I can't find it now but recently saw someone describe being an interdisciplinary artist as "doing crop rotation on your brain" and I can't think of a better descriptor

@RockyLotito @statspros @FearedBuck LLMs were developed as a tool for translators. And that is the only thing they were ever good at. They're for translators who already know both languages and can quickly fix flawed LLM output. They're terrible at everything else

@statspros @FearedBuck AI is a solution in search of a problem

@Assassin1629 This isn't even top 10 worst Talisa moments. She's so bad. Everything good that happens is just a lucky accident

so you refuse to cut Mack because you have a alma mater fetish.
you refuse to buyout lexie because youre the idiot who traded for her and gave up a good pick.
you wasted a year of my young players development because you signed Heideman as pg1.
youre gonna lose your job talisa

“Apocalyptic” decline in insects is already causing malnutrition, pioneering new research concludes. It’s long past time to take this ignored crisis very seriously indeed.

@natssssart @Professor_Fries @ADunaway3000 they have local promoters and labels that are paying for those tours. They are acting as agents, they are filling out paperwork.
People think doing this is easy, it's incredibly difficult. It's not just about booking some flights and hotels. Visas for starters.

Super long thread that just neglects to touch on the main grievances fans have. Why are the ticket buying systems so overly restrictive? Requires jp number AND bank card? People will jump through all these hoops and still be denied AT THE DOOR cuz no jp address on their id.

Recently I came across comments like: “But buying tickets is difficult because everything is restricted to Japan, registration requires a Japanese phone number, videos are region-locked… Does Japan even want foreigners to access their music?” That's a very very long thread 👇
English
@BickleKun @Professor_Fries @ADunaway3000 I find it hard to believe they don't have the resources. Japanese metal bands and jazz musicians have no problem performing for international fans. But Jpop has a weird business model that revolves around exclusivity
English
@natssssart @Professor_Fries @ADunaway3000 as someone who has literally been working with Japanese management for decades, they don't have the resources
I have literally sat in companies you've heard of offices with cinderblock walls, unpainted
Which ones are you specifically referring to?
English
@BickleKun @Professor_Fries @ADunaway3000 I think Jpop has some management problems. Japanese musicians in every other genre go overseas all the time. But Jpop is allergic to it
English
@natssssart @Professor_Fries @ADunaway3000 yes that's what I keep saying. There has to be an international backer, they're not going to go out on their own 99% of the time
even if they're signed to a major like Sony that does have international outlets it doesn't mean they're interested
English
@Michelle_Betts_ @a_g_haubner @JJBittenbindr They might've changed the rules since Dijonai was there. Or maybe they only offer one scholarship degree per athlete. So they'll offer a bachelor's or master's but not both
English
@natssssart @a_g_haubner @JJBittenbindr Oh really? What about that grad transfer they had the year after they won the championship? Not a grad transfer?

Really good reporting from Marisa Ingemi about the structural problems with Stanford women’s basketball.
Let me add some reporting of my own…
The toxic culture existed towards Tara Vanderveer’s last years at Palo Alto.
SkinsHoops86@SkinsHoops86
Ex-Stanford players, parents say women’s basketball coach created toxic culture Player transfers, claims of an abusive culture, and no NCAA Tournament berths for two years add up to a diminished program in Palo Alto. via @sfstandard sfstandard.com/2026/05/15/sta…

@ADunaway3000 @Professor_Fries @BickleKun Tricot also works with both and has done international tours
English
@natssssart @Professor_Fries @BickleKun One can work with both like Lovebites, who has been on the road for 8 years and signed with Napalm, a well known metal music label.
English
@Professor_Fries @ADunaway3000 @BickleKun The solution to the problem is international record labels. There are already Japanese rock bands like Boris, Mono, Melt-Banana, and Merzbow that work with overseas labels instead of Japanese ones
English
@ADunaway3000 @BickleKun The things Nano is pleasing for fans to do is already happening on our side. Supporting on socials, streaming online (when the publisher makes it available that this), seeing them live. The thing that has to give is on the publisher side not the fans "needing to do more".
English
@chinuhodo Tons of independent Japanese bands have been touring the US for decades. They tour with US bands all the time. The artists that say they can't do a US tour must have a weird manager or record label
English
It’s fine if they’d just admit they don’t want foreigners attending their concerts. But they always ask why they’re not as big as kpop, why they’re not doing better globally, like… please look inside. All your issues are because your industry doesn’t want us at all.
English
Japan artists post these all the time but fail to understand that their entertainment industry inherently hates foreigners. From region locking music digitally to needing a Japanese address and phone number to buy concert tickets… it gets exhausting, honestly.

If you’re a fan of Japanese music and live outside of Japan, I would be so grateful if you take a moment to read this🙏 If you’ve ever wondered why more Japanese artists don’t reach out and do shows & tours overseas, the reason is pretty simple and the main one is the hurdle of selling tickets. There is only a SMALL percentage of artists that can rely on the power of big labels/agents to promote their shows internationally. Even in Japan, selling out shows is a lot more challenging than in past years, due to people just being satisfied with digital content. And considering it costs even more to bring a tour overseas, you can imagine how many artists are willing to LOSE money by doing so, if any. It’s not just about the artist not being popular or sufficient enough, or that they don’t have the will to bring their content to fans around the world. In fact, there are so many fellow artists around me that I highly respect, telling me they wish they could do shows overseas, but know it’s not realistically possible, and as someone who yearns for the same thing, it really, really hurts inside. More importantly, it hurts most that fans around the world will often never ever be able to see a show of their favorite Japanese artist. I’m not trying to ask for pity, nor demand anything, unless this resonates with you. But if it does, and you want to know what you can do to help us reach you with our music, it’s really very simple. Please go follow artist’s socials. Please go subscribe to their Youtube channels. Please find them on Spotify. Please interact with them by commenting and letting them know you’re there to support them. Please share your passion with the people around you. AND PLEASE, don’t miss the opportunity to buy a ticket and GO to their shows, when that miraculous opportunity comes, whether it’s a solo or event stage. I am not exaggerating when I say it IS a miracle and it might never happen again. I know writing all this isn’t gonna change much, but I just hope it reminds you that every listener, every fan, every second of support matters in keeping music alive, particularly in this generation. Thanks for listening, if you made it this far🫶 Let’s keep Rocking On. NANO

@kayinterrupted Yeah! Blaming a player for a common sports injury is ridiculous. Who would do something like that?

@ezimagbegoat They need to upgrade the concussion protocol for all women's sports leagues. It's not enough to just copy the protocol from men's leagues. They should go several steps beyond that
English
@WNBAStormChaser WNBA staff have done this so many times. WNBA expects women's brains to withstand impacts the way men's do. Science shows women are more likely to get concussions healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/202…

Dallas media should ask him what they were doing in those 3 hour practices tbh. Atp Dallas is a joke and hope they keep getting whacked. I might flip if I don’t see a line

Arike & Paige both saying the team had not practiced these defensive schemes 💔 they never had a chance
English
@finestlinds This is so bad lmfao. There's almost no time to practice during the season. Most WNBA teams spend training camp on defense and then implement their offense throughout the season. It's madness to try and do it the other way around
English
So what are we doing in practice exactly????
