A+ sales pitch!

@grogsgamut.bsky.social - the bow wasn’t drawn by The Oz, it was drawn by Let herself!

I feel you. My sister is a barrister with an Oxford doctorate in human rights, but she knows zero memes.

(Also Anti-Hero’s not much better).

Such a weird choice.

Also think she was burned a bit by awful choice of lead singles for Lover. Me!, YNTCD, and The Man were not well received critically, and Cruel Summer didn’t get its due until five years later.

IMO, it’s been because since Folklore she’s been an album artist, not a single artist. No one single has caught on like like Espresso or similar. So she gets the metric of the whole track list charting at once, rather than the metric of the lead single at #1 for X many weeks or whatever.

I think the interesting lens to view it through, in light of her engagement, is - what if this is the last TS breakup album? There’s something fitting about its length and looseness in that regard. Like the last 2am post b/u call your friends will pick up after they start telling you to get a grip.

@claireconnelly.bsky.social it’s shocking (is it, though?) how little media seems to understand that online ‘debate’ culture isn’t about a contest of ideas.

Regret to inform you, you’ve been identified as the primary suspect.

I look forward to s robot tapping me every seven minutes between 4am and 5am about op-eds.

Eep. Push notifications for news apps have been around for over a decade and most orgs still have a totally chaotic approach to them.
