I listen to a lot of music, 27,654 different tracks in the last year. I’ve never heard this song. And looking at the lastfm stats, it’s not a tremendously popular song, though I’d say lastfm’s serve userbase doesn’t tend to skew Country.

Dolly truly got it. If the world ran on this simple edict everything would be better. You can be wrong on something and not need to double down.
"When they said 'Dixie' is an offensive word, I thought, 'Well, I don't wanna offend anybody.
This is a business. We'll just call it The Stampede," Parton said of the name change.
"And you just do stuff not realizing, but as soon as you realize that it is a problem, you
should fix it. Don't be a dumbass."

What a clown show. Took me 4 attempts to create a password because dash, underscore and asterisk weren’t valid in my randomly generated password from 1Password. I then removed all special characters and it finally shows me an error that actually clarifies which characters it will accept 🤦‍♂️

Finally finished this piece. @quirky1.bsky.social started this over a decade ago, painting the horizontal & vertical lines and felt they messed it up with the silver drips. It kicked around our house for a long time, then I decided to keep going at it. Had my kiddo get in there and they added the

We can now see the effects of the changes lastfm made. After all the talk of taking their ball and going home, 19% left the platform, while accounting for ~60% of the API abuse. There’s still many users scrobbling impossible amounts of tracks, but they did get many of the biggest offenders to leave.
Highlighting BTS now having 19% less listeners and 60% less scrobbles. While still having scrobble counts that clearly dwarf any other act on the app.

The part that gets me is FIFA absolutely knows it hit that cable and chose to look the other way.
What Is the Smart Ball Technology at the 2026 FIFA World Cup?
Adidas previously introduced connected-ball technology that transformed the way soccer matches are officiated, and the technology is expected to continue evolving heading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Unlike traditional soccer balls, the smart ball contains an internal motion sensor that gathers live data during matches. The ball itself must even be charged before games to ensure the system remains fully operational.
The technology tracks:
• The exact location of the ball
• Every touch made during play
• Movement and speed data
• Real-time interactions between players and the ball

And just in case anybody really needs to see the issue laid bare, here it is. You’ve got a group of users who represent the 45th most listened artist scrobbling 86 million tracks in the last week, which is more than the top 15 artists combined.
