Kylie Jenner being in the top five celebrity jet users for years is so infuriating to me she is literally talentless and contributes nothing positive to society

MBTI & Astrology Observations

🥀 1. Moon/Pluto aspects give off Ni, introverted intuition vibe. Dominant/auxiliary/tertiary Ni users may have Moon/Pluto aspects. They may indicate problems or a strong bond with their mother. Their emotions are intense. I've seen easy Moon/Pluto aspects (Trine, Sextile, Conjunction) are often INFJ, INTJ, ENFJ and ISFP.

Hard Moon/Pluto aspects have to learn to make peace with their intense feelings. One ENTJ I know personally has Moon Opposition Pluto. She has a complicated relationship with her mother and jealous tendency. ENTJs have inferior Fi so it's likely difficult for them to manage their intense feelings. They likely ignore their feelings or explode.

Another INFJ I know in real life has Moon Trine Pluto. His mother is feisty and strong. He loves and admires his mother. Women have big influence on him. He has a healing gift he may not realize in himself.

For example: Fujii Kaze (INFJ, Moon Sextile Pluto), Twice's Mina (INFJ, Moon Sextile Pluto), Madison Beer (ENFJ, Moon Sextile Pluto), Jodie Foster (INTJ, Moon Conjunction Pluto), BTS's Yoongi (INTJ, Moon Sextile Pluto), Avril Lavigne (ISFP, Moon Conjunction Pluto) The Weeknd (ISFP, Moon Conjunction Pluto), Blackpink's Jennie (ISFP, Moon Conjunction Pluto), Billie Eilish (ISFP, Moon Sextile Pluto) , Brad Pitt (ISFP, Moon Trine Pluto), Leonardo DiCaprio (ESFP, Moon Conjunction Pluto), Vanessa Hudgens (ESFP, Moon Trine Pluto)

🥀 2. The next similar indicator is Scorpio Moon for Ni/Se users. I've often seen Ni + Te/Fi users (INTJ, ENTJ, ISFP and ESFP) have this placement. Another ENTJ I know personally has Scorpio Moon. He gives off a dangerous, mysterious and suspicious aura.

My explanation for Moon/Pluto aspects and Scorpio Moon give off strong Ni - introverted intuition is because I associate Ni with Pluto, Fe & Fi with Moon & Neptune.

For example: Epik High's Tablo (INTJ, Scorpio Moon), Lady Gaga (ISFP, Scorpio Moon), Hayden Christensen (ISFP, Scorpio Moon), Avril Lavigne (ISFP, Scorpio Moon), Taylor Monsen (ISFP, Scorpio Moon), Dove Cameron (ISFP, Scorpio Moon), The Weeknd (ISFP, Scorpio Moon), Katy Perry (ISFP, Scorpio Moon), Blackpink's Jennie (ISFP, Scorpio Moon), Blackpink's Lisa (ESFP, Scorpio Moon), Lily-Rose Depp (ISFP, Scorpio Moon), Miley Cyrus (ESFP, Scorpio Moon), Kylie Jenner (ESFP, Scorpio Moon)

🥀 3. Blackpink's Lisa has Venus Trine Pluto. Kendall Jenner has Venus Conjunction Pluto. Blackpink's Jennie has Venus Square Pluto. They are known for their captivating and sexy beauty caused by Venus/Pluto aspects but how the audience feels about each of them can be totally different.

Lisa's passionate dance performances and doll-like appearance stand out in the crowd.

Kendal is the eptimote of how I envision a Venus/Pluto beauty looks like: sharp, tall, dark and mysterious.

Jennie has the most RBF, intimidating and edgy look out of the three. Her reputation is also the most polarizing.

Jennie seems to get hated the most. People mesmerize by Lisa and Kendal's beauty more while Jennie's face both attracts admirers and invokes hatred and jealousy the most. Venus/Pluto beauty generally creates strong impact on people. It's hard to forget their beauty.

It's fascinating to observe how easy and difficult aspects play out in real life. Easy Venus/Pluto aspects are more Venusian and hard Venus/Pluto aspects are more Plutonian.

Kendal is an ISTJ, Jennie is an ISFP and Lisa is an ESFP. They all have a Te/Fi axis.

🥀 4. Dove Cameron was born one day before Blackpink's Jennie and they are both ISFPs and Scorpio Moon. Their chart are almost identical (without knowing their birth time).

Woman Crush Wednesday

Pairing: (Streamer) Jungkook x (Moderator)Jennette

Synposis: The story of Jennette putting that thirsty viewer in her place.

"Hi guys," Jungkook said to his camera. He fidgeted with different files on his computer, still nervous to make eye contact with the expensive camera he had just bought. He was still new to this whole streamer business, and his public speaking ability was slowly growing as well.

He tossed his overgrown bangs away from his eyes. He read the user names of regular viewers in his stream.

Hi Jungkook! Okay upgrades

Jungkook turned to look at the new gaming engine (???) he got. He had been picking up torturous night shifts to afford this. He shyly thanked the viewer he recognized it.

Mang_Luver: Did I miss anything?

"Nope, I basically just started," Jungkook responded. His nerves calmed, knowing one of his moderators had entered the chat. He just averaged 2,000 viewers on a stream and thought one or two moderators wouldn't help.

