Is it because Jack Antonoff was the secret sauce the whole time?
are you telling me that human beings make shitty, unauthentic slop that’s worse than a shitty idiot that fed something resembling an idea that they couldn’t make because of their lack of musical capability? I’m shocked shocked at this!
Well not that shocked, since pop music has been recycling tin pan alley songs since the dawn of time.

He’s also responsible for getting the ball rolling on enshittification. When you could connect an ipod to a computer, the files were scattered to a billon random places, and you were FORCED to have itunes.
Now, every single fucking thing has to come with their own app. fuck this.

ok, so why are you busting my balls? I don’t own a house , nor do I live in the US. Why are you saying I’m privilaged for pointing out that my fucking meager existence wouldn’t be all that impressive even if I was a millionaire, and that these fucking US comedians are undercharging the saudi pricks for the whitewashing they are doing?
- Comment on Hope his set doesn't bomb 1 week ago:
That is an incredibly privileged thing to be able to say tbh.
how? I’m pointing out the financial situation has gone to such shit that having a house and a profession that pays what a profession is worth would make you a millionaire.
Note that I’m not saying that all professionals are millionaires or own houses; which is the fucked up part. No one is paying what things are fucking worth.

americans have done gigs at fringe, hannibal burress (seen in this shameful BS) did shows at fringe and talked about them at his stand up

Fuck it man, I’m doubling down.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millionaire#Historical_wort…
Depending on how it is calculated, a million US dollars in 1900 is equivalent to $37.8 million (in 2024):[18] $24.8 million using the consumer price index, $61.4 million using the gold price[19]
Being a millionaire doesn’t mean shit anymore. It means you own a house in a city and are a well paid professional.
If the fucking Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia wants me to personally whitewash his terrible regime, he better get me eight figures at least. Otherwise it’s blood soaked chump change these days.

Comedian Tim Dillon said on his podcast last month that he signed up for financial reasons. He said he had been offered “a large sum of money” — $375,000 for one performance — and said that other comedians had been offered as much as $1.6 million. He told his detractors to “get over it,” adding, “So what if they have slaves, they’re paying me enough to look the other way.”
This is the most fucking damning part. You’re accepting a paycheque that is so fucking small to boost an oppressive regime, for something that can barely buy a house or two in major cities? Like, if you wanted a decent house in london, 375K isn’t going to fucking cover it. Negociate properly if you’re going to sell out, at least bump it up to 8 or 9 figures. To MBS you’re literally worth the same amount of coins you’d give a homeless person.

So the article has a link to the “visit saudi” page with the line up. Some additional disappointments are hannibal burress, Omid Djalili (… not sure how dissapointed I should be of him, since I consider him a fellow ethnic minorty Brit, but he could be "the people in Riadh could do with a laugh, just like when I was in Tehran) , but the jewel is the “about saudi” section which shows you what a fun holiday destination Saudi Arabia is :
Alcohol and Substances
Alcohol and narcotics are strictly prohibited by law, and violations can carry serious penalties.
General Conduct: Courtesy and modesty are highly valued.
Because nothing says “fun holiday” like “you better wear that burkha, and not drink anything, or your ass is going to jail for a very long time”.
You want soft power? Stop being an oppressive, economic hole, and be a place actually worth visiting. The reason Japan and Korea can get away with their horrid conservativism is that they allow artistic expression, and can maintain an economy and social presentability in a way that people aren’t fleeing the country/region in droves and foreigners want to experience their culture firsthand because it seems safe, novel and luxurious. Flavours of Ice cream and chocolate aren’t going to cut it.
The most notable recent cultural export from Saudi Arabia is Masameer county, and that’s not the kind of place anyone wants to visit… although I really had fun watching it. Doesn’t mean I want to go to Riyadh to live like those idiots, the same way I don’t want to go visit Nova Scotia after watching Trailer Park Boys.
