Art doesn't need to be good. Or unique. Or special. It's ok to do art that has been done before. Your art, whatever medium, doesn't need to earn its right to exist. It is an expression of your breath and life and like you, its right to exist cannot be taken away.

From a 2010 book “The Futurist: The Life and Films of James Cameron” by Rebecca Keegan:

'"The Terminator films are not really about the human race getting killed of by future machines. They’re about us losing touch with our own humanity and becoming machines, which allows us to kill and brutalize each other,” he says. “Cops think all non-cops as less than they are, stupid, weak, and evil. They dehumanize the people they are sworn to protect and desensitize themselves in order to do that job.”'

mosaic censorship but it's actually a qr code. Linking to the rickroll video,

Okay. An actual horse is 5 horsepower and has about five sticky outty bits (when you count the TAIL! Sheesh). Therefore a one horsepower thing is about a leg or flicking a tail energetically.

And if it’s a quarter horse, that’d be 1 hp= 1/5 x 1/4 = 1/20th of a horse. Somehow.

What if: The Odd Couple, but it's Arnold Schwarzenegger and Werner Herzog.

This is your occasional reminder that capitalism doesn't even do capitalism right, much less anything else.

Capitalism is not a meritocracy, it is not the most efficient system - not even for capitalism's own stated goals. It just isn't. It's steered in powerful people's (usually men's) ideas on how markets *should* work, and those people have enough pre-existing sway to mold things to their existing biases.

Just thinking, as one does, about how in the 80s video games were enjoyed in about equal numbers by kids/teenagers of any gender. Then marketing experts and executives arbitrarily decided that's not how it *should* work and pushed HARD for a "games are for boys" narrative, forcing it to be real, potential profits be damned.

And in the 90s and onwards, they largely succeeded, doesn't matter titles like (for instance) the Sims show women are a gold mine of a demographic.
