irt the lrb what would you say if i said liam & noel spent new years 2023 together in paris

what would you say if i said liam bought the house in france (the one with noel's name carved into the walls) in march 2023 and that month noel talked about wanting to spend several months in paris

which could mean nothing

that period of time between south park post covid being announced in 2021 to summer 2022 when everyone got obsessed with truffula flu was moderately heavenly

[wookgerine]

hiii pentagon and ooo for the ask game? 🥰

for ooo:

my first bias: wookjin my current bias(es): wookjin, sungho, yongsoo my album and/or era ranking (or favorite of each): okay my favorites off their releases are savanna, onlyoneof you, all of line sun goddess, designer, libido, night flight, gaslighting, and of the solos begin has been my fav how i got into them: libido was actually the first kpop mv i ever saw. i saw some art of a figure skater and went to go look at the artist and they mostly drew idols and then that somehow led to me seeing a libido gifset and it must have had the mv linked because then i went to watch it and i thought it was really good and then somehow that ended up leading me to a list on tumblr of kpop songs/mvs with queer subtext and i decided to listen to them for fun and ended up making my own playlist with some of them on it. just a few days before that i had found some of skzs songs and so it all kind of unraveled from there and now you have the whole story of how i got into kp. however i didn't really pay attention to ooo until this year which member would be my best friend: i feel like i could get along with all of them really well! something i associate with them (or with a bias/any member): saying the weirdest shit ever

for ptg:

my first bias: ?                                                                                                                      my current bias(es): jinho..i think my album and/or era ranking (or favorite of each): this would be a lot of work so i’m just going to mention a few of my favorite songs. do or not (banger i was dancing to it last night), the game (unlocked something inside of me), cerberus, and this one is only hui but boy in time how i got into them: this one is way less interesting bc i have zero clue but i do know the first song i heard of theirs was critical beauty which member would be my best friend: probably another group i would get along with equally something i associate with them (or with a bias/any member): talent!!!

Heavy Metal Music Awards 2021

On this day: September 2 2021

In 2021 on this day, Sleep Token performed at the Heavy Metal Music Awards at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London, UK. They were not nominated for any awards that year but were eventually awarded Best UK Artist in 2023 and Best Album in 2024 for Take Me Back To Eden.

The setlist for this ritual was reported as:

The Night Does Not Belong to God The Offering Alkaline Sugar The Love You Want (Live Debut) Higher Blood Sport

A playlist of available videos from this night.

This event also was supposed to have a live stream but it was canceled due to wardrobe exposure from a previous band.

Additionally, from what this curator was able to find, this was the first ritual with a message during the ritual. Or in this case, opened their ritual as an intro. The first time the message below was played was at Download Pilot in June 2021. It is most well known for being captured from the Heavy Metal Music Award ritual in September of 2021.

Let's not deceive ourselves. There is a reason we are here. It follows us wherever we go. We were in love. We. Are. In. Love. It is what floats above us as we try to sleep. It is what stands beside us as we gaze into nothingness. It is drowning us. It is eating us alive. A million outstretched palms in complete darkness. They. Will. Reach. Forever. Remind me. We're both dying to find out what happens when we die. We're both scared of being. We're both stolen pieces of each other. We're both exploring our own frontiers of grief. We're both just strangers. We're both just particles. We're both so lost in what it means to be lost. We're both a house that remained unoccupied for too long. Let's not deceive ourselves.

͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏*˚⁺‧͙˚◌ . . ࣪. EMBERS was a South Korean boy group consisting of the members Inseok, Moon, Hada, Elliot, June, and Kenji under Angelico Entertainment from 2018 to 2020. They originally started as a pre-debut group known as “angelboyz” in 2017, releasing two digital singles, “Wave” and “Illusions,” as well as a physical single, “Fun Timez,” before their official debut in which they would reveal their official name to be Embers. Their debut was highly emancipated due to the success of who was heavily marketed as their “sister” group, Venus.

Embers' debut in 2018 with the mini album “Win It All” featuring the title track “LIT” was a resounding success. It not only captured the attention of international audiences but also laid the foundation for a growing domestic fanbase. Their two other releases in 2018, digital singles “Undercover” and “Killing Me”, especially gained them traction within Korea, further solidifying their global recognition. Though seemingly on the rise, Embers’ promotions would begin to dwindle in 2019, only releasing two more singles “Beautiful” and “JikJin” before they would stop making music for the rest of the year only making public appearances and releasing sparse variety content.

In 2020, the group ceased all promotions when the eldest member, Inseok, was found dead at the bottom of the Angelico parking garage stairwell. His death would be deemed a tragic accident, and the group would disband in that same year.

TW // Mentions of Sexual Assault and Murder.

