Lay All Your Love on Me - ABBA

But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

Movie poster for "Toys" with the tagline "Laughter is a state of mind" above the movie title in a stylized font and a photo of Robin Williams as Leslie Zevo, wearing a red suit with a white shirt and black necktie and a red bowler hat with a rectangular cutout in which the image of Williams appears recursively

CNN has fundamentally misunderstood the orphan-crushing machine bit.

I love this thread, & Philip is so skilled & talented. It breaks my heart when folks say they can't [art] or they're bad artists

1. An artist is someone who feels compelled to make art & does it, & your art does not need to be marketable to be fulfilling

2. Art is a *practice*

I echo: make arts πŸ’›

But anything other than waiting for Superman might actually require some level of action from them (other than acting out at the person(s) who are engaged with reality, ofc), which is anathema to them

In order to solve a problem, one must first acknowledge that the problem exists. Such a simple and obvious axiom, and yet...

Guess it's not as simple as sticking one's head in the sand (for some)

screenshot of a tumblr post from user β€œwildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

I don't know how many of you are familiar w/ the Too Good to Go app, which allows you to find restaurants & stores in your area that are selling surprise bags of surplus food at discounted prices, but they now also have discounted foods for delivery! (Like, shipped, not like Postmates.) It's great.

Apple crumble > apple pie, for sure!

(A bit jealous of your additions of blackberry and custard, but pumpkin cheesecake ice cream and whipped cream served as pretty darn fine companions as well!)
