They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.

They made physical media harder to buy and use.

They removed expandable storage from phones.

They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.

They made always-online normal. 

They made unlimited internet necessary.

Then slowly raised the price of everything.
 
Ownership quietly became renting.

A photo of a zebra crossing, with a main road behind. I'm crossing it wearing a big white jumper and leggings and a tote bag. I'm somehow managing to keep hold of four greyhounds, three black ones and a white speckled brindle. Imagine the Abbey Road Beatles cover where the Beatles are all smartly dressed and crossing the road in a smart and uniform manner. This is the opposite. This is chaos.

A pained face tilted upward, blood runs from the mouth Text reads Grief Eater, Emma Osborne

At the core of horror is humanity

Grief Eater by @redscribe.bsky.social is a walking trauma. A visceral examination of a tormented and victimized psyche, but also a healing of ever present wounds, the kind that never quite become scars.

Painful, honest, gory and queer

I loved it

Same in Aus. On paper Labor and the Greens should be cosy, but Labor hate the Greens because their policies show how far to the centre Labor have slid.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

There's a discourse that basically goes:
Alice: But I want to use Al to do art
Bob: Just do it yourself
Alice: But I am not good at it Bob: Just be bad, and post it on the internet, it's fine!
And Bob is lying, it sucks, you will get savaged as anyone who has taken a picture of their dinner knows.

I mean, things are tough all over. If rude criticism stops you from making art, you should probably not be making art.
