This is why I've always disagreed with the idea that "art" is purely subjectively defined. Art is a communication. The listener/viewer completes that communication in recieving it, but it is the intentionality of the creator that makes it art. "AI music" is no more music than traffic noise is.

I didn't even really get to do the bit about the lack of colour and the filth, cuz there's so much. You can check it out from only £1 per month. www.patreon.com/GoingMedieva...

Remember the deal was: you give up collective bargaining and provisions to protect you in unemployment or ill health, and you gain cheap goods, social mobility and a house? And now nothing works, everything is expensive, the public realm is visibly degraded and about ten guys own the whole world.

My "I am not complicit" statement has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my statement.

A screen grap of an article in the independent with a headline reading "Ed Sheeran breaks silence on Macklemore tour drama: 'I am not complicit'.

It also has a picture of him looking a absolute mess, as per, with his arm around Macklemore.

My disappointment about the Uprising Robinhood is that has a few lines. The first is it isn't giving American audiences credit. How are they supposed to judge whether or not the want a Peasants Uprising film if you never offer them one?

All English folk heroes are now Robin Hood. It's a thing that happens in mythology. One favoured character is given the adventures of multiple heroes, which is responsible for a lot of the discrepancies in tellings, like "why didn't he use his magical macguffin?" Disappointing to see it happen.

Populations, in a genetic sense, are not "races" in the racialist sense, no matter how much the new scientific racists try to elide the two. That's the most important thing to remember when they start in on the topic.

Because I've spent a lot of time in the paleogenomics space, I've been watching this new iteration of race science develop in real time over the past 15 or so years (same guys, in a lot of cases). I was really hoping it would disappear on its own, but we're really gonna have to fight this battle.

Notable how a not-insignificant number of the signatories on the letters supporting a racist signed on to letters supporting anti-trans extremists in 2018 or are high-profile anti-trans extremists themselves, almost as if there’s a connection between ‘everything is gender’ and ‘everything is race’
