if you’re thinking of music from diamond commercials, it might be Spring by Vivaldi

Bob Jones called this out MONTHS ago. I guess now we know why the right wing keeps screaming for CBC to be de-funded.

they seemed to be leaking in from one particular instance I was subbed to. I unsubbed from that instance before coffee this morning and now I can’t even remember which one it was, so I’m seeing fewer of them, at least.

That nice lady is in the Beacon 23 show.

I thought the mood was that everything should be monopolized by the super rich.

23 skidoo

spot-on observation. always follow the money

I keep waiting for Amazon to start generating AI-driven online profiles spouting Ai-driven selling points for AI-generated media.
It’s the AI version of “Flood the zone with shit” except the entire internet is The Zone.

this is the “can it run DOOM” of manufacturing

well the artwork undeniably is.
but the point stands: obvious Xitter bot army is obvious.

what’s this? an anti-corporate message that sneers at cable TV companies??? CANCEL THAT SHOW!!!

that show was so amazingly prescient: the theme of the first episode was how advertising literally kills its viewers and the news covers things up. No wonder they didn’t get renewed. ;)

allow me to rebut:
It feels like in most cases Apple is saying “I can do whatever the fuck I want and you won’t remember a goddamn thing”, like the lovely lady in that movie Memento.

Apple had a new phone out, they pushed a software update to slow down the old phones, and didn’t tell anyone they did it: end of story. I remember the very day this happened, no word of a lie. For it to take this goddamn long to actually be financially accountable for doing this is a crime unto itself.

I wish I’d read this article before Social Media destroyed my soul. Oh well.

and hey, seeing as the soulless need music now more than ever: go listen to my band’s second album! https://songwhip.com/thethreeleonards Even if your soul has also been lost to Social Media I’m sure there will be something you enjoy.

See? Only a soulless artist would plug their art this shamelessly. :)

Eventually all comments will be AI-generated too, carefully crafted to ensure humans follow a paid narrative.

“Space Doggity” by Jonathan Coulton still gets me. It’s about Laika, the first dog in space. Also the first dog to not come back from space. Jonathan is a particularly genius songwriter and this one does not disappoint.

Why Should I Cry For You is both beautiful and pleasant and ruinous

This reminds me of the posts people used to make on FaceBook where they’d post a paragraph of text specifically denying FB/Meta the right to do anything with their personal data. It’s well-intentioned, but it may not persuade a bot to ignore what you write.

it changes things if you’ve ever wanted to become a new anchor

pour one out for the kids in the back.

yes, I use the headphone jack on my phone.

I can’t abide the idea of paying extra money for a separate device to plug in headphones to use a phone. That’s like forcing people to buy a straw to drink their coffee because they’re not allowed to drink it from a cup anymore.
