More Tricks than Treats

Okay, I know I haven't been on here in a several days...life is super hectic as per usual! Anyway, here we are back with Lori for Spooky Day. I found her autonomously digging through her trash and that gave me an idea! What better day to go dumpster diving in the hopes we can find something valuable enough to pay bills!

Also, woohoo! Another wedding is in the works! And another break up it seems as well.

Just a random picture of the neighborhood from Lori's dining room. If you've followed me for a while you know how obsessed I am with looking out of the windows in every world, LOL!

Yes! We can finally afford to pay bills! We've avoided the repo man for one more week at least! I got so into the game that I literally forgot to take pictures of Lori while she dumpster diving at the Sports Bar across town. But that's okay, after all that stinky work, she deserves a little fun.

Time for another date night! Hmm...I wonder who else is at the dance club tonight?

Tom Garrett!! Didn't see that one coming! I wonder if Wanda's going to order whatever Brooks is eating? And Angela must have needed a break from the twins. I have a feeling she hires babysitters a lot!

Oh boy! Not only have the Lum twins aged up, but there's a new little bundle of joy on the way for Simili and Gerald! Gosh I'm hoping it's not another twin situation, with so many babies being born, I don't know how St Bernie will be able to house the next generation!

Oh boy...are these two next?

Isaiah seems to be having more fun than he did on the last date LOL, but Lori wants to ensure she's blowing his mind tonight...

I'd tell them to be careful, but it looks like Lori's already got that in mind...Or maybe Isaiah is really into the full parka look for romance...with these two, who knows? LOL!

Well it looks like it worked either way!

shiv and tom succession.. welcome back cathy earnshaw and edgar linton

[hoodienanami]

on March 25th 1978, British music magazine Sounds released an issue that highlighted the anti-National Front (England's fascist party that was gaining a scary amount of influence back in the late 70s) stances of several musicians who were popular with teenagers and young adults at the time. this was part of an organized effort to steer young people away from the increasingly popular far right

the infamous cover shows several musicians with a deported stamp over their faces as a reference to the National Front's desire to deport any 'non-English' people back to their 'homelands'. as you can see, most of the rockers on the cover are black or otherwise non-white but JJ Burnel (who's parents are French), Paul Simonon (who's father is Belgian), and Ari Up (who's a German immigrant) are also on the list. it's a clear warning to white readers that the National Front is everyone's problem

'The fundamental difference is that the Left are attacking a system, whereas the National Front are attacking people.' - Tom Robinson 'It's rubbish to say you can't do anything. Punk proved that. You have the power, so take it [...] You can't stand back apathetically.' - Johnny Rotten 'If they come with fire, we'll have hotter fire. If they come with water, we'll drown them [...] but the real threat comes from Margret Thatcher and the Tory party.' - Linton Kwesi Johnson

on April 30th 1978, Rock Against Racism organized a large festival to promote racial solidarity. 100,000 people joined the event and several musicians interviewed for this Sounds issue played concerts

¿De qué lado estás?

Toda historia representa al romanticismo a su manera. Mientras unos emplean la clásica historia del triángulo amoroso, otros se empeñan en mostrar el amor como la libertad del alma y el dolor del corazón, como lo hizo Wickham que mintió sobre el padre de Darcy para ganarse el aprecio de Elizabeth. Jay Gatsby invitó a cenar y a beber a Daisy Buchanan, ofreciéndole una vida que su marido Tom no podía brindarle. Catherine Earnshaw prefirió un amor mas seguro con Linton que una vida de pasión destructiva con Heathcliff. Romeo y Julieta murieron por el temar a ser separados a causa del gran amor que sentían. Incluso un hombre lobo intentó ganarse el corazón de la ingeniosa Bella Swan, pese al vampiro centenario y conquistador. Te has preguntado si amas de verdad, te has hecho la simple pregunta de que lado de la historia estas?

Crimson and clover, over and over

Our house in the middle of the street

Why did we ever meet

Started my rock n roll fantasy

Don't, don't, don't let's start

Why did we ever part?

