I Heart radio has pulled an AI artist from the air and its chief programming officer has started an initiative called “guaranteed human.” He says this also applies to their podcasts. www.billboard.com/pro/iheartra...

Spotify’s Discovery Mode allows artists to flag songs to be boosted in Spotify’s algorithmic recommendations in exchange for a 30% royalty commission—but a lawsuit accuses the streaming company of boosting artists who pay them.

Headphone listening "is a surprisingly radical invention, and we’re only beginning to contend with its implications," writes Jonathan Garrett. Not only does it isolate the listener; "it shrinks music’s cultural footprint."
How to Make Music Popular Again
The rise of headphone listening has changed us profoundly—and maybe not for the better.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Did a new one
Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

Can’t wait to introduce bird-based storage into my backup system
A twitter post explaining how you can “save PNGs to birds” by converting a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram then playing it to a starling who sung it back, reproducing the PNG.

Very much time to stop using WeTransfer, with their updated terms that clearly state they have the right to use anything you transfer across their service, to train AI, create derivative works, basically steal and use anything you post through them. This is now laid out in section 6.3, posted below:

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word
Brad Lander, NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate, is arrested outside immigration court
New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander has been arrested at a federal building in Manhattan as he was trying to accompany a person out of an immigration courtroom.

My article about the Sonic Legacy of David Lynch is out now, published in the new edition of the MPSE magazine Wavelength. I’ve interviewed three of the sound designers who worked with Lynch – thanks so much to Douglas Murray, Randy Thom and Dean Hurley ❤️🔊

An amazing video from a Black man who gets it. Here, he explains how the word "illegal" is based on a lie. A lie that the United States of America (and much of every other western country) tells. A lie built on capitalism, white supremacy, genocide, imperialism, slavery, and land theft.

Watch it.

SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day.

My report:
ICE agents get green light to make unjustified warrantless arrests
The agency announced an accountability policy has been rescinded.

A contact sent me this from the back of a forest service map they got on a recent visit. The only maps available had language that does not comply with the anti-inclusion policies of Trump's administration. It's quite something to see the erasure - and what is being erased - laid so bare.
A photo of a written section from a map from the forest service (which falls under USDA) has been temporarily altered to adhere to new Trump administration anti-diversity and anti-inclusion policy. A part of the wording of the anti discrimination language has been struck through, by hand, with a pen. The relevant section reads: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where applicable, (following portion in this parenthesis has a strike through line -- sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, genetic information), political beliefs, reprisal or because all or part of an individuals income is derived from any public assistance program.

The secretary of transportation literally goes on tv every day to talk about how pants-pissing terrified he is of public transportation
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 28
Duffy: "If you're liberal, they want you to take public transportation ... the problem is that it's dirty. You have criminals. It's homeless shelters. It's insane asylums. It's a work ground for the criminal element of the city to prey upon the good people."

Sir Elton John describes govt as "absolute losers" and says he feels "incredibly betrayed" over plans to exempt technology firms from copyright laws - telling @bbclaurak.bsky.social if plans go ahead to allow AI firms to use artists' content without paying they would be committing theft.

This is the most tragically American thing I’ve ever read www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...
Rebecca Jaramillo stepped out of the Santa Fe jail and into the cold one night in January 2021. After two days in a cell, she was free, but no one was there to pick her up. So, with a snowstorm coming, she began the long walk toward town. The jail in Santa Fe, surrounded by barbed wire and tumbleweed, sits on a remote stretch of highway far from the city's bustling plaza and historic churches. It is nearly two miles down the highway to the closest gas station, three miles to where a sidewalk starts and eight miles to the nearest homeless shelter. Ms. Jaramillo, 33, made it only about a mile from the jail that night before she was hit by a sheriff's deputy driving a police pickup truck at 57 miles per hour. Her body was thrown more than 100 feet, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Ms. Jaramillo, who was struck by the sheriff's deputy in 2021, had once worked as a correctional officer herself at a jail not too far away before falling on harder times. She had been booked into the jail for trespassing at a homeless shelter that banned her. A police report from the crash said she had been walking in the middle of a lane on the highway.

An ice cream truck rolled up at the pro Palestinian protest at Brooklyn College this week.

General opinion on TikTok and Twitter = Sus

In 2000s, NYC cops would use yellow cabs and other vehicles for surveillance. I spotted them a couple of times sneaky pete-ing in UPS trucks near protests.
