Happy Christmas @oliviarodrigo x
As someone who's listened to Candy by Robbie Williams an unreasonable amount of times, they don't sound especially similar.
Robbie Williams defends Olivia Rodrigo after she was accused of copying his song “Candy” with “take me home (4 christmas)”:
“Artists deserve to be protected. But there’s a difference between protecting your work and treating every vaguely familiar sequence of notes as a winning lottery ticket. It sounds to me as though she may have accidentally stumbled across a musical echo of mine in one of her new songs. And do you know what? I couldn’t care less. I don’t know whether there’s technically a publishing issue, a copyright issue, or no issue whatsoever. And I don’t want to know. I’m not going after her. Because I think at some point, some f**king sanity has to prevail […] We all stand on the shoulders of people who came before us. Sometimes consciously. Sometimes without even knowing it. That’s how music works. If we keep punishing people for accidentally arriving somewhere somebody else has already been, eventually we’re going to frighten the creativity out of everyone.”

Lisa Ann and Kendra Lust publicly fighting on the timeline. Haven't felt this emotionally torn since Artie Lange and Andrew Dice Clay got into a fight on Stern over $5,000

Been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan, as usual. One testament to his greatness is that even his bad stuff is sorta worth knowing, even just as a reference point. I'm glad that I know what Empire Burlesque sounds like. I refer relatively often to "Wiggle Wiggle" and "Lenny Bruce."
In all fairness, this is from the 3rd bond, not the first, Connery actively slimmed down since. He used to be a body builder (in the pre gear era).
The biggest evidence that declining t-levels are bunk designed to sooth geriatric egos is that this was a top % man decades ago and he’d be considered a skinnyfat alcoholic in any gym nowadays.

De Palma gets a lot of credit for his oners (for good reason, more of them are incredible than not) but his sense of cutting is probably as good.

People who hate sex in movies being into slashers is very funny to me. "Yeah, sex in movies is horrendous and misogynistic, which is why I love the rape genre."
This Kiss by Faith Hill: when was the last time the phrase "centripical motion" was used in a massive pop hit?

When I was a kid I was weirdly obsessive in regards to the aesthetics of the uniform fashion in the TNG era of Trek. The puffier season 3 onward ones always looked so cool and comfortable to me, and the DS9 ones with the colored shoulders and grey undershirt collars rocked, too. I hated the Dominion war grey shoulder uniforms though, pissed me off whenever I saw them.
