Which I think is a good sign they are really losing the cultural battle.
Also that last part is absolutely not true. Every artist hates a bunch of people sometimes including close friends of theirs.

Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

God will never give you more than you can handle, unless you were born in the wrong place or don't have money. That makes god super mad.

—why can’t a librarian find it?!
This lady was adamant. She definitely remembered because the chat thing her son showed her how to use reminded her.
It’s planting memories. Of course it is! Human memory is fallible, and she’s been led to believe this is a trustworthy thing.

Friend starts searching everywhere, finds nothing. She has done children’s services for years, so finding zero trace at all is pretty unusual. She calls the lady, who immediately starts yelling that she was trying to remember so she typed it into a certain chat service and it reminded her, so—

Talking to a librarian friend back home, she mentions a patron looking for help finding a book she liked as a kid. Super common request.

"Honey, Don't!" is now the second Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke movie that I heard was terrible and found it to be just fine and actually pretty entertaining. I think viewers just prefer his movies with his brother and with no sex.

Suggestion has been made that this 'a chaste kiss, eventually' is the writer referencing how queer romance used to be handled as warning not to expect that, rather than an argument for it

Are any politicians running on a "We gotta start stacking these fascists like fucking cordwood" platform?

I'm also reminded of a study that found that men in university who were accused of rape were actually HELPED ACADEMICALLY by the accusation, because universities gave them so goddamned many extra resources and accomodations. Poor little birthday boys helped through THEIR difficult time.

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

He never really tried to convince anyone he felt bad about what he did. He sells out shows. He's publishing a novel. He has tons of money. So what this piece wants to convey is that it's not fair that he isn't universally lauded.

Plus he's an unrepentant sexual abuser and a lying scumbag.
Since Louis CK is in the news again, it's worth restating that he never gave an honest accounting of his sexual misconduct—his initial "apology" and his subsequent statements have been contradicted by the testimony of his victims, and contained elisions and gaps intended to exonerate him.
