Met Gala
As always, Met Gala content is going behind the paywall because there is so much of it and that will come out tomorrow(ish). Taylor Content is also coming soon, I’m still thinking about the album. Just give me a minute. I have a lot of feelings (criticisms) and need to work through them before I put pen to paper.
Jack Schlossberg
Every generation gets their Kennedy. We finally have ours. He lives up the name with the Harvard bonafides, the Law degree, the chiseled jawline, and the Blue Bloods cameo. I saw him coming from miles away and assumed our culture did not need him. I thought Kennedies were a secret interest for those with too much affection for aristocracy that we all agreed not to talk about in polite company. However, this one is a born poster and does well with the internet crowd. Mostly because gay guys like him and Republicans can’t recognize frat boys having fun in a lightly homophobic way anymore. His presence in the zeitgeist is more than just “Kennedy Grandson”. He also exists in direct opposition to his first cousin once removed currently running for President. We’re thinking about the Kennedys more than we have in recent years and not for positive reasons. The legacy is becoming complicated again and the only person who can set it straight is the true heir to the Kennedy bloodline, the pretty boy.

I’m Looking For A Man In Finance

It’s May which means it’s time to reintroduce the topic “The Song of the Summer”. Aspiring musicians still earnestly post about writing it and comedians still try to joke about it, semi-ironically. This girl has the best take on it we can collectively offer at this point. It’s lazy, it’s quick, and it’s all shorthand. We’ve been talking about the same things for so long that we have distilled our major topics down to a 20-second video. Song of the summer, finance guys, everyone does their version, DJs set it to some music. It’s a tight precursor to get us ready for summer. We don’t need all the pomp and circumstance of previous years. We’ve had this conversation before.
Drake and Kendrick

The Beef has produced a meme. It has produced several but this one puts it in the easiest terms. Kendrick Lamar hates Drake. This entry into the ongoing skirmish puts his feelings most simply and easily lets others talk about their feelings of hatred. For me, it is a reminder that every day one of these two men is writing a song about how much he hates the other and to see if any new entries have been added since I last checked.
