各方面から大絶賛されてるTinasheの「Popstar」、Pitchforkでも今年最高レベルの9.0なのは結構ビックリ！レビューの中で「FutureSex/LoveSounds」や「Blackout」、「ANTI」、「choke enough」などの作品の名前が挙がってたけど、今作がその時代のポップスを定義するアルバムの１つなのは間違いないと思う��

Three very different albums, connected by one sonic instinct: letting R&B spill into club, electronic, rock, and pop.

BEST NEW ARTIST: @girlsweetvoiced

There’s something very Tumblr-esque about the way girlsweetvoiced showed up. It was just her, a laptop camera, what looked like her bedroom. She also came carrying brand new songs nobody had heard. ⁠
⁠
Somehow, her videos landed with Frank Ocean, SZA, Clairo, Doechii, and even Joni Mitchell. That last connection came after girlsweetvoiced sampled Mitchell’s “California” on her standout track “Tonight,” and, before anything else, mailed her a letter to ask permission. Mitchell agreed. She crafts her music alongside Michael Uzowuru and Mike Furlong, the former known as a key collaborator of SZA, Frank Ocean, and Rosalía. ⁠

girlsweetvoiced’s music sounds like a secret coming to life. Her taste and singular voice run through her debut album 'Lovesweet,' which she released earlier this summer via RCA Records and A24 Music. Over the course of the project, she writes about a situationship as if she’s watching a slow-motion car crash she can’t look away from. It feels like having a FaceTime call with the artist herself as she recounts the whole story beat by beat. The tone flips fast, throughout: funny, and then suddenly bruising, sometimes within the same line.

デンマーク出身のGBの新作ALを聴いて、同じ音楽学校出身のML Buch「Suntub」を最新に聴いた時の心地良い違和感を久々に味わってるような感覚になった。共に70s・80sのFleetwood MacやJoni Mitchellなどのソフトロック〜AORを現代的なデジタルな感覚で再解釈してる感じ。知ってる音なのに聴いたことない響きなのがめちゃくち��面白い。

各音楽メディアで今年最高レベルの高評価となっているPhoebe Bridgersの新作ALが、噂通りの超絶傑作で圧倒されてる。Jack AntonoffやAlex G、Ethan Gruskaなど多彩な仲間たちを迎えた静と動、清と濁、親しみやすさと実験性が混在したサウンドプロダクション。
内省的ムードの柔和なフォーク・カントリーと、アンビエントなアプローチの空間的スケール感の絶妙なバランス。
父親を亡くした喪失感や孤独感��複雑な恋愛模様を巧みな言葉選びで表現したソングライティング。
彼女がSSWとしていかに傑出した存在であるかの理由がこれでもかと詰まってる。
これは凄いわ…。

この暑い夏を乗り切るための清涼剤として取り入れたいのがデンマークベースのSofie Birchの新作AL。波音などの環境音も使われたドリーミーなアンビエントフォークに、ボサノヴァ由来のゆったりチルなバイブスが加わったサウンドは、架空のリゾート地で過ごしているかのような至高の心地良さ…。

Generative AI doesn’t run on magic. It runs on massive data pipelines built on privacy violations by design.

Our new @Amnesty report exposes how big tech’s AI systems are powered by surveillance, data extraction, and abuse of people’s rights, at scale.

We researched the models powering some of the most popular publicly available standalone generative AI tools, including GPT 3 by Open AI, Google’s Gemini, Meta’s Llama, DeepSeek and tools by Midjourney and Stable Diffusion.

This is not innovation at any cost. It comes at a high price: our human rights.

Your mother is problematic. Your father is problematic. Your son is problematic. Your aunt is problematic. The cashier at the local Tesco is problematic. You've probably bought a cookie from a bakery made by hands that have done unspeakable things. Every chocolate bar you've ever eaten has probably killed a 7 year old child slave in Cameroon. The gas that drives your car is fueled by engines of death. Every person who has ever smiled at you in the streets has committed some act that if you knew about it, would make you profoundly dislike them.

We have all been bad, small, petty, unlikeable, cruel, downright mean. Authors are not special "problematic" beings, they're just more public. Part of being an adult is recognizing that without mercy for our fellow human beings, and ourselves, we'd all be condemned to death. Reading fiction should help us understand that we're all irreparably tainted with evil, every system is corrupted, every line is broken.

And like, that's okay. That's what it means to be alive.

