a tweet with an absurd amount of likes talking about Mixtape the 2026 video game reads: "Given the context of this now clearly being an industry plant, the ambiguity of decades in the aesthetic, aimlessly floating through spaces including a two-way garage leading into a tennis court, I'm gonna go out on a limb here: I think this sequence was modeled on an AI video"
"We've been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security. I think that got us into a place where, reaching the heights of Monument Valley 3 [production], contractors were always a relatively low percentage of our employee base. I think that's something we're looking to change going forward," she continues.

two reviews, reading as follows: "Michael 23d I was moved by this movie. Dylan's humanity in this isn't loud but it's clear and it comes through. Everyone always asks about dylan the portrayals of him "but what's underneath?" and "who is he?" and "what does he want?" Do you need to know about the street someone grew up on to be in love with them? Does a musician owe his audience a readymade identity that is doomed to be fake if he tries it on, at least as false as the one Dylan exhibits? Both Dylan and the movie itself answers "of course not," but that isn't "humanity" enough for those in the movie, or legion of online content creators. Everone wants Dylan to wrench his garments, bawl his eyes out, yell at somebody. His humanity was that he was a quiet guy but everyone wants the fireworks from him and from movies about him and get all pissy when they don't get them. Isn't it possibel he is genuinely cryptic, quiet and self doubting? Does he need supreme confidence and social acumen to be have written the songs you like? He obviously didn't have any of those things and he still did it 'while doing nothing' as you say. I would take his output from doing nothing over pretty much any artist since he came along. He acts the same way he always has to this day so everyone complaining that he's inauthentic somehow are just plainly wrong at this point. Ariana Grande literally changed her accent but people are having tantrums about Dylan being too tame? idk what kind of weird psychodrama is playing out around this movie but it was a compeletely uncomplicated, straightforward good time." and "Chris 23d I want to put Tim Chalamet in a hydraulic press"

a screenshot of the wikipedia page for Meghan Trainor's "Timeless". it reads the following: "Critics analyzed Timeless in the context of Trainor's previous material. DeWald believed that though she had always combined different genres in her music, the album featured "classic sounds" and the synthesis felt more intense.[29] AllMusic's Matt Collar thought Trainor borrowed a bit from all musical styles she had tried in the past, hitting several stylistic notes that popularized her, and delivered a "frothy, confident, mixtape of an album".[28] Jack described the album as a clear improvement from Takin' It Back, but he opined that it was devoid of a true sense of direction, and though Trainor leaned into the modern aspect of her sound, it was not interesting enough for a whole album.[26]"
