There was WAY too much good music in 2024 to actually rank it so here’s a giant list of what stuck with me. Albums then EPs. Joanna Wang’s Hotel La Rut was definitely my album of the year but other than that I can’t choose between all these incredible releases.

So, as part of Taylor Swift's album rollout, there was a scavenger hunt involving videos that looked *really* AI-generated. So #SwiftiesAgainstAI became a thing and now the videos are impossible to find. Fandom outrage can be good!

Problem is a lot of the time people aren’t actually vocalizing that they care about it, and often signaling the opposite by shaming activists for saying “supporting a genocide is a red line for me regardless of your party.”

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

The games industry is a little too trigger happy about changing its past via game remakes--as proven by some of the changes that appear to be coming in Yakuza Kiwami 3, writes @platanoranger.bsky.social. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

Yakuza Kiwami 3 and the Case Against Game Remakes

Yakuza Kiwami 3's changes to Rikiya is another sign that the games industry is too quick to rewrite its past through remakes.

You could read @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social’s excellent take or you could trust @rollingstone.com’s four star review given after they fired all their critics (conveniently shared in Taylor’s Instagram stories!). I’m going to choose the former and certainly did not click on the latter.

There is very rarely money in trying to make something that matters to you. But there is a lot of money in making things that are just good enough to get people to buy them. That's how we end up with Marvel movies and infinite remakes and one
thousand books about fucking vampires and bad paintings reselling for millions of dollars. If you're willing to compromise everything-to have no public morals or beliefs, to make your work palatable to everyone-there is so, so much money to be made. Of course, that compromise is going to be the version of art that corporations want made. An artist is supposed to fight against that, to try to make something good even if it doesn't make them a billion dollars. Greed will always destroy good work, because money and art have drastically different priorities. On The Life of a Showgirl, it's undeniable which path Taylor Swift has decided to value more.