Kickstart my rock n roll heart

[musicallisto]

Omg, wait, youre reading wuthering heights ♡♡♡♡ because i know you are (lamentably, regrettably, woefully, etc etc) aware of the current wuthering heights casting (😭😭😭😭😭 get me oUT of this fresh hell), if you could cast anyone for the roles, who? could be anyone at any time in history. who is the violent vibecheck, who are we consigning to the moors, who are we leaving to be forevermore haunted by the worst of themselves and others

okay, i am really bad at fancasts, but i'm gonna try my best!!

for heathcliffe i will have to side with a popular fancast in the person of dev patel. i just think he could pull off the dejected little meow meow into brooding insufferable house master soooo well. no thoughts just long coats open frilly shirts (tits out) walking down the cliffside in dogshit weather

cathy is trickier. i actually think kaya scodelario was a pretty solid choice for her! even though she has the slightest hint of iphone face syndrome, she does look like a bratty, impertinent only child who only wants to gallop off into the mist and thinks the world should bend to her every whim. but it has been 13 years since that adaptation, and if we want to find someone closer to catherine's age for a movie now, then maybeeee hannah dodd? the new girl who plays francesca bridgerton? i feel like the main characteristics when i imagine catherine earnshaw are that she looks beautiful, mean, and sickly lolll. although hannah is a natural blonde and her face gives me more 40s-50s period drama vibes than gothic lit, her sarah chapman in enola holmes is the vibe i would go for

as for the other characters i think edgar linton should be played by that dude who did president snow in the prequel. tom blyth? someone who's diametrically opposed to dev patel obviously. and nelly should be played by an actress who feels very Mom, even though warmth is pretty much the last thing any of these people should emit to fit into this universe. i have no ideas here but yeah mom vibes are important - she's the narrator, the person who invites the reader into the story, so she's quite literally birthing these characters.

[boredmezzosoprano]

I’m rereading Wuthering Heights and am trying to watch all the adaptations. My favourites so far are the 2009 miniseries, the 1978 miniseries and the 1970 movie with Timothy Dalton (I never really liked the one with Ralph Fiennes)! Oh Cathy, why did you betray your own heart?💔 Anyway this is roughly how I imagined the characters:

Bob Morley - Heathcliff

Daisy Edgar-Jones - Cathy Earnshaw

Jamie Campbell Bower - Edgar Linton

Alice Eve - Isabella Linton

Sam Reilly - Hindley Earnshaw

Kit Harrington - Hareton Earnshaw

Rose McIver - Catherine Linton Heathcliff

Tom Felton - Linton Heathcliff

Claire Foy - Nelly Dean

Side note: I also at times pictured Ben Whishaw as Heathcliff and I also pictured Emma Watson, Carey Mulligan and Anya Taylor-Joy as Cathy (II)

As “War Criminal, Complicit in Genocide in Gaza, Demented, Hypocrite, Hegemonic and The Scrotums Licker of the Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐖 🐗 Joe Biden” Cheers TikTok Ban, White Elephant House Embraces TikTok Influencers

The White House Brushes Off Accusations of Hypocrisy, Courting TikTok While Seeking To Ban It.

As Congress And the National Security State continue their quest to ban the TikTok social media platform in the United States, President Joe Biden has been courting TikTok influencers to help him shore up youth support for his reelection. While the administration has been publicly casting TikTok as a grave threat to American security, the White House has quietly hosted a number of influencers to pitch them on pro-Biden content.

“Don’t jump, I need you!” Biden joked to a group of TikTok influencers as he walked by the group standing on the White House balcony on his way to deliver his State of the Union speech earlier this year.

In recent months, some of the biggest TikTok users with accounts boasting millions of followers have visited the White House, visitor logs reveal. Since September alone, some of the most prominent examples include:

Jason Linton, a dad who posts wholesome content about his family and whose TikTok account @dadlifejason has 13.8 million followers.

