#THIS WHOLE POST JUST CALLED ME TERMINALLY ONLINE IN A BAD WAY IM ENDING MY SHIT

[pushovermediacritic]

I'm glad this response is a lot calmer, I went on a bit of an arc in my previous post where I started mad and ended not as mad.

i expressed this by saying "im a genetic freak and im not normal" because it's a quote from a funny youtube video, not because i thought you were insulting me for something i might call myself or get called a "genetic freak" for.

MAN, am I glad I led that section with "I don't even know what you're referring to". That allowed you to easily clue in that I didn't know you were referencing a video, and you're right, I did not know that. I just thought you got really aggressive over just the use of the word "weird".

but i still think you are asking me to extend a bit much benefit of the doubt to a bunch of jokes whose punchline is "geddit, because these contemptible men don't have sex." [...] gives that joke offensive overtones that you can't erase by not intending them or even necessarily by explicitly disclaiming them.

That is a fair point. Maybe I'm not Terminally Online enough, or maybe it's the aforementioned Autism, but I genuinely did not read those jokes in that way. Even now, having read that and seeing your points, I still don't really see those implications in those jokes.

I think it's possible to say things that have subtext out-of-context, not mean that subtext, and not be in the wrong for accidentally implying such. I know that happens to me all the time in real life, I'll say something that I mean one way and someone else takes it another way and it blows up into a whole thing while I'm frantically trying to explain what I meant to defuse the situation. Maybe that's why I got so mad, it was relatable.

all that said, i do apologize for continuing to berate you for making jokes at the expense of men who don't have sex while you were trying to explain to me that that's not what you were trying to do.

I wasn't even the one making jokes, I just assumed you were ignorant of the context surrounding them. That's my bad, sorry.

Actually, hang on:

@landmoose @asmodeanmelancholia @marcmagus

You were the three people who posted those jokes OP referenced. What did you mean by them, just for the sake of clarity?

broke: many worker ants are reproductively viable; the neat division of ants into reproducing queens and nonreproducing workers is a human social construct.

woke: many worker ants are reproductively viable, but the eggs and young of these gamergates are frequently eaten by other workers, and sometimes they are punished for reproducing; the neat division of ants into reproducing queens and nonreproducing workers is socially constructed by ants

last night (june 6), a white man drove his truck into a muslim family who were taking a walk in london, ontario, canada. of the five members of the family, only a nine-year-old boy survived. his 15-year-old sister, his parents and his grandmother are all dead and authorities are pretty confident it was premeditated and the family was targeted because they were muslims. three generations of a family gone for the crime of existing while muslim in public.

violent hate crimes against muslims have been on the rise in canada, like they are around the world. it’s exhausting being muslim and seeing it day after day.

to my understanding, the little boy’s extended family is keeping his identity private and i have not come across any way to donate to him directly, but if i do, i will update this post. for now, i ask, if you have anything to spare, to please donate to the national council of canadian muslims’ assistance program for victims of islamophobia.

edit: here is an approved fundraiser for the 9-year-old boy.

fandom racism is so much harder to swallow when you're interacting with media that goes out of its way to feature characters of colour and they still get sidelined and erased

like when something revolves around predominantly white characters, you can almost like reassure yourself that the only reason the fandom is racist is because the source material doesn't give them much to work with

but when you're in a fandom that DOES have characters of colour and white people just blatantly erase them it fucking sucks so bad lol like nothing matters no matter how much progress is made, at the end of the day people see you as forgettable if you're not white

like ok sorry again to be talking about dbh on main in 2021 but like there's something incredibly depressing about the fandom of a game that is explicitly (to the point where it's often hamfisted and kind of cringey) about rising up against oppression, and that heavily features characters of colour, including 1/3 main characters, deciding their top three pairings are all white m/m pairings, including the second most popular pairing literally being a character that a) has no canonical personality or dialogue b) appears for 30 seconds at the end of like... one variation of a playthrough, and pairing him up with a cop that is also pretty insignificant in the broader game universe and who explicitly hates his kind. like yes we're going to put energy into developing this but completely ignore one of the actual lead characters who has infinite shipping potential and really interesting dynamics to explore with the characters around him but oh whoops! he happens to be black </3 but if anyone calls us out we're just gonna say his characterization isn't nuanced enough, like white robot with no personality or dialogue is somehow developed character.

