Kanye West and Bianca Censori's appearance on the red carpet was something out of a nightmare. If you haven't seen the clip, go look it up.

It starts with them posing, then they face each other and start to talk. Their conversation is not audible, but you can see Bianca shaking her head no and readjusting her large fur coat to cover herself. After three or four words are exchanged, she turns away from the camera and starts taking off her coat slowly. Revealing her naked shoulders, then her back, then her buttocks. She turns around to finally show off the dress she's wearing, a tight, see-through piece of nylon (designed by Kanye himself, according to a post he made on his Instagram) that leaves her breasts, genitals and ass exposed. She's essentially naked. During this whole scene, Kanye is just facing the cameras with sunglasses on, neutral expression on his face.

Now, I'm not shocked by nudity. Censori is definitely not the first celebrity to walk the red carpet wearing a very revealing outfit (and she won't be the last). What disgusts me is the scene they built around the outfit.

First, the little conversation they have. You can clearly see Bianca shaking her head no and tightening her coat around her before being made to undress. There's two possibilities here:

A) Either this wasn't rehearsed, so we essentially witnessed Bianca being pressured into undressing herself in front of dozens of cameras or;

B) It was rehearsed (the most likely option, in my opinion). But then why? Why act out this discomfort before the reveal?

Some could argue they were talking about something totally unrelated, but I very much doubt it. It's their big moment on the red carpet, in front of cameras, it's not the time to talk about the groceries.

What I think is happening is that they (but most likely Kanye) voluntarily chose to paint a scene of a woman being forced to undress herself in front of thousands for the amusement of her husband. It's essentially a brag, a show of force for Kanye. He's saying: "Look at my wife and what she'll do for me. Look what I can make her do. "

The last thing I haven't mentioned, and the scariest, is Censori's facial expression through it all. Neutral expression, no smile. Her eyebrows are trimmed downwards in a way where she looks slightly worried. And her stare is totally vacant. I've seen people say she looks drugged, dissociated, downright "stupid."

I think this is the main difference between Bianca's look and others who have worn skimpy outfits in front of the cameras. Whether it be Lady Gaga, Kendall Jenner, or Madonna, they all share something: confidence. A sultry look, a cheeky smirk, hell, at least a smile! Something to show that they feel desirable, that they're in control. That they choose to show us their bodies.

Whereas Bianca looks dead inside as she's posing.

After standing in front of the cameras for a little while, Kanye takes her hand and leads her away.

The whole sequence (no matter how much Bianca has consented to it) feels like a humiliation ritual. Kayne, standing there fully dressed, pressing his wife to expose her body to the entire world before parading her around. A gross display of chauvinist male domination on the body of a woman. Like, I don't know how else to say it, but it looks like he's walking around with his sex doll, still partially in her plastic wrapping.

Why are we seeing this? What is the point? I can't help but relate this to Elon's n*zi salute. It feels like we're witnessing more and more rich and powerful men pushing the boundaries of what is socially acceptable, trying to see how far they can go. How much of their toxic, repressive views they can share before we come for them.

My heart goes out to Bianca, I hope she's safe and happy in her marriage.

I always think it's funny whenever I post about an issue that directly affects me and someone responds with "you're an idiot that doesn't know what you're talking about" and I have to be like. Hello. This is my demographic. Do you see this label here? Guess who falls under it OH RIGHT it's me. Maybe I like. Have some amount of idea of what I'm talking about considering this is sampled directly from my life experiences. Just a thought.

It's really frustrating to see not only the narrative on the internet but the narrative on the news become "Kanye West pulled a bait and switch with the super bowl ad" like he hadn't added that swastika shirt to his website on February 7th (2 days before the super bowl.) I've now repeatedly seen both people online AND THE NEWS REPORTS repeat the straight up lie that he switched out his website during the super bowl, and it's like. Literally you are wrong. This is wrong. I was there. He had that shirt up on February 7th, the same day he announced for the second time in two years that he's a Nazi that loves Hitler. The fact that none of you were paying attention doesn't mean it isn't true. Jews knew about this. We were talking about this. You guys just weren't listening, as always. And you're not listening still, as always, and so the much more comforting belief that Kanye West pulled a bait and switch is becoming the dominant narrative, over the reality that they let him air an ad for a swastika T shirt.

Somehow I missed seeing this commercial when it aired, so I was unfortunately just made aware of it. And yes, I checked, the website he promoted goes straight to a site selling a t-shirt with a swastika named “HH-01”, and that’s the only product

I… have no words for this

Totally original idea, never been done before.

What do u think the boys would’ve done if the beatles had never taken off?

This is something I rotate in my mind *a lot*.

Ringo would have been a moderately successful drummer. He would eventually have either been snapped up by a band that got big, or been a session guy. All he wanted to do was play drums, and he was good at it.

George would have probably become an electrician. He had already done some of the apprenticeship, and afaik was doing ok at it. I don't think he had the ambition that John and Paul had for fame. He was a very good guitarist though, so maybe he would have kept up the playing in an amateur way.

John would have bummed around from job to job, finding ways to be creative, and piss off his boss. He was extremely charming, so there's some chance he would have found a rich woman (or man!) to marry. I couldn't really tell you why, but I don't see him ending up in jail, as he joked occasionally.

I adore AUs where Paul is a teacher or something, but I don't see that as a real possibility once he'd had a taste of fame. He once told Brian that he would want to be a solo artist if the Beatles didn't work out, and I think he had the drive and talent to make that happen. I think he might have been a much less interesting artist without the influence of his years with the Beatles (or am I just repeating tired tropes about him). He's never found another collaboration that suited his temperament quite as well as the Beatles, and yet he is a deeply collaborative artist who shines when he co-creates and elevates everything he works on.

So twsift namedrop Kim K's daughter and mentions Kim's death. Because of the beef that she primarily had with Kanye....

But she shouldn't be held responsible for the bad that men in her life ever do, like Matty Healy being a bigot or that godawful director she worked with or Kelce being a xenophobe and misogynist. She disgusts me.

"there's too much lore to learn to understand ttpd" then don't think about the lore? the beauty of art is we can give it our own meanings and interpretations !!!

"taylor swift is basically untouchable and no-one can criticise her" is kind of a wild take when you remember the owner of twitter just threatened to rape her and the tweet is still up

davis cup round 1 qualifiers, switzerland vs spain

spain's c team made a great account of themselves actually!!! was there much competition. no. but not one guy playing this tie had ever won a singles match for spain so this was a big deal for all of them lol.

rcb: making his davis cup debut at the age of 31! won his match in straight sets. SO happy about it, impossible not to be happy for him. (also the zendaya laugh at ferru above... i approve.)

martinez: also won in straight sets, for his first dc singles victory ever. (5 previous ties, mostly doubles.) he teared up talking about how much it meant to play the singles spot and win. "i've played tennis my whole life for this."

landaluce: giant 193cm child also making his debut via the consolation match. did not win but made it exciting, had two match points and took the supertiebreak to 16-14. one big ^_^ emoji across rfet socials, I'm Just Happy To Be Here. wait just discovered his nickname is tin tin, this is fantastic.

martinez/munar: jaume munar played exactly one previous davis cup tie, eight years ago, a singles match he lost as spain were steamrolled by serbia. so maybe he'd like to pretend this is his debut too? anyway they won in straight sets which did not surprise me at all after watching them at ao. you will be hearing more about this.

next up: qualifiers round 2 vs denmark in september aka RUNECARAZ... hopefully? stay healthy and don't fuck this up.