After their disbandment, the once visual of the group June would disappear from the public eye, allegedly going back to Australia to live a normal life with no signs of life from him since the group’s disbandment. 

Moon would leave the idol industry for nearly five years, working as a dance teacher and choreographer until he’d redebut in Angelico’s newest boy group, Twilight, in 2024.

Hada would retire from the idol industry as well but in favor of becoming an actor. While he stayed with Angelico after Embers’ disbandment, he would eventually leave the label in 2022 when his contract expired and is now signed to Cathdrial Company as an actor and model.

Elliot would redebut the same year of the disbandment, debuting in the co-ed group Pushing Daisies who are still active to this day.

Finally, Kenji would also retire from the idol industry, going back to America and getting an education. He now lives a normal life and says he has no want or need to go back to music ever again.

Embers are very rarely ever mentioned when Angelico groups are in discussion. This is chalked up to them not making much impact during their short activity period, but Angelico often tries to pretend they never happened. Most official Embers content can only be accessed through archives, as all their official accounts were deleted in 2021. The only official remaining Embers content is their playlist on the official Angelico channel, where a majority of their variety and behind-the-scenes content has been private. The only watchable videos on the playlist are their music videos and dance practices.

Additionally, the members don’t talk about Embers. The most open member is Hada, but only after he officially left Angelico. When asked about his past as an idol, Hada revealed many of the horrors that went on during Embers.

Embers was a mess not only on the outside but also internally. Bullying was rampant in the group, the primary bullies being June and Inseok, who would target Moon and Kenji. It was revealed that Elliot didn’t really live in the dorms and only showed up when he had to, as he didn’t like most of the members. June and Inseok would physically, psychologically, and verbally abuse both Moon and Kenji up until the group’s disbandment.

Unknown to the public, Inseok did not die in a tragic accident but was instead murdered. He was killed by Angelico CEO Son Jinhwa and Rejects members Reid Kim and Aiden Yoon when his involvement in the assault of their groupmate Kubo Miyu was discovered. Though Inseok did not directly assault Miyu, he would facilitate the assault by drugging her drink. It would be revealed during the confrontation with Inseok that Miyu was not their only victim and there was a whole operation between him, June, soloist Hyunwon, and former Rejects member Sunhee. 

The murder of June would take place three days later in an Angelico practice room. Son Jinhwa, Reid Kim, and Aiden Yoon would be involved yet again though Reid would be the one to deliver the final blow that killed June. They would later get rid of his body in the wooded area behind the Angelico dorms.

Embers are often not remembered, which is exactly what Jinhwa wanted. Everything always goes according to plan.

On June 23, 2021, You Tube announced that any Pre-2017 unlisted videos will be made private on July 23, 2021. Why? BTW this is an attempt to raise awareness about an event few fans may even know took place and highlight the importance of supporting archiving projects. It's written by those directly involved - any re-blogs are appreciated. An example of a rescued vid is at the end. Security update: Why? You Tube screwed up when it first developed unlisted videos. There was a loophole. Any unlisted video that was added to a playlist would automatically be made public. Oops! June 23, 2021 was when they made a formal announcement about their efforts to rectify it. You Tube's Solution? - Blanket privatization of ALL pre-2017 unlisted videos & then apply the security update for all new unlisted videos going forward. What if you don't want your pre-2017 unlisted videos to be made private? Filling out a form telling You Tube to do nothing is one option. Great for people who don't mind filling forms to send to You Tube. Make your videos public. 🤨 or download them and reupload them then make them unlisted with the new update. 🙄 You can watch the video below for descriptions of all the options. Most not ideal. Official Video: Released June 23, 2021. You can watch it whenever if you want to, but I must say contrary to what one would expect it is a very clear explanation without too much technical jargon. However, it doesn't really explain the obvious ramifications of this.

What are the freaking Ramifications: You Tube is 18 years old. What?!?!! 😲 Yeah, I know. Any pre-2017 videos would account for more than half of You Tube's history (11 years) and therefore fandom's history on You Tube. How many fans would be aware they had a 30-day notice and could act in time? Were you even aware of this?

More Issues: More importantly, how many users with abandoned accounts with noteworthy, valuable unlisted fanvids are no longer around to fill out a form. How many "Dead Embeds" would be the result of this when the videos go private. Many prefer to Unlist and Embed on other sites. Unlisted is not the same as private. It only means the videos can't be searched and found on You Tube but is available to anyone with a link or Embed. Private basically means no longer accessible and limited to people who were emailed a link directly.

