Cubans in the US are notorious for this line of thinking. Just because a country you or your family came from was in a dire state and this country offers a better way of life does not meant the rest of us can't critique and demand something better for THIS country. The Constitution of the USA gives us the RIGHT to criticize the government and demand change. I will not let anyone tell me how to feel and what to say. It's funny how these people think they are defending the US when they are actually trying to silence dissent which is actually the most un-American ideology anyone could have if you actually respect our rights.

Take me back

So much for Mr. “Worldwide” 😒

Kunal Nayyar‘s recent interview with The i Paper is currently going viral on X thanks to “The Big Bang Theory” actor’s revelation that he frequently goes on GoFundMe to anonymously donate to campaigns that provide money towards medical bills for families. Fortune magazine reported earlier this year that Nayyar’s reported net worth is $45 million. “Money has given me greater freedom and the greatest gift is the ability to give back, to change people’s lives,” Nayyar said in December. “We also support animal charities because we love dogs. But what I really love to do is go on GoFundMe at night and just pay random families’ medical bills. That’s my masked vigilante thing! So, no, money doesn’t feel like a burden. It feels like a grace from the universe.” Nayyar starred as Raj Koothrappali on all 12 seasons of “The Big Bang Theory,” the hugely popular CBS sitcom that ran from 2007 to 2019. The cast was earning a reported $1 million per episode at the height of the show’s success. Forbes even ranked Nayyar as the world’s third-highest-paid TV actor in both 2015 and 2018 with annual earnings of $20m and $23.5m, respectively. The actor told The i Paper that wealth does not “weigh heavy” on him and he’s happy to donate to charitable causes. https://inews.co.uk/culture/film/big-bang-theory-kunal-nayyar-pay-families-medical-bills-4067786?srsltid=AfmBOorNzKluxmteJXcCIufN1flRSrd-6fkfgD3FAvwPYGLtVvVaNBCB https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/kunal-nayyar-gofundme-family-medical-bills-big-bang-theory-wealth-1236665520/

Imma log off for the day 'cause I'm such a stick in the mud rn. I was actually annoyed for a second that you dug up a 7 month old story just to make a "queen of pop in the title" joke

Jesus Christ I am so ****ing sick of hearing this woman's name. Give someone else a turn to shine for gods sake. What marketting tricks did she pull this time? How many variants? Who else was getting close to #1 that she had to block?

Billboard 200: 60. The Fame - 455 weeks (+9) 71. Mayhem - 49 weeks (+2) Billboard Global 200: 22. Die with a Smile - 78 weeks 181. Poker Face - 55 weeks 183. Abracadabra - 46 weeks

Why is everyone upset with his statement? He’s telling the truth by giving an option 🤷🏻‍♂️

Cuban-American man wants to get picked over his fellow people.

Genuinely shocked this hasn’t devolved into a thirst thread yet 🪦

He's such a loser

God I miss being a teenf*g We didn't know how good we had it.

Expecting altruism from the wealthy? Hilarious They're investigating in AI because they think it'll be the next thing to inflate their already disgustingly bloated wallets.

Gurl… if wearing a basket on her head that looks like a giant eyeball and coming to Grammys in a full black feather gown ain’t doin it for ya… take a look at what everyone else wore there. She’s still so outlandish compared to anyone else that I don’t understand how you can feel that way. Additionally…. Those old looks wouldn’t be getting any toots from Raja and Raven these days. The bar is so astronomically higher today and her fashion is so much better now.

What is it about MAYHEM's fashion specifically that makes you think that she's not being as "bombastic" as she was before? Truthfully, I think a lot of your idea of what Gaga's fashion was like back then is because you just feel nostalgic for that time period. Of course, there were artists before Gaga who were boundary-pushing in their fashion, but Gaga was this generation's version of that. It was unique, different, and out of the box. I think as time goes on, it just naturally becomes less and less shocking or groundbreaking because she's been at this for almost two decades. Like, this part doesn't really make sense: "Her clothes are almost too tailored now. And it is adding to her being perceived as part of the industry now and not being as fearless as she once was to speak up. I don't like that." She's being perceived as part of the industry because she IS the industry. Again, she's been at this for almost two decades. She's certainly rebellious in spirit and in her art, but she's integrated herself well within the industry for quite some time now.