During one of Jungkook's late nights at work, he created a list of stream ideas. So he wouldn't be staring awkwardly on the stream. He figured now would be better than any other time to look at the list.

"Okay, I have two ideas for tonight's stream. We can either do a tier list or play, would you rather? I'll create a poll, and you all can vote."

The chat spammed their opinions. It was neck and neck for either option. This was a recent trend for streamers. There was a popular 'Woman Crush Wednesday' tier list where streamers ranked their preference for an array of famous celebrity women.

Would you rather would be Jungkook eliminating or saving one object. He found this one talking about different games. He had website bookmarked on his laptop.

TIER LIST WINS --- TIER LIST WINS --- TIER LIST WINS

Mang_Luver: Oh brother

Jungkook pulled up the list. Fifteen slots with fifteen beautiful women. Rubbing his hands, he glossed at the roster. He scanned for the name of his teenage celebrity crush, IU. She was a talented singer, back in his home country. The number one spot would automatically go to her, but he quickly saw the list was of American celebrities.

"I think I'm a work my way from the bottom to the top."

Jennette watched Jungkook, her lips tucked in her mouth. She was supposed to write a paper for her American Politics class, but she was too busy watching Jungkook's stream. She discovered Jungkook's channel not too long ago, accidentally clicking his channel. The first semester of freshman year was a little rough and she welcomed any distraction from her overwhelming workload.

She couldn't put into words why she was nervous watching him do a list. She watched her other favorite streamers do the same list with the same women. It was background noise as she was folding her laundry. This time, her eyes were glued to her iPad.

She crossed her fingers and toes, hoping the unlucky lady who would claim the final spot would not be a black woman. Out of the list of fifteen, there were six black women. She hoped that Jungkook wouldn't say some off-the-wall comment about the black women and mercilessly drag them to the bottom. She hoped he was different.

"I think out of respect, I have to put Angelina Jolie at last. She's almost the age of my mom. It be weird." Jennette verbally signed. Her hand going over her chest. Worry melted away and a smile replaced it.

"Same for Beyonce. Plus she's married. I don't stand a chance." He laughed.

Canceled! Here comes the Beehive You've done it now Kiss your career goodbye

Jungkook found their teir easier than expected. Of the women on the list quite a few were married or in long-term relationships. Even though none of these women knew who he was,it was easier to place them towards of the bottom of the list. The chat was criticizing him for taking the 'easy way' out.

"Kylie Jenner, she's pretty." Jungkook contemplated now in the top five spots. The other four women he had left to choose was Zendaya, Lauren Jauregui, Tinashe, and Madison Beer.

Pretty_Mami: Hey handsome

The new viewer donated $30 to have the automated voice read out her comment. Jungkook's eyes went big. It was the biggest donation he's gotten in the stream so far.

"Thank you pretty mami." He added a hint of Spanish flair to the name. He messed with his beanie, pulling it down slightly to hide his eyes.

In typical chat fashion, they ignited at the simple interaction. Whenever Jungkook presumably spoke to a woman, the chat seemed to dissect the message. Overanalyzing body language, damn near becoming CIA agent.

Jungkook speaking spanish!! #needthat it's getting hot in here

Jungkook went back to the list dragging Kylie to the third spot. He missed the series of comments from the generous donor pretty mami.

Meanwhile, Jennette watched her comments with hawk eyes. Her assignment long forgotten as she closed the textbook. Pretty mami left a series of flirtatious messages in the chat. Some of them becoming more suggestive than the next. Jennette was glad Jungkook wasn't paying to much of attention.

Mang_Luver: Keep it cute yall

Jennette didn't think much of the message. Her job as a moderator was to keep the chat friendly and appropriate. There was no telling how old all of Jungkook's viewers were, and older chat members sometimes needed to be reminded of that.

Pretty_Mami: Jungkook are you single?

Pretty_Mami: Check your DM, handsome

The last comment catching Jungkook's attention.

"Of course." Jungkook stopped what he was doing and pulled out his phone.

OMFG OMFG mom and dad wait, no fairrrrrrr Jungkook is so feeling her Damn she's pretty asf

Steaming Jennette watched as Jungkook fed into the chat's delusions. He was just being nice. He wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary.

His thumbs fired off seemingly typing a message to her DM. Jennette was irritated, Jungkook was putting the whole steam to respond to some chick.

Mang_luver: Can't you respond to DMs later ?

Jungkook's lips smacked. "Ah. Mang is right; I'll respond off-stream."

Pretty_Mami: girl nobody really cares about this tier list.

Mang_luver: then why are you in the stream

Jennette was finding her irritation increasing, and her fingers were moving faster on the keypad. She was trying to keep it cute and not really get into a virtual altercation with a random person. However, pretty mami appeared to be in a mood to be petty. She was trying to 'son' Mang and call her a hater, words that were doing nothing to Jennette.

Pretty_Mami: I don't answer to you. You are probably some thirteen-year-old. I'm not gonna waste my time talking to a kid. Stay in your lane hun. Let grown folks be grown.

