Can we talk about people adding a sound to their tiktoks but just muting it (presumably to get more views/higher in the algo)? Like that Andrew Garfield interview used the Anti-Hero sound

yeah, I find that interesting too, it's a double-edged sword sometimes (or a win-win?) when it fits thematically, it adds sth to the video and the artists profit from it.

So frustrating that there are so many "unsupported elements" on android!! It means I have to go to substack through my browser to see what it is. Could you please start listing what the link/picture is so we know if we want to reload through a browser? Care about your android followers, please!

Tiktok and polls are unsupported, btw; twitter links seem to show up fine.

This is so exactly correct re: Miley and Liam!! I swear the internet refuses to take anything at face value- there simply *must* be an elaborate backstory- exhausting! Obsessed with how hot the music video is though 🔥

Love the take and quick reminder on the whole Miley and Liam thing. The TikTok’s were on my FYP - however I didn’t really engage/look further into it. So thank you! Also I’ve never heard about a ‘doco’ - interesting! (I always refer to it as a docu)

Have a lovely day everyone! ♥️

I watched M3GAN over the weekend too!!! It was pretty funny for a horror movie but surprisingly not too bad. Sounds like you had a great weekend Luce!

Thanks Luce, I listened to Flowers on Friday and I liked it (didn't love it) , thought it sounded somewhat familiar but didn't figure out the WIWYM interpolation. Anyways on those unbased rumors, I'd only respond with the lyrics of my favorite new release this week that is Gossip by Måneskin feat. Tom Morello (if you're looking for a Bruno Mars-interpolation-free banger that touches on the entertainment industry/celebrity cult-ure/ beauty standards/ ownership over artists or just a banger with some sweet guitar riffs/bass/ drums - I highly recommend checking it out-if that wasn't clear by the entire paragraph- along with the *iconic* mv) : *Sip the gossip, drink 'til (*according to genius but, I'd go with till, then again sometimes I would go with genious) you choke / Sip the gossip, burn down your throat/ You're not iconic✨, you are just like them all/ Don't act like you don't know* . Another suggestion, on a more serious note, about these and other cult-ish matters , is the latest episode of Jameela Jamil's i weigh I listened to today. https://open.spotify.com/episode/6GUs5cmLHXt1KVudIX3GGL?si=e1521fc6a7ab4dce

Really grateful for this podcast, as I am for Culture Vulture and The Shit Show (as well as everything that you or Jameela Jamil put out in this world- currently obsessed with The Good Place btw), have a good day Luce💙

THAT TITLE!! Honestly I was reading articles on Miley and Liam last night for exactly the reason that I couldn’t believe what I was reading online. I usually don’t really listen to Miley a lot but I actually love the song! Also you say that Liam dedicating the song to Miley on their wedding day doesn’t make sense, which you’re right about, but do you have any other theories on why Miley might’ve written this song as an “answer” to when I was your man?
