Whataboutism is an easy logical fallacy to fall into. Art being supported by rich patrons isn't exactly a modern new thing. And brands are kind of inherent in the fashion industry anyway. This kind of art may not be my thing or your thing, but it's still art, and still VERY different than demeaning gossip around gender stereotypes.

Admiring artistic fashion choices by people that often make other kinds of popular art and denouncing the reactions of misogynists attempting to demean and dehumanize those artists simply because they are women are two VERY different things. What's sadder is your "both sides" reaction to a clearly toxic attitude vs. people exhibiting art through fashion.
The song wasn't worried that the drink would make you sick. The song is about common items being used to treat a variety of aliments. Scurvy? Eat a lime. Headache, probably from dehydration or low electrolytes? Coconut water will fix that. Hungover? Coconut water and lime is actually a great tasting way to start feeling a little better. This song is like the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" with a catchy island beat.
Also, if you're not already familiar with Harry Nilsson. Go check out his stuff. Great singer and song writer. His music in the movie "The Point" absolutely shaped my perspective on the world as a child and it's themes continued to resonate throughout my life.
Difficult to do it in a way that is physically consistent with a camera lens/sensor.
That's really not true at all. Lots of photo software has precise metrics on a multitude of actual camera lenses specifically to compensate (remove) for the inherent optical properties of said lenses. Using those same metrics to mimic the optical properties of those lenses, rather that remove them, is also fairly common. The optical properties of the sensors are obviously also well known, otherwise digital photography simply wouldn't work. This photo may or may not be AI, but the existence of blurring neither proves nor excludes either possibility.
It's never to late to relearn a suboptimal skill you thought you knew. I believe I found this site several decades after being taught the standard shoe lace knot and a child. That one ALWAYS needed a second knot to keep my laces tied. Now I tie either the two loop knot "bunny ears" or Ian's Secure Shoelace knot. Both are balanced so the knots always stays tied and both can be pulled apart and undone with a simple tug at both free ends of the shoelace. Haven't tied my laces the way my parents taught me ever since.
I did that, but on the ride to school.
In order to keep printers working properly they require regular blood sacrifices, tears are also acceptable. Most printers get these by accident as people clear paper jams, refill ink or toner cartridges, etc. Some printers clearly behave and perform better long term than others. More complexity (colors, 2 sided printing, large format, etc.) usually correlates to a larger thirst for blood/stress/anxiety. Remember Colin Robinson, the psychic vampire from "What We Do in the Shadows"? I'm pretty sure his spirit animal would be a color inkjet printer/scanner combo from late 90's.
This is why the fuck: american football evolved from Association Football (soccer) and rugby. Americans didn't take over the name, the names for each version of the "ball game on a field with goals at either end" developed from different regional slang as each sport evolved and grew into popularity in their respective places. Each of those sports developed various shortened or slang versions of their name. Rugby was really Rugby football. Association football became soccer, a term coined in London and adopted by Americans. Gridiron football evolved from both and become what Americans just called football.
That's just a taxi company with extra steps, extra wage theft, and fewer worker protections.
What's wrong with spouse? Have people forgotten that thesaurus exist? Spouse is already gender neutral, literally means married partner, and doesn't sound like a corporate speak buzzword to make the drones feel like family.
More like by design for an LTS release.
Don't worry. Time is a flat circle. What is old, is new again. Smart glasses will get smaller and more discreet packages and the kids will forget the original chunky look that meant "potential invasion of privacy". I like what I like and I'm content to remain true to that until the merry-go-round of fashion comes back around again. Sometimes I may hop on a new trend and take the ride a bit, but it's always my choice. Nostalgia is often used as a derogatory term by trendy/edgy people to feel superior about picking some style that is new to them. That fashion is almost always someone else's "nostalgia". Fashion is all just picking and choosing which spot on the nostalgia merry-go-round feels right for us in this moment.
