i don’t think AI bands will replace real musicians but i do worry that a lot of the less showy jobs for musicians (commercial/corporate music) are going to disappear

it was said by someone like half a year ago that learning how to deliver passable if not good work under both immense pressure and short notice is actually an important part of the college experience and an incredibly useful skill and the person who said that was right

will be rotating this person in my mind for at least a week

It's scary and impoverished out there for trans folks and I'm going to have to upend my life pretty soon. My wonderful friends and bandmates put this together to help out — if you can help in anyway, with a few bucks or a share, it would make this tgirl's life a lot easier

was talking about stardew valley to my girlfriend recently who was like. huh, this is the quintessential cozy game, and i dont know if shane's character or storyline would necessarily be accepted in a cozy game today

I really do think that Taylor saw Sabrina Carpenter and Chapell Roan, realized people like songs that talk about sex in an explicit but light-hearted way, and then made the biggest series of miscalculations anyone has ever made

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

This isn’t to say they aren’t going to try to do fascism or do very dangerous or sadistic things for the sake of making content, we’re seeing that with the boats in Venezuela, but that you have to think about them as content creators first because everything makes more sense if you do.

one of my favourite quotes stopped me dead in my tracks when i first heard it. Kazuo Ishiguro said in his Nobel acceptance speech:

"But in the end, stories are about one person saying to another:
This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I’m saying? Does it feel this way to you?”

begging democrats to fight right now like portland is as important as jimmy kimmel

streaming platforms have robbed us of the randomness that used to be both an essential property of tv watching and a quality that mitigated its addictiveness somewhat. we were wholly beholden to whatever happened to be on! if we didn’t like any of it we were obligated to go do something else!

prev does anyone know if that's the same cardinal that shut down the connelly theater's programming last year

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

I often emphasize that there are rarely "silver bullets" that magically solve problems but vaccines are one of the closest things we have and it's mind-boggling and enraging to watch this "debate" unfold during my lifetime

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

waltz of the flowers goes sooooo hard he rlly did not have to put his whole tchaikussy into that but im so glad he did

we have to remember that fast food chains are a battleground for politics because the average community center in small conservative cities are fast food restaurants and that’s all they can base their personalities on

Thank you to everyone so far who has helped out my neighbor Dave!! This is a huge help and a big relief to have this support for him in a time of crisis. If you’re able to pitch in, again let me know and I’d be glad to draw art for you! www.gofundme.com/f/z82x2c-hel...
