It makes me wonder who owns Orlebar Brown, which is my favorite fashion brand, which I'm not going to look up the ownership of in order to maintain my illusions.
EDIT: Apparently I shouldn't have googled it at all.
This one is particularly good though (I won't link it).
Very GMH approved.
I continue to wonder just how it is that you and I seem to run in totally different worlds.
I'm guessing this is in articles about social trends or something.

I'm guessing you're making reference to recent disputes over the nature of gender, but the funny thing is that if you hadn't brought it up I'd just see this usage as simply indicating that someone looked across the audience and estimated that roughly a tenth of the audience seemed to be male.
Well, I pay attention to mostly big mainstream outlets, so you'll tend to notice trends more there than in other avenues like Mastodon or the local state news.
The news I do check tends to cover stuff like the clownshow in the U.S. Congress or the various active military combat areas in various parts of the world, while I do tend to tune out pop culture stuff until it shows up in chat communities I'm personally in.
It's in that last sense that I mean that Taylor Swift hasn't really shown up much on my radar, aside from being some distant celebrity who's merely reportedly attracting mainstream attention.
Well there's this one Discord user who showed up on a university's server and repeatedly tried to sell a ticket for some amount above $300. I have yet to spend money on that one time a Final Fantasy concert ended up happening about an hour's drive from my home lol, and those tickets while still costly are significantly less absurdly expensive. (but yeah the latter would be more on my radar and the radar of communities i run in)
T*yl*r Sw__t is currently in the news for two things;
It has also come to my attention over the past few years that America has a serious Christmas movie overproduction problem. I think I'll watch some this week (not that I've watched a movie in ages).
Relatedly, I only noticed a few years ago that in addition to 'Frozen Desserts' (ie Not Ice Cream) we now have 'Dairy Snacks' (ie Not Yogurt).
This did not happen.
Thank goodness Korean culture came along and stole any chance for Japanese pop culture to go mainstream. Overall, that's not a good thing maybe, but for me maybe it is.
Another upside for me is German pop music likely never, ever becoming popular.
Also I think the "nerd concept theft" thing will end whenever Disney realizes they've drained the Marvel brand of whatever it has left and finally, finally give up (unless it randomly becomes popular again).
Weirdly enough, due to the excessive number of Barbie universes, people who have seen and "loved" the Barbie movie will, 97% of the time, not know that there was a whole Barbie animated series this year (ATOM/A Touch of Magic).
Also, since Barbie is mainstream now, maybe I'll become a fan of Steffi Love (or even Defa Lucy).
(Yeh, I've been running out of ideas)
Merry Non-Denominational Generic December Festivity Day!
Io Saturnalia!
Also, I learned that New York City is not the capital of the US state of New York.
(Well, technically, it is, as there are two Kansas Cities next to each other, but the far bigger and more famous one is in Missouri.)
also lol i used to watch the Olympics as a kid but nowadays i don't even bother
I, ummm... I wish I wish I had a /jp/ equivalent "home".
Awkwaaaaaaard
