What is up with people calling Karlie "alliterate"?

Idk what that word means google wasn't quite clear. Like why are they tearing her down? This post I just saw said "who pretends to code" If a person has a whole company/organization dedicated to coding I'm more than sure she isn't pretending to know about coding. Like dude are you jealous because she has a skill you don't? Yk to be honest I kind of hate how karlie gets caught in the middle of all this drama while Taylor is out there living her best life. Like Taylor managed to keep her public persona squeaky clean while Karlie is being hated on left and right by swifties. And swifties can be really toxic

alliteration is when you have a lot of words starting with the same letter in a sentence. it happens in english language marketing a lot but also in poetry. you can read about it here! so enty refers to her as the aliterate model because her name is Karlie Kloss.

separate from this, the ‘who can’t code’ part, i think with the way celebrity gossip is traditionally formulated, i think enty and others poke fun at celebrities in the way they refer to them, almost playfully. like i think it’s just a hollywood way of being catty, and he pokes fun at plenty of celebrities.

unfortunately for karlie, i think that people who are predisposed to hating karlie then take this language from enty or others literally, feed into it, and get all nasty when talking about her as if it makes them sound more in the know to be an ass 🙃 i always get secondhand embarrassment with this stuff.

#in this day and age sites like his have such a wider audience and i always struggle with whether or not he has taken the best measures #to accommodate for what happens with mass misunderstandings #because i think at its core hollywood gossip was mostly just a bunch of publicists and industry members having fun with each other.. #but it was mostly based on a shared understanding of how hollywood works. and that’s why the way of writing these things would be amusing #but with the way misinformation gets weaponized these days and can lead to harm.. i am sometimes made to wonder if its worth the catty jokes

i feel like whenever people talk about genuinely sad / depressing hollywood undead songs they almost ALWAYS go straight to Bullet. and like.. yeah??? but BRO BRO. LISTEN.

Bullet is NOTHING compared to The Loss. maybe that's because the loss I can relate to on a way more personal level. but god damn.

by the way. massive trigger warnings for both songs if you choose to listen to them since they both deal with topic of suicide and s/h. and in the case of the loss specifically, grief.

Thoughts on AI art?

I used to like and enjoy AI art until someone pointed out to me how it's learning artists style and basically stealing from artists works. There's already been a whole ass movie using AI (which takes jobs away) and there's been work done to replace actual actors and actresses with AI realistic characters. People don't realize and/or don't want to realize that what they think is harmless commands in a generator to create what is right now shitty "art" is teaching it how to improve little by little to where if someone wants a commission, they can just have a computer do it for them, and all the people who rely on commissions will be screwed. Then artists, actors and actresses jobs will be in danger because Disney, Pixar and Warner Brothers and other large name corporations would rather cut costs and not have to hire or pay for actual people. So no, I don't support the use of AI art and I'm sorry but it's not ableist to be against AI art, a lot of actual artists are disabled and they rely on commissions to get by, so that argument doesn't fly with me. I'm not able to afford a bunch of commissions that I want done so being poor and bad at art isn't a good excuse for me to turn to AI art either.

#I do regret liking AI art before #Not realizing the harm #But now I'm against it #Especially with the Hollywood strikes #It puts it introspective #That all these big names don't care about #Their ppl #Just their profits #And using ai art will help them #Make a larger profit #And put a lot of artists livelihood in danger #not choices