Jennette's lips smacked before her finger hovered over Pretty Mami's username. The option to ban the reckless user was tempting. Jungkook wouldn't even notice if she stopped chatting. Yeah, he wouldn't even notice.

Pretty_Mami: Not even tryna gas myself up but I have the face of Madison and the body of Kylie 💋

With awful timing, Jungkook read the chat out loud, reading the flirty comment. Jungkook blushed messily, running his fingers through his hair. Jennette was taken aback. He was really eating up the desperate attempts. She rolled her eyes at the streamer. Jungkook's fan girls continued writing flirty comments trying to mimic pretty mami.

Tapping on her last nerve, pretty mami tagged Jennette in a snark comment. Not even letting the user get the gratification of allowing other viewers to read her comment, Jennette clicked the the ban button.

"Ha!" She stood up. She folded her arms, watching as her previous comment disappeared.

"Don't have to hear her mouth."

The most-liked video in TikTok history shows a dark-haired woman making funny faces to her front-facing camera as she lip-syncs to a popular song. It’s held its position since 2020, but recently it’s encountered competition from another video, featuring … a dark-haired woman making funny faces to her front-facing camera as she lip-syncs to a popular song.

Australian influencer Leah Halton posted her simple, short video set to YG Marley’s “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” on February 5, nearly four years after the front-runner it’s trying to take down. Initially, it got a few million likes���not bad, but small potatoes by the standards of a platform with well over a billion monthly active users. Still, because TikTok’s algorithm doesn’t care how old a video is, it began to catch on, and soon its popularity skyrocketed. Over the month of April, it went from approximately 12 million likes to more than 49 million, making it one of the most popular videos in the app’s history.

Keeping track of the video’s growth is easy: Just look closely at its comment section. TikTok users have spent months posting its current metrics multiple times a day, comparing it to other popular videos as it makes its way up the list and exhorting people to spread it around so it can eventually become the most-liked TikTok ever.

At the moment, that goal seems unlikely. Since that enormous leap in April, growth has slowed, and as of July 1 it has gotten fewer than 3 million likes in the past two months. Those are still impressive numbers, but the current record-holder, a video by Bella Poarch, went from 64 million likes to 66 million likes in that same time frame, more than enough to keep her video at the top.

Poarch, an influencer and singer, set the record in 2020 with a video which has many similarities to Halton’s, from the hair and makeup style to the short, satisfying, and easy-to-mimic movements. At the time, Vox journalist Rebecca Jennings called the popularity of Poarch’s video “inexplicable,” but the success of her video and Halton’s—and the similarities between them both—provide indicators of what it takes to achieve virality on TikTok's somewhat abstruse platform. Jennings concluded that “young people centering their conventional attractiveness in easily repeatable formats” was “the logical endpoint” of TikTok. Unfortunately for Halton, once you’ve reached the end, there’s nowhere further to go, and once the novelty has worn off she’ll have to settle for the silver medal.

It’s a little odd to apply the logic of a race to the popularity of two very similar videos. Poarch and Halton (neither of whom responded to requests for comment) haven’t treated it as a rivalry, but in the comment sections of both videos, there’s a loose but fiercely devoted community formed around getting Halton’s video past Poarch’s. “Anyone here on July 1st?” read comments on Halton’s clip in at least six languages, each with a line of users replying “me!” “REMIND ME WHEN THIS HITS 67M!” says a user on Poarch’s video.

It would be easy to put this down to stan armies—established fans of these creators, clashing over the video in a kind of proxy war to glorify their community—but it’s not along such rigid lines. “Whenever there’s a way to quantify popularity online, there’s a group mentality that emerges,” says Kat Tenbarge, a reporter for NBC News who covers internet culture. “It’s something to be a part of.”

Indeed, this isn’t the first time a relatively innocuous post has become the most popular on a platform. In January 2019, an Instagram post with a stock photo of an egg received over 45 million likes in less than two weeks. It shattered Kylie Jenner’s record for the most-liked post in Instagram’s history thanks to a campaign from thousands of users sharing hashtags like #EggGang and #EggSoldiers.

WIRED deemed the egg “the last of a dying breed,” predicting that popularity campaigns from ordinary users, rather than professional influencers or brands, would get less and less traction “as social networks mature and develop more stringent business models.” Just two months later, in a milestone for corporate social media, the Indian music conglomerate T-Series definitively beat the streamer PewDiePie to become YouTube’s most-subscribed channel, despite a campaign from PewDiePie’s fans involving everything from hacking printers to marching in the streets.

Simply put, since viral popularity can be directly translated into money, there’s much less opportunity for it to happen for free. “Mainstream social media platforms have been solidified as global community spaces with outsized cultural impact,” says Tenbarge. “There’s clear value in dominating the metrics on these platforms, which creates an incentive for people to invest their time and care in such accomplishments, even if they don’t personally benefit from it.” Halton has an actual financial investment in her engagement numbers, but the campaign to boost them has already given the more casual users who started it what they wanted: a sense of community.

Beyond that, there’s the issue of how ephemeral TikTok can be. The algorithm that powers the app’s For You page is so good at finding engaging content that China has passed laws against selling it to potential US buyers, who are seeking to purchase the app after lawmakers passed legislation in April forcing its parent company ByteDance to divest from owning it or face a ban in America. The flip side of that algorithm’s power and intensity is that it blocks the more direct and organic forms of community that were the initial appeal of social networks to begin with.