and then like if we're gonna be #fandomprogressive and include a f/f ship, we're ALSO going to sideline another pretty important black character by erasing his existence so we can hook up the white character he bonds with over the course of the story with a different character who she's never met before, because again what the fuck is intersectionality, we have white lesbians so we've hit peak woke, even though if you really want a f/f ship, there are lots of other options that don't involve literally erasing a black character from his very important place in the narrative

anyway being a woc in fandom is a fucking nightmare <3

[imanes]

do you think that "influencers" and celebs should speak out about "political issues"? (putting it in brackets bc. it's clearly an understatement n not accurate but idk how to word it) re: palestine? cause i've seen a lot of people be like "yeah they shouldn't talk about it if they're not educated or if they're just doing it for the trend" (even tho at this point its been so all over social media that ppl cant use the "im not educated enough" excuse anymore) n all and i guess it's a fair point and all but also? idk when i'm on social media and i see ppl talking about what's happening in palestine, and then i scroll down and see ppl be like omg new haul uwu! vlog with my friends! and thats just so???? idk. idk what to think bc on the other hand ofc performative activism is bad ykw? (like....re: blm ppl just posting a black square on their ig....) but i don't know what to think about it and i would love to hear your thoughts!!!

inchresting question to which i have no concrete answer to provide (except a lot of ramblings) because it is a thorny subject related to the ubiquity of digital society and the social weight we give to a certain class of people who frame their existence as something that could represent us but actually doesn't at all. and everybody and their mother - including me - has an opinion on it but at the end of the day it's just an opinion, not an empirical fact to be presented, and not even one i think about a lot bc it isn't a primary concern of mine on a day to day basis. so i'm like not looking for a debate with some random tumblr user (not talking about u anon, but talking about whoever might care too much about my inconsequential opinion) bc this is a question i'm answering, not a question i'm asking so to anyone tempted to "well according to the encyclopedia of pfppspfpsp" me, make ur own post!

i guess we can start with "should influencers/celebrities/people who are famous by virtue of being well-known even exist and should we lend weight to their words?" the answer to that may vary from person to person but social media accounts with a very large following can indeed turn tides with regard to socio-political crises, such as demonstrated by bella hadid who single-handedly educated a whole generation of south-korean netizens through her posts on palestine so we can see the good effects of that. now obviously bella hadid is personally concerned by the ethnic cleansing of palestine and has a lot more at stake than say rihanna with her all lives matter bullshit statement (someone said "saudi dick must be potent" but i think it has more to do with her contract with puma who is actually on the BDS list) or even jameela jamil who has a terminal case of "everything must be about me always".

people can say whatever they want about what well-known ppl are allowed to speak about or not but i'll just remind that these "influencers" and whatnot are people and they're bound to want to talk about stuff, especially when it is relevant or when prompted by their own following, because literally everybody with an account on a social media platform expresses their opinions about smt at one point or another in time. that includes random ppl on facebook commenting under news with their stale hot takes. famous ppl or "influencers" are no different.

I'll also say that "influence" only goes so far so I'm not *particulary* concerned with whatever whoever that i don't take seriously says. let me take the queen of talking out of her ass jameela jamil as a case study for this. people who agreed with her bizarre and narcissistic takes are already bound to agree with her because people flock to opinions that are similar to theirs. in my opinion that is not influence, that is attracting similar weirdos in your sphere and consequently creating impenetrable echo chambers of idiocy. did her stale ass take become a "consensus" amongst the indecisive? i don't know for sure bc i haven't run a survey but my assumption is that people who have critical thinking skills were rightfully put off by her rancid take and called her out publicly for it, providing sources and information, which i think is visible enough for anyone 2 look through. and people who like her talk and think out of their asses were like "wow preach i've been saying!" so they are themselves inconsequential.