Everyone talks about how smart huskies are, and as someone with a lot of experience in animals I can tell you- they’re not wrong! Huskies learn quick, can work jobs, save humans in emergencies, even learn to mimic human talking and use simple words to get their humans to feed them or give them water. That’s all true. It’s just that huskies are also kinda. Dumb. But In a different way. Like one time I brought my chihuahuas to the beach, and someone had a husky running around. Being all happy and friendly the husky came up to one of them and tried to play. Jon, the chihuahua who doesn’t even have teeth due to dental issues, did not take kindly to the invitation and snapped at the husky’s nose. The Husky, having been not even actually bitten by the 6 inch tall chihuahua, screamed and ran behind the couple that was walking him to hide. We said sorry and all, the couple laughed, and the husky was all sad. Because clearly he just almost died by the hands of a great beast. Yet meanwhile, as I recently saw in the news, another husky was being walked by the Hollywood sign, and fell off the edge of the short cliff. Just walked right off while the other dog (a smaller one) did not because It Is A Cliff Edge. Now the husky was completely fine, In fact he had a great time running around in the bushes while an actual search team was sent after him. And when he saw the search team from the brush he ran out tail waging because ah!!! Friends!!! He was reunited with his person and the small dog he was with, and seemed to have absolutely no regrets or qualms about how he Literally Walked Off A Cliff. So basically huskies are great, but they can be very very stupid and are very very lucky they’re sturdy and strong enough to handle their own decisions

Guys see one show which purposely makes vile female characters and decide that’s how the whole female species is. Like a fictional show isn’t supposed to be confirmation bias for your hatred of women

#my stuff #feminism #like go outside #talk to some real women #stop using tv as an excuse to hate women #stop using Hollywood to justify you hating women cuz they don’t look your way #like y’all see one female character written in purpose to look bad and make women. as #and decide that all women are whores and sociopaths #like pls #this is why some of these shows do more harm than good for society #especially a society with men as unhinged as this looking for an excuse to justify their hatred

I'm glad to see more Asian representation in movies (since I'm Southeast Asian) but I'm still tired of how Asian people and their characters being treated poorly by Hollywood.

Representation is great! But if it's a bad representation (and by 'bad' I mean in terms of using negative stereotypes or using completely incorrect information) then it's still trash...

#i'm sorry :( #i think hollywood tries very hard to seem Woke you know #like oh! we're so progressive! #but then continue to put entire groups of people in boxes and use negative stereotypes #without even realizing it #like at that point it's better to just leave them out if you're just going to cause harm to entire groups of people??? #leah has mail #anonymous

I know you can't know or keep track of every shitty thing everybody has done and many showing support probably aren't aware she has done these things but did people who were aware collectively forget that Susan Sarandon had been saying shitty things regarding other ongoing genocides and propping up genocide denyers and a handful of other things unrelated to Palestine beforehand?

#bullshit from yours truly #and yes it sucks that other garbage people in hollywood aren't let go of for severe crimes along with her #like abuse racism assault etc #but you can call that out while also acknowledging the harmful things she has said

The anticipated (by the rest of us Marvel fans) Brie Larsen project, The Marvels, which has proven to be popular in the reviews, was targeted, relentlessly for over a year before release, due to multiple agendas.

Vicious assholes online, most paid by interested parties, such as Sony, Warner Bros Discovery, Apple, Amazon & Twitch, the Church of Scientology in league with the woman-hating Velvet Mafia and Mike Flynn's online army, Silicon Valley Rage Farmers, the home of more woman haters, but also individuals who simply got off on joining in, had a great time beating up on women as a badge of honor, among themselves.

Talk about the Homoerotic tradition of Misogyny. It's all in the behavior everyone has witnessed and it's pretty disturbing. I feel it's time to go harder on educating the public on just how unhealthy and psychologically damaging Male Superhero films are and have been on men. Something has obviously gone very, very wrong when men who claim to be fans of the superhero genre actually start behaving even worse as human beings as a result.

Time to educate the public and hopefully.. HOPEFULLY, as more information spreads among parents of young children, they may just start avoiding the whole comic book genre, as well. After all, why would any mother want a child who turns out like so many men act, today? Hell, it could affect future comic book sales if more parents come to think this way. Because for a superhero film to turn you into a selfish and cowardly bully, there has to be something very wrong. The above video lays it out, FLAT, as to why.

