@generalslug you’re a victim of marketing I’m so sorry that you had to hear Cameron’s voice, are you gonna be ok?
English
“erm this is just called marketing” yeah and success being a pay-to-win scheme/“what people like” becoming indistinguishable from “what was most aggressively funded”is a bad thing lol

The Brooklyn band Geese was labeled an “industry plant” by those who questioned its sudden ubiquity. Maybe it was. wired.com/story/geese-ch…

@FelonKeller31 @johnsemley3000 @WIRED "They organically acquired fans via both of those products." You sound like a real live human music lover.
English
@johnsemley3000 @WIRED This is just bad journalism. You dont mention the reception of their 2023 album, or that they toured the with KGATLW in ‘24. They organically acquired fans via both of those products.
And you didn’t “investigate,” you outsourced your thoughts to a substacker. Hack
English
burner accounts, trend simulation, manufactured discourse: music marketers are embracing new online tools to get ears on new music. is it just business as usual? and ARE Geese an industry plant?
I investigate music's dirty little secret, for @WIRED .

@McLagy see this is the thing is people can just say they don’t like the band it doesn’t need to be a shadowy psyop designed to trick you, personally i love their work, i can’t get enough
English
no offense but if you see this and buy into people saying “they’re not actually that well liked and are a psyop” you’re kind of stupid

@PrimaryCinema Sure they are. Not every good band is trying to get radio play. Massive cop out.
English
My only source for this is Scott Aukerman saying it on a podcast lol but apparently Talking Heads paid payola for radio play of Burning Down The House so like, nobody’s innocent of this stuff.

@AdamFrost99158 @Wifesucker @RoninJoey @maysoonzayid Maybe Democrats should learn how to win a fucking election instead of simply appealing to the maximum amount of corporate donors.

@Wifesucker @RoninJoey @maysoonzayid All you dip shit leftists some how feel "vindicated" by this? Grow up.

It’s crazy that we watched shit like this and still have motherfuckers talking about “we need to yell at leftists on twitter”

This will sound like an obnoxious “only in New York thing” but randomly deciding to walk 6 miles home from work because it’s a nice day and you want some fresh air is really an amazing experience you can’t get anywhere else

Zohran Mamdani walked 6 miles home last night from the New York City Hall to round out his first 100 days in office.

Every time I hear a song from one of the top-selling k-pop groups, I become more certain that k-pop is the worst form of internationally popular music overall.

BTS drops the music video for “Hooligan.” How would you rate it out of 10?

This is an account close to the Iranian leadership. We are now seeing the shape of why Iran agreed so enthusiastically to this "ceasefire".
They will control and toll the Strait for the first time. They keep their nuclear program. They keep their missiles.
What a disaster.

۰۴:۳۶/ ۱۹ فروردین طی ‘توقف آتش’ دو هفته ای، تنها حدود ۱۰ تا ۱۵ کشتی با موافقت ایران، در هماهنگی با نیروی دریایی سپاه و پس از پرداخت عوارض از تنگه هرمز رد خواهند شد و امریکا متعهد است تمام اموال بلوکه شده ایران را آزاد کند. تنگه هرمز به هیچ وجه حتی پس از توافق نهایی به شکل سابق، ‘باز’ نخواهد شد. علاوه بر این امریکا متعهد شده در این مدت از هر نوع جابجایی نیرو خودداری کند. در این مدت مذاکرات بر اساس طرح ۱۰ ماده ای ایران که در متن بیانیه شورای عالی امنیت ملی به جزئیات آن اشاره شده، برگزار خواهد شد. در صورت عدم توافق، جنگ مجددا از سر گرفته می شود.

@agraybee @CentristMadness To be clear, if you told me in abstract that a former al-Qaeda officer had become head of Syria, my expectation would be Mugabe in best case, worst case basically everyone dead.

You all thought the multipolar world order meant China and Russia get to call the shots when it actually meant a former Al-Qaeda commander teams up with a Jewish Ukrainian comedian to take down Iran.

Very good news. “The US will allow,” of course, means “will not illegally intercept and seize the entirely legal and legitimate sovereign trade in oil”