With vanishingly few exceptions, every product, community, or figure with popularity credited to TikTok needs to establish a presence outside of the app to stick around and stay popular, or the relentless algorithm will drive it off people’s feeds. Stanley Quencher water bottles had huge success last year credited to the app, but this was years after they first took off thanks to a prominent review blog. Abigail Barlow, whose Bridgerton fan musical written on TikTok won a Grammy in 2022, had already released a successful single in 2020.

Poarch presumably understood this, quickly parlaying her proverbial 15 minutes of TikTok fame into a line of merchandise, a music career, and more. Halton is already following suit with a reality show appearance. Despite this, Halton’s video will never be able to catch up to Poarch’s without some major element outside TikTok, because it’s just that: a video. Unlike its creator, it can’t transcend the app.

For Halton’s video to break the record, there would need to be some massive, directed interest beyond the shallow sensory appeal that got the video so popular in the first place, which is next to impossible given how much emphasis TikTok places on algorithmic feeds over searching for specific content. The commenters on Halton’s video, who dutifully boost the clip and keep track of the numbers every day, are swimming against the currents that carry every single TikTok to their feeds.

With TikTok reportedly developing a new version of its algorithm to skirt the ban in the US, it’s worth keeping track of how that algorithm shapes what users see, especially how hard it is to work against. The thousands of comments keeping track of the most-liked videos on the platform show that people don’t always just want what the algorithm gives them, and the fact that they come back every day shows they want something that stays in their lives longer than the next swipe up.

(all times are in AEDT) (i apologise in advance if there any errors in summation, quotation or image descriptions)

A FORMER POST THAT MAY BE RELEVANT ON POC IN RIPTIDE (JUNE 30TH 2022)

Captain Lizzie (Riptide)

@ / notferinweII on Twitter Feb 1st 8:07AM READ HERE

as a black lesbian this stinksss

“people will tell me, the creator of the character, that im wrong” the same guy who “never meant to imply Lizzie was POC” the same guy who compared her skin tone to kylie jenner AND rihanna (rihanna who is a black woman herself) , said she was a pale white pirate woman but also

has olive skin but also has tanned skin but also grew up pale blonde hair that darkened in the sun throughout her time on the black rose pirate ship . a very long and insightful thread about the lack of poc characters in jrwi was posted in JUNE with the singular black npc

being announced on november 13 2022 for episode EIGHTY SEVEN of riptide . on the same day , you wrote a post about wanting us the viewers feel comfortable , REPRESENTED , and respected . lizzie’s skin colour absolutely changes her character because she could be strong WOC rep .

now lesbian lizzie has been a very strong headcanon throughout the community for a very long time (i’m going to ignore pistolwhip’s influence for a second this is just about lizzie) due to the extreme lack of lesbian or even sapphic rep in jrwi as an entire podcast .

you yourself stated you want all to feel represented in your campaign . and yet whenever you’re asked about lizzie’s sexuality you brush it off and say “it doesn’t matter” maybe to You but it very much matters to lesbian jrwitwt who are often left grasping at crumbs and battling

intense lesbiphobia (not lesbophobia 😉🥂) from the community in general . a canonical lesbian would be big for lesbian fans !! we love and adore lizzie as a character and we would love to see really ANYTHING about her canonized but it’s always silence .

now back to pistolwhip . i can understand the resistance to making them canon as it could take away from the action of the story (im really trying to see the other side here i’m trying) however the way you constantly dismiss the ship

but still milking fans for fan service… what happened to "u guys dont want pistolwhip" when lizzie called jay sunshine. or when lizzie winked at jay and told her to "be safe"? the way you constantly insists that "you guys dont want this to happen" while simultaneously egging

fans on is tiring for all involved TLDR : canonize lizzie’s skin tone and stick to it . if she’s white , say it. the lack of canonization while being upset fans “take the character and say i’m wrong” is a weird thing to get angry about considering little about lizzie is canon

Quoted in full:

representation that is left up to interpretation is not representation. you are asking the viewer to imagine the representation is there, without actually committing to including it yourself. be better.

Disability

@jayferins Feb 4th 11:20AM READ HERE

An anon asks about what Grizzly had said about a disabled character in PD, also adding in their own notes about Drey's disability. To summise their notes: it's surprising Drey is the only disabled character in Riptide; his diability is primarily a punchline for jokes; Drey is treated as being unfit to fight due to his disability, which can easily be remedied in fantasy through use of mobility aids that can also be altered to make for cool magical weapons. I myself would like to note that Chip has a prosthetic finger, which makes this choice even more strange.

To summise the response: meeting a former villain who's now a wheelchair user, the characters ask what happened; Dakota (played by Grizzly) reacted extremely poorly and said to their face they, "deserved it," and that, "you had it coming, karmas a bitch," in reference to being disabled; being disabled is not a punishment or a sin, it's just something that occurs, and this mindset is a bad one to have; Grizzly defended the decision to play the character this way when he recieved criticism about it.

