I'd be so down for this conversation from the rando at the next table, but I am probably a psycho too.

As testimony unfolds in the Prairieland case, it appears that authorities used horrific jail conditions to pressure defendants to "cooperate."

In 2018, when Russian secret police tortured political arrestees into signing false confessions, we warned that this tactic would eventually reach the US.

Yeah. I've listened on cheap boomboxes, your average bookshelf system, fancy 1970s speakers, custom built stereos with patented bass speakers, etc etc etc and only the act of listening matters. Not the how. A faint AM broadcast heard in a 1986 Plymouth K car can be perfection.

Some insane loser shit. We all know the only appropriate album to show off your, *checks notes* sound system that costs more than housing for 20 people, is Kraftwerk's Computer World.

Just thinking about what the expected return must be on that investment. 5x what they paid? $1 billion? Like how is anyone's catalog worth that kind of cash in licensing fees and whatever else they can get away with?

Essentially because some people are willing to pay more. I however am not.

Feel bad for Britney that she's getting dragged back out for another public shaming (which is why I didn't link the story) but I'm still trying to figure out how someone thinks than can make like $1 billion off licensing her music.

Tucked in that story about Britney Spears getting arrested for a DUI yesterday is the fact she sold her catalog last year for $200 million and I have no idea who would think her music was worth that much in 2025.
