I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Here's to Dolly: union member, vaccine hero, literacy giant, staunch gay ally.
Community-based philanthropy and fighting for the underdog defined the superstar’s legacy.

The US media cannot comprehend a southern belle country singer who was unapologetically "woke" because that goes against all the narratives they've been reinforcing. So Dolly has to become "neutral" despite her vocally, repeatedly taking the progressive side in the so-called "culture wars"

Any of the modern Grand Theft Auto titles. They receive a lot of praise, especially for their story, but the world of those games is just so mean-spirited. Writing feels like edgy comedy from decades ago.

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

I've been on German television twice. Once was for being at a Cold War museum on the 30th anniversary of the Berlin Wall falling down, and another was when I was at a No Kings protest the time the National Guard was sent out to Los Angeles.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

Heck yes, for an indie film beating out something that costed over 250 times more to produce. The producer on Obsession runs a local horror movie club in my city and it is so cool following the success of this movie three years after first meeting him.

So one of the richest men on Earth makes an AI 'animation' startup to prove that he, and by extension everyone else, doesn't need to pay animators. What he needs is a beloved auteur to sell him their credibility. If that sounds familiar to anyone who follows me, know that you broke my heart.

I really loved the hype and design philosophy of the Wii. I still find it baffling that the follow-up the Wii U had one of their most complex controllers and concepts. Really feels like motion gaming only exists today in the VR space. I really loved seeing the Wii in old age homes, for instance.
