i’ve been saying AIs main utility to capitalists is to allow them to bring back all the racism sexism ableism transphobia and every other bigotry under the sun we’ve managed to mitigate in the last century and go “computer did it 🤷‍♀️” when called out for it

I’m going to write a dark academia novel about a bunch of PhD students slowly losing their minds to research, meaning they all develop stress eczema and can’t get perlego to work

Celebrity Traitors is more about celebs dealing with their own/each other’s mythology than actually deducing what’s going on, while normal #Traitors is learning that everyone who works in recruitment is secretly Pol Pot

I’ve had enough of celebs interviewing celebs. Not everything needs to be a cozy love fest. Wrap it up.

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

we're surrounded by media all the time.
How many hours do you spend looking at a screen each day?
Why? What is it that draws you in and keeps you there?
Don't you think it might be important for someone to research that stuff?

This week in my Intro to Media and Comms Research seminar, 1st year students discussed an article from *2016* where over 60% of newspapers analysed framed Media Studies as a “soft”/“mickey mouse” subject despite credible evidence that Media Studies is both popular and produces successful grads
How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Modern curse: I hope that [thing u like] becomes a stop on the press junket and loses some of its charm and outsider-looking-in feel. And while you don’t stop listening to it totally, because it’s still [thing u like] and it’s entertaining *enough*, you can tell it’ll never be what it was
