@oledoteth Do you have a product recommendation or type of extraction you’d recommend?

What is government supposed to be for if not guaranteed lunches for schoolchildren

@IdoHalbany It’s simple. Trump will be more destabilizing for Israel over the long term VS Harris who hopefully will not let the nazi Netanyahu and his cronies get away with starting world war 3.

@AvivaKlompas @nytimes @UNRWA Can’t you read?

@HenMazzig So you’re a conspiracy theorist now?

@ugmonk As a former manager of touring bands who cared about TWC, I have a pretty extensive google map list of coffee spots across the country! Some strange ways you can tell a place will make good coffee include name, typeface on the sign, and decor.

@academic_la You’re one of the only real ones.

[Adam Samuels @adamchiku]

@academic_la Tried to like this twice but X wouldn’t let me. Also, I think the US gov has been enabling Israel through its unquestionable devotion for decades and in part causing its gov to skew farther and farther to the extreme right.

@academic_la THANK YOU

[Adam Samuels @adamchiku]

@academic_la If we can imagine Israelis doing unspeakable things motivated by pure hate and vengeance, we should also acknowledge that this is part of the cycle of violence that both Israelis and Palestinians have been driven into for decades.

[Adam Samuels @adamchiku]

@academic_la These comments! Countless Jews have made aliyah and then had family or themselves make the Israeli olympic team.

- Predatory major label deals
- Antiquated royalty collection systems
- Endless roadblocks keeping artists from owning ALL of their own data
- Skyrocketing pay packages for executives who pretend to fight for artists' rights (ahem *cough* Lucian)

People say streaming doesn’t work. On the contrary, it’s the ONLY thing working in the music business. Here’s a list of what’s NOT working (in comments):

Why do people keep saying that @Spotify is profitable? They have never been. These layoffs are an unfortunate effort to become more lean, and I imagine in 6-8 months we may see another round of this. @MusicWeek https://t.co/esqbfacAYB

Great map of the current Music AI ecosystem. So interesting to see this all in one place, but it also makes me wonder: how exactly are we defining AI in the context of the music industry?

Why Spotify still might save the music business, even if they are in murky waters. Please subscribe if you like what you read :) https://t.co/ApBRi6gL8h

If the last 20 years has taught us anything it’s that when a politician says we need a “new generation” it means they are going to be incompetent and kiss the donor classes butts while getting nothing done cc: @NikkiHaley
