      Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community โ€” curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. ๐Ÿงต
      Someone on Threads writes: "The Met Gala feels like real dystopian shit.

People canโ€™t afford groceries or gas. But weโ€™re going to celebrate this event which is nothing more than wealth porn."

      When asked what skill I wanted to learn in a job interview, I'd replied:
      
      'Being a great Dungeon Master (no, not that kind!)'
      
      I'll learn from GVAA/sites, DM my first D&D campaign, build a three.js dice roller, add Twitch bot TTRPG updates, and learn improv.
      
      Chill, right? ๐Ÿ’€
