I like Piche but I feel like as a non French I'm not getting the references. Also at times she comes off a little cocky. I really liked the workroom chats in the makeover episode though. Tbh, I also really like Moon but she isn't bringing it like I thought she would. She and Magnetica were both slightly disappointing to me whereas I really didn't expect people like Misty and Kam to be so solid. I would be surprised if Mami isn't the winner now but Elips is a dark horse for sure!

I'm ready

Katseye on Drag Race yasss

I really hope they do some good parodies this time and I pray for a Snatch Game that isn't lazy character choices like Elvis Presley! Give me Angie Bowie, Cat Deeley or Alison Hammond!

I may go back to rock for the next contest

Taahino ended up my 3rd placer. Definitely a big fave.

I do think its striking she doesnt seem to have any friends outside of twitter. She never posts any nice event pictures or is seen in the papers doing things. The only celebrities she seems to count as friends are politicians.

Rowling today said on her Twitter that 'anyone born with the capacity to grow eggs is a woman from birth'. Obviously people are clowning on her with bird memes but it's like she doesn't even realize that she herself is literally erasing GIRLS by saying something like that (!) I seriously do believe she isn't well and isn't in touch with reality. The woman who became famous 20 years ago would've had more gumption than to say something like that.

I truly hope that more people are able to escape Gaza. I don't believe they will be able to stay but Israel should at least give them the dignity to become refugees rather than massacre them man woman and child. Just disgusting. If there's a hell that's where they're going people that did such things.

I'm trying to think of something more impactful or summer-feeling than Blessings (Harris/Douglas) for me. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I kinda lived that she went home though... I didn't think Mami would dare elim her for a girl who wasn't on her season, but Kam made a good reasoning for it AND it was getting rid of competition!

Hopefully you don't hold that against me when it comes to voting!

That would be heinous

rip big fat final I was surprised mine wasn't double confirmed tho its a great track! hopefully gets some crossover appeal

I think 1BF would be fun! But it would be cool if we could have some kind of a preview casting round for 'provisional votes out of 10' or something that didn't end up counting, just so we could then compare that with the final result. (Why yes, I do love stats) E: I would volunteer to help out or run it

Funnily enough, I'm also not sure what actually counts as ID for it. Does anyone know if it specifically has to be a British ID? If so I'm shit out of luck and this is indirect discrimination against immigrants too.

This has been done. My concern would be that they find some way to parse the databases in the future and auto-block everyone who looks to have used a fake or generated ID to get around the requirement.

Arguably this could also be said to be discrimination against people who wear head or face coverings in the first instance. In the second instance this could then be weaponised against for instance, women who live in homes where they are encouraged to wear head or face coverings who are then discovered to be accessing 'adult' material, as that will be implicit proof that they 'revealed their face' in order to get access to the material. I'm also not sure it's been mentioned in this thread but this face ID trusts that there is a standard human face that looks a certain age. What about people who have had their faces harmed by attacks or disasters, or about people who are starting off with a facial difference. For that matter, how do people with a visual impairment input their ID? Accessibility of new tools is something I work with and that doesn't seem to have been considered as part of this rollout at all. And if it relies on a government-issued ID only, well, that's currently then a paywall to accessing the material at all, in your own home, on your own device that you paid for, via your own internet subscription you also pay for.

The danger specifically is the prospect of something retroactively being classed as 'inappropriate' leading to punishment or removal of service. America has a Christocentric leadership right now. It's not beyond the pale that criticism of Christianity or at least of its leaders could be designated 'inappropriate' in the near future; at which point Persona has a list of the IDs of people who've done that and who 'deserve punishment' as a result...

I still remember Vanda slaying that Rusical and the lipsync against Genie without speaking a word of the language, but knowing the rough meaning of the song. Pangina was going crazy watching her! Its a relief bc I thought Thailand 3 had too much English in it.

A queen acing their (first) AS after a solid but not untouchable first season is also more satisfying - see Bendela/Katya

I'm gonna need to check her out - on the surface this is a way better comeback story and I'm also 100% here for Silky (deservedly, in my opinion) doing pretty meh in the season, and for A'Keria getting to show off her lipsync skill. Shame for Jasmine but at least she gets plenty chance to show her skills off. I'm as excited to see what Joey does as I was about Irene now tbh!

I still can't tell if she gets that she's cringe or not

For me the best thing about this trailer is the confirmation it's NOT fully/majority in English !

'Left Outside' and 'Left out" were my first two thoughts re that name. Why not a snappier name like Reform or Momentum?
