I am not joking when I say this. Jive Bunny is now very, very good. You just don’t know yet because all musical mashups circulating today is from the Stars On 45 era. Jive Bunny et al have solved infinite musical mashups.

Luckily the press has been fully complicit with this monumentally insulting fraud and so can be relied upon to not notice this.

At least we didn't all lose our minds and inflict ten years of the Tories on ourselves in order to eventually try and sneak a watered down version of the 2019 Labour manifesto back in and hope nobody notices and asks awkward questions.

1. I am baffled by the idea I would want "personalised music". 2. Personalised music is the easiest thing in the world to get. Anyone who ever accidentally slept with a musician has had it foisted upon them.

The word “solved” is the most revealing bit of all. Not only do AI knobs fail to grasp that art is about the process more than the result, but they also see it as a problem to be solved. Absolute robots. And not the good ones like WALL•E or Dusty Bin.

I think this one proves my slop on slop theory, ie, that the AI slop videos are being prompted by AI slop. this one is already fucking awful (whoooo remembers shaking hands with your mum before she drove the car directly at McDonald's) and by the end it completely loses it

And I mean, Israeli government ministers were right out in 2023 saying that the plan was: cull the populace to a more manageable size, destroy most of the strip, pen two million civilians into a much smaller and more crowded camp. Do you think nobody else could hear this?

The scale is horrifying but for real, everyone fully understood what was going on throughout, and they behaved like that anyway. They behaved that badly *specifically because* because it’s so obviously horrific and indefensible.

All the Bee Gees were in a lot of weird accidents as kids, but also in a fourteen-month period Robin was in a railway accident that killed forty-nine people *and* had to tunnel through snow and nearly die of hypothermia after an avalanche buried the chalet he was honeymooning in.

Incidentally it's hard to read the history of the Bee Gees without coming to the conclusion that there were time travellers who *really* didn't want Robin to reach the age of twenty.

I've been talking about how the difference between Barry and Robin Gibb's songs is quite easy to tell once you realise that Barry's are all "I love you and want to dance" and Robin's are "I want to die". Exhibit a. Both Coke jingles are *credited* to both brothers, but...

I feel I should warn 'the kids' that "maxxing" leads nowhere good. We've been there before. But if they are intent on repeating another of history's preventable tragedies, I won't stand in their way.

i was once seeing this guy and he kind of sucked so i was venting and texting my friend about it. i then accidentally sent HIM “peter kind of sucks tbh” instead of texting my friend, so i made a whole blown out meme to defend myself so it looked like a trend

(picture of of clip art boy/girl texting each other with the caption:)

TEXT THE PERSON YOU'RE SEEING "____ KIND OF SUCKS TBH"

AND THEN WATCH FOR THEIR REACTION

I think it's really interesting how the Fleetwood Mac revival has led to this weird retconning of the complaint about their music being that it was too hip and obscure instead of too smooth, polished, safe and adult oriented

Really worth your time, this. It's basically what we've all been saying about Starmer since he was elected Labour leader *cos we have eyes to see*. But this is not us looking in. This is someone up close on the inside

Neal of course got very publicly and embarrassingly conned, swindled and fucked over by McSweeney, so we might say he has a personal motivation for saying this stuff. Except of course it is true, and if anything still not harsh enough on what these people did to the public.