Michael Junchaya, (who goes by “Mikey Angelo” on the handle @mrgrandeofficial, 3.5 million followers), a young entertainer who specializes in rap recap videos.

Mona Swain (@monaswain, 1.9 million followers), theater enthusiast.

Alexandra Doten, space communicator, who previously worked for NASA (going by “Astro Alexandra” @astro_alexandra, 2.3 million followers).

Andrew Townsend (going by “Papi Dre” @andrewtowns, 3.1 million followers).

Alex Pearlman (@pearlmania, 2.6 million followers), comedian.

Josh Helfgott (@joshhelfgott, 5.5 million followers), LGBTQ+ advocate.

Perhaps the biggest TikToker hobnobbing at the White House was Oneya Johnson, a viral sensation famous for his angry reaction videos (@angryreactions) boasting 27 million followers. He visited the White House on September 27. (Johnson has since deleted his account after being arrested for domestic violence.)

Each of these TikTokkers’ meetings was coordinated by White House deputy director of partnerships, Morgan MacNaughton, who herself has a background with the company. She was hired away last year from Palette, a social media talent management company that specializes in TikTok personalities. While there, MacNaughton helped found the political group “TikTok for Biden” (since renamed “Gen-Z for Change”). Many of the TikTok users who visited the White House are themselves represented by Palette.

In 2022, Palette received a $200,000 payment from the Democratic National Committee for paid media, Federal Election Commission data shows. According to the Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz, Palette was paid a retainer from the DNC to cover expenses for eight TikTok creators to travel to Washington in hopes of wooing them in the run-up to the midterm elections, resulting in an Oval Office meeting with Biden.

Anita Dunn, senior adviser to the president, told The Intercept that MacNaughton “helped to get POTUS’s message out to more audiences.”

“The reason Morgan’s position exists is because we knew the work she was capable of: discovering, ideating and leading creator talent,” Christian Tom, director of the White House’s Office of Digital Strategy, told The Intercept. “In just under a year at the White House, she has driven on many digital creator projects that have been vital to our digital strategy.”

With Biden’s reelection campaign in full swing, it would hardly be surprising that they’re meeting with influencers whose videos reach millions of Americans — were it not for the administration’s national security rhetoric about the app’s purported threat. Earlier this month, Biden raised his concerns about TikTok during a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, their first contact since November. Biden administration officials have raised hypothetical concerns about the Chinese ownership of TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance.

Public opinion on banning TikTok is sharply divided, with support tending to come from older Americans but marked opposition coming from youth. Biden’s support for the legislation has irked even some of his most ardent supporters.

“There are clearly some First Amendment concerns here and to do this in an election year seems wrong to me,” Harry Sisson told The Intercept. Sisson describes himself as a “pro-Biden content creator” and frequently uses his TikTok account (@harryjsisson, 800k followers) to advocate for the president and blast his opponents. (Sisson has himself visited the White House and is represented by Palette.)

“There are over 170 million Americans on TikTok, many of which get their news from the app, and to take that away and give Trump a talking point only hurts the Democratic Party,” Sisson said.

While White House visitor logs are only available through this past September, it is clear that TikTok influencers have continued to frequent the White House. When Biden gave his State of the Union speech in March, Sisson was one of dozens of social media influencers, including TikTok stars, invited to the White House where he spoke to his 800,000 followers during Biden’s address. The influencers sat on the White House balcony and watched as Biden headed over to the Capitol to deliver his speech.

Though the Biden administration has directly consulted on the creation of the legislation that could ban TikTok, the Biden campaign has embraced the app, creating an official account in February. The decision has drawn criticism from even some of Biden’s most stalwart allies.

“I’m a little worried about a mixed message,” Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said of the decision.

The White House, for its part, has brushed off accusations of hypocrisy, pointing to the fact that the federal ban on the use of TikTok on government devices is still in place and applies to White House officials, referring questions to the Biden campaign.

The campaign has said that it will “continue meeting voters where they are.”

Unless, of course, the app is banned.
