The biggest most brazen heist of the week did not take place at the Louvre. It happened in the ruins of the White House. And if successful, it promises much bigger hauls to come in the future...all out of your pocket. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-dayli...

but Say Now babes why are we buying our conditioner at the supermarket that’s what an Ulta is for ?

Zel McCarthy @zelmccarthy.bsky.social · 16d

While technically true, this is only possible in the streaming era and mostly significant because of how Billboard started weighing plays on paid vs free streamers.

So until this the 2020s, no other artists could have done this.

But still... congrats to the Showgirl!
