I had no clue who that fucker was before he shot Meg. I didn't know anyone speaking of him or hyping up his music, and then after the shooting, he was suddenly one of the best new artists to a bunch of incels crying about how a woman lying on him ruined his rise to the top. These folks were living in a whole other parallel universe.

It irks me how many references I don't get because I haven't watched Magnolia yet. I really need to make time to watch it in the next month or two. -

How many times have I watched that damn movie to know the scene they're quoting from the first couple of lines? I don't even know why these Cinderella Story movies got a grip on me like they do. -

Don't turn off the faucets, don't turn off the faucets... -
Naw, a mediocre ass artist like him can't rock a name like Daystar. He probably knew that on a subconscious level and picked a basic name that kept expectations of his work realistic.

and fuck that motherfucker! https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/23/arts/music/tory-lanez-megan-thee-stallion-verdict.html "A Los Angeles jury on Friday found Daystar Peterson, the Canadian rapper better known as Tory Lanez, guilty of shooting a fellow artist, Megan Thee Stallion, in both of her feet following an argument about their romantic entanglements and respective careers in the summer of 2020. Mr. Lanez, 30, was convicted of three felony counts: assault with a semiautomatic handgun, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. He faces more than 20 years in prison and could be deported. Jurors reached a verdict after about seven hours of deliberation across two days, following a trial that lasted nearly two weeks. Mr. Lanez, who had been free on bail during the trial following a period of house arrest, was immediately taken into custody. Sentencing was scheduled for Jan. 27."

Janelle Monáe is distractingly pretty. I can barely hear the dialogue when she's onscreen like STOP IT with your perfect face and skin! -
Yeah, Buddy is right. I should have just said, "Shut the fuck up," and kept it moving.

He's gonna hit that billion mark and there'll be like at least 8 Avatar movies. Goddamn you all 😭. -
There isn't going to be a civil conversation if you don't step out of this fairy tale mindset. You have no empathy and just gush over how advances solely made to steal art and is fucking over artists is just so fan-fucking-tastic. Who the fuck that's ever taken their art seriously wants to hear that shit? AI art on top of massive layoffs was a curbstomp to artists when they were already down this year. Now their efforts are diminished by people who put their names into prompts and brag about how they have that's artist's work without paying for it(bonus dickhole points when they tag the artist too).

I forgot to comment on this. Bruh, you've been demeaning as hell to artists by making blanket statements about them in your posts. Don't throw heat out there if you can't take it.

I'm not giving that clicks and fuck Evil Wizard Bitch. Ghiblifying popular media has been a thing, so meh.

I have no idea how far you think AI art has gotten, but it's not some mythical creature you seem to think it is. It has no actual independent thought. All it's doing is putting out collages of artwork that have mostly been used without permission. It's why it keeps creating fucked up hands and eyes. It can't think and figure out their purpose. Many artists create billions of interpretations of how they should be drawn, so there's nothing consistent in the data gathered. And it's not harmful just because it takes jobs, it can also be harmful because it can make people lazy. Tor, one of the best Fantasy publishers out there and usually has consistently beautiful covers, has started to use AI art(which was recognized on sight because of how fucked up it looked). Right now, it's a couple instances, but it will grow and the beauty in their covers will disappear. AI writing programs are definitely improving, but I have no interest in them either. Some people will flock to them, but my stories stand out and other authors' work too because our personal experiences are in them. The same thing with art. I don't care what AI will come up with because it will never feel like mine. My ugly art, my so-so art, and my best art locked in a drawer because I can't stand to be reminded of how much skill I lost while being inactive for over a decade are all MINE. Gunstar brought up great points about being a chef. I will never reach that level, but learning how to cook has been fun and I'm so proud of my achievements even if they are small. In writing, food, art, and other stuff, I don't want to just copy another person's technique. I want to learn. I see nothing in AI art as it presently exists that will let me do that.

"I love my son and I'm devastated by my daughter's death. BUT! You know what makes me feel good? This box of Snoop cereal!" That man is going straight to hell. -
Those sites used a bunch of stolen art and users even mass targeted artists who didn't want anything to do with them, so yes, she's correct. Those sites could have went about this in a way that paid artists and gave them credit, but they chose not to and caused a lot of drama. I'm not twisting folks hands to stay away from those sites because what's really gonna matter are the court cases right now. But, pretending these sites(how they were created to steal work) aren't harmful to artists, just sounds like denial.

You know what, I agree with the blogs. Meg shouldn't have lied to the cops at first. She should have taken her chances and let them two fuckers get turned into swiss cheese. Nothing of value would have been lost. -

English is already an annoying language, so I see no point in complicating it further with exercises like this. I'm happy this wasn't a thing at my school either. -

Being nosy in Twitter employees' subtweets is fun. -
Barbies were the only girly shit I was into because they gave me the ability to have a long running Young and the Restless spinoff in my bedroom while I avoided all the kids who wanted to whoop my nerdy ass outside. Their vintage outfits also probably contributed to me liking fashion back in the day and considering being a designer for some years. I do like nostalgic movies like this when it doesn't feel like the goal is to shit on people who liked what the movie's based on.
