So git gud

my issue with the argument that "disliking ai art is inherently reactionary" is that it acts like pro-ai art people are somehow less reactionary on their views on art, when like the majority of defense's of ai art as like a higher form art are indistinguishable from the arguments people use to defend the art of like. hitler

like the logic is that hitler was actually a great artist, entirely hinges on the belief that "objectively good art" is just art that looks detailed if you've never drawn before, which like why ai artists who want to prove their actual artists will just make a pretty looking building or lady, cause it's all about aesthetics i guess

like i'm not saying your a nazi if you like ai art, i just think it's silly when people act like anti-ai artist's are just hysterical luddites, and that ai artists are the ONLY people who actually care about art, when 99 percent of ai artists on twitter only care about art that's "beautiful" on an extremely superficial level.

Jacob Geller dissected the intersection of Fascism and modern art in 2020, sadly before the AI art boom, and goes into better detail than I can about how abstraction is a threat to fascist ideals. I also want to draw attention to possibly my favorite commentary on modernism.

Comic by Ad Reinhardt, an abstract painter, who's made multiple comics about art and perception.

AI slop only bring repetition and lack of original idea to the table. it's an advanced form of stolen art collage. It seeks only to trace and multiply without provoking. It's the anthesis of art.

The way I explained it to my young cousin was like this:

Back before cameras, paintings were just recording reality, and that's why painters tried to be as realistic as they could, and only paint things that could exist in the world around them--objects, and people, and animals. Sometimes they did paint things from their imagination, but only to illustrate stories, like stories from their religion.

Then, cameras came along, and painters were free to paint things cameras couldn't see--things like the artist's feelings, or ideas, or thoughts, or lots of things. Some artists tried to see if they could paint from every angle at once, and we call that Cubism. Some artists tried to paint very quickly, as quickly as they could, so they could capture one single moment of the daylight, or their impression of a moment, with all the feelings light gives, and that's why we call them Impressionists. Some artists were more interested in the process of painting, like Mr Rothko; or in finding the most intense versions of a colour, like Mr Klein. Some were more interested in the spaces between things, like Mr Mondrian. But art, after cameras, could suddenly SAY something, say something by itself! And art, as it turns out, has a lot to say!

"I can do that too! I can do that!" You can, little friend! We all can!

My little cousin didn't get mad looking at modern art; she was excited, and asked her parents if she could have fancy grown-up paints, because she didn't know Art could be something she could do, could be something about expressing her feelings and ideas. This is a child who can't yet write very well, and not nearly as fast or as well as she speaks, so you have to understand something clicked for her, that she could express the complex human things inside herself with colour and shapes and images, instead of struggling to learn how to spell "melancholy" or "excited" or conjugate verbs to a degree that could encompass it.

Because words take TIME to master as an art form--I should know, I've been practising using them to express MY ideas and feelings artistically for 36-and-a-half years! Paint, however, doesn't require such mastery in order to begin expressing the artist; certainly it helps to know skills, but it isn't as required as it is with words. You can just scream and yell with paint, you can experiment more purely with images than with sounds, which after all are regimented into languages before we can begin to use them at all, let alone for the art words make.

And honestly, why are whole-ass adults not understanding that "I could make that!" should be exciting, should inspire you to go and make that! Why are you so mad? "I could make that!" Yes you can! And you get to! And you're an adult, you don't have to ask your parents to buy you paint and canvas and brushes, you can go and do that yourself and be expressing your own feelings this very afternoon! Nothing is stopping you! You don't NEED that plagiarism machine, you can do better art yourself! And nobody else in the whole world, now or in the past or in the future, is EVER going to be able to make the art YOU can make, the art YOU have inside you! So go make it!

this tax shit is easy i typed some numbers for 20 minutes and now I got some bands on the way

the version of minecraft thats uploaded is unfinished copy that looks like this and i believe this might be the best way to watch it

this is so fucking good man i cannot imagine watching this any other way

A Better Version is soo so good because it's so fucking ironic and poignant that the first thing Jase does when he meets Judith is refuse to get caught in a silly and inadvertent lie that wouldn't even that matter that much, but because Judith assumes the dog was his dog, he has to correct her.

and he says he didn't want to get caught in a lie, specifically.

And then she gives him a false name and lies to him for several hours and continues lying for two more years, building a whole life together on lie after lie. and then she just expects him to- what- to get to know the real her and trust her again?

So actually the reason the last line in 36 questions remains unfinished is because Judith and Jace kissed. And they end up together again and nothing bad ever happens. I’m not in denial this is canon trust me Jonathan Groff is my dad and he told me

again again again i am once AGAIN thinking abt judith ford saying, "i don't get how what i did could be so wrong if what i did let me have you!!!!" like.

My brain constantly:

no cause i mean it when i say 36 questions never gets less devastating no matter how many times i listen to it. "whoever you are you have a thousand reasons not to trust whoever i am. for whatever it's worth, i also have no clue as to who i actually am. but i know this is the first time in my life that i am sure." "i don't expect for you to understand perfectly, i loved her too, as much as you, and she'd want you to bury her with me." "i tried so hard to seperate who you are from who you were, but now i'm reevaluating how similar you are to her. you have the same voice and the same cadence when you speak, if i close my eyes you still sound to me like natalie." "when i was with you i was real." all of our word, the ambiguous implications of judith's childhood and how it led to why she did what she did. a better version and how it shows you judith and jase's relationship started with jase not wanting to get caught in a petty lie and judith lying about her whole identity. "they say before you die your whole life flashes before your very eyes, well it didn't the first time, but this time i heard each and every lie i ever told you." "i memorized your voice and how you say goodbye, but you never said goodbye." the progression of "you deserve to get to know the person you're trying your damnest to let go" to "i deserve to let you go and build a better version on my own somehow." "and if you're listening, i love you, i think i always will." i could go on forever

friendly reminder that

Only Jonathan Groff can go from playing King George to a divorced guy with his emotional support duck to one of Disney's best male love interest to a bounty hunter who flirts with the doctor during the regency era