Neurodivergency

@jayferins Feb 4th 5:21AM READ HERE

An anon comments, to summise: the amount of jokes made about schizophrenia and the psychotic comments aren't it; the way they treated Vyncent's character with the Greats wasn't that great; the jokes are treated like nothing which is frustrating knowing the amount of harm perpetuated stigmas cause.

@colestyle Feb 4th 5:30AM READ HERE

To summise: there's good moments with the plurality in PD but others that aren't to point of op skipping them; Dakota (played by Grizzly) made jokes that were especially bad; despite the plot relevance it's still irking, and it's upsetting how it just goes away by the end of S1.

@herethereverywhere Feb 4th 5:52 AM READ HERE

To summise: op watched PD aware of Vyncent being plural and anticipating it, only to be upset by stereotypes of people with dissociative disorders being reinforced, and psychotic disorders being casually demonized; expectations weren't high but still not met; op reasonably states, "i cant say that i trust this show with these topics going forward unless the boys demonstrate an sensitivity that i have thus far not been privy to".

General Comments

@swordswaltz Feb 4th 2:28AM READ HERE

Insight that I feel should be quoted in full based on my own agreement and consensus amongst other users too:

i might have missed something but i'm just so unsurprised by jrwi's (mainly grizz's) lack of response to the lizzie thing. charlie and bizly have both made apologies for things that i think were considerate and they actually changed, but i feel like grizz and condi just kind of don't learn. grizzly's conveniently timed deleting of his questions page just adds to the feeling like, to him, it's not about actually growing and more about avoiding "being cancelled" i could be wrong (i hope i'm wrong) but past actions and words are usually indicative of future actions and words. i've had this small, growing frustration with jrwi the past maybe four months which sucks because i love this show. i do. i just want them to Improve. i feel like there's a lot of talk of improving and not a lot of progress.

I have already gotten worn out so sorry I haven't included more, but if you have any other comments or relevant posts feel free to add on.

[silvyysthings]

Hi Silvy. Perhaps this is what sparked someone’s reaction to an engagement announcement:

https://twitter.com/topones_media/status/1707837157618905390

A friend of mine just shared an Instagram post from a different “source” (read: bot account) with the exact same wording as this Twitter one and asked how I was feeling about the tragic news. I recall seeing a couple others under Timothée’s Twitter tag, however I cannot be bothered to weed through my block list. 

Honestly, I hate all these bots just pumping out shit on all platforms - announcements of dating/engagement, breakup, new movie/show, etc. whether true or not. It’s old-fashioned National Enquirer junk articles on steroids disseminated daily through bots. Makes bot follows and likes look annoyingly quaint.

Any of you ever notice when there’s big response about Timothée and K that suddenly Tumblr has 10-20 bot accounts pushing information about them? The latest are the accounts ending “-polycom” with the headline “Real reason Kylie Jenner’s kids haven’t met Timothée Chalamet yet – and Kylie’s secret fear over his family”. Same posts were circulating on Twitter a day or two ago. A few days ago it was accounts ending “-mag” with the headline “Kylie Jenner Wears a Ring While Holding Hands With Timothée Chalamet”. And then a week or two ago it was accounts ending in “-mag” with “Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet Are ‘Not Official Yet’ (Source)”.

Short story long:  (1) Many people do not read past many headlines and (2) Platforms dependent upon advertising revenue for income are a problem because driving people to an advertisement-filled destination requires users to click links in which platforms utilize the enragement equals engagement rule.

Apologies for my lengthy contribution. Have a great weekend! ✌️ 

People aren't capable to make their own researches

Kylie Jenner Under Fire for Listening to Unreleased Tory Lanez Song in TikTok Video

Denver Sean

Kylie Jenner decided to play on of Tory Lanez’s unreleased songs for background music in her latest TikTok — and people aren’t happy.

via Complex:

On Friday, Jenner took to her TikTok page with a video of herself sitting in a car with a filter that altered her face to look like a cartoonish man. Over the video, the Toronto singer’s unreleased song “Hurts Me” can be heard.

Several TikTok users have used the filter and song choice as part of a “jumpscare” trend due to the jarring nature of the filter. Despite its popularity, some are criticizing the 25-year-old for taking part in the trend.

Jenner also posted a now-deleted TikTok of her vibing to the song without the filter.

The reason for the criticism stems from Jenner being tied to the shooting incident between Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion. Many feel that because the events leading up to the incident allegedly started at her place, Jenner should’ve been more mindful of her song choice. 

Fans reacted to the song choice, believing it to be intentional.

Jenner had remained neutral throughout the whole saga between Megan and Tory, which had people believe she was finally choosing sides when posting the TikTok. She did appear in the video for Megan and Cardi B’s “WAP” when it was released in 2020. 

The shooting incident occurred after Tory, Megan, and friends were hanging out at Jenner’s place, and attorneys during the trial suggested that Lanez was trying to make a move on Jenner that night. Megan reportedly became upset with Tory trying to flirt with Jenner, which led to her leaving the party early. 

Tory allegedly stayed behind, but Meg and her former friend Kelsey Nicole came back to get him. Prosecutors argued that Tory Lanez shot Megan in her feet, which a jury found to be accurate and led to the rapper being convicted on felony gun and assault charges in December 2022. 

