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.

Eric Bowman. Those stylized clouds are so unexpected, the last thing you'd think to do. But their overlaps, solidity, shapes, and cast shadows make this so cool.
And the horse and rider keep it from just being an abstract...it's more or less a real space.
Can't stop looking at it.

I always thought this curtain of water, a further passage into another world (after the looking glass scene) was a lovely conceit, linked as it was with the streaming downward Matrix code. Great visual thinkers, those two.

Imagine the box sitting in the attic for more than seventy years, quietly tucked away in a recess while the world outside changed, until it became a literal treasure chest! What else might be out there?

In case you were running out of things to worry about
Starlink's mega-constellation (soon to be joined by Amazon and various Chinese ones) is only 2.8 days away from a massive disaster. That's the time it would take for satellites to collide if communication with the ground is lost. So if there's a massive solar flare and we lose contact for 3 days...

The whole Iran thing... whoa. Will Iran be the first nation to fall apart because of climate change?
They were really stupid about water management for decades, but if there was no drought they wouldn't be running dry now... and maybe no protests?
Whatever happens it's going to be unprecedented.

One of my few paperback covers. Book had a powerful premise—a field expands through the galaxy that uniformly cause amnesia. But we never get to witness civilizational collapse and rebuilding. Story commences decades later.

Earth, I can't emphasize enough, is a very special place
New paper alert!
tl;dr: the seafloor of Europa is probably tectonically inert, meaning little to no active fracturing that could expose fresh rock to seawater.
Without such water–rock reactions the prospect for there being life within Europa just took a big hit.

This was a major initiative from the Biden White House, based in the idea of getting together all the countries with a stake in this crisis. They pressured China to stop precursor chemicals, hit hard at the capital funding for production in Mexico, and funded Narcan in the U.S. It apparently worked.
