  • So it’s like we are entering the Dark Ages for Information. Maybe Dark Information Age or something. There is an insane amount of information available but we are moving to a society in which there is no way to ensure information validity for the average person. Deep fakes are getting way too good. It won’t be long before we have no way to determine validity. Video evidence is now suspect and so is audio. We need some sort of golden record which only reflects accurate information. Like news orgs used to be viewed before infotainment like Fox “News” really started taking off.



  • As an artist on the streaming platforms, I don’t just distribute music to one, it gets sent out to all. I put the most effort into growing my Apple and Amazon music streams as they actually pay. Spotify gives me by far the most streams but they don’t pay shit so I just don’t put much effort into that. YouTube seems to pay pretty well for music streaming, even got some royalties from TikTok even though I didn’t realize I was on there. I heard Tidal and Deezer pay well but I don’t have listeners there so not much I can do with that.


  • As an American, I would recommend that folk reconsider travel to the US during the current administration. There are no longer checks and balances and it’s a very dangerous place at the moment. They’re removing all accountability for the border patrol and any immigration adjacent services so they can now do whatever they want. You’re at the complete mercy of the immigration service and they have full latitude to do whatever they want (legal or illegal) as the threat of repercussions have been removed. Be safe out there.
