Personally, few things cut deeper as an artist than having your work referred to as Content.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Wanna know what kills me?

American racism is so strong and pervasive that it caused a FRENCH studio to shutter a game w/ what wouldve been a black protagonist dealing w/ themes that they've previously addressed. That's wild.

Would it have been handled well? We'll never know but thats not the point

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

i wrote a 20 page paper that was essentially my capstone for my entire degree in college on one saturday by locking myself in a study room with some chips and a few coca colas. Wrote the whole thing in 8 hours and turned it in essentially unchanged. Got an A.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.

Paperback Paradise @paperbackparadise.bsky.social · 1d

Photo of a vintage book cover featuring Dracula dropping gold coins onto his pile of gold coins, he’s smiling as he clearly is a greedy individual. A full skeleton lays on the pile of gold, perhaps it is one of his girlfriends. A naked woman looms in the background for some reason. Copy and title read:

HOW DID DRACULA GET RICH?

Dracula made a fortune off of Frankenstein's feet without his permission and he is a disgusting piece of garbage for that

Same thing they did with chemical processing plants, and waste disposal in it an neighborhoods. Hmthey seek out poor black folks because people will listen to them the least. Poor people are always a target, but black and poor makes you more expendable to the rich.
