@statsforari Kind of wild that the same people who were sick of seeing Cynthia everywhere during the Wicked press tours are now angry at her for… *checks notes* being exhausted talking about Wicked for two years.
Damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. 🙃
@wilson_mode Especially when the screenshotted text chats on the poster are in French. Assuming you’re not in a French-speaking country (which seems unlikely when the rest of the poster, and your post, are in English)?
Seems shoddy on behalf of the fraudsters, no commitment to the bit. 🙃
@surlenedon82646@PopTingz A) That came after my original post, so not relevant. You were commenting on my original post.
B) Read the comments. Everyone, very understandably, thinks Charles is personally responsible for this announcement when it’s just the government’s agenda.
My opinion? It’s great! 🏳️🌈
@surlenedon82646@PopTingz It’s not an opinion? It’s a fact. Everyone thinks King Charles has personally advocated for this himself, which he hasn’t.
It’s informational as the post is written in a way that sounds as if the king has personally decided upon this.
Which part of my post is an opinion?
Very glad to be part of this project.
Utilising someone’s work without their knowledge or permission (or even providing credit, an immutable moral right in British law) is stealing, it’s as simple as that.
All writers should support this initiative! 📚

Today, we're publishing Don't Steal This Book - a (mostly) empty book from almost 10,000 authors, protesting the theft of their work by AI companies.
The UK government is considering upending copyright law to benefit AI companies. Don’t Steal This Book urges them not to.
Apart from the list of authors involved, the book is empty, representing the effect the government’s plans would have on authors' livelihoods.
We're handing out 1,000 free copies at London Book Fair over the next couple of days. If you’re there, pick up a copy!
A huge thank you to the thousands of authors involved.

Incredible haunted house bags by Zack Frisbie, each one a functional work of art! 👜👻💼
Also a clever commentary on the legacy of the art we leave behind, but the spooky vibes are immaculate.

WICKED x LONDON NEW YEAR’S EVE FIREWORKS
“Hello fellow Londoners, as we travel the yellow brick road into a new year, let us stand for positivity and hope and embrace the magic that we all have inside and come together for good.” - Cynthia Erivo
The jump in storage capacity from Nintendo 64 cartridges to GameCube discs allowed the developers to be astonishingly generous with the storage in comparison. A Super Mario Sunshine cutscene of a single image fading in and out is larger than the entirety of Super Mario 64.
@wickedmovie@jonmchu@UniversalPics Sorry, excuse me, did they ad lib the exchange when they were talking over each other? No wonder it felt so authentic! Cynthia and Ariana really did share something special on set.
The addition of ‘Not with your eyes. With theirs’ also added some depth over the stage version.
