i do not understand why "cash-strapped fans" are willingly buying the most expensive and niche version of new music products. I always understood vinyl records after the 1980s as a luxury fad, almost a scam in itself. Making it a full scam is still completely unethical and typical of 2026 capitalism

It’s the year’s worst pop trend: fans paying the highest price to pre-order what is ostensibly the most desirable, collectible or elaborate edition of an album are instead receiving incomplete or unpolished versions of the music.

In Raye’s case, the singer tried to offer a positive spin, joking to Zane Lowe that the almost-finished vinyl could become a collectible. But cash-strapped fans aren’t seeing the funny side. “It’s fair to assume when you’re buying a record that it’s the final recording,” wrote one person on Reddit, in a comment typical of dozens posted to the site. “I ride for Charli, I love her as an artist, but a bait-and-switch isn’t cool.”

my biggest problem with modern film making is trying to systematically prevent critics from trying to seem smarter than the movie; not putting anything silly or unusual in the film without pointing out that it is silly. Presumably that is interesting to some viewers but i am never going to enjoy it.

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

i do not understand the fundamental assumed appeal of "ai assistant"s because whenever i am using a program and start to feel like it is doing whatever it feels like (because my hands are on the keyboard irregularly perhaps and i get a prolonged series of incorrect actions), that is infuriating

i keep thinking of the moron who spent all his money and endured personal injury to build a statue of someone he dislikes because he assumed he could sell the thing. i have so many people like that in my life, who think creativity only has value if it homages what it is presumed popular. depressing

Furnari said he did not agree with Kirk on “certain issues”.

“I wasn’t a fan of Charlie,” he said. “Like one thing that I couldn’t stand about him while he was alive [was] when he was talking about Palestine. [Kirk would say]: ‘Oh no, Palestine doesn’t exist.’ I thought: ‘Well, this guy must be out of his mind.’”

Instead, Furnari said he made the statue in an effort to “glorify and to exercise the first amendment, this freedom of speech” – although at points during the conversation, Furnari also said he made it to support Charlie Kirk’s wife; to “glorify democracy”; and to “commemorate a person”.

i think i "like" art-fight because i can indicate which characters i DO want drawings of and omit the ones i am more particular about, but still include notes about my minorer particularities on the few that i do want, even if i didn't always do that soon enough. The POTENTIAL was always there.
