Ars Technica (Apple News Link apple.news/AVxEPf4scRfa...) is reporting that Google will pay wall music video lyrics. They’ve been testing and seem to be expanding.

My recent videos have closed captioned lyrics burned in.

I want people to see my lyrics.

Google experiments with locking YouTube Music lyrics behind paywall — Ars Technica

After a lengthy test, YouTube Music is making lyrics a premium feature.

What if that One and I were the last on Earth
We both like civilization for what that’s worth
But the apocalypse was tiring and we both agree
Be Eve and Adam next life and then, maybe

From “Way of Attraction,” a recent new song.

Mother Jones

@motherjones.com

A preachy vibe emanated throughout the TPUSA half-time show, including the reminder that outside of God, one “should be getting married, having children.”

Meanwhile, Bad Bunny's performance included a real-life wedding. No judgment. No spite. Just an invitation for all to join the happy couple.

The biggest thing missing from TPUSA's halftime show: joy

Instead, MAGA's Super Bowl alternative was filled with spite, Charlie Kirk memorials, and jorts.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Newly written song. Figured out the riff yesterday while watching Deliver Me From Nowhere. Unsurprisingly, it sounds like Long Run era Eagles.

What happens next, roll the dice
As I’m beaten by their crew
I’ve been taken by the lawless
And for telling what they do

I’ve been watching long-mix videos on YouTube, then building similar playlists on Apple Music (since my gear is synced with it for personal use) to practice mixing in their flow. It feels like I’m back in my musical youth, practicing bass. If you have any videos you’d recommend, please let me know!

NBC appears to cut crowd’s booing of JD Vance from Winter Olympics broadcast

JD Vance was greeted by a chorus of boos when he appeared at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milan on Friday, although American viewers watching NBC’s coverage would have been unaware of the reception.
