As well as, control over institutions of cultural distribution. You can be instrumental in making the best movie in the world but it has no value if no one distributes it, algorithms suppress it & no one shows it.
Anyway, that's just some thoughts. Culture is a super interesting industry to unpick

paint on canvas more value than another, is a process of institutional consecration, attachment of the "genius" label, cultural businesspeople.
Both in the old sense of galleries, exhibits, Parisian art markets, systems of critics & the modern sense of platformization, algorithmic curatorial powers

From a materialist perspective, their are many disparities, power asymmetries and exploitative practices throughout. And cultural production is a class war in both the material and artistic sense (high brow art vs low brow art i.e contested fields of cultural production)
But what provides, one lot

Art is never a solitary affair, it is a culmination of a huge sprawling networks, art worlds. From the ppl who make the brushes and paints to the people postering for the exhibition, to audiences and critics, to sociocultural actors influencing the habitus and embodied cultural capital.

I'm sure this will be great in undercutting the grievances and inequalities, that allow RW politics to flourish.

No doubt, Albo will cave and up our defence spending in line with US wants, as well.

The fact nobody's done a satanic panic doco in the same vein about Spencer von Einem and the Family Murders. Makes me think, I should do it.

Like it is very extremely blatant that short of human centipeding chatbot output back into itself, the only data left to train on they haven't touched is literally the stuff you are saying irl.

That doesn't make a difference, though. Should help drunk ppl up, too.

I respect the whirlpool forums. Pretty sure that's how I learnt DVD region codings can be unlocked.

That's dodgy as fuck, what scumbags.
Word, I'm always stubbing my toes, too. Banged up my little toe, not long before I fucked up the nail on my big toe. Should probably learn to wear my shoes in the house.

That sucks, least someone was around to help you up though.
Can't say my toes sore anymore. It was for like a few days after but now the toe nail's just coming off. No pain, though.

Haven't had a toe nail come off, since I was a kid, so I don't remember if it was annoying or not.
I've just stuck this one on with a band-aid so it doesn't catch on anything and rip right off 🤣

People just didn't start hearing about them, till they started expanding into Syria.

If dude's actually an ex-army guy, there's no way he doesn't know that. So, gonna assume he's a pure grifter.

If any US president "created" ISIS, it was Bush and the overthrowning of Saddam, which created a power vacuum that allowed them to gain power.

Completely apt, that a board member of the Port Adelaide FC has those same ideas.

Sorry Mr Wilson, but I think you'll find that The Magnum Carters clearly states that you can't tax The King's Road.

This show has such a weird tone to it, like Guy Ritchie doing the rise of fascism.
