1) Using Suno is not a form of music production. 2) It's never been cheaper/easier to record music at home, using whatever laptop you already own. 3) Working class people have created much of the best music in history

I keep saying this. The Right fundamentally are *not* hypocrites. They believe in double standards. For them, double standards are correct, inevitable, and desirable, because the idea that certain groups are better than others and should therefore have more rights is the basis of right-wing ideology

been thinking a lot recently about how the zone has always been honest and benevolent to me, so i bet these ideas are going to be huge. a shame their reach has been so limited by our misguided spill containment efforts. soon everyone will understand. it would've been a crime to not break containment