Hi- er, this is my first-ever writer's strike, how does one not cross a picket line in this context? I know how not to do it with things like Amazon and IRL strikes, but how does it apply to media/streaming?

Hi, this is a great question, because it allows me to write about the difference between honoring a picket line and a boycott. (This is reminding me of the labor history podcast project that's lain fallow in my drafts folder for some time now...) In its simplest formulation, the difference between a picket line and a boycott is that a picket line targets an employer at the point of production (which involves us as workers), whereas a boycott targets an employer at the point of consumption (which involves us as consumers).

So in the case of the WGA strike, this means that at any company that is being struck by the WGA - I've seen Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Disney, Warner Brothers Discovery, NBC, Paramount, and Sony mentioned, but there may be more (check the WGA website and social media for a comprehensive list) - you do not cross a picket line, whether physical or virtual. This means you do not take a meeting with them, even if its a pre-existing project, you do not take phone calls or texts or emails or Slacks from their executives, you do not pitch them on a spec script you've written, and most of all you do not answer any job application.

Because if this strike is like any strike since the dawn of time, you will see the employers put out ads for short-term contracts that will be very lucrative, generally above union scale - because what they're paying for in addition to your labor is you breaking the picket line and damaging the strike - to anyone willing to scab against their fellow workers. GIven that one of the main issues of the WGA are the proliferation of short-term "mini rooms" whereby employers are hiring teams of writers to work overtime for a very short period, to the point where they can only really do the basics (a series outline, some "broken stories," and some scripts) and then have the showrunner redo everything on their lonesome, while not paying writers long-term pay and benefits, I would imagine we're going to see a lot of scab contracts being offered for these mini rooms.

But for most of us, unless we're actively working as writers in Hollywood, most of that isn't going to be particularly relevant to our day-to-day working lives. If you're not a professional or aspiring Hollywood writer, the important thing to remember honoring the picket line doesn't mean the same thing as a boycott. WGA West hasn't called on anyone to stop going to the movies or watching tv/streaming or to cancel their streaming subscriptions or anything like that. If and when that happens, WGA will go to some lengths to publicize that ask - and you should absolutely honor it if you can - so there will be little in the way of ambiguity as to what's going on.

That being said, one of the things that has happened in the past in other strikes is that well-intentioned people get it into their heads to essentially declare wildcat (i.e, unofficial and unsanctioned) boycotts. This kind of stuff comes from a good place, someone wanting to do more to support the cause and wanting to avoid morally contaminating themselves by associating with a struck company, but it can have negative effects on the workers and their unions. Wildcat boycotts can harm workers by reducing back-end pay and benefits they get from shows if that stuff is tied to the show's performance, and wildcat boycotts can hurt unions by damaging negotiations with employers that may or may not be going on.

The important thing to remember with all of this is that the strike is about them, not us. Part of being a good ally is remembering to let the workers' voices be heard first and prioritizing being a good listener and following their lead, rather than prioritizing our feelings.

I wish the take I see most often on hollywood barbie alecto wasn't that john chose that because he wanted a sex symbol because it's missing out on a lot of thematic resonance about how john cannot help but return to frameworks of western imperialism and even at the moment he is seeking comfort in his childhood he ends up with one the symbols of western capitalism and how that relates to him recreating the same systems that harmed him and were destroying the world when he becomes god

in the city of angels.

NAME: Bellamy Powell FACE CLAIM: Sydney Sweeney AGE & DATE OF BIRTH: 26 & February 12th, 1997 HOMETOWN: Rome, Italy TIME IN LOS ANGELES: Born in Los Angeles, left when she was 2, and returned 2 years ago NEIGHBORHOOD: West Hollywood OCCUPATION: Former artist, server at Ocean Park Beach Club

biography.

trigger warning: abandonment, self harm, violence, assault.

