Perry always found out who was lying, who was telling the truth, who was guilty — and why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I grew older, I naturally discovered that things are grayer and more elusive in real world courtrooms. It’s not simply that you can’t always be sure who’s telling the truth, but that sometimes nobody knows the truth well enough to tell it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13923388']This ambiguity takes mesmerizing form in \u003cem>Saint Omer\u003c/em>, the strikingly confident feature debut of Alice Diop, a 43-year-old French filmmaker born of Senegalese immigrants. Based on an actual criminal case in France in which a Senegalese woman killed her baby daughter, Diop’s fictionalized version is at once rigorous, powerful and crackling with ideas about isolation, colonialism, the tricky bonds between mothers and daughters, and the equally tricky human habit of identifying with other people for reasons we may not grasp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Saint Omer\u003c/em> begins with Diop’s surrogate, Rama (Kayije Kagame), a successful intellectual writer who has a white musician boyfriend and a Senegalese mother she can’t quite stand. She heads off from Paris to the town of Saint Omer to watch the trial of Laurence Coly (Guslagie Malanda).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laurence is a Senegalese woman who once dreamed of being a genius philosopher — she casually namechecks Descartes — but now confesses to causing the death of her baby daughter Elise.

We hear the righteous words of the mother she always felt distant from, and we cringe at the testimony of her one-time professor who, with exquisite cultural condescension, wonders why Laurence had wanted to study Wittgenstein rather than a thinker befitting her African roots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, the trial’s star attraction is Laurence who, in Malanda’s rivetingly charismatic performance, is at once controlled and unreadable: She makes us feel that there’s a whole universe in Laurence’s head that we can never reach. Although her testimony is delivered matter-of-factly — even when she blames the murder on sorcery — she often contradicts her earlier statements. Asked why she left Elise to die on the beach, she replies that she doesn’t know, adding, “I hope this trial will give me the answer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13923820\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13923820\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/saintomer_01_custom-c5c8d39f8da431a91555c4a97cd30e9d20da2029-800x400.jpg\" alt=\"A young Black woman with braids, wearing a loose olive green shirt, wears a concerned expression, sitting in the audience of a court hearing.\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/saintomer_01_custom-c5c8d39f8da431a91555c4a97cd30e9d20da2029-800x400.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/saintomer_01_custom-c5c8d39f8da431a91555c4a97cd30e9d20da2029-1020x510.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/saintomer_01_custom-c5c8d39f8da431a91555c4a97cd30e9d20da2029-160x80.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/saintomer_01_custom-c5c8d39f8da431a91555c4a97cd30e9d20da2029-768x384.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/saintomer_01_custom-c5c8d39f8da431a91555c4a97cd30e9d20da2029.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kayije Kagame plays a writer covering the murder trial. \u003ccite>(via Toronto Film Fest)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If Laurence remains a mystery, even to herself, we gradually realize why Rama is so enthralled by her story.

