Kurt Cobain was a trans woman. Most Nirvana songs are all just transgender blues music mixed pop music and punk rock. But it was all about a girl and she should have had a chance to sing unwinnable.com/2024/04/05/d...

Don’t Hurt Girls When You Dance (Or Any Other Time)unwinnable.com We may never know for sure, but I think there’s a reason that so many trans women have been able to identify with Kurt Cobain’s joy, pain and suffering, so strongly.

::gets excited:: The Arts & Crafts movement of the Victorian era was a reaction to the Industrial Revolution and the fear of losing artisanal craftsmanship and work across a wide spectrum of creative mediums. Industrialization was making mass production much easier but the downside was losing skills

OK besides this below and DEVO coming out of the Kent State massacre, what are other facts you have about the evolution of art / music /etc that wouldn't be obvious if you didn't know but, retroactively, explain and/or illuminate a LOT ?

I guess I am a food account? Chicken Tinga!

The stench of the desperation almost gives me hope that the end is near. It's like 1000 bros telling everybody the nickname they made up for themselves.

I can't remember a tech campaign this relentless.

Ladies and gentlemen, the new Sex Pistols!

Please! This would be so much more compelling, not to mention moving toward a healthier model of culture represented in the media.

I’m tired of elimination competition shows. Cooking. Glass blowing. Fashion. Whatever. Start with a smaller group and keep them all for the whole season. Watch the ok ones improve. Watch the good ones get great. Give them a ranking for each challenge but only reveal the winner.Final score at the end

To whomever needs to hear it, I did not learn, practice, struggle, fail, persevere, and sacrifice throughout my years of creativity just to serve some fucking algorithm, or to be the fodder for those that wish to kill the process. And neither did you.

Ouch. It hurts.

While you were earning enough money to retire at 44, I studied The Arts.

How appalling it is that after all these loud years of Hollywood and tech companies screaming about piracy they're willing to use your voice, your work, your entire *life*, and tell you you're standing in their way.

Here's an extra newsletter: Sam Altman is a liar, and it's time to treat him and OpenAI with outright suspicion - they lied about Scarlett Johansson, they're lying about Sora and YouTube, and they will keep lying as long as the media fails to push back. www.wheresyoured.at/sam-altman-i...

If you're sharing a clickbait post about how much fast food prices have risen based on cherry-picking a few of the largest increases off the menu, you should be aware it's part of an effort to generate public support for crushing the labor market by increasing resentment of inflation.
