I want to unpack this a tiny bit, which I think I can do without getting anybody in too much trouble: One verrry underreported aspect of campaigns like this, for obvious reasons, is “which TV pundits have the same agents as athletes they’re covering”

this guy is just an AI booster on Twitter, of course he's going to have this opinion because it lures in the town he's currently trying to sell a monorail to, but it's not actually real. When guys say this, they don't actually know or care about music or history, they just care about the attention
The general public hates AI music.

Here are other things the general public hated over the years.

1920s: microphones. 

The idea that you could project your voice was lambasted by critics for being "manipulative" when they were first released. Today, microphones are pretty much a requirement.

With the review embargo for Digger lifted I'm reminded again of one of my favorite opening lines of any review ever care of @scotttobias.bsky.social on the greatly missed Dissolve. He's a goddamn artist!
"Alejandro González Iñárritu is a pretentious fraud, but it’s taken some time to understand the precise nature of his fraudulence. For a while, it seemed like much of the blame could be shifted to his former screenwriting partner, Guillermo Arriaga, with whom he made a triptych of everything-is-connected dramas that used violence as an organizing theme. Their collaboration, which started with the exhilarating Amores Perros, diminished into didactic shtick by the time they got through 21 Grams and Babel, but Arriaga went to the well a fourth time on his own with The Burning Plain, his laughable debut feature, so perhaps it was Iñárritu’s screenwriter who was holding him back. Then Iñárritu made Biutiful, a 150-minute pile-up of tragedy and transcendence that straightened out the chronology, but was no less oppressive and self-serious. It helped clarify why Iñárritu, for all his technical bravado, is such a terrible filmmaker: He’s incapable of modulation. He deals in intensity, in conflict, in grand poetic flourishes. He’s a goddamn artist!"

This is, oddly enough, not dissimilar to Taylor Swift's worst impulses as an artist. The need to be a perpetual underdog despite being the biggest pop star in the world is how you get songs like Cleveland!

The GOP is an opposition party even when it's in power, the idea that they are the perpetual underdog is central to their internal mythology and can't be disturbed by facts or the results of elections. It's also why they're bad at, you know, governing.

if anything, the broadview six case underscores longstanding concerns about injustices in the legal system. it makes you wonder what’s happening in cases without the same level of public attention/scrutiny. and why judges/the media are so willing to trust prosecutors and police regardless.

People will tell you that it is fun to be angry about sports. That it’s an outlet, and a way to let off steam. I’m telling you that sports anger isn’t a release valve. It’s a heaping shovel of coal into the furnace. If you are angry about sports, you’re probably angry about everything else.
