presents: "Duck, North Carolina" (it's a real place).

I was a conspiracy theorist, wearing my MAGA Dress, down at the Democratic National Convention Conference

I was just wondering if you had been banned and then you post a link to that site lol. It's like I have a 5th sense or ESPN or something.

If the album is called "Del Norte County", I hope it's stylized: Lana Del Norte County

Dark, ethereal, moody version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" please!

I mean this is kinda obviously about Elon Musk right? Not my favorite Grimes song ever, but maybe in the context of the album it will grow on me.

This was the first year in three that Mariners Apartment Complex wasn’t in my top 10 songs. The end of an era.

Since it's release, I've listened to All Too Well (10 Minute Version) 55 times (550 minutes).

I was there, it gave Cher, I remember it alllll too wellllllll

Stunning album. A true serve and well worth the long wait (looking at you Lorde).

10 Minute Version of Champagne Problems. I just KNOW there is more to that story.
