Do Spotify listeners care if their music is “humanized”? Aspiring musicians are churning out tracks using generative artificial intelligence. Some are even topping the charts. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/6rrmrA

In 1952, John Cage radically distilled the definition of music to its barest essence with his famous piece, 4'33".
In 2025, people who disseminate AI slop and call it music are orders of magnitude lazier than a composer who literally wrote four and a half minutes of nothing.

Private equity is looting our malls, doctors' offices, and nursing homes.
Heck, you name it, and private equity has probably already bought it.
Their scheme spares no one. I’m fighting to stop it.

I went to an estate sale in a nearby village to scout for books. The house belongs to an elderly English lady who has lived in this tiny village for 25 years, and is now moving back home to expire (her words). Judging from various inscriptions and bookmarks I found, her books are very well-traveled.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Just want to point out that it is a crime to threaten to murder a Congressperson-- and a crime that absolutely falls outside the purview of any presidential immunity granted by the Supreme Court consistent with presidential authority.
Full stop, a crime and an impeachable offense.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

I would like to share something.
A year ago, Trump won and I was furious and scared so I sent a text to a few of local women I knew and asked them to join me at a meeting and invite like-minded women they knew. A few showed up, then a few more. We became a group called The Salon and we meet monthly

What y'all need to understand is that "writing for the market" is flatly bonkers in traditional publishing, because "the market" when you start writing is not the same "market" that will be there when you finish the book, much less when they finally release it 2 years later.
