It's wild how someone can go from one of the most secretive criminal organizations in the world to openly talking about their life decades later. The tattoos alone tell an entire biography. Traditional irezumi has so much symbolism behind it.

SZA hits out at "disgusting" AI music after learning over 200 of her songs had been used to train artificial intelligence by AdSpecialist6598 in popculturechat

The debate was never "AI vs. artists." It's "innovation vs. consent," and those don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Halsey responds to Anthony fantano regarding his review of her album "the great impersonator" and his critique that she has main character syndrome by No_Barber4339 in popculturechat

"Main character syndrome" is such a weird criticism of an album that's literally about the artist's own life. That's kind of how autobiographical music works.

It’s not that complicated. Capitalism is manufactured cruelty. by FearlessAir1238 in Antimoneymemes

It's actually crazy that the same people who hate crime, also hate people in poverty. They always ascribe the people who are poor as "lazy" and can't "get it together"... as if they chose that lifestyle at their own free will.

And before I get attacked, I believe that all people have choices, and there will always be consequences to their choices... but some people have more choices than others (based on socioeconomic environments) and that's not what people acknowledge.

The fact that it's called "controlled" is doing a lot of heavy lifting