so in my opinion it is less about influencing - because at this point i think someone can be influenced by a single person into buying a product but your fave singer is not going to make you buy into their ideology just because they released one lukewarm-at-best statement - and more about signaling where you stand. when viola davis and idris elba (amongst many others) stated that they stood by palestine, they made it clear that they stood against apartheid and ethnic cleansing and people who already agreed on these basic principles saluted their stance. do i believe they changed anybody's mind? not really, that is the job of well-informed people such as activists disseminating information and other people sharing the info. do i think that mark ruffalo lost all credibility with his flip-flopping? absolutely, and it doesn't reflect back on palestine, it reflects badly on HIM. we're in an era where people are bombarded with so much information from all sides that one person saying something is a drop in a bucket no matter how famous they are. this is also why we say that israhell lost the PR war. we were and are too loud 2 be ignored now and a few celebrities showcasing how inane they are doesn't change anything. the famous-ppl-market is too saturated for their opinion to matter a whoooole lot. support is appreciated but not hailed as the second-coming jesus u know what i mean?

to address ur final point about finding it weird that some people flat-out ignore some stuff while you are neck-deep into it, I think it's an understandable situation to find yourself in and as subhi taha said, it just looks tacky. i think it should be your cue to just unfollow whoever doesn't align with your interest content-wise. i unfollowed a loooot of people lately because of that like I really didn't give a fuck about Michelle phan's cryptocurrency peddling (which was already yikes on principle) in the midst of real-time live-stream decolonisation and liberation struggles against apartheid and ethnic cleansing, and at this point I don't think I can go back to caring about using social media for frivolous things (except cats and memes account bc they bring me joy) and following bigger accounts that are trying 2 sell me some shit, because I've changed in the past weeks, one could say I've become more "radical" (lol) and I'm ready to sustain an online space that caters to my concerns and abandon all content that I indeed find tacky in between two posts that talk about some serious shit. it's not to say I'll never post a pic of the sunset on Instagram again or that I don't consume content that has literally nothing to do with informing myself and disseminating information on decolonisation and anti-capitalism (I literally watch study vlogs from med students to unwind lol), or that "everybody should use their account in this specific way because it's the only one that is valid" (it's not and i don't care what other ppl do) but u are obviously dissatisfied with ur feed for valid reasons and while some ppl may not share your opinion it doesn't mean that you shouldn't take steps to make ur user experience less jarring.

it's again just an *opinion*, not a to-do list or smt that i'd ever want 2 present as a "fact", at the end of the day everybody curates their online spaces the way they want to and if you find your current configuration to be distasteful, that's understandable. and everybody is entitled to believe that celebrities/influencers/glorified sellers of products and lifestyles and disorders talking or not talking about certain things can be harmful or beneficial, as there are arguments and examples for and against it and i am personally not interested in participating the debate even tho i wrote a long ass text about it akjdlkfjgd I'm sorry about this u might be regretting ever asking me this question. hope i made sense!

David Byrne: Im able to talk in a social group now not retreat into a corner

At 65, the phenomenally creative David Byrne is still rocks renaissance human. As he launches his first solo album in 14 years, he discloses why hes started collecting reasons to be cheerful

The first time David Byrne came to the Roundhouse in Camden was in 1977, when his band, Talking Heads, supported the Ramones. Both bands were deluged with phlegm, because that’s what punks thought they were meant to do then. Forty-one years later, the man, the venue and the fans have all changed. Tonight, Byrne is treating a small, respectful audience in the Roundhouse’s Sackler Space to a PowerPoint lecture called ” Reasons to be Cheerful “. Nobody spits.

Byrne came up with the idea two years ago. Obama was on his way out, Trump was on his way up, and Byrne wanted to alleviate the gloomines by collating stories of the positive developments from around the world- not grand strategies but small, pragmatic inventions that work. Seeming like a dapper academic with his sharp grey suit and shock of white mane, the 65 -year-old clicks through his slips: carbon-neutral urban development in Sweden, high-speed bus lanes in South America, an anti-corruption game show in Africa. To quote one of his famous lyrics, this ain’t no disco, but nor is it out of character. For the majority of members of their own lives, Byrne has been asking if things can be done differently.