There were only 2 people in Fandom (to my knowledge) who worked on rescuing content like that. We had about 2 weeks before the July 23, 2021 deadline to archive about 11 years of Pre-2017 unlisted fanvids and ask questions later. One of those people was Morgan Dawn and the other was myself. Other archive teams did work on this but their focus was on other types of videos related gaming, political history, anime, etc. Essentially non-fandom. In a nutshell, our collaboration led to the rescue approximately 12K unlisted fan videos. 12K fanvids that would have been made private forever and unable to be seen. The Work About 50% of that total came from accounts that had never uploaded a video since 2018. The work involved required more technical knowledge & resources than we had ever used before on any prior archive projects. There were several brand-new archive techniques we developed specifically out of necessity during that intense time period. One example was renting multiple virtual machines to sift through thousands of playlists just to find a fraction of unlisted videos. There was so much at stake. What happened with the content that was archived?

To my knowledge, there isn't an Open Doors for fanvids. There is just a few dedicated individuals who may be bad at promoting their work. Let's face it, when there is a fire at a library you marshal all resources to save as many books as you can and worry about everything else later. If archiving speaks to you whether that is fanzine, oral history or fanvid related, then there are certain things you can do:

Follow this Tumblr (we will post about relevant projects here)

If you have time, ask us how you can volunteer on projects and see if what we offer works for you. You can always opt out.

Re-blog this so that maybe someone who does have time sees this.

If you don't have time support our Patreon https://patreon.com/vidding

If you don't have time or money like this post acknowledging you appreciate that this work is being done even if you can't assist in those ways.

Choose whichever options work for you if possible.

This kind of work is done by very few people and not necessarily by those you would think would do this type of work. It can fly under the radar and so can support. This is an attempt to raise awareness which sometimes we are too busy to take time to do. If support doesn't go to the right places projects like this may never have happen or may not be as successful as they could be. This Unlisted You Tube Project is a perfect example of something a lot of fans may not be aware even took place. Thank you for whatever method of support you choose. The following experience was brought to you by archiving.

The following vid is one of the 12k saved. It's a Kirk/Spock vid. You will not find this vid anywhere but here. I know. I went to the original vidder's You Tube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@xKelociraptor and they have other vids on there. Last vid uploaded 11 years ago and no contact info. You want to know the kicker? I looked at all the other vids they have available but the best one (in my opinion) is the one that was unlisted & rescued. Unlisted vids are not necessarily unfinished projects or bad takes of a final version that should not see the light of day. They can in some cases be the best vids you will never see.

back in june/july 2021 i stumbled upon a very funny playlist titled "game chimps"

i thought the videos inside said playlist were hilarious and aweosm and so i decided to save some of the videos in game chimps to my personal funny video playlist .

its december 2023 and i remember the playlist and now want to revisit that playlist to see the new videos that have been added since i last checked it, but oh noes!! i lost the damn link to it, no problem right? jus find the original creator of it right????????

so i go on to the original channel that created the playlist, wayneradiotv, only to find that it is no longer there

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh well no big deal the internet archive prolly got my back , right?

so i go on to archive.org to see if theres any archive of waynes channel during the time the playlist was public and i am met with this:

uh oh

uh oh 2

one archive, one hope at finding an archive of this holy playlist

and so i click , hoping for the best .......

damn it

the singular archive of his channel during this time is just too late somehow ????

so i think "hey i wonder if i can see when i added those videos from that playlist into mine, maybe i could find something if i narrow things down"

so i end up going onto youtube's playlist API to try and see if i could get the answers i needed

success

alright now lets see if theres anything that could point me in the right direction

nothing

not a singular result that could even allude to this playlist even existing

so i desperately go onto waynes twitter if theres maybe any mention of any sort of playlist at all

this is it, the very small amount of evidence aside from the videos that i had personally saved that hints this playlist at one point existed and i dont even know if this its mentioning the same playlist in question

there is basically nothing else for me to do at this point

theres no way for me to privately reach out to wayne regarding the playlist as his asks and pms are closed, and i dont want to go out harassing his friends that do have open asks/pms about some fucken playlist

i had considered asking in his chat about it during his next stream, but considering that people are currently anticipating hlvrai2, that would be near impossible as the chat would very likely be going too fast for anything to be readable

i am geninely distraught that this fuckign funny video playlist is now lost forever

if you have any sort of archive of this playlist, could be an html file or maybe a txt file of links to the videos that were included in the playlist , please reach out , those videos are simply too godly for me to lose forever

@wayneradiotv if you are reading this please save me , please give a desperate man a link to your funny video playlist

please

skz bias - first impressions

hi guys <33 it’s been a minute !! I had an idea that I thought would be cute , as either a thread or comments. I thought about hearing how yall first found ur bias for skz!! <33 I’m gonna tell mine below! feel free to leave urs

if you’re not a fan of skz, just tell the story of how you found ur ult bias! if you don’t have a bias in skz, tell me how you found the group :3

I remember the first time I listened to stray kids was in 2020, it was the middle of the pandemic and I had been deep into my bts phase (still am). I was trying to branch out in kpop, since the only groups I were a fan of were bts and black pink.

