C. L. Polk: FUCK. OFF. It can't be a heartwarming, shocking twist every season. literally millions of gifted artistic people never get a chance unless they can be poorsploited for fuckin' reality TV FUCK. OFF.

If you really want 1000 Mozarts you abolish pablumatic melody extruders and implement fully solarpunk gay socialism and let people quit wasting their days accumulating bio-survival units, you profligate assbags They're right fuckin' here working three jobs to pay rent

how many fuckin' times have you seen a four chair turn / golden buzzer vid because some dude who has been humping cargo into semi-trailers just brought the walls down in 90 seconds of song and everyone is so surprised, they never would have imagined this labourer had so much art in them, zounds

FUCK. OFF. It can't be a heartwarming, shocking twist every season. literally millions of gifted artistic people never get a chance unless they can be poorsploited for fuckin' reality TV FUCK. OFF.

AFUCKINGMEN. The amount of geniuses, absolutely brilliant people, I met when homeless, I will never forget. Einstein is at your local library with his pack and sleeping bag, waiting for someone to come and play chess with them, and nobody can remember that homeless person EVER losing a game. FFS

Worst part about it is, after those folks get “discovered” on tv their career is effectively over. The business treats them like radioactive waste because there’s another season to promote and nobody’s got time for yesterday’s news.

This dude created Captain Planet. I don’t know what to tell people. Get power. Create art that spreads your idea. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Tur...

I've never seen "Ted Turner" connected with the term "artist" before. But then, I never saw the son of a billboard magnate equated with someone working 2 or 3 jobs to pay rent, either.

I am on SSI and I vote. Hi. Captain Planet was good. Thanks for playin

I am definitely poorer than you if that is the game we are playing. I am good at the eternal poverty card.

I didn't know your post was about you. I thought it was about Ted Turner. Are you Ted Turner? Thanks for playing Ted Turner.

Sounds like a plot line from Black Mir--Oh. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen...

I read this and then heard a spot on BBC news hour on WNYC about a Nigerian teenager who was brought to England to study ballet after a video of him went viral. Like exactly this thread. 🤷🤷🤷🤷
