If Paltrow is behind it, assume it's utter 'premium mediocre' trash.

Sounds That Have Been Made, EP 148: Kinsey Sessions (w/ Danny Carey) cover The Police “Driven To Tears” Scott Kinsey is probably most famous for being a co-founder of the jazz-rock fusion Tribal Tech, and he perennially holds sessions at the Baked Potato in SoCal, with a rotating case of collaborator…

He shouldn't be allowed to launch a paper plane, let alone anything more structurally ambitious.

Tax Day is a reminder of America’s unequal tax system. But we can fix it | Zohran Mamdani, Gabriel Zucman and Joseph Stiglitz There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us

A lot of the better producers are good partially because they know how to manage the artists. Sometimes the producers themselves can be onerously difficult but so good at what they do that even artists take a step back. Folks like Trevor horn, Todd Rundgren, Pat Leonard, Bob Ezrin, Téo Macero, et al

The FCC Has a Fast Lane for Complaints About Trump’s Media Critics Internal emails obtained by WIRED reveal how a conservative legal group with a direct line into FCC chairman Brendan Carr’s office built the case against Jimmy Kimmel and his employees.

NEW: Emails obtained by @wired.com show how a small conservative group was instrumental in FCC chair Brendan Carr's actions against Jimmy Kimmel. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop. No paywall bc FOIA: www.wired.com/story/the-fc...

Well, She had an early run of great producers; Jellybean, Nile Rodgers, Patrick Leonard among them.

Yes, we do. We need it for proper legal consequences, we need it for proper accountability, we need it to be used to generate fresh legislation that prevents it from happening in the future.

Release the files.

Take some acrylic paint, work it into surfaces, scan them all and start merging them through pixel surgery. Take the composite and run it through a custom sobel edge detection filter, print the output on Bristol grade paper, start adding fresh gouache paint. Repeat as needed... #art #artprocess

That is not established fact. That is a claim made by the late Gordon Thomas, which has yet to be corroborated by anyone else (but loved by conspiracists sans any examination), alongside a bunch of other unsubstantiated claims around Princess Diana, JFK, and others.

But yes, release the files.

The "no accountability we must all come together" crowd seriously needs to STFU. The Nuremberg 2: Electric Boogaloo Boys Get GTMO'd, is the only real game worth playing.

The key to democracy is showing up in large numbers

FAA controllers require an attention span that in five nines of gamers would induce an embolism of the soul.

Agreed, but I do think states have the low hanging fruit (jurisdictionally I think most Trump crimes are interstate but I'm sure that's not all of them).

The main way is to see where states can indict, such that it negates federal pardon power.

How Billionaires Sidestepped a Tax Aimed at the Rich Wall Street financiers were a clear target of the tax, but some, on questionable legal grounds, have claimed their outsized profits were exempt, sometimes avoiding hundreds of millions in taxes.

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax.

Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes.

Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, and Marjorie Taylor Greene are rats deserting a sinking ship.

Get back on the ship, rats. You deserve to drown.

I look forward to the LOL, from the absolute spike in IP piracy that is about to occur, as well as the volume of vibe-coded frontends to yt-dlp likely to crop up: www.dexerto.com/youtube/yout...

It's such a weird strategy given how things have gone to date, and how much actual evidence already exists to the contrary in the files that have been released.

If anything, it suggests she had/s a much bigger role, and that her relationship to Trump is more 'nuanced' WRT power she actually wields
