tbh what i hate about voting the best people off on drag race is that we're robbed of like more entertaining moments from those queens and all we're left with are the mid queens

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.
AI art bros are big mad about it.

re-listening to tune-yards and remembering how good their first three albums were. finally listening to sketchy too and digging it so far. it's sad they kind of fell off the radar and that their audience fell off (myself included) after i can feel you creep into my private life.
i do agree with the pitchfork article about how conversations of cultural appropriation needed to be brought forward and releasing an album (especially in 2018) centered on white guilt was awkward and off-putting. but it also doesn't sit well with me that the author, laura snapes, is a white woman complaining about how uncomfortable it is to talk about white guilt. white people need to talk to white people about their own accountability no matter how uncomfortable it is. i think it comes down to the audience. i think tune-yards were aiming for their white, liberal, hipster audience but it ended up coming off as "woe is me, evil white woman" esp. with "colonizer"
idk it's not my place to say what's right or wrong in this conversation about the appropriation of afrobeat but execution aside, i think what tune-yards wrote and sang about, be it bringing awareness to oppressive systems or white guilt, are still important discussions that need to be had. and as others have pointed out, it has to be noted that other (mostly male) musicians who have strong african and afro-beat influences (i.e. vampire weekend, paul simon, etc.) are subjected to much less public scrutiny.
regardless, i'm happy they're still make music and have even moved to scoring with boots riley on sorry to bother you and i'm a virgo.

JAVELIN is out today. Thank you for listening. I love you.
This album is dedicated to the light of my life, my beloved partner and best friend Evans Richardson, who passed away in April. He was an absolute gem of a person, full of life, love, laughter, curiosity, integrity, and joy. He was one of those rare and beautiful ones you find only once in a lifetime—precious, impeccable, and absolutely exceptional in every way.
I know relationships can be very difficult sometimes, but it’s always worth it to put in the hard work and care for the ones you love, especially the beautiful ones, who are few and far between. If you happen to find that kind of love, hold it close, hold it tight, savor it, tend to it, and give it everything you’ve got, especially in times of trouble. Be kind, be strong, be patient, be forgiving, be vigorous, be wise, and be yourself. Live every day as if it is your last, with fullness and grace, with reverence and love, with gratitude and joy. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Thank you. I love you.  XOS

i think Ahsoka in the mouth of the (space)whale is not just a reference to Pinocchio (and even Finding Nemo, go synergy) but also references the biblical story of jonah and the whale. Ahsoka, like Jonah, had rejected the call to action from the Force (i.e. God) and it is only when Jonah is swallowed by the whale that he reflects, acts for forgiveness, and accepts his mission. I think this is also what part of Anakin's lesson was about, especially when he said "you lack conviction." Ahsoka after leaving the order was directionless, she had lost faith in her mission, her training and in herself. she was "going nowhere." but Anakin is trying to teach her that this is a kind of death in itself. you have to fight to live, you have to fight for it, not just survive. not just stay put. and that's why enlightened ahsoka says it's better to go somewhere than nowhere. she finally wants to live, wants to make things better, not just stop things from getting worse.
also i think this is the first time we ever really get to see/hear from anakin/vader post-rotj and it's so much more full circle to hear him speak and be at peace with both the dark and light sides of the force inside him. i always felt off about how quickly vader turned good/achieved enlightenment and became a force ghost but something about hearing his view of the force really closes that chapter from me. "live or die" might sound like absolutes but i think it's his own contribution to the legacy he was talking about. you have to have a reason to live, you have to have a reason to move on and be, otherwise, you are in a way, dead. something obi-wan learns in his series, and anakin learns once he lets go of the past and saves his son. you have to have an active part in shaping your life, in living.
maybe i'm projecting a bit of myself in here but i think that reading of it is somewhere in there and explains why i'm so emotional about this episode. but dave filoni has given us a brilliant, nuanced arc and philosophy and i am so grateful. i haven't been this excited and invested in a piece of star wars content in a long, long time.

The shooting in Colorado will very obviously sanitized in order for America to ignore the terrifying problem it has with fascist terrorism. It was at a gay club, during a drag performance, during an event organized by a group presently being targeted by libsoftiktok for "grooming" teenagers by facilitating them exploring drag performance. After news broke of the shooting, libsoftiktok was still attacking the group on twitter. The perpetrator, of course, was a 22 year old man known to law enforcement, and was previously in deep shit for calling in bomb threats. The same story we always hear. Same one we've heard for years.
This is a part of a greater rising tide. Young men are being radicalized into acts of stochastic terror with increasing frequency. Not only does law enforcement have no interest in protecting our communities, they are often in the same circles as these terrorists, and agree with their actions. Other mass shootings have already demonstrated that police will not even protect their own communities. Public officials refuse this is a systemic issue being aggravated by sitting politicians who peddle conspiracy and hatred. Social media sites have zero concern for the charlatans creating the echo chambers and feedback loops which drive these alienated young men into the deranged mindset to inflict this kind of pain.
It isn't hopeless, of course. There are courses of action we can take, even if we can't directly change the system above us. Now is the time to discuss this trend as loudly and openly as we can in order to get to the core of the issue. Don't shut up about this kind of thing. We should probably be organizing large, visible actions. Act up, as it were. In the mean time, we also need to keep ourselves safe, as we find ourselves an outlaw class. Talk to one another. Protect eachother. Be sure to be active in your local communities, and establish ties between communities. We need to find those meaningful alliances again. Learn to defend yourself and others in any way you can, and encourage those around you to do the same. Yet, there is no need to panic. Only need to prepare and strengthen ourselves for what may possibly happen around us. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
