For @oxfordamerican.bsky.social's new spring food issue, I set out to answer a question that has puzzled me for a long time: Why are there so many heartbroken men drinking wine (at the honky tonk, no less) in classic country songs?? oxfordamerican.org/magazine/iss...

very fun, rejuvenating (…hopeful?) story by Brian Howe “At least in the Triangle, college radio is the crux of the local community, and I think it can be a resistant tool within universities, or at least that’s how a lot of my friends have approached it.”

"Spotify Wrapped came and went—with its unsettling promise to be “more dynamic, personal, and unmistakably you than ever before”—but its annual dopamine hit had dulled to a slight ping; both the social and discovery aspects seemingly having evaporated into the algorithm."

@wxyc.org just played something so rad. We thought our air conditioner was breaking in the office midway through a sick pop song, but it was actually part of the record. Respected that Brecht game!

Spotify donated 1.7 million kroner to Trump’s inauguration and hosted a party featuring Ben Shapiro & Tim Pool. These companies and mega-rich CEOs don’t care about the workers who make their companies run, they care about cozying up to Trump’s oligarchical power.