PAST

The stories people want to hear are rags to riches, but for Bellamy, it's no surprise no one wanted to hear hers because it was riches to rags. Growing up in Los Angeles, she lived in West Hollywood for two years between a couple brought together by art and torn apart by it just as easily. Her father ran a sought after gallery and became infatuated with the sculptures her mother made. Together they began to create a perfect family, but the thing about artists is that they're never quite satisfied and always need to chase after another muse. Her father's fleeting interest resulted in an affair and by the time Bellamy was two, she was taken away to Europe in a self discovery trip funded by the divorce that would last for years. 

She grew up in Rome, in the heart of ancient beauties, and was always a good kid after seeing her mother fall apart. The image was burned in the back of her brain and Bellamy wanted to strive for perfection in hopes that her mother would have one less thing to worry about. The girl went to bed when she was told, didn’t eat sweets after 9pm, and learned that it was easier to be seen instead of heard when the light to her mother’s studio was on. She did what was asked of her instead of acting on her own free will. It wasn't until she was seventeen that she came out of her shell and put the freedom she was granted as an adult to the world. Bellamy couldn’t stand being alone with her thoughts in her bedroom anymore, adulthood meant she could be in charge without burdening her mother and explore what every corner of Italy had to offer. She never realized the toll her parents' relationship took on her in the moment, checking in on her mother became a routine simply to see if she was okay and developed into a bad habit that crossed nurture with a voice in the back of her head nagging that everything wasn’t as it seemed. She followed her mother's footsteps in art, but she always loved the complexities of the human body rather than the modern twists and turns her mother perfected in steel. There wasn’t a day that went by where her hands were free of it, the girl was determined to expand her talents  to ensure her father would be reminded of her name and what he left behind. She preferred clay and how easily she could manipulate it, everything in her hands was exactly how it seemed, nothing to hide as it found its rightful place. 

Her college career became devoted to her progress, loving the way her feelings seemed to speak for themselves so she didn’t have to. Bellamy never got the chance to focus on her own feelings while tip-toeing around her mother’s and this was her loophole. Power practically radiated off her fingertips, her name now getting featured in different articles and golden plaques standing in front of her creations. She wanted her father to see it, all of it, the beauty her hands were able to create and that he would never have the chance to touch because he threw her away. Her father lost the chance at any sort of claim and Bellamy liked the power in reminding him that his greatest creation was one that he made with her mother. Striking things often captured the man’s attention and if the world felt the same all of her work would be worth it.

She never expected to be the clay in someone else's merciless hands. During her second year of college she caught one of her closest friends upstairs in her own studio during a party, and in her drunken haze, unmasked part of their personality she never knew was hiding as she caught them attempting to shove all of her creations into a duffel bag, slamming her in the process. Most of her life's work for her college portfolio had been ruined along with what she was submitting to a local gallery in her fight, but worst of all, she had been broken amidst the impact. A girl who’s precious love language was physical touch could barely stand to look a member of the opposite sex in the eyes, being that vulnerable left her mind like a blank canvas. The passion that had once brought her so much joy now left her breathless, the clay bringing anxiety rather than comfort. The assault had left her with numerous cuts down her legs where shards of fallen sculptures had dug into her skin when she hit the ground. When she told her mother, she blamed it on the rebel she had become and it was something they never moved past. In order to cope, she only ever sought touch through the most intimate moments and even then, she treated her partners just like the clay she worked with.

She was in control, and that's where she wanted to be. 

PRESENT

After a while, the fighting with her mother got worse because of how much she strayed from home and how neighbors talked about her walks down the road at 3 AM. She reached out to her father, a dwindling relationship, and he jumped at the chance for her to return home. She finished her arts degree in Los Angeles, but her and her father never saw eye to eye either. Her mother's whispers over the phone about a rebel without a cause influenced some of his perspective even after all these years. He offered to help her with her art, but she's never been able to return to the studio again after what happened. Instead, she's just trying to get by. She still attends her father's gallery nights to admire work and smile so she won't have the burden of her school bills, but spends her days at the beach club shaking hands and collecting golf balls.
