On Ballet: Fran Lebowitz and Nick Mauss | Live from the Whitney
YouTube video by Whitney Museum of American Art

this was my old pinned post on Twitter, Fran Lebowitz is one of the best to ever do it, just the clearest and most powerful articulation of my beliefs about the arts and their relationship with criticism i've ever seen from another person

the majority of works in any fetish, no matter how extreme, are cishet. This is, for once, not an attack on cishets but a call for queer people to be freakier and kinkier

I guess to summarise, news designers only need to be themselves -- but they can't be controversial in ways that don't fit into a mass-approved label, and they can't be poor, and they can't be disabled/unwell, and they can't not be marketable, and they can't depend on their work.

Discussion in this space ADORES using the metrics of capitalism to measure success: downloads, sales, views, attention, clout. And yet none of those qualities touch on whether art is has reached an audience, whether design is fair, whether works will be timeless.

Like every other form of art in the global west right now, if you don't have an inheritance, rich family/friends, a well-earning partner, or a high paying job (usually related to tech, which is propped up by military spending, genocide tech, AI, etc), then you will struggle to work and reach people.

What's the flavour of the current era of TTRPG design? Social Media Refragmentation? Is it a consolidation cycle? What are the new upcoming designers struggling with and against now?

to heal this broken nation, we MUST devise a breakfast cereal that HELPS you jerk off
in america during the second great awakening the women joined apacolyptic cults awaiting the destruction of earth and the men started inventing breakfast cereals that would stop them from jerking off so much and you can see how from there we got here

People are calling this “lazy” which I think is kind of missing what’s going on here. Increasingly convinced that the comparable technology, in how it interacts with the human nervous system, is the slot machine.

You would think if piracy was such a tangible scourge that we would be SWIMMING in readily available proof that shows that pirates cost creators X% of sales, that we would never, ever stop having that data shoved into our faces and screamed from the rooftops. Doesn't happen

Another good question nobody ever has an answer to: what is the exact amount of money that piracy costs creators? Not "what do you IMAGINE it is," what is the actual proven dollar value, percentage, etc that piracy costs creators. Show your work. Weirdly, nobody ever has an answer to this!

BREAKING: RealPage is suing New York, challenging a new state law that bans landlords from using algorithms to set rents.
RealPage claims that its software, which landlords have used to collude on rents, is protected by the First Amendment.

the author of this blog is basically going "grumble grumble leftists were right about everything but said it in terms of moral outrage instead of numbers fuckstein, but numbers fuckstein is what proves they're right" and he's wrong about the social dynamics of altruism, but still some insight there
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

It's so interesting that the AI boosters have popped up asking if Bluesky is ready to accept the good word of prophet Sam Altman yet, at the EXACT time that the timeline is lit up with the "OpenAI says they can't be blamed for driving a teen to suicide because the TOS says you can't kill yourself"

"if Toriyama were on the Epstein List" bro that's just Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro and probably Eiichiro Oda
Someone defending their ability to love Harry Potter without supporting JK Rowling saying “if Toriyama was on the Epstein list, people could still love Dragon Ball”
1) that’s a hell of a hypothetical to suggest
2) based on how people reacted to Neil Gaiman this last year, I don’t know if I agree.
