and you have to say yes over and over again because those same algorithms will take your right to say yes if you let them

it’s a fundamental truth that most things are not made for you or about you but you can’t give the algorithms the right to determine that, your discomfort is infinitely more valuable than your complacency

yah i agree v v much on that, i feel like all this is very calculated to make ever aspect of life feel lifeless and hopeless and these people need to pay for that

as always i take the long route (or word if you prefer) to any point but i do agree with you if that’s not clear

i feel like i should clarify that statement by adding that envisioning a happy present or future or a work with no relationship to this world are not what i qualify as escapism on it’s own. i think we can and should imagine joy and victory and happiness in art

i am generally of the mindset that escapism is part of the issue (as well as how we got here) and art and escapism are incompatible with one another BUT the ever present enshittification isn’t the solution to that and i think just makes it worse

im more enraged about it than anything else. it’s a constant, insufferable insult and we must claw everything back by any means necessary

oh very much agree, everything they do is an attempt to capture comfortable homogeny and every other studio fell for it like it isn’t the death of creativity

learning about how streaming services have a house style so you can watch what they produce on a phone consistently is my villain origin story

let it be known that i will also happily be a 6 nipple president

im too powerful for a third term but i will be making sure my successor knows we are working on the world’s best third genital technology in the world

in my second term i’ll make california mexico again and you can get a second sex change where we put your new genitals anywhere you want. i will be the double genital president
