Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

I may have created a new term.

Worksloppage (noun): The phenomenon where productivity actually halts or decreases because you're spending time sorting through, editing, or fixing AI-generated content rather than creating original work. A portmanteau of "work" + "slop" + "stoppage."

I'd really like better coverage of protest numbers from yesterday. I'm seeing estimates of 1 to 5 million, but then news headlines that say "thousands protest across America." Please update with your city info if you have a published estimate: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Trump tried to illegally remove the head of the FEC and she told him she's not leaving until it's done legally. This is an abhorrent headline from Bloomberg. It's disinformation.

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?
As long as this Elon Musk person isn’t known for blowing things up, we’re probably fine.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Just wanted to say how much I loved your interview with Ezra Klein. Absolutely fantastic and the deep, but meta — “what the hell is going on here” — discussion I had been hoping for. Reading your book now, which is fantastic. Thanks much!

Lmao getting rid of a corruption charge through corruption
The New York Times now reports that Mayor Eric Adams' defense attorney is trying to get DOJ to drop the federal corruption case against Adams by suggesting Adams will only go along with Trump's plans for mass deportations if the case is dropped. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/u...

Sharing this from another musical friend and artist.
It becomes harder and harder to get your music heard.
Let alone make a living from your lives work.
And what is being done about this ?
NOTHING.
The music industry has messed up the music industry.
