Goes great with another fresh piece about another incident of tech hubris that crashed into a pile of burned-up money. I can tell you there will be cheering across the world if/when the AI bubble pops.

Earlier this month, I rode a float in the Rose Bowl Parade in order to celebrate Star Trek's 60th Anniversary. I can't believe it's been so long. So much has changed, but our message of holding space for everybody remains at the forefront. (Photo by Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images for Paramount+)

130 years ago, on the 28th of December 1895, the Lumière brothers gave their first public screening which consisted of ten short films. All were between 38 and 49 seconds long and included subjects such as 'baby's breakfast', 'horse trick riders', 'the sea' and 'the gardener'. #otd #history 🗃️

Kind of weird that musicians get put through hell when they don't clear a sample.... But AI weirdos can sample+ scrape literally everything ever recorded+ spit it back out at us. Meanwhile I get copyright flagged posting my OWN music on Instagram or whatever. I feel like there should be a better way

The flooding in the Snoqualmie River Valley is absolutely jaw-dropping. Here's a bird's eye view captured yesterday by NPI's ED, who flew a drone over a section of the valley in between Carnation and Duvall.
You can see the floodwaters reach across the valley almost from edge to edge!

Have you dumped Spotify yet?
Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.