I was sifting through kpop playlists and came across a song called “Gods Menu” as it was late at night and 15 year old me was trying to keep the volume low. quarantine times am I right? I remember never hearing anything like stray kids before.

I stayed up all night listening to stray kids music, however ultimately I forgot about stanning them or learning the members until a few months later as I was going through a depression spell. I wouldn’t come across stray kids again until april of 2021. I still kept up, but again I didn’t know any members except for felix. however that would quickly change.

I was on vacation in april of 2021 and I’m watching some bts videos when the person that made the videos mentions someone named “bang chan.” I was like “bang chan? why does that name sound familiar.” so I looked him up and these were the first images I have ever seen of him

sure i knew he was in stray kids but i never learned all of the members until then. but chris looked so gorgeous. I had never seen anyone so handsome. I couldn’t tell you what it was but my depression spell seemed to ease away. I was watching videos of him, interviews, early videos from back in the day when he was training. he inspired me to do well in school, get back into my friends, studies, and take care of those important around me.

the thing that stood out the most for me was when he said “don’t hurt yourself.” which at that point I wanted to because of my depression, a horrible breakup, and I had been graped and SA’d that year and previous so the last thing I wanted was to be alive in those months. however, as corny as it may seem, those words stopped me from hurting myself. it took a long time to heal, but I always had it in the back of my mind.

chris inspired me to go to therapy and talk to professional help about what I was going through. I would always watch his live stream rooms and they would heal me. chris is such a wonderful human being and a beautiful individual. he saved me <33 things happen for a reason and me finding him was what healed me.

stray kids and especially chris as a whole have healed me. they hold a special place in my heart and I will always be grateful for them.

I was heartbroken when I couldn’t get to see them during their maniac tour and the last time they were in the states. however I am happy to say that after 5 years I will be seeing them in atlanta on june 10th, 2025. I can’t contain my excitement, I genuinely got emotional when I got the tickets.

chris, bang chan, chris bahng has healed me in ways I cannot explain. it’ll probably never happen, but if I ever get to meet him I would hug him and genuinely say thank you. having that comfort person is never a silly thing, because deep down that comfort person has saved you more times over. whether that be an idol, actor, celebrity, religious figure, parent, guardian, or friend. if you have that comfort and help, you are valid <33

Sunflower Vol 6

Sunflower is a sweet romantic song. It references HYGTG and Clean, reminding of her how it used to be to suggest dating again.

My Vol 1 - 5 theory

My theory on Vol 1 - 5 are times they dated or hung out. I have playlist grouped into possible volumes. There is more in the dates and timelines.

31 March 2012, 20 May 2012 - July 2012 (Everything has changed - IKYWT)

28 September 2012 - 3 January 2013 (HYGTG - NTWDT.)

25 August 2013 - November 2013 (Happily - Wonderland)

14 February 2014 - February 2015 (Style - FTDT)

February/29 April 2016 - May 2016 (High infidelity - IDWLF)

To me, Sunflower is contemplating a Vol. 6 (Fine Line/Lover). Sunflower hasn't been played since Live on Tour ended in 2021.

Lyrics

Sunflower Sunflower My eyes, want you more than a melody Let me inside Wish I could get to know you

I wanna get to know you is a reference to the Everything has changed "I just wanna know you better" which Taylor and Ed wrote the week after 20 May 2012.

Love 'I want you more than a melody' which reminds me of HYGTG “say you want me”

Sunflowers Sometimes Keep it sweet in your memory I was just tongue-tied

Wildest Dreams: "Say you’ll remember me standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe" and OOTW "I Remember.."

Harry describes Taylor as sunshine and butterflies and all things summer in many songs:

Olivia “You live in my imagination / The summertime, butterflies”

Watermelon Sugar: “summer evening”, “summer feeling”, “end of June”

Adore You: “your wonder under summer sky”

Canyon Moon: “sky never looked so blue”

They are tongue-tied in:

Two Ghosts "Tongue-tied like we've never known"

Sushi "Blue bubblegum twisted 'round your tongue"

Message in a Bottle "And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes, tongue-tied"

I don't wanna make you feel bad But I've been trying hard not to talk to you Sunflower (Sunflower, sunflower)

Taylors Gorgeous has a similar line “You should take it as a compliment / That I'm talking to everyone here but you (but you, but you)”

I couldn't want you any more Kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor I couldn't want you any more tonight (Tonight, tonight, tonight)

Lover (feat. Shawn Mendes): "We could light a bunch of candles and dance around the kitchen, baby"

Wondering headshake Tired eyes are the death of me Mouthful of toothpaste Before I got to know you

Harry brushes his teeth before performing. He met Taylor backstage at the kids choice awards, I take wondering headshake to mean acknowledging each other when they first saw each other.