The following afternoon, folded into the corner of a hotel lounge, I ask him if the exercise has worked. Has it built him more cheerful?

” I don’t know ,” he says.” I belief I’m a naturally cheery person so I don’t have anything to measure it against. Maybe if I didn’t do it I’d be really depressed, but I have no suggestion .” Some of his pals find this confusing.” They do sometimes ask me:’ David, you seem to be fairly happy most of the time. What’s up? What’s going on with you ?'”

Byrne chuckles. He has a selection box of giggles- simmering laughter, conspiratorial laughter, strangled whinny, lusty guffaw, something that sounds like a stifled sneeze- yet remains somewhat detached. He gazes out of the window at the rush-hour crowds, he surveys an unwanted plate of fancy cookies, he looks nowhere in particular. Very occasionally, as if by collision, he makes eye contact.” I’ve changed over the years ,” he insists.” I’m imperfect, but I communicate better. I don’t only interred things and let them explosion at some phase. I’m able to talk in a social group whereas before I would retreat into a corner .”

It makes you wonder how much Byrne would have achieved if he had been naturally sociable. In 1986, he was billed on the encompas of Time magazine as” Rock’s Renaissance Man: Vocalist, Composer, Lyricist, Guitarist, Film Director, Writer, Actor, Video Artist, Designer, Photographer .” Since then, he has liberated six solo albums; recorded with Brian Eno, St Vincent, Arcade Fire and De La Soul; scored movies, play-acts and Tv demonstrates; won an Oscar; founded the Luaka Bop record label; started an online radio station; composed an operetta about Imelda Marcos with Fatboy Slim; exhibited artwork; written books about music and cycling; written volumes of photographs and sketches; designed bike racks; became a ferry terminal into a musical instrument; and played himself on The Simpsons . Like Brian Eno, a pal and collaborator for 40 years, Byrne has parlayed stone celebrity into a life so eventful that it makes simply performing in a band seem parochial.

” There are certainly things I’ve done that weren’t as good as they could have been ,” Byrne says.” Or I’ve taken wrong turnings and there’s no setting it. But then you think, well, move on. Don’t worry about it too much. Better to keep the creative muscles moving rather than sitting and waiting for the great stuff to arrive .”

When he meets Eno, Byrne says, they often don’t talk about music at all. I suspect he wishes his interviews were more like that. Byrne is about to liberate his first solo album in 14 years, American Utopia , and Reasons to be Cheerful is a behavior to stimulate the promotional schedule more interesting.

” I tend to avoid the life story ,” he says. In place of a memoir, his 2012 volume How Music Works was a curious( in both appreciations of the word) amalgam of autobiography, anthropology and theory in which he often came across as a neutral observer of his own life.

Talking Psyches released their final album in 1988, but their influence suffers. Just last year, Selena Gomez constructed her hit, Bad Liar, all over the groove from 1977′ s Psycho Killer. In the 2016 movie 20 th Century Women , a teenage son in late-7 0s California is bullied for liking” art fags” Talking Heads instead of hardcore punk bands. Byrne detects this so hilarious that he can scarcely speak.

Byrne, bassist Tina Weymouth and drummer Chris Frantz met at the Rhode Island School of Design and formed Talking Heads in 1975; keyboardist/ guitarist Jerry Harrison joined afterwards. They were chronologically punk, but spiritually post-punk, determined to dismantle the cliches of rock’n’roll and write their own regulations.” No boulder moves or poses , no pomp or drama , no stone hair , no rock illuminates , no rehearsed stage patter ,” Byrne wrote in How Music Works . They questioned everything. What is a boulder band? What is a pop anthem? Why this? Why not that? A better name would have been How Does Music Work?

