If AI bands like "Velvet Sundown" are the future of Spotify, Apple, or any other DSP, count me out.

Velvet Sundown are a seemingly AI-generated band with 325k Spotify listeners
Fully AI-generated music is only accounting for a tiny proportion of streams on services like Spotify and Deezer at the moment.

The crimes being perpetrated by this entire administration are serious and many…
Espionage
Election fraud
Wire fraud
Crimes against humanity
Hate crimes
Obstruction
Contempt
This is the short list.
When dems regain power, every one of them must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

10/ And once Trump has the lawyers, colleges and industry under his thumb, it becomes very hard for the opposition to have any viable space to maneuver.
Trump didn’t invent this strategy. It’s the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.
