Creating is cringe. You don't get to start off good. You start off shit. And worse still, exposed. Your whole self is on display. Whether it's dancing, writing, singing, whatever. Before you get good, there's just an earnest person trying. And that's fine. Feed that person.

Just thinking about how the laptop about Grenfell was lost, and Windrush cards were scrubbed, and how as the UK left their former colonies they destroyed the evidence of their worst atrocities under Operation Legacy. A refusal to reckon with the past is official policy here.

What happened to me? My parents took me to the airport two hours early, where we would proceed to leisurely grab a meal and relax, safe in the knowledge we couldn't miss our flight. So I kept doing that shit.
People who go to the airport two hours early, what happened to you as a child?

She's fascinating because she's a perfomer in a mold that doesn't exist anymore and is legitimately a great actress. That she is such a bad singer only adds to the old school Hollywood of it all. She is a STAR and it simply doesn't matter that she's bad at one of her threats.

There is no double standard here. Blackface is part of one of the central tenets of white supremacy. Specifically, hearkening back to minstrelsy in which white performers would exaggerate black features as a way of dehumanising 'the other'.

Instagram choosing to penalise videos with the TikTok watermark is a really interesting example of their overconfidence. Between that and their largely decried redesign of the app to prioritise e-commerce, it's clear they're not especially concerned with user experience.

I think about this a lot. A lot of us have decided that we have free license to be cruel on Twitter because we 'don't have a platform', but It's worth remembering that this site is not gossiping with your friends behind closed doors.
@Beavs
From their perspective, they’re a “small account” and therefore can’t hurt “big artists” but every tweet shows up in the same font size and reads at the same volume on here, whether you @ somebody or not—and receiving one gut punch is very different from 9000+ for weeks on end.

I think the disdain I feel — we all feel — towards the AI people is that they want the joy of discovery that comes through the creation of art. But have no desire to invest in an actual craft. And so delude themselves into thinking that their "inputs" are a skill.

Despite it being an excellent song (easily 1 of the best on the 20:20 experience. Arguably 1 of the only good ones), it rang false. He clearly wasn't talking about Jessica Biel (who is gorgeous, but not thicc) and with the realisation, years of 'Urban' cosplay caught up with him.

Truly. I feel like I keep meeting unhappy people or at least frustrated people, and it always feels like at the root they're terrified of being cringe and it's keeping them from TRYING. So they're missing out on all these things that would make them happy. Just try it. Be cringe.

To describe Grime as American rap music with English accent shows that you not only misunderstand Grime and its origins but Hip-hop, too. It takes only a cursory glance at its roots to see that Grime and Hip-hop exist as two offshoots of Jamaican soundsystem and DJ culture.

When iTunes, Netflix, and Spotify rose to prominence it was because they offered a convenient, inexpensive alternative to illegally pirating. If every network is hellbent on siloing their content, and charging a premium, what's to stop us raising the cyber jolly roger again?

White Supremacy is so deeply ingrained into the fabric of western civilisation that the British Empire can be described as a 'civilising' project and nary an eye will be batted.
Nigel Biggar is spending FIVE YEARS on the “Ethics and Empire project” where he will rationalise the death of millions of our ancestors due to TRAINS and imposition of the British political system against indigenous people’s will.
