It could be argued that the extreme greed of the Beatles' licensing people is a major contributing factor to them having almost zero cultural relevancy with Generation Z and below, most of whom have no idea who the fuck “The Beatles” are, since they were never exposed to them

Sam Altman thinks RAM sitting in personal computers is a waste when it could be put to better use in data centers.
Weird. I was just thinking that all those billions sitting in billionaires’ bank accounts could be put to much better use in our communities.
you know Chad was the secret sauce in Neptunes because at one point we waited 10+ years for a new beat and then Pharrell dropped Lemon and you could hear the soul wasn't in it
pharrell's trying to erase chad from the neptunes, literally trying to cut him out of the trademark and royalties
so i made a site, A CASE FOR CHAD HUGO DOCUMENTING HIS CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC AT LARGE. SUPPORT LIVING ARTISTS.

Mos Def warned us.
🔴 New Investigation: The son of an Israeli secret agent, Lyor Cohen is the most important man in hip hop having owned Def Jam music & Roc-A-Fella managing some of the most famous rappers & singers. With inordinate influence over the genre, he has made his views on Israel/Palestine clear, and has used his influence to stamp out what he sees as anti-semitism in the industry.
He is now head of YouTube Music, and is working with the U.S. State Department on a new program directly modeled on the CIA’s successful Cold War-era attempts to use American artists to help force through color revolutions in targeted countries.

It’s like the screenwriters aren’t even trying anymore. Literally just giving the audience the same copypasta from the 2022 season.
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

Algo hizo crack en la pandemia. Desde ahí empezó a imperar un sálvese quién pueda, una falta de empatía brutal, y un pasotismo general a la hora de hacer las cosas, y los trabajos. Esto va más allá de izquierdas y de derechas, se puede constatar en todos los ámbitos y sectores.

ルラ陣営がSNSのアルゴリズムを避けるためにとった手法とのこと
XとかFacebook のアルゴリズムによる修正が入る可能性を避けるためにWhatsappを利用。
1. 招待リンクによる「グループの乱立と細分化」
WhatsAppのグループチャットを活用。陣営はWebサイトやSNS上に「招待リンク」を大量に配置。
グループの人数条件で満員になれば次へ自動誘導: 1つのグループが定員に達すると、自動的に「グループ2」「グループ3」へと参加者を振り分けるリンク管理ツールを導入。
属性別のセグメント化: 「学生」「年金生活者」「福音派キリスト教徒」「特定地域の住民」など、属性や関心ごとに数千〜数万の細分化されたグループを網の目のように立ち上げた。
2. 「デジタル・アンバサダー（伝道師）」の育成
中央組織が全国民に一斉送信したのではなく、熱心な支持者を「中継地点（ハブ）」に仕立てた。
[選挙対策本部 / コアチーム]
│
▼（毎朝、画像・短文・動画・反論ネタを配信）
[数万人のアクティブ支持者・ボランティア]
│
▼（各自が私生活のグループへ「手動」で転送・シェア）
[家族・親戚グループ / 職場の同僚 / 地元の友人 / 教会仲間]
WhatsAppはスパム対策として「一度に転送できる宛先数」に制限（最大5件まで、頻繁に転送されたメッセージは1件まで）。そこで陣営は、ボランティアに「自分の言葉を添えて、自分が所属する家族グループや趣味のグループにシェアしてほしい」と呼びかけた。
これにより、プラットフォーム側の自動スパム検知をすり抜けながら、極めて自然な形で無数のプライベート空間へ浸透。
3. Telegramとのハイブリッド運用
WhatsAppはグループ人数の上限が厳しかったため、陣営はTelegramも併用。Telegramには数十万人規模が入れる巨大チャンネルを作れる利点。
Telegramの巨大チャンネルで「今日拡散してほしい画像やファクトチェック記事」を一斉配布し、それを受け取った支持者たちがWhatsAppへと持ち帰って身近な人へ配る、というリレー形式。
4. 24時間体制の反論・ファクトチェックBot
相手陣営からフェイクニュースやネガティブキャンペーンが流れてきた際、有権者が「これ本当？」と転送して確認できる自動応答窓口（WhatsAppビジネスAPIを活用したBot）を設置。
「それはデマです。正しい事実はこちら」という短尺の画像や動画が即座に返信され、受け取ったユーザーはそのまま元の会話グループに「これデマらしいよ」と貼り付けて打ち消すことができた。
WhatsApp戦略は「無数の家庭のリビングに、信頼できる家族の1人として入り込んで直接耳打ちする」ようなネットワークを人力とツールで構築。
SNSじゃなくてpeer-to-peerってことは鍵がアルゴリズムから人間に移ってたってこと。人海戦術とキーパーソン。
