Violet Grohl 'Really' Doesn't Care About Being a Nepo Baby: Call Me One 'All You Want' Violet Grohl, whose dad is Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, doesn't care that she is considered a nepo baby, but hopes “people will give me a shot.”

I hope people give disadvantaged artists a shot first. Less likely, now.

I wonder what her clothes, makeup, health, time and image consult cost. I wonder what kind of bed she sleeps in at night. I wonder how much personal space she gets to have. I wonder if she notices any of it. bit.ly/4st38ou

What was it some idiot who owns some other platform said? 'Vox populi vox dei'?

aaaand there goes one more light on the hill.

At some point this years-long bloodbath will end. At some point we'll run out of blood.

Welcome to town.

I know what you mean. I wore my copy of the s/t out.

That's a really lovely little characteristic.

That is brilliant.

Was there a key moment when that clicked?

I know you can never go home but man do I miss that time and that community.

... and so many other people I know. Outsized effect.

It is truly alarming how almost the entirety of my life traces back, eventually, to alt.gothic.

I will not hear a word against the goth scene - especially the 80's-90's goth scene. I shudder to think who I'd be now if it wasn't for a bunch of DIY WTF.

No surprise, but same. Right there with you. Except my folks said I couldn't go, but my friend's cool Mum invited me to a night at the drive-in with their family. It doesn't mean what it once did, but seeing SW at that age *irrevocably* changed the direction of my life and my understanding of myself

If I could upload one thing into the collective that'd be on the shortlist. We don't know each other, but you always struck me as someone who was an artist primarily for love which, FWIW, I've always taken as a sign of someone who knows who they are and what the terms of their happiness are.

I would really like that. Miss you! (And I got your mail!)

…

I think we may have found one of mine. Goddamn.

Hey, you. Yes, you. If you were to really drill down, what was the one weird thing or moment way back when that set you on the path to being who you are or doing what you’re doing rn? Is that thing still a part of your life?

Hey hey. I still think about that talk you gave in Dunedin.

Likewise!

“Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

Hello, sudden influx of new people. I really need to pay more attention to this thing.

Currently the lead setting designer on Zeo Genesis, working with actors, writing an audio drama, designing a game, getting a business off the ground and working on some other stuff.

BEING NICE WON'T CHANGE A NARCISSIST BUT THIS WILL || BRENE BROWN|| BEST MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH YouTube video by EMPOWERED HEART

If you're dealing with a suspected narcissist in your life, especially if you're hurt and confused by their behaviour, this is an excellent primer from one of the best in the field. It can also be comfortably listened to at X1.25 speed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bLO...

Thanks for saying so. That’s really kind.

Also, if global businesses don't get on board with this new reality their companies will go extinct.

So, essentially, we're planning on spending the treasure of planet Earth to wire every single company and person with their own deadman switch and we're never allowed to sleep ever again.

Cool. /

... we will need very talented and passionate artists and craftspeople to help us rise above a gravity-fed AI-perpetuated race to the middle - but also they'll somehow need to come into being in a world that tells them the only hope they have of surviving is to become a meat-based algorithm. 3/