See the controversial clip below.

5 Half-Baked Predictions about Threads 🪡

🧵 Threads = Google+ It will probably last longer than Google’s foray into a true social network, but Threads is skyrocketing because it’s already building off other Meta products. And, much like Google did, look for Threads to be integrated into everything else Meta: WhatsApp, Oculus, their idea of the metaverse, even the Facebook app itself. 🧵Threads is the savior of Meta’s ad business Meta has lost massive troves of user data due to ad blockers, privacy sandboxes, and iOS App Tracking Transparency. They need more signals, coming in with more velocity. Nothing moves faster than a microblogging network, and Twitter (before acquisition) was making ~10% of their revenue off data licensing. More data = better ad targeting. New platform = new ad units and packages to sell. 🧵 Threads will also save Instagram Kylie Jenner-gate already told us that users (and especially influencers) want Instagram to be the place for photos, not so much Reels. TikTok already has short vertical video boxed out so well, and with Twitter becoming…whatever it is, users were already using Instagram more for *text* than ever before. Threads lets everyone get along: Instagram stays focused on photos, and celeb or influencer “I’m sorry you feel that way” confessions go on Threads, rather than posting screenshots of a Notes app page. 🧵 Threads will NOT put Meta in jeopardy with the FTC The FTC has been giving Meta the side-eye for a long time, mainly for user data privacy and anticompetitive practices. Cloning another social network *would* have been a bad move in this environment, *if* the network you were copying wasn’t already owned by another FTC pariah: Elon Musk. 🧵 Threads = Fediverse “Big Bang” You’ve been sleeping on the fediverse. You’ve vaguely heard about Mastodon or PixelFed, and possibly the ActivityPub protocol. It’s time to dive in and go deep: Threads at least *will* be part of the fediverse, and is arguably already its biggest network. (More here: https://help.instagram.com/169559812696339)

Schiaparelli's Couture Show Sparks Debate Over Use of Animal Heads It started with Kylie Jenner, who arrived fashionably late and walked to her front row seat at the Schiaparelli wearing a black column gown affixed with a very real-looking lion head on her right shoulder.The lion on her outfit, taken directly from the same look Irina Shayk would wear on the runway, was embroidered in hand sculpted foam, wool and silk faux fur, and hand-painted to look as life-like as possible, according to the brand. Related | Daniel Roseberry Explains That Schiaparelli Trash Bag Dress"NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN MAKING THIS LOOK," Schiaparelli noted on its Instagram, perhaps anticipating potential backlash from users who could see these looks as glamorizing poaching or supportive of trophy hunting. \u201cthe making of the Schiaparelli ss23 animal embroidery:\u201d — e. (@e.) 1674479874 The lion wasn't the only beast on the runway. Supermodels Naomi Campbell and Shalom Harlow's outfits featured a gray wolf and snow leopard, respectively. The trio of animals used to represent lust, pride, and avarice from Dante’s Inferno allegory. But the reference seemed to be lost on many users, many of whom cited the show's potentially harmful consequences. "How do you not get it?! Maybe making these looks didn’t harm animals but showing them will definitely have consequences that will. This looks like glorifying and normalising poaching and trophy hunting these great animals," one user wrote.Fellow supermodel Christie Brinkely also wasn't impressed. "It’s sickening to see the images of these endangered animals in the form of pelts! It looks as though the models picked up the cruel hunters carpet and severed head wrapped them around themselves to be viewed as a stylish thing of beauty," she commented on the brand's Instagram.

Long gone are the days when fan fiction was treated as a guilty pleasure, exclusively consumed on a glowing iPad screen under the covers at night and never to be discussed outside of Tumblr. We’re living in an age where Supernatural star Misha Collins boasts about Dean/Castiel fanfic stats on Twitter, a Harry Styles fanfic on Wattpad has been adapted into a major movie franchise, and even Academy Award–winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao openly admits to writing fan fiction. The hobby has become a cultural phenomenon, referenced casually in shows like Euphoria, Only Murders in the Building, 13 Reasons Why, and Bob’s Burgers. And who could forget Archive of Our Own (more widely known as AO3) snagging that Hugo Award in 2019?

Born in 2009, AO3 is one of the biggest fan fiction sites today. It’s an open source, multi-fandom archive for transformative fanworks that, as of January 2023, is home to approximately 10.5 million works across over 55,000 fandoms, ranging from big names like Stranger Things and Marvel to the most niche corners of the internet you could imagine. AO3 is pretty much a household name now, at least for any Gen Z or millennial with some degree of online presence. And as fan fiction has become more mainstream, there’s also seemingly been a push by some users for AO3 to keep up technologically. More specifically, for the archive to function … well, more like TikTok. Picture a “for you” page greeting you as you log in to the archive. It automatically recommends your next fanfic to read, like an oh-so-helpful friend plucking a book off the shelf for you that they just know you’ll love.

Let’s be clear though: This idea isn’t going to see the light of day. “An algorithm is never going to happen,” Claudia Rebaza, a volunteer for AO3’s parent group, the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW), tells me outright. But the debate about whether AO3 should have an algorithm reveals what’s special about fan fiction and the importance of maintaining a space where creative works can just exist.

