*laughs in having dumped Spotify YEARS ago and you should too*

Tidal isn't perfect but it pays musicians more for the same monthly price.

Art friends: Here's a tip for getting rid of *a lot* of the AI slop in your Pinterest feed.

⭐Go into your account settings.
⭐Click the "Refine your recommendations" tab.
⭐Click the GenAI Interests subtab.
⭐TURN OFF EVERYTHING.

So far, my feed is *significantly* cleaner.

Screenshot of the Pinterest settings menu. The option "Refine your recommendations" is circled.

Screengrab of the Refine Your Recommendations tab in Pinterest's settings. The subtab GenAI Interests is circled.
Below, all options have been turned off.

Google translate doesnt even work right half the time what the FUCK makes them think an AI can handle that???

The Bookseller @thebookseller.com · 1d

The 2025 Frankfurt Book Fair heard that developments in AI audiobooks mean publishers will no longer have to decide whether to translate a book, but instead just choose which market to translate into 👇 #FBM25

AI audio means publishers ‘don’t have to choose whether to translate, only which market’, FBF hears

This.

The last thing you should be doing is putting your name on a protest list for this administration.

Show up anonymously if you're going to show up. Protect yourself.

"He looks like--" Stop.
"They remind me of--" No.

It does cost $0 to not compare someone's work to some mainstream media that you like. If you are commenting on someone's art and talking more about something else ENTIRELY, you are likely frustrating that artist a LOT.

Stop doing it. Right now.

Oh you can just FEEL the amount of "meh. Its a paycheck." wafting off the animation in this one! It barely moves! Why have simplified designs if youre not going to use it to your advantage?

Mal: Only child and it shows
Maho: has a younger sister. Well. HAD a younger sister.
Ari: four siblings; one significantly older brother and a set of slightly older triplets.
Keyla: only 👏 child 👏 and it shows 👏

But
2. Respect boundaries people have for their characters

Misgendering/deadnaming someone because theyre a jerk says nothing about them. But it tells me youre also a jerk.

🍉 PHOXARTS 🎃🦊 @phoxarts.gay · 7d

fun fact: on an early episode of the Trailer Park Boys podcast, even Ricky defended Caitlyn's right to identify as a woman and transition, and correctly gendered her and didn't deadname her

if Ricky LaFleur- and therefore Robb Wells- can do this, then y'all can too.

meme of Ricky from Trailer Park Boys, a older white male with a greaser style pomp haircut, angled side burns and a mustache and goatee, with a cigarette in his mouth

bottom text reads:
"IT DOESN'T TAKE ROCKET APPLIANCES."

(Ricky is known for getting sayings wrong, in this instance it's a quote of him meant to say "it doesn't take rocket science")

Losing it just a little bit
Hyperfixation is great for a few specific methods of productivity but it also reaches boiling points where your brain gets legitimately angry if youre not actually indulging its nonsense and that where im at right now. Mental zoomies, essentially.
