I know it’s already on The Twenty, but I must simply reiterate just how good Die For It by Belly, Nas, and The Weeknd really is. -- (link) - Qale Oct 12, 07:09 [spotify] 3
- I was very confused by Belly. I thought maybe Tanya Donelly was back at it. -- nm - spamlet Oct 12, 07:17 2
  - I know. I mentioned it when I first added it. I can totally see the Spotify algorithm saying he likes Weeknd, Lil Nas X, and 90s Belly. Let’s try this -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 07:19 1

      - Yeah, it's going Spotify exclusive and I have Spotify premium but I already have a podcast app and their interface is garbage. - spamlet Oct 12, 06:20 3

        The kid uses it. I keep trying to get her to try a real app but she just shrugs. - spamlet Oct 12, 06:48
      - And this is an issue with TV and movies. If I want to watch something new I have to Google where it's streaming. I can't easily jump from show to show - Krusty Oct 12, 06:14 3
        
        I use an app called JustWatch that works fairly well at telling you where it's available to stream/buy/rent - spamlet Oct 12, 06:21 2
        
        So now I need another app to tell me which app the show I want to watch is on. Great! -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 12, 06:50

Chappelle now, Cuties prior… Netflix will continue on, unaffected. That’s how mafia works. -- nm - Qale Oct 11, 22:13 5
- Both of your examples are a lot more thoughtful and self aware of their "controversy" than critics acknowledge, playing gleeful gotcha instead. - rollo Oct 12, 05:58 1
  - Oh, I know. I watched Cuties. It was a very good movie that wasn’t at all what the controversy was saying. And I’ve already said comedy is sacrosanct. - Qale Oct 12, 07:29
