@RCLZ I think that's a big deal of why the Fantastic Beasts movies are floundering (the next one possibly being nixed)... People can appreciate what the prior art has brought to their lives, while simultaneously deciding not to contribute to the future/current works of the artist.

@RCLZ I just know far too many people, trans, gay, bi, etc, whose lives were made better through the HP community and fandom and connected with the actors etc.... There comes a time when the community belongs to them, and no longer to the original creator, it's transcended beyond that one person and the art belongs now to the community that exists because of the art itself, and not because of the artist.

@RCLZ That's how I am with people like Spacey and Pitt... There are things I've loved and watched and still love, but they won't get any new money from me. As for Rowling, and things like that, I feel it transcends the initial creative and becomes belonging to the people who brought it to life. What the Potter books and movies meant to people isn't negated... Simply excise the toxic creator from it, and I'm saying this as an author.

@RCLZ I still see posts (even on here) of people fawning over him ... But also, I can absolutely separate the art from the artist. I love Firefly and the IT Crowd despite, I guess, the toxic creators... I feel, as long as you acknowledge the bad. It's the rest of the people involved that should be celebrated. Much like the Harry Potter movies.

Pun intended.

People love Clapton but hate Tr*mp... Pick a lane. Clapton is a racist, white nationalist POS. How about some all-across-the-board hatred for fascists? Or does being mediocre at guitar tr*mp ideology?

Sitting on a Red Line train, earbuds in, some random guy comes over to fistbump me, and now I have to figure out if it's someone I used to work with pre-stroke, or just some rando, because it's the Red Line.

@praet0rian This just makes me think of Fringe... Shove a little yellow dot somewhere, and it's part of a code key.

Whelp, Shotcut keeps crashing on me, so I guess it's time to finally learn the ins and outs of kdenlive... #VideoEditingFun

@Kungfupussy @buffyblogs A friend (who I've only met once) of a lifelong friend bought me a ticket to see Porcupine Tree, as I'm the one who got them all into them... First concert since NSP or NIN in late '19, and it was free for me, and first since the band broke up a decade prior... Cathartic is the word I'd use.

@Kungfupussy @CaptainJackWolfe I'm currently catching up, near the end of the Flux... Not sure why people I know hate on this era. Tbh it's the closest to classic Who since the first few seasons of the reboot (2005).

@Kungfupussy Every year, I fail at every aspect of NNN. What can I say? I like nuts!

I'm also a bit of a lunatic.

Does No Nut November include sunflower seeds? Because I might have already failed...

Are you ready kids? ... Doo dah doo doo!

I can be easily verified by a simple Google search and then just saying "Oh yeah, that's definitely him."

@TheOtherLisa3 I dunno. Some of em might still be alive and take offense...

You know, real "gems" like this one...

I wonder if I can convince them on the bird site to UNban me, simply so I can save all my old posts, back when I used to be funny and creative, so I can then actively delete my entire account on my own...

John Barrowman is so very John Ritter...
