Love all the folks I talked to here but this place is legitimately going to kill me if I'm on it any longer. Please follow me on Instagram if you want to follow my music. I'm out, goodbye everyone, this was fun until it really wasn't.

I'm done. I can't do this anymore. The people who run this goddamn website are just as broken and apocalypse-thirsty as the other ones. I'm logging off forever. Go over to Instagram which is probably the last place I'll be before they decide trans people shouldn't exist too.

Oh my fucking god people are getting assaulted in the streets by ice agents on camera and you want us to cry for the dignity of fucking code, you're all deranged

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok

i’m completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron

Can't believe she actually said this shit

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Out on tour with The Smashing Pumpkins Nature kids, I, they don't have no function I don't understand what they mean
And I could really give a fuck
The Stone Temple Pilots, they're elegant bachelors They're foxy to me, are they foxy to you?
I will agree they deserve absolutely nothing
Nothing more than me

You could maybe set these lyrics to the music from the anti drug album McGruff the Crime Dog made and it'll probably have the same effect.

stumbled across real lyrics to an actual new Taylor Swift song and boy, that's a bold strategy, Cotton. let's see if it pays off.

Daniel Ek stepping down changes nothing for the artists boycotting Spotify

Artists aren’t rushing back to Spotify just because Daniel Ek changed his title.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags

Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

A lot has been written about the emptiness of Taylor Swift and I'm glad more is continuing to be written.

Being passionate about Taylor Swift is like being passionate about Bed, Bath & Beyond. There's nothing there. Just marketing and brand identity and hollow, acquisitive greed.

You eat a coffee for lunch

Comfortably Numb @numb.comfortab.ly · Sep 5

Saw this ad recently

Black-and-white image of a woman with long, tousled dark hair, looking directly at the camera. Overlaid white text reads: “YOU EAT A COFFEE FOR LUNCH. YOU FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR FOLLOW THROUGH. SLEEP DEPRIVATION IS YOUR DRUG OF CHOICE. YOU MIGHT BE A DOER.” Below the text is a green circle with the word “fiverr” in white, and underneath it, smaller white text reads: “IN DOERS WE TRUST.”

It's time for poetry

10/4

The thing about a treacherous god
Is the amount of trust needed to get them up there
In that position in the first place

Only then can they trust fall back and flatten Wisconsin or Mozambique or The Brewery on Hillsborough Street or whatever other
Great pillar made by man or something worse

In reality the fuse was lit before any of us could pronounce "gunpowder"

Our heads crash against the pavement and our friends say "my thumb was covering the lens, try again"
