if musicians are getting mistaken for pederasts i'd like it to be because a human accidentally typed "diddler" into the cms instead of "fiddler"
New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...

i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

this is the main reason i’m so pessimistic for the oligarch capture of tiktok in the us. have seen a bunch of posts being like “well they’re gonna fuck it up and users will flee” and while there’s plenty of evidence for the 1st claim, you have to square the 2nd claim with ongoing twitter usage. so.

I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years
