Growing up, a hit song crossed demographics whether the genre was your favorite or not. People who don’t primarily listen to country still know Dolly, Shania, Carrie, The Chicks, etc. because they made actual hit records that crossed over. If a song can spend 23 weeks at #1, breaking records that stood for 20+ years, while a huge portion of the public is sincerely saying they’ve never heard it, maybe the conversation isn’t “people hate country.” Maybe @RollingStone should be writing about how streaming-era chart dominance no longer equals cultural dominance because there’s some trickery at play. That’s the real story being avoided. Don’t gaslight us.

I stand by this even more following Ed Sheeran's weak bs post today.

10 years ago I was the centrist fence-sitting final boss.

I get it Ed.

I thought it made me enlightened, but looking back it was just cowardice. Too many things are too fucked rn to stay silent or neutral.

MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.

A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.

Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.

The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.

The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.

Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.

The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.

The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.

This is what happens when you’re so accustomed to the benefits of modernity - sanitation, clean food & water, low infant mortality - that you forget where it all came from, how much effort it took to build, & how bad things were before. This is the literal definition of decadence

— BTS Boycotts 2027 Grammys Over Controversial Asian Pop Music Category

"The boycott threatens to severely damage the cultural relevance and viewership of the Grammy Awards. It also highlights a deepening fracture in the global music industry, where massive non-Western acts are increasingly refusing to accept marginalized, regionally boxed awards when their commercial and cultural impact vastly exceeds that of their American contemporaries.

By refusing to submit their work, BTS has effectively stripped the Grammys of the most fiercely loyal and highly engaged fanbase in global music, the ARMY.

As the Recording Academy scrambles to manage the fallout, the BTS boycott serves as a definitive turning point. The global music landscape has evolved past the point where Western institutions can unilaterally dictate the boundaries of genre. If the Grammys wish to remain the definitive authority on musical excellence, they must fundamentally dismantle the geographic walls protecting their most prestigious awards."
