when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"
I genuinely think we should start calling businesses and schools falling to the anti-DEI movement “segregationists” because they are re-segregating. And earlier rounds of segregationists *also* explained their preferred policy in race-neutral terms (“state’s rights” and “freedom of association”).

Spotify laid off most of their editorial staff and replaced it with proprietary AI, you should question your own dignity if you listened to your AI generated podcast about your own taste. Do you love music or do you love algorithmically sorted audio content, be honest.
If you're a Spotify user who is finding the microgenre & geodata of your annual "Wrapped" to be less substantial than usual, there's a reason why.
A year ago, Spotify laid off most of its employees who worked on genre classification, including folks like data alchemist @glennmcdonald.bsky.social.

I don’t do Spotify, so my version of Wrapped is the Apple Music Replay. Here’s one slide from my report — brace yourself, this may startle you

News from Guitar.com is making my day today. Gibson sent Trump’s merchandising machine a cease and desist over the MAGA chibson Les Pauls. So much for supporting American manufacturing. The cognitive dissonance on the right is truly astonishing.

Recommended guitar listening for your Sunday - “Guitar Moods by Mundell Lowe” 1956 on Riverside. Beautiful vignettes of great American songbook tunes. Lowe makes great use of his trademark drop D tuning.
