good of example of the way that Gen Ai harms art is not through really replacing capital a Art but by replacing human slop with robo slop, and the dirty secret is that slop pays the bills and subsidizes actually good art.
fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is on CNN talking about “repealing section 230” so as a reminder: repealing 230 will destroy freedom of expression as we know it. It means more censorship, suppression & mass surveillance. This is bad, don’t let a B-list actor convince you otherwise. Call your representatives!

Dude treated artists like AI treats artists now before generative AI was a thing. We were just there to create content for him to use so he could win an Emmy on our hard work.

He also exploited tons of artists with his crowdsourcing disaster called HitRECord. Refused to delete our accounts and all or work belonged to them once uploaded. Some of us got paid but with checks we couldn't cash since they were such a small amount, ect. ect.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has also been promoting Heritage Foundation collaborator Jonathan Haidt, who promotes the trans contagion conspiracy theory (basically the internet is turning your kids trans so we need KOSA). And Joseph Gordon-Levitt is selling this to liberals! www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6wR...

Hi recently there have been 2 Megans and one of them is like ok we MUST hustle a bunch to find composing work for after our current film scoring project is done because we need career momentum and also we are broke and the other is like NO we must use that energy for Divinuet. So here’s the plan:

For the past few Bandcamp Fridays I’ve been a little self conscious posting about it, since I haven’t released any new music in awhile. However! People are always super cool and nice and supportive, and I’m very grateful 💚

So pls check out my music. It may not be new, but I’m still very proud of it

Realizing I haven’t released music in a year and a half has me really itching to make a new EP or something. As if I don’t have enough going on!!! Smh

okay fine i can be less self-deprecating about it because that's what grownups do

here is some of my music which can be bought. as it is bandcamp friday, this would be an optimal time to buy it, as i receive a greater profit than usual. you may find something of worth here as An Escape From It All!

Please go listen to “The Snow Sparkles from a Safe Distance”—it is absolutely magical—and support some musicians today for Bandcamp Friday.

would you like a bunch of great bandcamp friday recommendations and a side of blog post about the state of being an independent musician? I got you covered

granted I wrote this for the december bandcamp friday, it's still 100% relevant and worth your time (plus there are fun pictures)

It's been five years; what have we learned? (Plus some photos and album recs)

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

One thing you should know about me is that I don’t actually know how to write music. I just put some notes together in ways that sound good and export an audio file and say “that’s music” and everyone believes me

One suggestion I have for you is to try scrambling leftovers with some eggs

It works with more things than you might think

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and I want to use that follower count for some good today. If you are a Black creative, QRP with your links.

Note: this one is for Black folks to share their work. Not self appointed allies and performative list making of Black folks to follow & support UwU!

This is something that lives in the back of my mind basically 24/7.

They don’t see us as fully human, not really. We’re just objects that exist for their sexual gratification
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Would yall want to hear the before and after? Would learning a bit about how and why I decide to change a thing musically be interesting to you?
Devastated to announce that I'm good enough at music to have realized that one of the instruments I had chosen for Divinuet's music layer building section didn't work very well and figured out an instrument that sounds a million times better and now I have to redo some stuff
