I am not joking when I say this.
Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.
Al music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all Al music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.
Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

1/x So, in the last week I witnessed a bit of an ugly discussion on X between John Konrad of GCaptain and others about the status of merchant mariners during wartime. This has spurred me on to make a series of threads about the merchant navy during WW2 and I'm going to start with a statue.

I'm sure lots of other people have said this, but if I worked for a company on a product that I thought had a >10% chance of killing all humans within the next decade and we had no plan for how to stop it, I would quit and devote myself full time to destroying this product.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

If Miliband's comparatively mild, caveated, and strictly targeted criticism of Israeli settler actions are enough to endanger the UK Jewish community & unleash pogroms then: a) We've passed some point of no return. b) Successive UK governments have utterly failed in addressing antisemitism.

FFS, Radio 4. In the US, a town becomes a city when it agrees to fund a local 911 services and uses the local tax base to do this (so the county doesn’t). If they don’t do this, county sheriffs and fire do 911. It’s a pretty uniform system. It’s not a mystery. Unlike the UK system.