I've got your face Hung up high in the gallery I love this shade (Sunflower, sunflower)

To me the picture line is not a literal gallery, but a symbol that this person is his person. I think this song and line a response to HYGTG "Remind her how it used to be, be / Yeah, with pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks, cheeks" and You are in Love and has "he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown"

Your flowers just died Plant new seeds in the melody Let me inside, I wanna get to know you

Plant new seeds in the melody is the nicest line. It is a reference to:

Clean "The drought was the very worst / When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst".

Call it what you want: "All my flowers grew back as thorns / Windows boarded up after the storm" (more thorns and roses)

Chronologically then Harry says to plant new seeds and try again.

I don't wanna make you feel bad But I've been trying hard not to act a fool Sunflower (Sunflower, sunflower)

Harry has called himself a fool many times, here he is trying to be nonchalant and cool but before he's been all kinds of fool:

I just wanna love you "We can whisper, we can talk about these things / Reconsider my foolish ramblings"

Just a little bit of your heart "I know I'm not your only / But I'll still be a fool / 'Cause I'm a fool for you"

Fools gold "But I'm not done yet / Falling for you / Fool's gold"

Boyfriends "You love a fool who knows just how to get under your skin / You, you, you still open the door" and "You feel a fool / You're back at it again"

In the Long Pond Sessions Taylor later emphasised how James had been foolish, saying fool/foolish 7 times.

Other Events During Solarpunk Aesthetic Week - Event 3 Edition

It may be Solarpunk Aesthetic Week, but we're not gonna just assume we're the only thing going on! So let's highlight a few other things that are happening this week, so they can maybe inspire some of what you do for Solarpunk Aesthetic Week!

Pollinator Week 2023 actually takes place June 17th - 23th just like our event!

"Pollinator Week is an annual celebration in support of pollinator health that was initiated and is managed by Pollinator Partnership. It is a time to raise awareness for pollinators and spread the word about what we can do to protect them. The great thing about Pollinator Week is that you can celebrate and get involved any way you like! Popular events include planting for pollinators, hosting garden tours, participating in online bee and butterfly ID workshops, and so much more."

Feel free to check their site here to learn more! Maybe make some pollinator-inspired art and take some biodiversity-boosting actions to celebrate!

Juneteenth/Juneteenth National Independence Day is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, celebrated on the anniversary of an order proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas on June 19th 1865 (two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued). You may see and hear of public readings, street fairs, cookouts, parades, and more celebrating this event in the US--especially since it was officially declared a federal holiday in 2021, meaning its an official day off from school and work for many people now.

Always, but especially on this day, consider the important role and contributions of African Americans and other Black groups have had and will continue to have on history, punk spaces, and the present and future of Solarpunk!

Summer Solstice is June 20th in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the official beginning of the summer season! This day symbolizes the zenith of the sun's position in the sky, and the longest day of the year.

We're called Solarpunks for a reason! And coinciding with this date was totally purposeful on our parts. Let the sun inspire your works--whether it be thinking up solar panel concepts, painting a sunny meadow scene, or just imbuing your work with the bright and blazing energy of our brightest star, go forth and create!

Winter Solstice is also June 20th in the Southern Hemisphere, marking the official beginning of the winter season! This day symbolizes the death and subsequent rebirth of the sun, and is the shortest day and longest night of the year.

When we visualize Solarpunk, we tend to think of bright and sunny spring and summer days, with lush green growth all around. But what would Solarpunk look like in the fall and winter? Let's start talking about it, changing up our color palettes and creating! And if it's wintertime for you right now, tell us about how you're solarpunking even in the colder months!

June 23rd is the last day of Solarpunk Aesthetic Week this summer, and it's also World Music Day, also known as Fête de la Musique! World Music Day celebrates the universal language of music. This day originated in France in 1982, aiming to encourage both amateur and professional musicians to showcase their talents in public spaces, while also providing free access to concerts and performances for the public. This observance promotes the importance of music in society and celebrates its cultural diversity.

Music often plays a major role in people's lives today, and I see it being no different in a Solarpunk future. Whether you're writing up song lyrics or making chill beats, or listening and contributing to our various collaborative Solarpunk playlists, or anything music related--let's take a moment to consider the power of music to spread messages and hope!

Is there more we're forgetting? Want to share the way you celebrate a particular event? Sound off and let us know--we'd love to hear about other related events and how you celebrate them!

