in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

Despite everything, I did some great reading last year, most of it was by Elizabeth Taylor. (Not included, The Soul of Kindness which I read on Kindle)

Wenn der Außenminister im „Bericht aus Berlin“ sagt, dass die Rede von Rubio verbindend gewesen sei und insbesondere den kulturellen Aspekt betont habe, dann meint er damit White Supremacy.
Was für schreckliche Zeiten uns bevorstehen.

Marco Rubio spricht von einem europäischen „Schuldkult“, fordert die Abkehr davon, und alle europäischen Spitzenpolitiker und Eliten stehen auf und applaudieren.
Europäische Rechte und Rechtsextreme können ihr Glück kaum fassen.

Heated Rivalry shows us that the most transportive, visionary, speculative future isn’t one that looks different from our reality. It’s one that feels different. It’s a difference that we as the audience can feel as if we’ve already lived in that world too.
Heated Rivalry and the Art of Anti-Dystopia
Joy in the present makes joy in the future seem plausible.

I have seen Wuthering Heights and would best describe it as pornographic strictly in the sense that its best feature is its reliance on visually stimulating colors and shapes

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.
The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Vor ein paar Wochen habe ich einen Text darüber geschrieben, dass das Missbrauchen von Kindern durch reiche Menschen lange Tradition hat
Wir sollten uns der Tatsache stellen, dass es zu unserer Kultur gehört, schwerste sexuelle Gewalt zu dulden.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

art is already democratized bcuz artists spent the entire past century creating forms where technical skill doesn't matter so as to welcome anyone's contribution into canon but everyone hated this idea bcuz theyre scared of egalitarianism. better 2 consolidate art in the hands of capital i guess!
