Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

Leaving the tags on there though artificially blows up the stats, makes us on ilx look like we're FB users.

Yeah, it's splitting hairs a little, but Insta didn't destroy democracy. (It does feature a lot of ads for bogus scams though.)

Just use https://www.instagram.com/p/B5mdwsMAOKn/?fbclid=IsupportTheFalseDisseminationOfInformation next time and at least we'll all be honest here.

I have no idea what any of you are talking about, but I'm pretty sure I don't give a shit

new board descrip pls mods

when u post a link u should take out the facebook referrer bit which is not necessary for the link to work

xp

as PP says, facebook have largely broken democracy through ongoing direct interference, propaganda, aggressive refusal to comply with laws, and - possibly to even larger effect - the intentional eradication of local and independent news publishing. ILX itself had to shift to crowdfunding from previously being supported by adverts served to lurkers. By posting trackers longer than the url, you're wasting the time of the people you're asking to read your posts, and also attempting to turn everyone itt and ILX itself into a harvesting operation that facebook will sell, explicitly against our own interests.

It's fine for anyone to not give a shit about any of this, it's really weird for them to want people to engage in a conversation if they state that they don't give a shit about the people whom they're attempting to engage in conversation


Instagram is also owned by the Zuckernerd.

the instagram url is 40 char

Rick James, Linda Blair (semi NSFW) Saw it on fb, may be fake, I guess.

They dated for like two or three years.

Rick James began dating Linda Blair in the fall of 1982. In early 1983, she aborted their baby then informed him she had been pregnant after the procedure. James was hurt by her decision. He wrote "Cold Blooded" about Blair. "It was about how Linda could freeze my blood," he wrote in his memoir.

Ah, didn't know. Not so unexpected, I guess.

can’t think of Linda Blair these days without thinking of this:

Not a picture but two people, one fictional, that I saw in a bookshop today

My dad is a big Sherlock Holmes fanatic and has had the opportunity to hang out with Kareem on a couple of occasions as a result.

Who are they?

American singer Joni Mitchell is on the right. Dude looks like a politician.

based on the filename, I'm guessing it's Boulez

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Boulez

Thanks! I was familiar with both of those names but didn't know what they look like.

ffs

trolling

Boulez I can understand, but do you really expect us to believe that you don't know what Joni Mitchell looks like?

Oh come, on, logging in as Geir or Tuomas must be easy. All you need is to just try password 'Beatles' or 'Genesis' or 'fuckbuddy' and hey presto, you're in.

Boulez I can understand, but do you really expect us to believe that you don't know what Joni Mitchell looks like?

Why should I? Obviously I know she is a fairly well known musician, but I don't own any of her albums nor have I seen any of her music videos (if she has any?), and I've mostly come across her name in music-related books and ILM discussions where there's no photos to show what she looks like.

(i am mostly with tuomas here, but there was a massive clue in the image url. i also like the quiz aspect, so i'm torn.)

itt: anglophones baffled that a Finn may not have been exposed to the exact same mildly esoteric cultural figures as them.

a Finn who primarily listens to instrumental techno music does not recognise a photo of an old lady who wrote some medium-popular songs forty to fifty years ago

OK, Cap'n Save-a-Tuomas, he does this all the time, it's a shtick, he's not 20 anymore.

Yes, pom, Finns don't know who Pierre Boulez is, they only listen to Sibelius after all.

More like 'Finns don't know what Boulez looks like, they only hang Eero Järnefelt's portrait of Sibelius in their saunas'.

he does this all the time, it's a shtick, he's not 20 anymore.

he’s not more likely to know what she looks like 45 years after she was having hits than he was 25 years after she was having hits, tbf

If glumdal had just said who was in the photo, a helpful policy that has been the subject of some discussion itt over the years iirc, I wouldn’t have made A GIANT EMBARRASSMENT of myself by not knowing Pierre Boulez on sight

I agree that the people in the photos should always be named, I always do it. Tuomas' techno teenager from Tampere routine is just a bit silly now.

(btw I'm assuming the photo of Boulez dancing with a Womble has already been posted itt)

What's a Womble?

blimey what a palaver, i sincerely apologise. genuinely thought no one would have trouble with them

Not dancing tbf.
