Laura Les is a producer, singer and songwriter best known for being half of the hyperpop duo 100 gecs alongside Dylan Brady. Les is known for using high pitched and Auto-Tuned vocals in her music, like in "Haunted," which was featured on the "Euphoria" soundtrack.
Les is a transgender woman, and she has released songs discussing her struggles with her gender identity. For example, "how to dress as a human," which Les released in college under the name osno1, talks about how to dress herself as a trans person and the anxieties that came along with trying to pass. She also credits gender dysphoria around her voice as the reason for her "nightcore style" vocals, saying that it was the only way she could record and listen to her own voice. However, in tracks on the most recent 100 gecs album "10,000 gecs," she peels back some of the Autotune and modulation as she explored her voice and her identity.
At the end of the day, it just really sucks when you can't even enjoy a new release by your favorite artist because the greater internet has decided she's their acceptable outlet of misogyny and they have to comment or hate on her every move every single time.
i can see many things /hj. analytics are my friend and i have an obsessive personality
jk, I don't usually check them that often it was just bc the streams per listener and increasing number of streams for Montana were insane bc of being put on loop so I was curious
edit: this is different from elliotly stuff which I can't really do detective work for bc there are too many people
????? Of course Renee said no??? She is not a woman of faith she would be a terrible choice for this project????
Like defending someone else's beliefs is the kind of thing I would do for fun but I acknowledge that most people wouldn't want/be good at doing that. Including you Mr. Whittaker. Imagine if one of the kids came up to you and said they needed help on a paper which demonstrates how evolution is compatible with Christianity or that evolution disproves Christianity. You know perfectly well you wouldn't help them.
I don't like this new portrait gallery it's just imagination station and it's lost it's charm.
So, the sciencentist is referring to the beginning of Romans and I'd just like to point out that Paul is talking about Judaism as well as Christianity since they hadn't properly separated at that point.
I like the faith and science are compatible argument. However the claim that Christianity "invented" science is a gross simplification. Yes, Christains founded a lot of old universities. You know who else did? Muslims. Which would actually support the faith and science compatibility argument as well but we're not going to talk about that are we?
Also how does any of this help Camila the assignment was for how faith is BETTER than science. Which is an awful assignment but the AiO world is so strange I'll believe it. I mean I technically don't actually know what goes on in public schools maybe this kind of objectionable nonsense happens all the time. (It doesn't)
This misses the entire point of the portrait gallery.
Huh, didn't know God not being IN the universe was this widespread a doctrine. Cool.
That was actually a nice speech there Mr. Whittaker. *polite applause*
No, Galileo's problem wasn't that he contradicted the Bible (that is also a part of it) it was that he contradicted a specific Church doctrine and metaphor about Jesus. Actually I should fact check myself, I can't remember reading that from a reliable source so I probably just heard it somewhere my apologies to myself if I'm wrong.
Funny if I remember right exiling people is frequently what you did to heretics. Isn't that what happened after the council of Nicea?(Which I know is an unrelated event its just the first exiling I thought of) Renée's point still stands regardless of how well he's been treated.
Are you.... Tousen doing a bad italian accent?
Oh no. This is about evolution again.
Ok they made it subtle. And yeah this story most definitely sounds more like the kind of thing that was happening in this era. Would have been a good opportunity to point out that even pre reformation "the church" wasn't one entity with completely unanimous beliefs because if everyone hated his theory then there wouldn't be controversy really.
No! This wasn't a portrait gallery episode.
I need to read up on Galileo.
Bouns reaction:
First not everyone is here because the Mona Lisa is captivating. But I'm just bitter because I want people to talk about other paintings.
Second you can't destroy the painting then say why do people like it. That's like saying tell me why people like cake but you only get four, eggs, sugar, etc.
Third Renee loves math if she doesn't start going off about the golden rectangle or something I'm going to be sad.
She didn't that's a bummer. Like I know art theories are not full proof methodological tools for making good art, however it would be logical for someone in Renee's position to try and argue that perspective.
Ultimately I give this episode a thumbs up 👍 overall I like that the episode exists.
dead. i used to listen to it a lot in like 2018-2020 but truly ever since Sophie died it feels like all modern hyperpop is just people making loud sounds between super exaggerated vocals
