“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy
yes, be smart, be strategic, be careful, but don’t tie yourself in knots trying to exercise your civil liberties in a way that will appeal to the least satisfied guy on the computer

One way to win the economic competition with China would be to make apps that don't suck shit. Have you considered that

If I remember correctly, Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys was in the crowd for this show and Charlie pointed him out to me in the crowd and I got REALLY NERVOUS
This might be Lynch’s greatest achievement. It’s almost an anti-art school philosophy, in that he had no desire to explain or attach a conceptual one-sheet to his films. Saying nothing is alway better.
Minovsky@minovskyarticle.bsky.social · 2y agoIf there's anything I hope young creatives take from David Lynch, it's to reject the modern IP-driven impulse to explicitly explain and cleanly categorize the logic behind every single event and decision inside and outside of a story at least some of the time.
It’s so funny to hear all the uh (so so sorry for this) turbonormies co-opt “one-shotted”, a term that likely came from World of Warcraft players during the second Bush administration

Keep playing your guitar. Keep painting that sunset. Keep writing that screenplay. Even at the level of hobbyist you are richer than these people could ever dream of in ways they will never, ever have. They know it, so should you.
Shiv Ramdas Mens Rice Activist@nameshiv.bsky.social · 2y agoAs someone who has spent more time with very rich people than anyone with good sense should, I dunno how to tell you this but there is no group that despises you and also wants to be you and also despises themselves for wanting to be you at this level, not even close

I have never been this angry reading a book about music before. Genuinely believe we’re going to reach a breaking point when this book comes out, either you care about music or your care about hyper-personalized audio content.
The Tonearm@thetonearm.com · 2y ago"We know that Big Tech and Spotify have reshaped music listening – and at a cost. But that impact is often hidden inside a black box, closely guarded by its masters’ secrecy and mythmaking. Liz Pelly is one of the few who managed to get inside that black box and her upcoming book will be essential."
