AI slop tops Billboard and Spotify charts as synthetic music spreads Hits include country songs and a Dutch anti-refugee anthem, both entirely made without human composition

this unsettling article makes me think we all need to do more music recommendations to each other - i do my “best of” list every year but i am frequently extremely late with it and maybe it’s a little overload to hit people with 20-25 albums - anyways, ai music is two thumbs down from me

Group behind Project 2025 urges FBI to brand ‘transgender extremists’ a terror threat In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death, the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation proposed a broad definition of trans ‘extremism’ that would seemingly cover a wide range of pro-LGBT+ activism

Texas Democrat sleeps in chambers after refusing GOP law enforcement escort mandate A trio of Texas Democrats slept overnight Monday in the statehouse instead of traveling home with a mandated law enforcement escort ordered by the Republican leadership.

I’m certainly not an expert in TX law but it sounds a lot like kidnapping what they’re doing to TX State Rep Nicole Collier and other TX Democrats. If confining a person who refuses to sign a waiver isn’t illegal, then it should be. (of course, legality has hardly stopped the kidnappings here in CA)