"headTitle": "A Decade on, the ‘This is Fine’ Creator Wants to Put the Famous Dog to Rest | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>Thanks to a ubiquitous meme, the ironic phrase “This is fine” means things are not really that fine at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ve probably seen it: A smiling cartoon dog sits at a table, coffee mug on hand, as a room goes up in flames. “This is fine,” the dog assures himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been a decade since its creator put out the comic strip that spawned the meme. Web comic artist KC Green recently marked the anniversary \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/kcgreenn/status/1613583689870446592?s=20&t=YFqCjDn2I-3uLks9Ba4rew\">on Twitter\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/kcgreenn/status/1613583689870446592\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now after 10 years of using the famous dog in his comics to project his own thoughts and feelings, Green tells NPR that he might be ready for a new chapter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a fun challenge to try and embody a different character,” he said. “And I would like to try that with some of [my] other characters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He first published the work in 2013 as part of his \u003cem>Gunshow\u003c/em> comic strip. A year later, after the comic’s top two frames were posted to Reddit, the meme went viral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I remember it first being used on Instagram meme accounts, saying like, ‘When finals week starts,’ … this is fine. ‘When everyone’s yelling at you and you’re supposed to keep a smile on at your work,’ you know, this is fine,” Green said. “It kind of snowballed from there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13923606']It’s since entered the mainstream. In 2016, the Republican National Convention \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GOP/status/757687865471963137?s=20&t=PO79XqaKi456Tw2lSO_TgA\">posted the meme\u003c/a> on the official GOP Twitter account as a commentary on the first day of the Democratic National Convention. Republican Sen. Richard Burr \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4743193/senator-burr-compares-russian-interference-popular-meme\">referenced the meme in 2018\u003c/a> to convey his stance against Russian interference in American politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though his creation has taken on a life of its own, Green accepts it as a natural consequence of what it means to create content online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks his comic panel has resonated with so many people for so many years because of its simplicity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I made it vague on purpose,” he said. “Like any good piece of art, people interpret it how they want to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The canine character — whose name is Question Hound — has also been Green’s conduit for the artist’s own state of mind. Green was 25 and focusing on his mental health when he drew the famed “On Fire” strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d been trying to get my anti-depressants right and taking the meds,” he said. “That was my feeling at the time — of worrying if this was the right choice,” he added. “I believe it was now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was just like, ‘Is this OK or am I doing good? Am I supposed to ignore everything else?’ It kind of feels like you just have to ignore all the insanity around you like a burning house. And the comic just ended up writing itself after that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says his job these days is about fighting the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13920957']“I’ve still got plenty of people telling me they’ve gotten comfort from that dog,” he said. “Being seen in that way is helpful. But, I like to say, we’re not just accepting it, but working past it, trying to grow from it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green says he’s grateful that, through merch and licensing deals, the meme’s success has helped make him enough money to allow him to continue drawing for a living.

There’s laconic, hard-bitten (but not yet \u003cem>actually \u003c/em>bitten) Joel, played by Pedro Pascal, and young Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey — she may carry the future of humanity in her blood.

The series is confident enough to give two such allies — a doomsday prepper played by Nick Offerman and a sly charmer played by Murray Bartlett — the screen time necessary for us to grow emotionally invested in their fates. That confidence proves well-earned, as Offerman and Bartlett turn in the season’s highlight episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there’s plenty of scenes where our hardy heroes fight or evade the various fungi-festooned monsters dutifully reproduced from the video games — runners, stalkers, shamblers and, most memorably, clickers (whose heads have turned into toadstools, and who echolocate their prey via some seriously unnerving sound design).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='pop_104874']But \u003cem>The Last of Us\u003c/em> of is about those assorted mushroom-baddies in exactly the same way that \u003cem>The Sopranos\u003c/em> was about RICO charges.

Pascal plays Joel in the early episodes as if he’s encased his heart in his beskar steel armor from \u003cem>The Mandalorian\u003c/em>, but as his connection to Ellie grows, he starts talking more — \u003cem>risking \u003c/em>more, emotionally, in every scene — and it lands on us with a satisfying heft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramsey’s young Lady Mormont was a heartening surprise back on \u003cem>Game of Thrones\u003c/em>, but that character was written to do one thing — be a badass — and Ramsey did it well. Last year, in Lena Dunham’s \u003cem>Catherine Called Birdy\u003c/em>, she got to show us a good deal more. Even so, she’s an absolute revelation here, investing Ellie with a toughness that manages to carve out plenty of room for vulnerability, teenage silliness, the pangs of first love, grief, rage and steely resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some may balk at the series’ choice to spend so much time showing us two people learning to rely on each other, instead of throwing ceaseless hordes of CGI-enhanced fungal foes at them.

The series is confident enough to give two such allies — a doomsday prepper played by Nick Offerman and a sly charmer played by Murray Bartlett — the screen time necessary for us to grow emotionally invested in their fates. That confidence proves well-earned, as Offerman and Bartlett turn in the season’s highlight episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there’s plenty of scenes where our hardy heroes fight or evade the various fungi-festooned monsters dutifully reproduced from the video games — runners, stalkers, shamblers and, most memorably, clickers (whose heads have turned into toadstools, and who echolocate their prey via some seriously unnerving sound design).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He even dropped a few great lines like: “One minute, you’re making mint tea at home, the next, you’re invited to be the Black face of an embattled white organization.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ultimately, that was a bummer of a way to start an awards show whose original claim to fame was that it was a wild, fun party. And Carmichael never really found his groove after that awkward, biting, sometimes funny-sometimes-not monologue — telling the audience to be quiet so much, he sounded more like a hall monitor than somebody trying to encourage everyone to have a good time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9OwwVAaWFU&t=11s\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worse, some of Carmichael’s attempts at edgy humor weren’t quite funny enough to get past the edge to be entertaining. Like his joke about taking the three Golden Globes Tom Cruise returned — he gave them back in protest during the Globes’ scandals — and trading them for the wife of the Church of Scientology’s leader (critics of the church, of which Cruise is a longtime member, \u003ca href=\"https://deadline.com/2023/01/jerrod-carmichael-shelly-miscavige-scientology-tom-cruise-golden-globes-1235217193/\">have alleged she has been missing for years\u003c/a>.)