Byrne’s songwriting perspective is summed up on his new single, Everybody’s Coming to My House:” We’re merely tourists in this life/ Simply tourists but the panorama is nice .” Even when he wasn’t sing in character- a sociopath, a televangelist, a domestic terrorist- he had a knack for inducing the familiar strange and unnerving. Animals, vehicles, buildings, Tv, climate, haircuts … everything was visualized with alien eyes. It’s no surprise to learn that his one strive at writing a short story (” truly not my thing “) was science fiction.” I’m not just going to take the received technique ,” he recollects thinking when the band started.” I have to start from scratch and visualize what comes out. I reckoned there’s no regulation that says you can’t do this, so let’s try writing about something that nobody’s written about before .”

To do that, you need an unusual perspective on “the worlds”.” It ever seems entirely natural to me because it’s me ,” Byrne says with delight.” I’ve had enough people tell me that it’s not completely typical that I know, oh, OK, to some people this might seem a little odd. But then often I feel like no, I’m just giving you an objective description of what’s in front of me. What’s so odd about that ?”

The personality that spawned such unique music did not induce him easy to share a band with. A few years ago, I interviewed Tina Weymouth and she was still furious about how she supposes Byrne treated the rest of the band.” David’s a most varied kind of person ,” she told me.” He doesn’t pertain emotionally to things. You cannot guess what’s in his psyche, and what he says and what he does can be two entirely different things .” A few days after I satisfy Byrne, Chris Frantz, who is married to Weymouth, will write online that the vocalist had” humiliated, humiliated and marginalised” her.

Unresolved tension: with band members Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. Photo: Benno Friedman/ The LIFE Images Collection/ Getty Images

Does Byrne feel bad about this unresolved tension? “Um,” he winces,” she has said some wild things sometimes. I feel bad that the ending was so messy, but that tends to happen. It’s pretty hard to have an amiable divorce .” He brightens.” Although I’ve kind of managed that. We’re actually friends now .”( He entails his 17 -year wedlock to the costume designer Adelle Lutz, which ended in 2004.)” Yes it was uncomfortable ,” he continues.” I guess I probably did not behave all that well all the time. Neither did the others. It was a very messy thing. But to hold on to that seems like …” he shrugs,” well that was quite a while ago .”

Was he a hard person to understand back then?” I was probably a little bit less forthcoming. There were certainly periods when I was singularly focused on getting something accomplished .” He mentions the tour for their 1983 album Speaking in Tongues , which retraced an arc from paranoid solitude to communal ecstasy and was documented by Jonathan Demme in the film Stop Making Sense .” That was a real preoccupation. I can imagine I must at times have been a real pain in the ass to deal with. The depicts were fine but maybe the experience with me was not always pleasant .”

Even if he were to mend that bridge, Byrne would have no interest in a reunion. It’s not as if he’s creatively lonely. American Utopia features contributions from Eno, Sampha and The xx producer Rodaidh McDonald. The seeds were sown years ago, when Byrne read Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America while on tour( a very Byrne-like thing to do ).” Many of the chapter names are questions ,” he says.” You can tell he wishes America well, but he assures a lot of problems in store. He ensure it as a grand experimentation, which a lot of people did at the time. That utopian sense is still there but it’s very close to being completely extinguished .”

Byrne officially became an American in 2012. Although he has lived in the US since he was eight, he was born in Scotland and didn’t apply for dual citizenship until an awkward dialogue at a polling station.” I’d been occasionally voting before that ,” he acknowledges.” I naively thought it was legal and they never cross-checked. Then eventually they looked at my ID and said:’ You can’t vote !’ So I said OK, I’ve gotta run through this whole thing now .”

Does it make him feel any different?” If you’re going through passport control “youre starting” thinking, what if they think this means I agree with a lot of the things the US get up to? But you could say that about people here as well. They might think they’re more clever but they’re not .”

Rather than get caught up in the” political interference” of Trump, Byrne attempts out smaller, more uplifting tales. One of the modest heroes of Reasons to be Cheerful is Dale Ross, the Republican mayor of Georgetown, Texas, who broke with party creed and are used in clean energy.” That to me was tremendously inspiring ,” Byrne says.” This guy stepped out of the ring and said:’ I’ve done the math and I think this would be preferable for my city .'”

