Most people are decent and it's just a few ruining it for everyone else. One day we'll learn how to marginalise them into obscurity.

Holy shit, that’s just actual theft.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

For non-German speakers:
“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

Chris Mason inserting himself into the story as always.
And while Mason rattles on about U turns, it's worth pointing out that Starmer never confirmed to him in that interview that the card would be mandatory.

A ten-part thread on misreading Trump:
A number of thoughtful observers argued Trump would not pursue regime change in Venezuela. From the outset I argued that he would on the podcast and in private conversation.

A defining moment for Europe. If it endorses/fails to condemn this flagrant breach of international law, it will have surrendered its core justification for opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
JUST IN: Trump says the U.S. has captured Maduro and his wife and flown them out of the country.

In a nutshell - blame AI.
A technology nobody asked for, a fast-growing environmental problem, a wrecking ball to the creative industries and, in less than a couple of years, a planetary-sized fiscal disaster.

5 things that will fix the corruption in our politics:
1. Ban hedge funds from buying single-family homes.
2. Prohibit Congress and families from stock trading.
3. Remove big money from politics: Ban unions, corporations, super PACs; limit individual donations to $100 per election.

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

As political scandals go, a grubby backroom deal to, errrr, lift 450,000 children out of poverty is at least a novel one.
Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?