The first three winners of the night were non-white performers: Quan, Williams and Angela Bassett as supporting actress for \u003cem>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quan’s \u003cem>Everything Everywhere\u003c/em> co-star Michelle Yeoh finally got her flowers for a 40-year career navigating Hollywood’s often-terrible treatment of Asian performers and women of a certain age. “When I first came to Hollywood, it was a dream come true … until I (got) here,” she quipped, jokingly threatening to beat up producers if they tried to play her off with music before her speech was done. “Someone said to me: ‘You speak English?” … I said, ‘Yeah, the flight here was about 13 hours long, so I learned.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHpDqn0nlK8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Producer/director Ryan Murphy, accepting the Carol Burnett award for TV achievement, used his acceptance speech to highlight LGBTQ performers he had worked with who had been pressured to hide their identities, like \u003cem>Pose\u003c/em> stars Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Jeremy Pope and Billy Porter. “My mission was to take the invisible, the unloved, and make them the heroes I long to see but never did in pop culture,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, even with all these wonderful moments, there were too many great performances and projects by people of color left out — from movies like\u003cem> Till \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Nope\u003c/em> to TV shows like \u003cem>Reservation Dogs, Atlanta\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Pachinko\u003c/em>.

Early in the night, Carmichael and a few presenters seemed to take their time, eating up precious minutes and throwing the show off schedule. This forces producers to curb the amount of time winners have for their speeches so they can end the show on time for the broadcast network — even during showcase moments like Yeoh’s long-awaited win, Spielberg’s acceptance of the best film drama award for \u003cem>The Fablemans \u003c/em>or Quinta Brunson’s win as best TV comedy for the show she created, \u003cem>Abbott Elementary\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They even played off filmmakers trying to talk about the struggle for democracy in Argentina (\u003cem>Argentina, 85\u003c/em>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worse, the show had a pianist onscreen who was getting blamed for playing people off, but the music was pre-recorded and coming from the producers, as the pianist herself explained on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ChloeFlower/status/1613006017595609089\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: emotional, eloquent acceptance speeches are what viewers love and what critics like me talk about the next day. Setting up a situation where you’re rushing big winners through their moment helps no one — especially the onscreen pianist unfairly blamed for the music.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Making fun of weather emergencies is rarely wise\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Because some celebrities chose not to attend the Globes on principle — like nominee Brendan Fraser (\u003cem>The Whale\u003c/em>) — the show went out of its way to tell the audience when a celebrity wasn’t present because they were working or otherwise indisposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These announcements could lead to some suspicion and snark, including when Regina Hall made fun of the idea that inclement weather trapped \u003cem>Yellowstone\u003c/em> star Kevin Costner in Santa Barbara and kept him from accepting his award as best actor in a TV drama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Costner had released his own video on social media explaining that heavy rain had washed out the roads in his area and he truly had intended to attend the ceremony — which highlights the dangers of snarking before you know all the facts (and yes, I snarked too, until I saw Costner’s video).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/modernwest/status/1612971766116225026\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Even when his acceptance speech is just a few minutes long, Eddie Murphy knows how to bring down the house.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>To be honest, I was hoping Murphy would speak longer during his acceptance speech for the Cecil B.

C.K.’s unrepentant return is a slap in the face to all sexual harassment survivors and the kind of thing that makes Bill Cosby think it’s fine for him to return to the stage too.