I get it. As someone born in 1997, it’s hard to remember a time before algorithms, rankings, and personalized recommendations. It feels like every place on the internet is trying to become more like TikTok, from Instagram with its Reels (until Kylie Jenner complained) to Twitter’s “for you” feed. For better or worse, the world today feels deeply online. When nearly every aspect of our lives feels optimized, it makes sense that some want fan fiction to keep up with the times too. 

But here’s the thing: AO3 isn’t social media. It’s simply a space that hosts an enormous collection of works. It’s basically a library on your phone. Being a nonprofit run entirely by volunteers distinguishes AO3 from other fan fiction sites like Wattpad, which is an entertainment company. “AO3 is designed to be an archive, not a social media site, and we’re a nonprofit that will also never run ads,” explains Rebaza. “So we’re not trying to make people spend more time on the site or make anything go viral.” 

Another aspect that sets the archive apart is its lax content policy. While the site still draws the line at some content—explicit material of real minors, flat-out plagiarism—nearly all fanworks are allowed. The only major requirement is that users must tag works containing rape/non-con, graphic violence, major character death, or underage content (alternatively, authors can simply tag “Creator Chose Not to Archive Warnings”). But as long as it’s properly tagged, it’s probably permitted “no matter how awful, repugnant, or badly spelled we may personally find that Content to be,” per the site’s terms of services.

It’s a policy that has been both praised and criticized. But one of the reasons for AO3’s hands-off philosophy is that fan fiction has historically faced a great deal of opposition and censorship. For instance, Fanfiction.net (FF.net), one of the first major fanfic sites on the web, banned all works based on anything by Interview with the Vampire author Anne Rice after she reportedly threatened legal action. (The law as it pertains to fan fiction is murky, but OTW believes nonprofit, transformative works fall under “fair use.”) In 2002, FF.net began implementing a strict “no NC-17 content” policy. Then in 2012, the site famously deleted a large number of stories, presumably ones deemed too mature. The move was widely coined the FF.Net purge by fans, and it sparked concerns about potentially disproportionately affecting authors of slash (same-gender pairing fics).

AO3 is one of the few remaining places on the internet where you alone are responsible for curating the content you consume. You’re armed with only a search bar and the use of tags and filters, sent out into the Forbidden Forest to find whatever your heart desires. And sure, that may feel like a daunting task, especially if you’re used to the likes of TikTok. But part of the beauty of it being algorithmless is that you can hand-pick the works you’re looking for and also easily avoid content you don’t want to see. If AO3 were to implement an algorithm, it’s highly likely you would encounter a lot more content you would have otherwise filtered out, scrolled past, or simply just been blissfully unaware of.

An AO3 algorithm could present a problem not just for readers, but for creators as well. Harassment has long been an issue in fandom, but it feels more intense and intimate in the social media age. In the early 2000s, ship wars and heated discourse mostly lived within the confines of forums, under usernames that nobody would care enough about to track down. Now? Not so much. Hollie, a moderator for the 329,000-member group r/fanfiction on Reddit, tells me how she’s seen things change over the 15 years she’s been involved with fandom. “Fandom has become more clustered into a smaller number of spaces, rather than being able to easily separate into different groups. [So] people with very different interests and takes overlap,” she says. “Don’t get me wrong, there were ‘sporking’ (mocking fics) sites back in the day, as well as bullying and ship wars, but for the most part, people complained in their own groups about how terrible their rival ship was or how gross they found certain kinks or whatever. They didn’t usually go to the creators/shippers’ social media and fics to complain at them.” (Plus, if your fandom self is even slightly intertwined with your public persona, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that you will at some point be harassed, threatened, or even doxxed over fictional characters.)

An algorithm would only further knock down these walls. If someone really dislikes a ship or trope for whatever reason, one might assume they would go out of their way to avoid such content by using tags and filters, or simply interact only with fans who have similar taste. But if the algorithm shows people something they hate, they might feel more inclined to engage with that content and go out of their way to make it known just how much they hate it. 

There’s something quietly beautiful about AO3 not making it easy for us to snap our fingers and have a personalized story recommendation fall into our laps. I’d liken browsing the archive to wandering into a bookstore, picking a novel off the shelf, and being pleasantly surprised by how good it is. Sure, you might head to a genre you know you enjoy or gravitate toward a familiar author or friend’s recommendation. But when it comes down to it, you picked the book. Maybe an algorithm would have found a story you liked just as much, maybe not. 

Algorithms and modern technology can be convenient for discovering new content and tailoring things to your personal taste, but they can also impose their own limits. Sure, streaming is great—but are we really taking advantage of this infinite amount of content if all we see is Netflix’s top 10 and Recommended for You tab? Or are we perhaps missing out on shows we would have enjoyed, if only we’d known about them before they were canceled after one season due to (supposedly) low viewership? Is the skill-based matchmaking algorithm used in multiplayer online games like Call of Duty actually helping us enjoy gameplay more? Or is it ruining video games altogether?

