Fifteen Kalinago chiefs walked into a meeting with the British and French empires in 1660 and walked out with both sides agreeing the island was theirs. Their descendants still live there today. You just watched some of them dance. The Kalinago are the only native group in the Eastern Caribbean still around from before Columbus. Almost every other native group in the region was wiped out by European disease, slavery, displacement, or war. The Kalinago survived because they made Dominica too expensive to conquer. They had the land on their side. Dominica is mountainous and wild, full of dense rainforest. Kalinago warriors raided European ships and ambushed anyone who tried to land on the coast. After nearly two centuries of failed invasions, both empires finally gave up. They signed a treaty making Dominica officially Kalinago land. That deal lasted more than a hundred years. When Britain finally took the island in 1763, the Kalinago kept the rough east coast. They are still there. In 1903, Britain officially marked out the 3,700-acre territory, roughly six square miles. About 3,000 Kalinago live there today in eight small villages. The whole area runs by Kalinago rules. The land is shared and can only be sold to someone of Kalinago descent. Every five years, the Kalinago vote for their own chief and a six-member council to run the territory. Police based in Salybia keep order. They send their own representative to Dominica's parliament. Two Kalinago women lead Dominica today. Sylvanie Burton became the country's first female and first Kalinago president in October 2023. A year later, Anette Sanford was sworn in as the first female Kalinago chief in almost 400 years. The Kalinago's main traditional dance group is called Karifuna. The traditions they keep alive survived Spanish ships, French plantations, British soldiers, and Hurricane Maria, the 2017 storm that ripped the roof off almost every house in the territory.

Universal Music is selling $1.4 billion in Spotify shares. It paid nothing for them. Spotify handed the shares over in 2008 just for letting Spotify play music, and the deal was set up so almost none of that money would ever reach the artists who made the music. Taylor Swift's 2018 contract changed that. Back in 2008, Spotify was a small Swedish startup that needed songs to play. The big record labels had the songs. They had no reason to hand them over cheap, so the two sides cut a deal. Spotify gave them shares. The labels gave Spotify the right to play their music. Universal walked away with 5%. That stake later grew to 7% when Universal bought EMI and rolled EMI's 2% into its own. Then it drifted back to 3% as Spotify took on more investors and shrank everyone's slice. At today's prices, 3% of Spotify is worth about $2.7 billion. Universal sat on those shares for 18 years and never sold a single one. Until yesterday. Most artists never see royalty money. When a label signs you, it pays you an advance to live on while you make the album. It also covers your studio time, your music videos, your marketing, your tour. All of those costs go on a tab. The label keeps every dollar your music earns until you clear that tab. Berklee, the music school in Boston, says as many as 96% of major-label artists never earn enough to clear it. They stay in the red their entire careers. Sony moved first in 2018. It sold half its Spotify shares for $768 million and paid $250 million directly to its artists in cash, no matter how much each one still owed. Warner followed a few months later. It sold all of its Spotify shares for $504 million and said $126 million would go to its artists too. Warner played it differently. Most of that money went to pay down what those artists already owed, instead of putting fresh cash in their pockets. Taylor Swift was negotiating her own deal with Universal that same year. She refused to sign unless Universal put the Sony version of the rule in her contract. Cash to artists, no matter what they owed. She wrote at the time that the clause "meant more to me than any other deal point." Universal had said publicly in March 2018 it would share Spotify money with artists. But it had not put the cash-not-credit rule in writing. Swift's contract, signed eight months later, did. Universal is finally selling. Hundreds of millions of dollars in cash are about to land in artists' bank accounts, including artists who have spent years or decades in the red and would otherwise get nothing from a sale like this. Most of those artists have never met Taylor Swift. All of them benefit from a single line she insisted on eight years ago.

Israel controlling the weather sounds like an antisemitic conspiracy theory but more and more I am starting to believe the reports that the UAE’s cloud seeding radars (strategized with israel) were destroyed by Iran and suddenly a year’s worth of rain fell in 72 hours.