Tickets to those shows are already sold out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since a whole mess of Bay Area humans are willingly giving money and attention to Chuckles McFondleshimself, now seems like a good time to revisit all of the things that C.K. did that were supposed to ruin his career, but merely delayed its progress for about five minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Get ready to grind your teeth and hide under a blanket, because everything listed here is freakin’ gross.\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Audibly masturbating in 2003 during a professional phone conversation with \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/your_friend_abby/\">Abby Schachner\u003c/a>, who subsequently cited the incident as one of the reasons she quit comedy.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Inviting comedy duo Dana Min Goodman and \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0938661/\">Julia Wolov\u003c/a> to his hotel room for a drink in 2002, then promptly taking off all of his clothes and masturbating in front of them. Neither women consented to bear witness to such a thing, and when they told other comedians, the backlash in the comedy community was against them, not C.K.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Asking actress and producer Rebecca Corry in 2005 if he could masturbate in front of her. C.K. was making a guest appearance on Corry’s TV show at the time. He was also married and awaiting the birth of his second child.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Repeatedly describing sexual fantasies and touching himself in front of a younger female colleague on \u003cem>The Chris Rock Show\u003c/em> in the ’90s.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Making light of the emotional and professional toll his indecent behavior had on all the women he exposed himself to. “I don’t like being alone, that’s all I can tell you,” C.K. said on the Grammy-winning album which shall remain nameless. “I get lonely. It’s just sad. I like company. I like to share. I’m good at it, too. If you’re good at juggling, you wouldn’t do it alone in the dark.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Making Tig Notaro (\u003cem>Tig Notaro!\u003c/em>) feel complicit in his abusive behavior. “He released my album [in 2012] to cover his tracks,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/09/arts/television/louis-ck-sexual-misconduct.html\">Notaro told the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> in 2017\u003c/a>. “He knew it was going to make him look like a good guy, supporting a woman.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Returning to the stage in 2018, one year after saying he would “step back and take a long time to listen.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/02/02/louis-c-k-joked-about-kids-getting-shot-a-parkland-father-responded-with-a-forceful-routine/\">Belittling Parkland school shooting survivors\u003c/a>. “You’re not interesting because you went to a high school where kids got shot,” C.K. said in a 2018 set. “Why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting? You didn’t get shot, you pushed some fat kid in the way, and now I gotta listen to you talking?”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Doing racist bits about how penis size correlates to ethnicity, trying to \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-louis-cks-gross-unapologetic-comeback-show-at-madison-square-garden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">make child molestation\u003c/a> funny, and continuing to use the homophobic F-word in 2021.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mocking nonbinary and trans people’s pronoun requests. “They’re like royalty, they tell you what to call them,” he said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gq.com/story/louis-ck-garbage-comeback-jokes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2018 set\u003c/a>. “‘You should address me as they/them, because I identify as gender neutral.’ Oh, OK.

But C.K. has already received breaks for years on end, as many in the comedy community willfully glossed over and ignored his flagrant harassment of women. (Reports suggest that \u003ca href=\"https://www.vulture.com/2017/11/louis-c-k-masturbation-allegations-a-timeline.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">C.K.’s behavior was an open secret\u003c/a> from about 2012 on.) C.K.’s unrepentant return is a slap in the face to all sexual harassment survivors and the kind of thing that makes Bill Cosby think it’s fine for him to return to the stage too.

