Not really. They're playing a character, and when their real-life behavior doesn't match the character, that's not a reason to downplay the seriousness of their actions.

Or, put another way, which aspects of musical quality do you think are most amenable to objectivity?01 Oct 2026 19:56 +0000at://did:plc:bpqlcers3u2mg4lejolibohx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwtnbv74f222https://bsky.app/profile/12tone.nebula.tv/post/3mwtk24u45s2zThis is musicology.

She was always advocating for using AI learning to get 5s on your AP tests. That was, like, her whole thing I'm pretty sure.

Choosin' Texas is 6x Platinum in the US.27 Sep 2026 19:08 +0000at://did:plc:bpqlcers3u2mg4lejolibohx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwjipvykls2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/12tone.nebula.tv/post/3mwa5an7jc22jAs part of an effort to fix this, I've been going back and watching some of my favorite 12tone videos, and y'know what? I think I might be kinda good at my job. Who knew?
