my friends and i have started saying "should we invite Saint Peter?" when someone misuses the term "gatekeeping" in defence of AI in arts spaces
Oh are there "gatekeepers"? Are they keeping gates? Can you show me the gates?

"No one's sure why" because we have perfectly good computers sitting around that can't upgrade to Windows 11 and all the new hardware costs too much that's why
it is, at long last, the Year of Linux on the Desktop. www.techspot.com/news/113326-...
Imagine being this proudly incompetent
Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
Sometimes people are like anyone can fall into a cult but like, I’m pretty sure I’m not gonna. Watch this space
yeah i guess you could say i'm the black sheep of the family (only Beach Boys fan)
Gotta say, I'm getting a lot of "I can't believe a women is speaking out of turn" vibes off the response to Emily Wilson not liking a movie very much
One of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.
i've never used AI to read, write, or research in any capacity because i enjoy reading, writing, and researching so i'd be sad if AI did it instead of me. also because AI is a plagiarism machine that's terrible for the planet. also because it's constantly incorrect and rots your brain. also because-
I truly feel for kids growing up now who will have to unlearn using AI, but if you've been writing for more than 2 years it is the easiest thing in the world to just Keep Doing The Thing You Did and ignore AI tools!! It makes me feel crazy that people act like this isn't the case!!!
it's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun
Ok which one of you did this? Because it's the best comment we've ever gotten.
This is a news story designed to destroy my soul, specifically. I am just going to choose to forget I ever saw it and continue hating these companies for all the other, more emotionally manageable reasons
No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

i still just really feel like AI stuff is basically illegal. like I don't think a good faith interpretation of "fair use" entails vacuuming up everyone's intellectual property to build your chat bot. that sounds wrong to me
“she didn’t like a part that i thought was fine/interesting” okay. you’re different people
"ok emily wilson's film criticism isn't wrong but she's being pedantic and annoying" damn okay i already supported her perspective but now i'm supporting her character even more
This is an excellent addition to the ongoing discussion of Gen Z’s romantic proclivities. Thanks for writing it for us, @lola.nebula.tv!

feeling a profound connection to this little Quiplash creature as of late
they're calling it my I Don't Know James Rolfe (one person did but that's good enough for me)
finally available on YouTube 💚 youtu.be/cRrVhUP62wM?...
a "brat Credit Card?" they gave her a "brat Credit Card?" they had the BALLS to give one of the GREATEST POPSTARS OF ALL TIME, A "BRAT CREDIT CARD?"
also, i do find it funny how video essayists are stereotyped as "angry" all the time just because we write persuasive essays that include rhetorical arguments. 95% of the video essayists i've met are mild-mannered, considerate, very normal folks who just want to enthuse about their interests.
this is phenomenal and honestly mirrors my feelings on Music Fashion Film how countercultural can a pop star really be? and at the same time, is that limitation what makes the moments of sincerity work?

my new video, "the charli xcx movie tells the truth. even when it's lying." is now available on Patreon and Nebula. it's about Charli xcx's new film The Moment (2026) and why i loved it... despite itself. just know there's lots of different nuances to you and to me.