Tate said the video was a “total lie” that had been edited to make him look bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On social media, Tate became a vocal supporter of former President Trump and was \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedailybeast.com/police-raid-maga-king-of-toxic-masculinity-in-human-trafficking-investigation\">spotted around Washington, D.C., \u003c/a>with prominent conspiracy theorists and on right-wing talk shows like Infowars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After styling himself as a self-help influencer for men, he was banned from Twitter in 2017 for saying women should bear responsibility for being sexually assaulted. His Twitter account was reinstated this November after Elon Musk took ownership of the platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At various points, Tate \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/08/20/1118624860/andrew-tate-facebook-instagram-banned\">has been banned\u003c/a> from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok for similarly misogynistic remarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13912473']Tate has said women belong in the home, shouldn’t be allowed to drive a car and are man’s property. He’s said he prefers to date 18- and 19-year-old women because they’re more impressionable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Tate claims to be making millions and \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ikrd/andrew-tate-hustlers-university\">peddling his life philosophy\u003c/a> to thousands through an online course and community called “Hustlers University.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For $49 a month, anyone can earn thousands per month through skills like copywriting and buying NFTs plus recruiting others to the community for a commission fee. \u003ca href=\"https://www.hustlerslearn.com/\">An ad for the course\u003c/a> claims that Hustlers University has over 168,000 active students, some as young as 13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His polemic style is particularly popular among Gen Zers. One survey conducted by the investment bank Piper Sandler this fall \u003ca href=\"https://www.pipersandler.com/sites/default/files/document/TSWT_Fall22_Infographic.pdf\">found that Tate ranked as the favorite influencer\u003c/a> among those under 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/aug/06/andrew-tate-violent-misogynistic-world-of-tiktok-new-star\">An investigation from \u003cem>The Guardian\u003c/em>\u003c/a> discovered that hundreds of Hustler University members repackage Tate clips on platforms like TikTok every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This summer, while he was banned from top platforms, \u003ca href=\"https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=Andrew%20Tate,Donald%20Trump,Kim%20Kardashian\">his name was searched more frequently\u003c/a> than Donald Trump’s or Kim Kardashian’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why is everyone talking about Tate now?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Tate and his brother, Tristan, were reportedly detained in Romania late Thursday evening on charges of human trafficking and rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.diicot.ro/mass-media/3829-comunicat-de-presa-29-12-2022\">Romania’s anti-organized crime agency released a statement \u003c/a>saying four suspects — two British citizens and two Romanians — had recruited women into their scheme, then sexually exploited them by forcing them to perform in pornography with the intention of financial gain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13886833']The statement didn’t name Tate directly, though an accompanying video of the arrest appeared to show Tate, who is British, being led away in handcuffs.

I have 33 cars. […] Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day she tweeted back, “Yes, please do enlighten me. Email me at smalldickenergy@getalife.com.” More than 3 million users liked the post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tate then \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Cobratate/status/1608212791009374208\">posted a video of himself seated in a paneled room\u003c/a>, wearing a Versace robe, smoking a cigar, describing Thunberg as a bitter “slave of the matrix” who’s trying to “convince you to beg your government to tax you into poverty to stop the sun from being hot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13887488']Midway through the video, he gestures off camera, asking someone to bring him pizza. “Make sure that these boxes are not recycled,” he quips as he sets the two pie-carrying parcels down on the table so the blue and red branding of “Jerry’s Pizza” is clearly visible to the camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the video of his alleged arrest began circling, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Esqueer_/status/1608709173684105217\">some local and international journalists\u003c/a> said that the boxes, which came from a local Romanian pie joint, were just the proof local authorities needed to confirm Tate was in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several have since walked back that claim, saying they merely made an assumption. Romanian authorities haven’t responded to NPR’s request for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that uncertainty didn’t stop Thunberg herself from weighing in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes,” she tweeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What happens next for Tate?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Tate, who moved to Romania five years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCuBlCF5-p0\">said in a YouTube video\u003c/a> that “40%” of his motivation for moving was because the police were less likely to look into sexual assault allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13844829']\u003ca href=\"https://www.gandul.ro/actualitate/anchetatorii-au-descins-in-casa-din-pipera-a-luptatorului-tristan-tate-fost-iubit-al-biancai-dragusanu-ar-fi-sechetrat-o-femeie-alaturi-de-fratele-sau-19775283?utm_source=video_homepage&utm_medium=clicks_video&utm_campaign=video\">Local media report\u003c/a>s confirmed by various U.S. outlets claim that Romanian police raided Tate’s Romanian residence once earlier, on April 11, after claims that an American woman was being held captive at the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their statement about the latest raids, Romanian authorities said the suspects would be detained for 24 hours for questioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday morning, Tate appeared to tweet about the incident, using a reference to \u003cem>The Matrix\u003c/em> that’s become a signature of his Hustlers University philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/romania-crime-bucharest-organized-human-trafficking-0b65ac32442d995e590ab70c221398a1\">The Associated Press reported a Bucharest judge extended Tate’s arrest warrant by 30 days\u003c/a>.