If you’re on TikTok, you’ve likely experienced seeing a video on your “for you” page that you never would have clicked on yourself. Sometimes it’s merely annoying (no, I’m really not into watching people eat that Pink Sauce); other times, it can be outright distressing. For instance, if you’re into cute cats, the algorithm might think you actually want to see a viral video mocking domestic abuse. Algorithms often lack the ability to distinguish tone, and they generally don’t account for triggers or content warnings. It’s like shelving Stephen King’s It in children’s fiction just because the characters are kids.

Safety and practicality issues aside, an algorithm would ultimately just plain suck the fun out of AO3. I don’t want to see only the biggest, most popular content. I want to live in the corner of my little niche fandom, enjoying whatever weird things I like regardless of how many views, kudos, or comments are involved. In a world dominated by algorithms, stats, and virality, let me have my fan fiction.

Gal Gadot, Kylie Jenner, Mark Ruffalo: Israel-Palestine war leaves celebrities divided

Several Hollywood stars, athletes and singers face a backlash for supporting Israel, while others are praised for their nuanced take on the conflict

Celebrities including Hollywood A-listers, influencers, and pop stars have been giving their opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after fighters from the besieged Gaza Strip shocked Israel with their unprecedented land, air and sea assault on Saturday.

Influencer and fashion mogul Kylie Jenner found herself at the centre of a social media storm when she shared a now-deleted post expressing support for Israel.

The Instagram post featured the Israeli flag alongside the message: "Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel." 

Jenner's stance drew widespread criticism.

Many questioned her understanding of Israel's 75-year occupation of the Palestinian territories. 

One social media user wrote: "Kylie Jenner wouldn't know where the Middle East is on a map but is letting her 400 million Instagram followers know she stands with Israel."

Israeli actress and star of Wonder Woman Gal Gadot, who has previously shown support for the Israeli army, was also criticised for her response to the latest bout of violence. 

"I stand with Israel you should too," Gadot posted on Instagram.

"The world cannot sit on the fence when these horrific acts of terror are happening," she said. "My heart is aching. Praying for all of those in pain."

Gadot's comment section has since been flooded with users writing "Free Palestine" and messages featuring the Palestinian flag emoji.

Comedian Sarah Silverman expressed her concern for her sister, nieces and nephews, who have been protesting against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial judicial reform plans for months. 

"Fight for a two state solution. Israelis are Jews and Arabs and all colours," she said.

Silverman also acknowledged the nuanced complexity of the conflict before denouncing Hamas' mission statement.

Mark Ruffalo, who has played the Hulk in several Marvel blockbuster films including The Avengers franchise, was also criticised for blaming both sides for the latest escalation.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, the usually pro-Palestine actor shared a message from journalist and author Nathan Thrall, which said: "It is horrific to see innocent civilians killed and held hostage, and there is no justification for it.

"We pray for their safety, as we pray for the safety of the innocent people of Gaza who are being bombarded and besieged."

Professional boxer and model Younes Bendjima criticised the idea of blaming both sides for the fighting, writing: "I'd love to but I can't... there's only one side."

He went on to highlight the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands, restrictions on movement, the discriminatory treatment of Palestinians at checkpoints, and the presence of Israeli snipers in the occupied territories.

Bendjima also emphasised the disparity in international support, noting that Palestinians don't enjoy the backing of the United States.

He also drew attention to the constant presence of Israeli warplanes in the region, which fly over the Palestinian territories making, he said, "kids wet their beds in fear".

Former New Zealand rugby international player Sonny Bill Williams posted: "Praying for Gaza!" accompanied with a Palestinian flag.

Meanwhile, US Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad shared a quote from Malcolm X which read: "If you are not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing."

However, Arsenal and Ukrainian full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko found himself mired in controversy when he reposted an image from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs featuring the Star of David.

Alongside the image, his story read: 'I stand with Israel.' 

But after he was met with a fierce backlash from his own fans, Zinchenko removed the comments and made his account private.

'When you hurt children, your cause is doomed'

Singers also weighed in with mixed reactions to the conflict.

Swedish singer Zara Larsson drew attention to what she perceived as a double standard in international reactions to conflicts, posting on her story: "Oh so it's stand with Ukraine when Russia invades but not Palesti-." 

Larsson's remarks shed light on the wider issue of the West's inconsistent response to various conflicts.

The fashion influencers Simi & Haze Khadra shared a similar sentiment, reposting a series of slides on their social media platform, highlighting human rights violations endured by Palestinians.

They noted that "absolute Zionist thinking collapses conversation and villainizes empathy for a Palestinian population that has extensively experienced torture, kidnapping, murder and other oppressive colonialist tactics at the hands of an apartheid state for decades."

However, singer Boy George expressed support for Israel, writing: "When you hurt women, children, and the elderly, your cause is doomed. I stand with Israel." 

His remarks were met with criticism by several social media users who responded with lists of the women, children, and elderly killed by Israeli forces in recent months and years.

It's so funny how Noah was asking people what to get for Millie's birthday and some users were recommending "A car" and he was like "My budget isn't that big and she already has cars", lol.

In plural.

Love that for Millie.

So funny how someone also recommended a Kardashian for Millie to meet and Noah was like "Get me a Kardashian! I want to meet... Kylie".

So, we already know what the perfect gift for Noah is: to have him meet Kylie Jenner or Zendaya, lol.
