Taylor Swift says Sombr's writing "is so exceptional that it makes me actually envious, and I love that feeling — he’s gonna be the top of my Spotify Wrapped this year guaranteed, it’s locked, it’s in the bag."

"A lot of my late night debates with my friends about the state of the music industry involve me saying very loudly, ‘Sombr is the future and he does it all on his own and he doesn’t need AI. The kids are fine.’ And so obviously, Shane is a very well-adjusted person and artist, and doesn’t need any of my advice at all."

UPDATE: Scott Pelley called out Bari Weiss, saying in the meeting: "She’s murdering 60 mins. She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that."

NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:

"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.

Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.

In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.

Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it.

The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters.

To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

artists now have two choices for their press tour!

1. talk to journalists, in which case you may end up declining to answer a question you don't want to discuss

2. talk to creators, in which case you may end up explaining what timezones are

the replies to this are insane ❤️

Hitting every green light? Not magic. Signal timing.

We're expanding Green Wave corridors, allowing cyclists & drivers traveling around 15 mph to catch successive greens.

Reduces red light running, improves safety, and has little impact on daytime traffic speeds.

Katie Couric says that corporate media today is a "real problem":

"Whether we’re talking about ABC paying $15 million to the Trump library on what should have been an on-air correction by George Stephanopoulos or CBS paying $16 million from what almost every legal expert said was a specious lawsuit about the editing of the Kamala Harris interview [on '60 Minutes']. That was obviously because they wanted the [Paramount/Skydance] merger to go through, and it was so obvious. That, to me, is a real issue in in media today, and I found that really deplorable. That level of capitulation was just incredibly disappointing to me."

Charlize Theron says "in 10 years," AI will be able to do Timothée Chalamet’s job as an actor, but it will never be able to replace live performance like ballet:

“Oh, boy, I hope I run into him one day. That was a very reckless comment on an art form, two art forms, that we need to lift up constantly because, yes, they do have a hard time. But in 10 years, AI is going to be able to do Timothée’s job, but it will not be able to replace a person on a stage dancing live.”

Using facial recognition tech, the Knicks surveilled a trans woman, tracking her every move out of fear she'd show up on MSG's tv broadcast

And they can do it to any "enemy" of Jim Dolan, who's built his own deep state. From @NoahShachtman