DARK BRANDON VS BOND VILLAIN WANNABE MUSK – gallery & playlist by the Lone Antifa – unhinged rant by the Canuck Crank – click top photo to start slide show

“Anything can be hacked” – Elon Musk, June 15/24

Judging from myriad rants, memes, videos, and comments online, many Americans seem to have accepted the 2024 election results – and consequently, have evidently resigned themselves to four more years of deranged rule by a TREASONOUS PSYCHOPATH and his coven of DELUSIONAL MISCREANTS.

This phenomenon is bizarre, to say the least. As I write this, the full vote count has not even been finished. Some of the congressional races have not yet been decided. Most significantly, DOUBLE AGENT ORANGE may not win the popular vote – in which case, this will be yet another example of the idiotic Electoral College overturning the will of the people.

Meanwhile, corporate media keeps feeding into the 'MAGA WON' narrative, despite the fact that a lot of people have been raising serious concerns about the integrity of the election. I don't claim to provide absolute empirical proof of fraud, but too many questions need to be satisfactorily answered ASAP.

There are good, solid reasons to suspect that the election result may have been SABOTAGED by various bad actors. The perpetrators would almost certainly include tech trickster Elon Musk; couch connoisseur JD Vance; reliably devious Russian agents; unscrupulous MAGA operatives; and certain FAUX NOISE propaganda parrots.

Meanwhile, it amazes me that so many Democrats seem to have meekly fallen for the corporate media gaslighting aimed at trying to discredit these suspicions. They are being condescendingly dismissed as mere conspiracy theories – the product of something called 'BLUE-ANON', a supposed leftist equivalent of QAnon. Of course, it is indeed possible that Dems are grasping at straws as consolation.

But the documented irregularities cited by various observers are clearly legitimate red flags. A comprehensive recount and FORENSIC AUDIT are warranted, before the election results should be taken as gospel. After all, in 2021, Trumpers were allowed to file some 60 COURT CASES challenging the results. So why should the Dems just roll over and placidly accept this outcome?

While valid concerns about the election will doubtless be dismissed by cynical skeptics, as conspiratorial LIBTARD FANTASIZING motivated by wishful thinking, I maintain that there are more than enough concrete reasons to justify an immediate and thorough investigation. Most notably, a recent PLANET CRITICAL article presents a sobering scenario:

"Computer scientists and hacking experts have detailed how the USA’s election software was compromised – and the relatively simple hack which could have then been used to FIX THE RESULTS in the seven swing states. They are calling for an immediate hand recount in key precincts which, they say, should swiftly show that a number of these ballots NEVER EXISTED."

There are many other plausible scenarios that need to be explored. Some claim that ballot drop boxes were BURNED in Blue districts; that many mail-in votes were simply left uncounted; and that Dem mail-in votes were rejected in SWING STATES. Democrats were apparently purged from voter rolls in Texas, and possibly other Red states.

Most troubling: more than 50 phony BOMB THREATS, originating with Russian agents, caused evacuations at various left-leaning sites in battleground states. During the distractions of those evacuations, saboteurs could possibly have manipulated voting machines.

Despite vociferous assurances that Musk's STARLINK was not involved in some way, it is nevertheless a real possibility. Considering his tech expertise, the SPACEX CADET could have found a way to connect a satellite to vote tabulating systems, to alter the counts in swing states. Elon is also known to have retweeted Tenet Media's Russian propaganda multiple times.

He has done many other services for PRECEDENT TRUMPERY's campaign – ranging from spreading disinformation to approving DEEPFAKE ATTACK ADS. Most concerning is Joe Rogan's claim that Tesla's boy genius has an app that gave him the election results FOUR HOURS before they were officially revealed. Speaking of which: why was the alleged victory decided so quickly?

There were also evidently a record number of new VOTER REGISTRATIONS this year. Does it make sense that there were 20 million fewer people voting this year than in 2020, during a pandemic? Considering how much malfeasance has been revealed about the TRAITOR IN CHIEF since then, it beggars the imagination to think Democrats would not have turned up in droves to get rid of him.

Dems won down ballot congressional races in swing states; but mysteriously, those same voters also supposedly chose the INMATE APPRENTICE as their guy. Given the vast amount of evidence demonstrating the manifold crimes of the FELON IN CHIEF, why the actual fuck would any sane Democrat choose him over Kamala? This makes no sense whatsoever.

Further, prior to this election, MAGA agents were known to have tampered with voting system technology. The most high profile culprit was TINA PETERS, a Colorado operative who recently got a nine year sentence for a data-breach scheme.

As Rachel Maddow reported, several times at rallies Trump also told followers he didn't need anymore votes. He also stated that he and Speaker Mikey 'Moses' Johnson had a cute "LITTLE SECRET" that would guarantee they won. He promised he would divulge the secret after the election. We're still waiting, dumbass!

