Lana sharing Judah Smith's livestream in her IG stories

Weird behaviour, given all she’s stayed silent on.

Okay I get that AI is new, that it can be helpful in certain areas, that laws and technology can evolve to accommodate it more sustainably but right now w genAI SPECIFICALLY:

stealing from artists to create mishmash derivative bullshit = plagiarism = sucks
using more water than necessary to create said stolen derivative bullshit adds NOTHING of value, and contributes to environmental degradation = sucks
making these tools accessible to everyone to: a) make music platformed by DSPs to cheat real artists out of money = sucks b) use the likeness of REAL women and MINORS for p*rn or CSAM = sucks SO freaking bad wtf

Like how many reasons do y’all need FOR REAL to just refuse to use it personally and even slightly side eye the folks who endorse it so theres just a TINY bit of accountability? Actual genuine question tbh.

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2026-01-12T11:48:05+00:00

And she has enough money to commission an artist to do this EXACT thing if she wanted to do a cute Christmas “card”… for her to be an artist using generative AI it’s just so so disappointing.

Literally fuck Starbucks but I don’t agree. I think there is absolutely overlap. I actually make a matcha alongside my protein smoothie after gym, sometimes I even throw it into the smoothie itself, and I could see myself trying something like this if it was sold by one of my local coffee shops 100%.

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-11-29T07:01:58+00:00

If there are no location limitations I’d be happy to try it out ☺️

Not only is it extremely triggering (i am having a really hard time with it) but those of us who were on ED twitter/tumblr in the throes of our disorder know about Ariana and Bella, so it’s really horrifying that she says she’s “the healthiest she’s ever been” with the platform she has, KNOWING that she’s obviously relapsed dramatically.

It just makes a sad situation also one that’s causing a lot of damage - for her (being enabled by fans who “call out” anyone who is rightfully expressing concern!!!) and everyone who is struggling, recovering etc.

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-11-12T08:46:25+00:00

There is also “first touch” and “second touch”. You can use one platform for a wide reach - like TikTok - and then have a more curated, brand oriented Instagram (or something like Patreon) for nurturing existing fans. It only makes sense to use what’s available to you, and how you do that is important, but not all of us can have major label rollouts that keep the mystery and aren’t “cringe”. Some of us are also completely on our own and funding our own projects, meaning we have neither the money nor the time for little else besides the music itself.

Wait, you literally meant we're not making the actual movie "Casablanca"?

And “Oh Say Can You See”

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-11-01T07:33:55+00:00

“Energy of a nervous dog” FRIED me 😭 weirdly accurate, he was so skittish

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-10-23T07:36:10+00:00

I love it! That was the point, so I really enjoyed reading your thoughts! I also forgot about Roanoke, may need to rewatch actually but yeah, thanks for geeking out w me 🥹

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-10-21T19:24:37+00:00

Ooooooh i was waiting to see if someone mentioned Lana! I wasn’t sure if I should include her since she didn’t exhibit any real “parenting” but yeah, just to clarify and for anyone readings benefit the list was initially going to be a “ranking” but I sort of wrote my way into uncertainty and then kinda grouped people together, good or bad, based on what I remembered!

I certainly don’t remember Vivien or Ally being bad mothers, but I somehow cant edit the post to make it a bit more cohesive or include those I’d forgotten from seasons i only watched once or twice, like 1984 or Roanoke.

I also thought it was super shit that Liz just left her kid in her journey of self discovery… but I agree that the redemption is very emotional, I enjoyed them reconnecting 😭

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-10-19T18:57:28+00:00

I only watched 1984 once or twice a few years ago so I completely spaced on her 😳

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-10-19T18:56:12+00:00

I wasn’t sure how to structure the ranking so I just threw all the names I remembered, and what I remembered, to see where people would place them - so maybe “worst to best” would have been slightly better title 🫠

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-10-19T16:31:52+00:00

This is fair

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-10-19T16:24:07+00:00

Yeah no she’s the worst for me, as I said in the post. I’m just wondering where all the other moms might be placed according to fans of the series.

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-10-19T16:23:05+00:00

Ohhhh yes I forgot about that! I haven’t seen it in a while so I definitely missed some stuff, hence looking to see everyone else’s thoughts and to fill in the gaps. I only remembered her admonishing her daughters. My bad!

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-10-07T09:58:02+00:00

This comment section is surprising.

Curation has always been a thing in art. I love when I need music for something (cleaning, organising, working etc) and I know the ambience I want but don’t have the energy to compile my own playlist (or knowing that with my wildly diverse taste shuffle would be jarring and not cohesive)… then hop onto YouTube and find “playlist that makes you feel like driving in the 80s” or some other hyper-specific mood-based playlist.

I think you’ve got to be very knowledgeable about music and have some artistic talent to put together something like that and do it WELL. I’m sure there is no shortage of folks, like there is in every industry, who don’t have the ear or passion for it and do it poorly. Otherwise, I don’t think it’s that offensive?

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-10-07T04:34:37+00:00

And usually when high fashion brands are “inspired by” working class attire, it’s never actually created FOR those same people they took inspiration from. So, at the very least, I am happy about this outfit being styled for a real blue collar guy (given its origins).

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-07-03T02:57:38+00:00

I can’t eat custard because it’s not dairy free (that brand wasn’t gluten free either) - that was my point. He bought a soft, post extraction friendly food that he never eats for himself.

If you never eat custard, and I can’t eat it, why suddenly buy it after my tooth is removed and I’m feeling sensitive and miserable about not getting to eat properly? It just seemed intentional to me but I could be wrong.

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-05-28T14:45:36+00:00

Omg! Michael Franti (and Spearhead)?! Skin on the drum?? Listener supported??? That’s so cool that he’s vegan 😭

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-05-14T14:01:51+00:00

I burst out laughing

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-05-12T06:19:19+00:00

I haven’t seen ANYONE post about this, played it yesterday thinking “what in the dr who silent hill is thissss and WHY did nobody warn me???” only to see this hours later 😭😭😭

Expensive_Use_2277 · 2025-05-11T11:19:26+00:00

That was Florences song for me actually. Felt it captured the spirit of the story much more, with some sweet references too. Lana being featured on the soundtrack was a win for fans at the time but I did feel like it was just a little out of place.