That’s how they keep growing. So I think if she didn’t have a sense of humor, maybe we wouldn’t connect with her as much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The song has long been popular, but started topping charts recently\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The contemporary carol’s rankings have also been helped by \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/culture/2019/12/mariah-carey-christmas-number-1-billboard-hot-100.html\">changes to Billboard’s chart rules\u003c/a> — specifically governing holiday music — over the last few decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In short, ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ has long been a smash waiting for the metrics to catch up,” Chris Molanphy \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/culture/2019/12/mariah-carey-christmas-number-1-billboard-hot-100.html\">wrote for Slate in 2019\u003c/a>. “Separately this decade, Billboard rebooted its former Christmas minichart as the Holiday 100, and ever since its launch in 2011, the Holiday chart has basically been the Mariah chart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/billboardcharts/status/1602363007828463643\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The song reached the Hot 100’s top 10 for the first time in Dec. 2017 and broke into the top five the following year. Its meteoric rise continued from there, as it’s held the top spot on the holiday charts (for two to three weeks straight) every year since 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The streak continues this year, marking the song’s ninth total week in the top spot. It expands its record for a holiday song’s most time at No. 1 (more than doubling the time that the previous leader, David Seville & The Chipmunks’ “The Chipmunk Song,” spent there in 1958 — the same year the Hot 100 launched).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carey called the news “such an amazing surprise and an early Christmas gift” in a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MariahCarey/status/1602611119276843008?s=20&t=0omQTGM8ezxgmiLlmttz0A\">celebratory tweet\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MariahCarey/status/1602611119276843008\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Carey holds the (contested) Christmas crown\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The song is ruling other Billboard charts this week too, including the U.K. Singles Chart and the Billboard Global 200.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, YouTube Music \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/youtubemusic/status/1602740136344981506?s=20&t=7JKKyPVuXTWg778MTY7EQA\">announced Tuesday\u003c/a> that the song is No. 1 on the Top Songs U.S. chart and No. 2 on the Top Music Videos chart.

