people seem to take the phrase "you are not immune to propaganda" to mean that they should never engage with propaganda because it will take you over like the venom symbiote and not to just use critical thinking skills when engaging with art

people who use ai for businesses baffle me. do they not read what these produce? do they not think this is decieving customers? it makes tou look lazy and i think you deserve to fail as a business

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

bad news oomf. they just announced a new remake of you at the latest game conference. yeah you got that unreal engine 5 sheen and everything. they changed your entire voice direction and its flat and quirky now. they updated your mechanics. theyre gonna kill you if it doesnt sell one billion copies

whenever something upsets me ive started making a practice of saying things that are true so i can try to focus on that instead of negative thought spiraling but it results in me like blubbering snottily saying 'i likefriends' 'i got cake today' (but it is working)

i opened mario sunshine on nso and it opened with one of those "this product was of its time with depiction we dont agree with" warnings and followed up with a picture of toadsworth

The advice "Don't make your first project a overambitious sprawling epic" is good. The problem is that I don't think people can really learn that lesson before they ignore the advice and just do it anyways. Sometimes you have to throw the baby into the pool to teach it how to swim.