No it's because they want a cheaper labor force

I know people will argue she has been back to her early form, but one thing I miss is the bold, crazy, and high brow fashion. Don't get me wrong, I do love the Mayhem era fashion, and I do think it looks sleek and put together well. I do love that it feels cohesive and intentional. But I do think the weird element is missing. One of the things I used to love about Gaga was her ability to wear something that I truly felt like I had never thought of or seen before. Even early in her career, part of her shtick was the whole "what is she gonna wear to the red carpet or on the sidewalk" thing. I remember the Grammys in 2011 even using that as a selling point in the ads for the Grammys: "What will Lady Gaga wear?" I wish she pushed it a little more and wore something daring again. Or even wore something that was clever or polarizing again. You can wear a big designer name but throw something oddly commercial into it. Or flip what everyone else is doing. It doesn't even need to be strange as much as I like fashion that makes a comment on something. Her clothes are almost too tailored now. And it is adding to her being perceived as part of the industry now and not being as fearless as she once was to speak up. I don't like that. Does anyone else miss this too and know what I mean? I think she needs to get a little bombastic and wild again. (Some people will say it's because she is maturing but I already hate that argument and think its ageist and stupid and Gaga really isn't even that old yet ffs).

mind you her visuals used to look like this why is she doing the absolute least these days?

I thought the thread title was a new song at first

To me, her taste has never been more focused. MAYHEM is her most visually consistent era, imo. Dark, sexy, edgy, high-quality, expensive. The bleached brows are a cosmetic through-line (w subdued eye makeup for some sophistication). Give me this over a Kermit dress any day

I mean, to suck the penis that created a goddess is quite unique, no?

not this

“Telling the truth” and he’s discouraging people from practicing their First Amendment rights and reinforcing an authoritarian nationalist ideology. Huh. Yeah, no, he’s being c*nt.

Bad bunny currently *is* No. 1, 2, 5 & 7 in the week following the Superbowl, this prediction is for the week after. Taylor literally had to postpone the shipping of her Opalite physicals because she couldn't outdo Benito last week.

Nope. The state should take this money and use it to ensure the basic needs of all its people are met (food, shelter, healthcare). We shouldn't rely on the generosity of people who have been allowed by the state to accrue obscene amounts of wealth. With that being said, I mean no critique to him; good that he's doing the right thing with his money.

This months on Spotify : - Bad Romance to hit 1.8 billion streams - Born This Way to pass 800M streams

I let it slide when someone called Madonna the Queen of Pop today, but this is too far. DEATH ROW!!!

Hudson debuted a girlfriend and yall started a support group

...from MAYHEM This is for those who hate this song

Sure, but in between all of these, she had videos like Video Games, Ultraviolence, Venice B!tch, etc. She's always done low effort/budget videos spliced in with vintage clips, especially during her Lizzy Grant era with Lolita, Diet Mountain Dew, etc. This is quintessential Lana. She also dropped a high budget video for Candy Necklace from her last album anyways.

As we all remember, Beyoncé and Ivanka were seen sharing a table at a charity event within the past year. Many speculated that this was nothing more than the consequence of predetermined seating arrangements by the event organizer. Be that as it may, recent tweets suggest there may be something far more significant, perhaps even geopolitically SEISMIC, going on between the two. Insiders have speculated that Beyoncé’s forthcoming album is going to be her “most Chinese work to date” with many fans commenting on the progression from American hegemony to Chinese hegemony in the 21st century as an underlying message of many of the teasers, but also because one of Cowboy Carter’s most iconic images was the horse on the album cover, which may have been foreshadowing Beyoncé’s venture into Chinese culture just in time for 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse. Which brings me to my point about her potential collab with Ivanka Trump. Take a peek at her most recent tweet, highlighting the Chinese lunar New Year and specifically referencing the Year of the Fire Horse: Coincidence? I think not. What do y’all think? Is Ivanka stabbing her father in the back by jumping off the sinking ship of the American empire and joining Beyoncé in what will likely result in the coup de grâce of American soft power and the rise of the Chinese millennium? Discuss!

Kill for love crosses 10m, just CSTH left

I wish reading the thread title was enough, I wish I had never read the full list.

Paparazzi is officially 20M streams aways from entering the Billion club in Spotify

this reminds me when gaga asked us to choose the next ARTPOP single, and chose dwuw despite the votes

When i bow down to pray i try to make them world more MAGA lord show me the way

I mean, he’s a wealthy Cuban, is anyone really surprised?

I mean… I was gonna say that he could expose his genitals to me and I’d take good care of them.

To match the quality of the song and video