"content": "\u003cp>Silky, long, straight hair and lightly tanned skin. Thin, upturned noses and puffy, pouty lips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what a typical Latina looks like, according to the viral TikTok trend “\u003ca href=\"https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2022/11/11169730/copy-paste-latina-tiktok-trend\">copy-paste Latinas\u003c/a>.” This Eurocentric stereotype ignores the diversity of a group composed of every race, body type and hair texture that exists. The trend erupted in popularity in November, with TikTokers volunteering themselves as models for this combination of exoticized facial features and heavy, glamorous makeup — a callback to the “spicy Latina” cliche.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13919834']As one of the fastest-growing demographics in the U.S., Latinos are finally solidifying their presence in popular culture. This newfound attention has its downsides: Creators are using tired tropes to ride the wave of relevance — and some are even misrepresenting themselves as Latino for clout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And although Latinidad is a cultural identity that’s uniquely difficult to define, it’s being widely appropriated as fodder for content creation. Whether it’s the popularization of aesthetics like “\u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@amsiedad/video/7117006314991029509?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&q=little%20mexican%20girl%20core&t=1670019670733\">little Mexican girl-core\u003c/a>” or Bad Bunny declaring “\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/06/arts/music/bad-bunny-un-verano-sin-ti.html\">now everyone wants to be Latino\u003c/a>,” there’s plenty of evidence the issue is pervasive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such co-opting can start with influencers and celebrities adopting styles associated with Latinidad, like large hoop earrings, or clothes inspired by the Cholo aesthetic derived from Los Angeles Chicano culture. It’s a gateway to adopting stereotypical mannerisms, ways of speaking, and attitudes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this isn’t as brazen as cultural mimicry like \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/apr/14/blackfishing-black-is-cool-unless-youre-actually-black\">Blackfishing\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/asianfishing_l_6283c26ee4b0c2dce6557958\">Asianfishing\u003c/a>, Latino-fishing — pretending to be Latino — warps what Latin culture is and who gets to create it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Latinx identity in mainstream music\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you feel you’re hearing more music in Spanish than ever before, you are. “Latin music,” a category typically associated with genres like reggaeton, dembow and bachata, has seen a surge in popularity since 2015. Revenue and streaming numbers have been climbing steadily, thanks to the commercial success of artists like Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Rauw Alejandro, Maluma and Karol G.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Categorizing so many musical styles under one term fails to recognize their variety, individuality and deep historical origins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13919253']“‘Latin music’ is a term that I really hate. I think that it flattens everything that we are about and allows for Latino-fishing to happen because the umbrella term of Latin music encompasses reggaeton and dembow, and it’s mostly misconstrued as [only] that,” says Venezuelan-American poet, writer and music journalist E.R. Pulgar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When commercial entities market “Latin music,” they overlook genres that aren’t lucrative or well-known. Selecting a handful of sounds to represent an entire ethnicity gives an inaccurate picture of who creates “Latin music,” and who listens to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you take away all of that specificity and take away all of that history, you end up with a European wearing gigantic hoops on the cover of the ‘Viva Latino!’ Spotify playlist. And no one questions it,” says Pulgar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re referring to Rosalía, a key name in any discussion of Latino-fishing. The Spanish pop star and producer has gained global success from the genre-mashing music she sings in her native tongue, blending elements of bachata, reggaeton, champeta, neoperreo and other Latin genres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The end result is the widespread misconception that Rosalía is Latina. It’s a narrative she’s had plenty of assistance in creating, including her repeated nominations and wins at the Latin Grammys, and her inclusion in Latin music roundups and playlists on streaming services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B0bKH8ehi3X/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics point to Rosalía’s use of these genres and aesthetics as appropriation, a stark shift away from the flamenco-inspired music that made her famous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘I don’t know how many times I’ve had to explain to people that Rosalía’s not Latina,” Pulgar says. “It still shocks me. Do you not hear the accent? I don’t know if it’s a lack of [understanding of] geography. I don’t know if it’s the very successful marketing of it all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2021/07/10583721/is-rosalia-latina\">In an essay for \u003cem>Refinery29\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Michelle Santiago Cortés cites other celebrities who profited from ethnic and cultural ambiguity, like Enrique Iglesias and Penelope Cruz in the late 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13918498']“We could argue that, in their rise to fame, these individuals took advantage of the work of oppressed people responsible for the Latin Explosion and expanded the audience for Spanish-language music. But that assumes that the music and entertainment industries value Black and brown people, which they do not,” she writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a more recent example, take Ariana Grande, who’s been criticized for cultural appropriation like using \u003ca href=\"https://www.newsweek.com/clip-ariana-grandes-changing-accent-confuses-fans-goes-viral-tiktok-1722049\">African American Vernacular English\u003c/a> and sporting \u003ca href=\"https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/01/223146/ariana-grande-fixed-misspelled-japanese-bbq-tattoo\">misinformed kanji tattoos\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, these corporate attempts at “coolness” have been more \u003ca href=\"https://www.vogue.com/article/the-problem-with-blackfishing-jesy-nelson\">quickly rejected\u003c/a> in the mainstream cultural conversation. Now, on uncurated platforms, misunderstandings of identity have become a trend for anyone to partake in on their social media, without a savvy audience willing to call it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The social media trickle-down\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The imitation or mockery of identity groups for attention has proved to be a consistent hit with social algorithms. With Latinos, this started \u003cem>within\u003c/em> the community, with videos centering on “hot Cheeto girls” appearing around 2020. The phenomenon painted Latina teenagers in public schools as loud, obnoxious and ghetto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Content like this was an easy win, because creators could appeal to anyone who had witnessed this stereotype. Add in trends like “copy-paste Latinas,” and you set the stage for the promotion of stereotypes and fetishization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px\" cite=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@iluvd3ft0ness/video/7158818343850659118\" data-video-id=\"7158818343850659118\">\n\u003csection>\u003ca title=\"@iluvd3ft0ness\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@iluvd3ft0ness?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@iluvd3ft0ness\u003c/a> they be so pretty bruh😩 \u003ca title=\"fypシ\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fyp%E3%82%B7?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#fypシ\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"♬ My humps - MARLEY NYC\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/music/My-humps-6765935697976134406?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">♬ My humps – MARLEY NYC\u003c/a>\u003c/section>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[tiktok]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, such public inside jokes have evolved.

Pulgar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When commercial entities market “Latin music,” they overlook genres that aren’t lucrative or well-known. Selecting a handful of sounds to represent an entire ethnicity gives an inaccurate picture of who creates “Latin music,” and who listens to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you take away all of that specificity and take away all of that history, you end up with a European wearing gigantic hoops on the cover of the ‘Viva Latino!’ Spotify playlist.

The Spanish pop star and producer has gained global success from the genre-mashing music she sings in her native tongue, blending elements of bachata, reggaeton, champeta, neoperreo and other Latin genres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The end result is the widespread misconception that Rosalía is Latina. It’s a narrative she’s had plenty of assistance in creating, including her repeated nominations and wins at the Latin Grammys, and her inclusion in Latin music roundups and playlists on streaming services.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
