I think if they are a good singer who can interpret material well, it’s great. I mean look at Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston — they both performed amazing versions of “I will always love you” but only one of them wrote it.

I do find it funny how most famous singers these days will claim a songwriting credit by adding one line to a tune. Gotta get that publishing credit $$$$!

Just more excuses to track you.

It’s performative nonsense.

I don’t talk to those relatives anymore. It’s done wonders for my mental health.

It doesn’t matter. It’s propaganda. And MAGA will believe whatever lies they are sold by dear leader. These are people who swallow lies like government funding for transsexual rat experiments, immigrants eating cats and dogs, and putting “Enola Gay” on a WWII warplane is DEI.

Will this be an actual study, or just a “study” where they bend the data to suit their agenda?

Sounds like a “rule” not a law. And also sounds very unconstitutional.

Someone being sued by the government should flip the script and ask the government to ante up.

Pointing at Melania’s breasts is a very Trump thing to do.

This is a great way to get Apple to pull manufacturing out of Brazil.

They’re losing out because the studios own the streaming channels, not the theaters. They make more profit by sending the movie out of the theater and onto their channels as soon as possible.

I guess Google didn’t buy enough meal tickets to Trump’s access dinners.

I wonder if Elon has driven off a good chunk of his quality SpaceX employees yet?

EVs don’t need fancy brakes because they use regenerative braking.

VW lost the plot on product names years ago.

There are currently no plans to ship this (or the slightly larger longer range model) in the US. 🙄

School shootings have been around loooooong before SSRIs were invented.

As someone who lives in one of the richest counties in a red state, they’ve already gutted the education system so there is no longer a difference between counties.

That state is Texas.

• The state claimed all our school funding would be solved by introducing a state lottery. It didn’t do a damned thing. Funding is worse than ever. Oh, but lobbyists have started running commercials for casino gambling with the same promise.
• The state confiscates and redistributes school taxes.
• Austin takes in a huge amount of tax revenue, but can’t afford to pay its teachers because the taxes are confiscated and sent to the state.
• The state gives Austin’s tax money to other school districts so they can build water parks and sports stadiums.
• What doesn’t get redistributed gets confiscated and held by the state in a “rainy day” fund that never gets spent.
• Not satisfied with this, the state wants to create a voucher program where tax money will be spent on private schools instead. Those vouchers won’t be spent on teachers or students though. It goes to administrators, and the pockets of investors.

Governments are aiming for the wrong problem. Instead of pushing for alternate stores or side loading apps, they should be forcing manufacturers to open their devices to alternative OSes.

Don’t like the Apple App Store? Install Linux on your iPhone. Or Android. Or maybe even Windows Phone (if MS was smart enough to jump at the opportunity).

Yes UK. Make it easier for your enemies and frenemies to hack into your data. I’m sure that will work out well.

This is the future that republicans want. They’re going to privatize your schools so the rich can grift you into paying for administrator salaries and can make profit from public education.