I can portrait Byrne in City Hall , commissioning analyses and introducing practical reforms. Recollecting his own bohemian youth in 70 s New York, he worries about the economic an impediment to ingenuity now.” Things were allowed to flourish ,” he says.” In a city where the rents going to go sky-high, you might need to regulate things so there’s a diversity of activities and incomes rather than closing it off and saying:’ Simply amply successful people live their lives this island. The remainder of you- call us when you’ve got more money .'”

Utopia, for Byrne, is not a particular place or system but an aspiration.” It’s more about our yearn for something better ,” he says.” We keep asking ourselves: is there another way to live or is this the only way? Did we have to end up like this or could it have been different ?”

He could be talking about his art. It’s a long way from is in favour of Ramones to writing a disco opu about Imelda Marcos, but Byrne’s philosophy has been remarkably consistent. What he cherished about punk four decades ago was the DIY aspect. “Anyone can do it,” he says.” It was very all-inclusive in that route .” He observed the same DIY spirit at the Mudd Club, the early 80 s New York hangout where you could find Byrne and Blondie, Basquiat and Warhol, Ginsberg and Burroughs.” You’ve got an idea? You’ve got something you want to try? Why not ?” He’s still asking.

Global reasons to be cheerful

By David Byrne

1. Healing the divide Georgetown is one of Texas’s most conservative suburbiums, but gets all its electricity from renewable sources. Its mayor, Dale Ross, a Republican in what is considered petroleum country, made a decision in 2015. He discounted party orthodoxy and did what was best for his constituents. That folks can imagine rationally and dismiss partisan creed, on both sides, is hugely encouraging.

2. Norway prison reform Most countries’ prison setting are failures- the rate of recidivism is abysmal. But Norway seems to have figured out a successful answer. Their captivity rate is 75 per 100,000 people, compared to 707 per 100,000 in the US. The felony rate is lower, but part of the reason it’s lower is because they focus on genuine reform , not just punishment. The rate at which inmates end up back in prison is 20% in Norway, versus 76.6% in the US. At Halden Prison there are no bars on the windows, they have full kitchens( knives included) and lots of job and vocational training. There’s even a recording studio. So whatever they’re doing, it’s working.

3. Bike sharing has defeated the world Not merely does it feel good to journey, but cycling relieves automobile congestion, it’s good for business, it doesn’t pollute, it’s healthy and it expands the mental maps of occupants … and I’ve found it’s often the fastest style to get around. Cities all over the world have adopted similar systems to the French Velib system, and now some Chinese corporations are introducing stationless systems.

4. Knock-on effects of culture We in the arts and humanities often complain that our work is undervalued, at the least to its implementation of being beneficial to civilization compared to the Stem disciplines. Finally we have some proof, and the effects are somewhat unexpected. A recent learn by the Social Impact of the Artworks Project at the University of Pennsylvania showed that when libraries and other cultural establishments are placed in the boroughs around New York, there are surprising knock-on effects :

a . strong> The children’ exam scores go up b . strong> Spousal abuse goes down c . strong> Obesity goes down d . strong> The felony rate goes down

Things that might seem to be unrelated are actually connected. To lower crime, perhaps we don’t need more prisons or stiffer sentencing; part of the answer might be to build a library.

5. Successfully dealing with drug addiction Fifteen years ago Portugal had a drug problem. Rather than declare a’ war on medications’ as the US and other places did, they took a bold and revolutionary pace, and it was hugely successful. Here’s what they did. They decriminalised all drugs and began a major health campaign. They viewed drug use and craving as a health issue , not a criminal justice issue. Last time there used to be 64,000 overdose deaths in the US. Among Portuguese adults “theres only” 30 drug- overdose demises- which is 1/50 th of the US overdose rate. Seems like they won the war on medications by not joining it. reasonstobecheerful.world

David Byrne’s new album, American Utopia , is released on 9 March by Nonesuch Record. He tours the UK in June
