Goth is becoming more popular than it has ever been. Take for example The Cure cover "The Perfect Girl" that has by total over billion streams. Of course a lot of it has to do with universal feeling of melancholy, spread through TikTok.

Just noticed that even TWIX uses Belarusian postpunk song that quotes Russian poet's words about institutionalized life, where death feels more cozy than life - but there's a desperate longing to face life directly, to cry, and to keep living rather than disappear.

Btw, this Twix commercial got banned in Britain.

While TikTok follows trends - and I'm quite surprised to see something as underground as Radio Werewolf being played by teenagers & young adults - there's also people like a clothing market in St. Petersburg (Russia), named Kissa Market (Kissa means Cat in Finnish) that isn't just a company but a whole philosophy and a collective answer to life's struggles. These photos market their own brand of clothing, and their shop in the "ruins of empires".

The latest terrorist attack on the ICE Hotel by left wing terrorists led by Tim Walz and other Democrats, must be absolutely condemned.

At that point, Law Enforcement should have opened fire on the Terrorists and cut them down ASAP before any of them could be harmed.

This terrorist attack could also be blamed on President Trump himself, for not sending in any military personnel or some other sort of identical backup to protect ICE and Border Patrol law enforcement. His failure to act, is harming law enforcement.

Everyone involved in the latest hotel terror attack, should be arrested and given the death penalty for harming law enforcement.

Our country should never tolerate domestic terrorists and terror attacks on our own soil. It's time for President Trump to take on an Abraham Lincoln mindset and start crushing the insurrection and putting down the terrorists organization, headed by their Governor and Walz. And once that's done, arrest Walz and the Governor for inciting terrorist attacks, inciting an insurrection and for destroying the State.

Wake UP TRUMP!!

This song is a vibe. So melancholy and it feels like your fading into death. I love the batman edit added to it. Wish killswitch engage did more songs like this.

Bishop Robert Barron: There was a line from Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural address yesterday that took my breath away. He said he intended to replace “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Collectivism in its various forms is responsible for the deaths of at least one hundred million people in the last century. Socialist and Communist forms of government around the world today—Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, etc.—are disastrous. Catholic social teaching has consistently condemned socialism and has embraced the market economy, which people like Mayor Mamdani caricature as “rugged individualism.” In fact, it is the economic system that is based upon the rights, freedom, and dignity of the human person. For God’s sake, spare me the “warmth of collectivism.”

You thought Disney buying Fox was bad? The fact that Netflix is now big and rich enough to buy Warner Bros. signals the death of movie theaters. Some of you might see this as a good thing, but this potentially spells the destruction of movies as we know them.

The thing about streaming media is it actually affects your perception of media. Think about why people still collect vinyl records. Yes, you could just stream something on Spotify, but it's not the same experience. You go from, "I'm gonna consciously pick out a record from my shelf and put it on and listen to some music" to "Let's just put on some randomized playlist for background noise."

It's the same thing with movies. It's a lot cheaper and more convenient to stream something than it is to go to the theater, but when you do that, you go from, "I'm gonna plan my day around seeing this movie, and I'm gonna sit there with my popcorn and watch it, and it's gonna be an event" to "Eh, let's just pick something on Netflix to kill a couple hours. We can read tweets at the same time." The convenience trivializes it, makes you less likely to pay attention, and less likely to remember the experience. When the movie ends, instead of reflecting on it and analyzing it, you just say, "Okay, that's over. Onto the next thing."

And this doesn't just affect how you watch a movie, it affects how movies are actually made. Companies like Netflix know you're only half paying attention when you stream a movie, and just putting on movies in the background while you do something else. That's why they dumb down movies on purpose (and that's not a conspiracy theory, there are leaked memos confirming this). They make dialog blunt and obvious, and they make the cinematography lazy, and their movies increasingly look the same because the color grading is optimized for viewing on tiny screens. And as streaming dominates, the dumbing down of our entertainment will only get worse.
