Gorgeous Gardenia

Almost every human society and civilization in the history of the world has resulted from some form colonialism. We're lucky to be living in a time where war in Europe seems like a complete absurdity. Prolonged peacetime in Europe is a recent phenomenon. 

Not a lana fact but the novices missed out on stellar shit. Tiny chats, leak blogs. Those were the days. 

small military action happens across the world frequently, yes for sure. 
 
but full scale invasion and assault on a sovereign nation by its neighbor, which happens to be the second most powerful military nation in the world, does not. 
 
particularly when all pretext appears to be manufactured and is only occurring because a tyrant wants to restore his country’s former greatness. 
 
There has been fighting in regions in Ukraine (Donbas, Crimea) for years, which has rarely been spoken about, it’s just that this is an all out attack and attempted takeover of entire cities which have 2-4 million people living in them. It’s just the scale of which this is happening which is making this lead to people declaring it the beginning of a new “war”
 
in my opinion that is 

I suppose, but I don't personally see Putin as a tyrannical leader whose aim is world domination. I see him as a sad man trying to reassemble the vestiges of a lost Empire. Passivity may risk further expansion into those former territories, but I don't think it'll set a precedent at large. 

The way genuine questions have to be prefaced by pleas for mercy. And that's on Gen Z running this place. 

No negativity and disrespectful language in the 10 Years of Born to Die thread thank u xx

Please do not associate hatred and harmful rhetoric of this kind with Lana Del Rey — especially on the day we celebrate Born to Die’s decade-long (and counting) legacy. 

I've arrived. I feel wholly unwelcome as an OG unbeknownst to most of you, but I want to see the up and comers.

I love that she's left mainstream social media and only posts to accounts like Honeymoon and uhauljoe, where the audience is smaller and not just passing fans. 
 
I think her "progressive" takes on issues like race are and feminism are naive and uniformed, and a part of me wants to believe this is the result of self-censorship in our society, but girl is most likely honest and just indoctrinated like the rest.

The newer work is quite lackluster. I don't know but I think it is largely due to the speed with which material is being out; four albums in four years is a lot. An artist should sit down with their work, and sit on it for even longer. I happened to listen to the previews from the Blue Banisters track list recently. Every song seemed indistinguishable from the last to me. I'll happily listen to "Put Your Lips Together" or "Gramma" over "Arcadia" and "Dealer" any day. It's funny that a laptop demo has more grit, allure and is wholly a more transportive experience in melody and lyric than any studio production of hers in the last 3 years. Lana, get back to your roots, love!