Of course, it is obvious that the USEFUL IDIOT IN CHIEF owes much of his "victory" to his close personal dominatrix CZAR VLADIMIR. Russian official Nikolai Patrushev recently confirmed this, asserting: "To achieve success in this election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces, to which he has corresponding obligations."

Considering the consequences of allowing an arrogant, narcissistic, SMIRKING SOCIOPATH like Elon Musk to install an adjudicated sexual predator, convicted felon, and archtraitor in the White House, with his slimy orange hands on the NUCLEAR CODES once again, it is crystal clear that drastic action is required. Thus, while some will doubtless dismiss the following scenario as naive, I offer this MODEST PROPOSAL for what it's worth.

Before he becomes a milkshake guzzling retiree, Joe Biden needs to cut the malarkey and unleash DARK BRANDON one last time. He should exercise the prerogative granted to him by the SCOTUS IMMUNITY decision, and order the FBI to conduct an immediate and thorough independent investigation of any credible allegations of election cheating.

Ideally, a detailed DOJ report on the results of the investigation should be made public before INAUGURATION DAY. But if necessary, Biden could simply order that the inauguration ceremony be postponed till the process is finished.

If there is sufficient concrete evidence that the November 5th results were indeed hijacked, then Musk, Trump, Vance, Johnson, and any other MAGA cronies that are seriously implicated in fraud, should be detained pending trial. The subsequent legal proceedings should be televised, live and unedited, to reassure a terrified world that the USA has indeed learned from the deadly mistake of the ghastly TRUMP ERROR.

Alternatively, Brandon could instead use his immunity to release all the evidence accumulated by JACK SMITH, regarding the Insurrection, the stolen classified documents, and Trump's many obstructions of justice. This would demonstrate that Joe has every reason to send Donnie to GITMO, awaiting trial for treason – and also to have dozens of Trump minions investigated for complicity. These would all definitely be legitimate "OFFICIAL ACTS" under these emergency conditions.

On the other hand, I must contemplate an even more troubling scenario: What if the election was not stolen by the MAGA GOP? This would mean that a majority of the electorate, who were motivated to get off their asses to vote, were comfortable with the idea of having their country's worst WHITE COLLAR CRIMINAL put in charge of their nation's destiny.

Thus, they were content to basically trash America's legacy of FIGHTING FASCISM; metaphorically, they casually pissed on all the graves in ARLINGTON CEMETERY. How very disgraceful – and monumentally tragic. Now emboldened, the RAPIST IN CHIEF could take a wrecking ball to the USA, to satisfy his vengeance, and suck up to Big Daddy Vladdy. If this happens, it will be a literal miracle if America survives the next four years.

By handing him the White House, these incredibly stupid voters have made it almost certain that he will NEVER FACE JUSTICE for his many documented crimes – and everything good about America will be run into the ground, by the most sickening lawbreaker in its history. But those who idolize this treacherous barbarian have nothing to gloat about. God help them if they ever have to face the truth about what they have perpetrated. We'll see who will be weeping in the end.

All that said, I still refuse to underestimate the tenacity and courage of the true patriots and "BETTER ANGELS" of the USA. So while the Yankee homeland won't be the Land Of The Free for the next several years, we will hopefully soon find out that this nation is indeed still the HOME OF THE BRAVE!

Best wishes to every one of its citizens who still treasure democracy. To them I say: Many of us living outside your borders still care deeply about what happens to you. So STAND STRONG – and please don't give up! This is no time for despair, or to wallow in disgust. It's time to get determined – and hopeful. As labor union martyr JOE HILL put it: "Don't mourn – organize!"

In conclusion: If y'all think I'm just a gullible type, over-reacting and living in a dream world, feel free to call me DON QUIXOTE – then just saddle me up, and point me to the nearest WINDMILL! But to make my case, I respectfully submit an archive of related news items, editorials, and videos, and challenge you to check them out with an open mind.

If enough American voters become sufficiently aware of the deadly serious reasons for the aforementioned concerns, it may not be too late for them to demand that Dark Brandon rescue their nation from the UNBRIDLED DEPRAVITY of Trumpism before it's too late. You'll find the archive at the link below. I urge you to share it as widely as possible.

— ROULETTE'S TITLE TRACKS

listen to the playlist!

