This isn’t even a “but… but they prommy’d not to use AI!!!” thing. That would be valid, but this is worse. The guy in charge of music at SSE already considered signing a contract with Dj AI’s company when the social media team made the statement that SSE would never use AI. He’d known since 2023. It wasn’t a broken promise, it was just a straight up lie.

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

Sometimes you need to read something twice to get it. You might need to watch a movie three times to understand it. You might have to have that album on repeat for a week until the lyrics make any sense. You're allowed to engage with it and can keep engaging with it until it means something to you. People will see a painting at a museum and laugh about not getting what the big deal is but like you can come back, you can see it at another time, and maybe that next time it'll be different for you. I'm of the belief the "media literacy crisis" would solve itself if more people just sat down and did it again. Watched, read, played, listened, etc like I don't think people are getting more ignorant necessarily I just think we're not glorifying personally replaying things nearly as much as we should be.

Like, beyond the fact that suggesting all homophobic men are secretly gay and in denial is still treating calling a dude gay as a way to "own" him, it's constructing a scenario in which gay people are the principal enactors of homophobic violence. Think carefully about who benefits from this framing.
