This is a flagrant lie from Hakeem Jeffries. He says that AIPAC announced it would stop political fundraising 3 weeks ago. That’s simply not true. They said they would stop writing $5k checks directly from AIPAC but would continue with their super PAC and direct fundraising.
ROLAND MARTIN: “What do you say to folks who don’t think you’re the speaker for this moment? And have issues with your AIPAC ties?”
@RepJeffries:
-Takes credit for the Blue wave
-lists “battles” with Trump (few won)
-Says AIPAC is out of campaigns (they’ve shifted tactics)

You know your financial future is looking bright when you’re talking up all the money you’re gonna save by not buying fancy sandwiches!
Skydance has uncovered “tens of millions” of dollars in luxury hospitality spending under the former Warner Bros. Discovery regime, including expenses for dining, travel and gifts, according to two sources:
• The former WBD regime spent in ways big and small — like stacks of receipts for sandwiches and green juices from the gourmet grocery store Erewhon
• The company expects to save “millions” by reducing spending on outside vendors, studio services and redundant marketing budgets
• One source even suggests press junkets will be revamped

U2’s The Edge wrote an ‘Elf’ sequel, says Andy Richter:
“Somebody reached out to [producer Shauna Robertson] and said, ‘The Edge from U2 has written a sequel to ‘Elf,’ and he wants to talk to you about it. It’s the weirdest story, but apparently it was fully written. Somewhere in the world there is an Edge-penned ‘Elf 2’ out there… I would love for that to make the light of day. It never happened. It’s one of those things where she’s like, ‘All right, sure, I’ll meet him,’ and then it just petered out and never happened.”

I lack the vocabulary to adequately express just how much this disgusts me
Spotify just announced a feature that could either save the music industry or destroy it.
Starting as early as Q1 2027, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to use AI to transform any participating artist’s song into a completely different version. Turn a folk ballad into a dance track. Make a hip-hop song sound acoustic. Generate a cover where one artist’s voice performs another artist’s song. Remix a pop hit into lo-fi study music. Create the version of your favorite song that only existed in your head until now.
The remixes will be uploaded directly to Spotify. They’ll appear in playlists. They’ll count toward the original song’s chart position. And most importantly the original artist will earn royalties every time someone listens to a fan-created remix of their work.
Spotify has already signed a landmark licensing deal with Universal Music Group the world’s largest record label. Negotiations with Sony Music and Warner Music are ongoing. The feature will cost an additional $4–$5/month on top of Spotify Premium. And analysts project 7–8% of American subscribers will adopt it by 2028.
This is not Suno or Udio generating music from text prompts. This is fans remixing real songs by real artists with the artists’ permission, on the world’s largest streaming platform, with royalties flowing back to the creators.
A music industry analyst who’s covered streaming economics for 15 years told her team something after reading the licensing agreement that reframed how she understood the future of recorded music.
“Spotify just turned 640 million listeners into 640 million potential remixers. The question isn’t whether people will use it they will. The question is whether paying artists for fan remixes solves the economics of streaming or creates a world where the original recording is worth less than the infinite remixes generated from it.”
Here’s what Spotify’s AI remix feature actually is, who wins, who loses, and why this might be the most consequential decision in the music industry since the launch of streaming itself 🧵

Fundamental misunderstanding of what makes Pattinson compelling. Should be a Bond villain with another fuckass voice.

Great boxing writer and also famously mistaken for @cwhitey6 by @MoneyLynch after Marshawn’s first game with Seattle. RIP Jon Saraceno
This is sad, sad news. Saw so much of Jon for years in #boxing and spent many nights together on the road back when. Last spent time together in Louisville for Ali's funeral. On that trip, Jon almost stepped on what looked to be a beautiful, dead, Monarch butterfly while walking with a group of friends. He picked the butterfly up and it quivered. He said, "fly Ali, fly". The butterfly flew out of his hand. Lost touch over the last few years, but never forgot that moment and those times. Rest in peace, my old friend. Fly upward.
