David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars doing “Starman”. Sick to death of hearing received wisdom about this appearance but I did rinse it on YouTube when I first got into Bowie. It is a wonderful clip. #TOTP

Alright, “Maggie May“ is one of those songs I grew up constantly being told was a stone-cold classic, used in constant clip shows, referenced everywhere. It ain’t that good is it? “You Wear It Well” demolishes it. #TOTP

“Lola” is alright but I have never felt it was a great example of one of the best bands Britain ever produced. Hard to love Rootsy Kinks sorry. #TOTP

“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” was one of my first favourite songs cos I had this thing as a little kid. I think it had been my mum’s. #TOTP

I know people hate “Where Do Go To (My Lovely)” (overexposure, hectoring lyrics etc) but Peter Sarstedt got the last laugh (ha-ha ha-ha) because a lot of young people into 60s music love it unabashedly. #TOTP

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories.
EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS.
Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.
AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

It is bizarre that there's this well-established TV canon which is entirely prestige US shows from the 21st century, as if the 20th century and the rest of the world don't exist. Not the case for film, music, art, etc., just TV.
Take away all the GOAT candidates: The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Lost.
What’s the best show outside of that group?
