This isn't a writer, nor an artist. She is a producer at best, because her aim isn't art, or writing. It's a pursuit of a product, of a result, and for that reason it is not artistic.
The only way we can push back against this is to call it what it is (garbage) and treat it as it deserves.

When anyone questions the validity of voting, I always recall that the primary group in my lifetime that has made the most effort to stop people from voting is the GOP.
Voting is not an action that's mutually exclusive to any other form of political action. It's also easy, and powerful.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

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

The Bulls have found a way to lose harder in a trade after the trade deadline.
True innovators, these guys.

The Bulls and Hornets amended the Coby White trade after a physical showed White had a left calf injury and would have to miss time, league sources tell @theathletic.com. Hornets are now sending two second-rounders (2031 NYK, 2031 DEN) to Chicago instead of three.

Random FB thread my wife saw, asking the question: “If you could tell Donald Trump three words and three words only, what would they be?”
After considering catharsis (Fuck you, shitbag), she pivoted to “how can I hurt this man as much as possible,” and she found the best answer:
“Who are you?”

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is absolutely worth your time. It's very good, and if you have a sour taste from GoT I'd recommend it even more.

the only upsides to the flurry of Bulls deadline activity:
- I get to see that approximately 0% of fans are OK with this franchise
- I actually like Jaden Ivey
- I get to say the name Guerschon Yabusele on a regular basis

The Bulls have made all the trades they should have made years ago, so they get minimum returns. We don’t know what they got for Ayo yet and I’m just sure it isn’t enough.

I'd have comments on all the trades but I'm at a work offsite so just capsules
what the fuck Jazz, what are you doing
Bulls didn't have to pay any picks to get rid of the LaVine/DeRozan/Vooch trio. Weirdly, a win.