、∘⠀ ་ ⸼ ⸒ ✴ 2021!

roulette debuted on may 14, 2021 with their single UNFORGIVEN. the song was well-regarded by critics and fans alike as a breakout debut. the music video garnered 20 million views in one week and was the most-streamed debut song out of the artists signed to BE:Ond. the song granted them two music show wins. GLITCH, released in july of 2021, was roulette's first taste to the public of how drastically their musical style could change between comebacks. while the song was praised for its production, done mostly by member jihye, some felt that the change was too abrupt for such a new group. they received no music show wins from this comeback, but the song gradually became one of their most underrated classics. the tide started to change for the group when WARNING was released that november. the song's unique and odd sounds made it a target for a lot of initial hate. people believed that warning was a sign that roulette was strictly "noise music". it became such a trend to make fun of the song for being noisy, that the song became extremely popular. the main adjective to describe the public's opinion on the song is that it's an earworm. you hear those introduction sirens in the shower, at work, during an exam, and especially at a red light. again the song didn't grant them a music show win, though they came extremely close to nearly beating out senior group nct. the group performed a mashup of UNFORGIVEN and WARNING at the MAMA awards which went viral for the girls' stage presence and live vocals.

、∘⠀ ་ ⸼ ⸒ ✴ 2022!

BAD GIRL was when the trajectory of roulette's career would change forever. before, they were known as a group with amazing production and talented members, but with songs that had a lack of replay-ability to the general public. bad girl changed all of that. the song was released in february of 2022 and was a near instant success, attracting multitude of new fans. fancams of the stages went viral, specifically ones of yasmin and mei. the song won them three music show wins and was the top streamed kpop song on spotify for two weeks. soon after in april, the girls released RISING. the song was extremely well-received internationally and gained them a lot of fans throughout the world. they only promoted the song for two weeks before announcing that they would soon release a full length album. the pre-release to their album, INSECURE was a major win for aces who enjoyed roulette's more r&b inspired tracks. it gave fans hope that the album and comeback would also be full of the same sound.

fans were livid when OH! was initially released in june. people felt trolled by the group as all of their promotional photos showed that it would be a sexy and mature concept next. in response to the backlash, mali commented on live: "our concept is to divert expectations so i'm not sure why people are so surprised at the title track, especially when we have b-sides that fit the mature mold that people wanted from us. it's a fun song. if you get it, you get it. and if you don't then you must not know us." after mali's comments and a repeated listening of the song, the public couldn't deny the musicality, skill, and endurance that it took to preform the song. the song won them two music show awards. that august, on the group's one year anniversary, they released their first english track SHOOTING STARS. the song was a massive hit on both american and korean airwaves. the girls went on a press junket in america, preforming the song on shows like good morning america and the late show with stephen colbert. the group went on to win a daesang that year for best song for BAD GIRL and another bosang for best dance performance for OH!.

、∘⠀ ་ ⸼ ⸒ ✴ 2023!

in january, BE:Ond announced that jihye would be taking a hiatus from group activities for "health reasons". aces were extremely upset at this announcement, as the label is known to put members on hiatus only for them to never return. fans were hard at work figuring out the real reason why jihye was gone, hyper-analyzing videos of her looking tired, uncomfortable, or upset. the idea that maybe BE:Ond was lying about jihye's whereabouts was silenced by the release of I'M SPICY in february which was promoted by only the four remaining members. the song was another massive hit for them, their biggest since bad girl. the music video amassed nearly 40 million views in the span of a week and a half. a lot the new fans that the song attracted were only there for ROT4 and thought that the sound of the group was better without jihye in it. ROT4 stans made it their mission to make I'M SPICY their most popular song, carrying out listening parties and tiktok challenges to gain the group the maximum amount of exposure.

ROT4 didn't last for too long though, when it was announced jihye would return for their next comeback QUEEN CARD on the group's two year anniversary in may. queen card was another domestic blockbuster, becoming their biggest hit to date. the song swept the charts and earned the group another six music wins. the girls preformed at lollapalooza that june when they teased a new song that they said wouldn't be released for months. the song in question was BAD BOY, the bad boyfriend to BAD GIRL's baddie girlfriend. the song was released in october to massive critical acclaim. aces were ecstatic that they finally got the r&b comeback of their dreams. the song earned them an additional 5 music show wins and is known as a top 3 roulette song in every aces eyes. the final release of the year was their second english track, THE DOLLS in december. the song was a success both domestically and internationally, with the girls promoting the song on both korean and american shows. the song gained a lot of traction for its styling and people recreated the signature snow suit looks with their own clothes and personal flair. the song didn't earn them any wins, which was a shock to casual and die-hard aces alike who believed the song was more popular than other songs that were being promoted at the same time. when asked if she believed THE DOLLS was a flop, cherry responded "absolutely not! i don't see wins like that as an actual mark of success. it's my favorite song we've done and a lot of those shows are kind of rigged anyways." this comment caused a lot of controversy to the group, with some people saying that roulette didn't respect their fellow artists while others agreed with cherry's statement noting that the popularity of the song worldwide was too grand to be completely ignored by music shows.