Hey hi hello. It's me, Ann, the yellow sweater-wearer. I gave this talk at The Love Symposium. It was called Understanding Interpersonal Conflict. Here's generally how it went:

-A conflict is a disagreement. Not all disagreements escalate into fights.

-Fights are caused by threat (real or perceived). Some people are more threat-sensitive than others and will even read into neutral situations to see threat -- especially related to a core insecurity or fear. People who are highly threat-sensitive can be scary and controlling, but it comes from a tender and hurt place. Still you should probably steer clear of them if you don't like fighting.

-The most ubiquitous threat most of us encounter day-to-day is invalidation. Invalidation = communication that conveys you are bad or wrong. Even if we are logical people, our body processes this like "you should not exist." It takes a strong sense of self and skill in emotional regulation to remain stable when someone is invalidating us.

-We invalidate each other all the time though, and here's why. Perspective-taking is computationally expensive for our brains, so what we do instead is called projecting. Projecting is when you assume other people are like you. The problem is, because we're constantly projecting instead of empathizing, everyone appears to us like failed versions of ourselves -- doing things we would not do for reasons that are not immediately obvious. So we bucket this confounding behavior into catchalls like "bad" and "wrong."

-Because our projecting brains give us the illusion that we understand others more than we do, we misunderstand each other constantly. Like just about always.

-If you want to collaborate with people effectively, you need to reduce threat and create safety. This isn't "kumbaya" nicey-nice stuff; the world's top negotiators teach this exact thing. Threatened people are defensive, calculating, focused on "winning." They are limited in what they can see and think. People who feel safe can be honest, objective, creative, collaborative.

-Fights are almost never about the thing they appear to be about on the surface. When people feel safe, they can start to tap into their subconscious and communicate what they really care about. So if your spouse wants to move to a new city because they desire adventure, but you fear losing touch with your family, you can begin to surface possibilities related to increasing adventure and keeping in touch with family. The deeper you go into these underlying concerns, the more you realize there are many more than 2 options here, and you can both have what you want.

-Emotional validation is a near-panacea for decreasing threat and increasing safety. Validation means approval. Sometimes you don't approve of what someone is doing, saying, or the conclusions they've reached. But no matter how much you disagree, you can always validate someone on the level of feeling. That's because emotions are just bodily functions. Emotions originate as changes in our body (slowed digestion, increased heart rate, diverted blood flow) brought on by perceived threat. These signals eventually travel to our brain where we attempt to interpret them intellectually. But all things said, they're involuntary. So there's no reason for judgments like "You shouldn't be angry." We say things like this when we want to control the other person. But this just increases threat, intensifying the feelings. So instead you should show acceptance and concern for emotions (e.g. nod, mirror someone's frustration back to them on your own face).

-The other thing is to make room for multiple perspectives to exist. Most people inherently take a "monologue stance" about conflict. They practice what they will say with the intent to deliver it as a declaration about the other's badness/wrongness. But the truth is, as sure as you feel, you just don't have all the information. People are incredibly surprising when you seek clarification from them. Turns out, you misinterpreted what they meant. Or there was a reason for their behavior you would never have guessed. So it's much better to approach people neutrally like, "Here's what I was feeling and thinking and the way I interpreted this. What was it like for you?"

-Ultimately, if you invalidate someone, they'll invalidate you back. If you try to control someone, they'll try to control you back. You win by letting go. Even in an extreme case e.g. someone you love is diagnosed with schizophrenia and is not taking their meds because they don't believe they're sick. You could try to force them to believe they're sick, but you'll fail. Disagreements will escalate into fights. If instead you allow them to be who they are, feel how they feel, think what they think.. you can start to have an honest relationship, and then you're not so stuck. e.g. They tell you that the thing they can't stand about the meds is fatigue. So you can start to address that together.

-"Conflict is the test by which people learn how much they matter to each other." Disagreements will happen. The more you interweave your life with someone, the more likely that is. Voicing that disagreement is a risk. It's scary. The other person could judge you, dismiss you, label you "not worth it." But dealing with disagreement is an investment in the long-term potential of a relationship. When both of you take that risk and invest energy into hashing things out, a deeper level of intimacy is unlocked. The relationship is stronger than it was before. When your friend knows that you won't make them bad/wrong, invalidate their feelings, or push your perspective on them, that safety feels a lot like love.

Anyway. That's my talk. If you liked it I'd love to hear from you!
