i’m in a giant CC chain about some server maintenance and I’ve just gotten a message failed to deliver because there’s so many internal and external vendors with giant signatures and disclosure disclaimers that we hit 554-5.3.4 “Maximum number of body parts exceeded”

I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

Heck if you're lucky, you can do it programmatically: starting with wikipedia entries -> wikidata id -> musicbrainz release group -> add to listenbrainz playlist -> fetch youtube/applemusic (or even navidrome (pog))
If any data is missing, you can edit & contribute too!!

So, Wikipedia has a giant list with a page for each ost/score.

I'd expect ListenBrainz to have metadata with streaming links. You might be able to create a playlist on LB by combining all of it (or just some?). The benefit? LB can fetch & play from multiple places

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

I've never had a video throttled even a hundredth this badly before.
Talk about Israel on YouTube, lose your channel for the privilege. Unfortunate.

The most effective way to change minds on a complex topic is a simple, easily-digestible aphorism and as far as those go I think this is among the best.
This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:
"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.
Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
That’s what we have to change.
