It can’t be said enough that the heart of creativity is the process of creating, not the final product. It‘s the process, the struggle, the change in direction, the finding your way. That is everything. All these ppl slobbering over AI removing the process as if that can make art. It destroys it.

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Every Amazon executive who is struggling with this should resign and go work somewhere where even the most basic level of imagination is not required.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
