right, I honest to god do not see that shit unless I intentionally go looking for it. I block on here easily as often if not more, for simple insufferability. imo people need to let the comparison go and just, like, BE, maaan

love 2 embrace my kid's reassignment to a school 4 miles away because they have better programs, instead of getting better programs at the school that is in walking distance

point is, it wasn’t “a vague term meant to summarize the zeitgeist”. it was AAVE that got co-opted by normie white folks, as always happens, and then turned against everyone by extremely bad faith actors. partially *because* normie white folks were using it non-pejoratively

I mean the whole premise is wack because the colored vinyl is only nominally more expensive to produce so it's simply that there is forced scarcity on one version

I'm used to the air national guard jets as a neighborhood nuisance bc I live kinda close to pdx but a 7 jet formation screaming over my neighborhood just now was uh rather unnerving

it's 100% about what the market will bear, and if the label or artist can clock an extra $20-50 per unit they will. at least in hip hop the market is saying they are ok with those prices, and then you also have the philosophy of "this is an art piece" or whatever

sklutecase @sklute.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
in my experience it doesn't have to be at target to be seen as "not exclusive" and I think buyer psychology in rap differs from other genres somewhat. also I don't think the prices are higher to prevent flipping (because that doesn't actually prevent it) I think they are high because they can be

sklutecase @sklute.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
buyer psychology plays a role. these guys want the record less if it's cheaper and pressed in bigger quantities. available at retail? ugh that's basically no frills brand generic. yes it's ugly but indies would rather follow the customer than sacrifice them on the alter of morals

I actually got my money back because they sold me *paper tickets* that could not be re-sold. I don't think I'll be as lucky this time. and newly terrified about my Olivia Rodrigo tickets bc there's travel (and kids) involved

perhaps consider that anti trans rhetoric hits different in the wnba And I can tell you don’t watch hoop because that was just a hard foul. not “outside the lines violence”

Stoking trans panic for right wing grift cred is deeply fucked up and if you knew a damn thing about sports you would know any time a player goes to the press telling players to try them bc they don’t back down, you can bet someone will

lol she made herself the center of attention for two straight weeks despite being a mediocre player at best, said a bunch of deeply fucked up shit, and claimed to be an enforcer who is all about the smoke. absolutely deserved to be smacked in the head. have you ever watched sports?
