For the AI musicians out there who create songs just using prompts:
A fully AI-generated song via prompts gets no formal royalties from collecting societies like ASCAP.
Pure AI output is ineligible for copyright under US law, as confirmed by the Supreme Court decision in March 2026.
Loved this episode, especially the callback to smashing those Meta Ray-Ban glasses at the Luddites Tribunal last fall! That was so much fun, and so glad I got to meet Amanda there. Can't wait for the documentary!
The Luddite Club started in a Brooklyn high school, but it’s become so much more.
This week Amanda Hanna-McLeer and Lucy Jackson join @parismarx.com to discuss ditching smartphones, getting off social media, and what it means to be a modern Luddite.

This article is dogshit for many reasons, chief of them that it doesn’t ever actually discuss what AI does or why it’s such a big deal, just that it’s not just “predicting the next token.” Its only argument is that “the left” (which includes the New York Times!) should use AI for some reason.
Pam Bondi’s testimony on the Epstein files revealed one key thing: The attorney general isn't interested in truth or justice.
I never thought dismantling the federal government would be so stupid

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
BEST HALFTIME SHOW EVER!

A post by Roxane Gay that discredits Trump's claims that a "staffer" posted the racist photo of the Obamas.
Truth.
Didn't think I could love Bad Bunny more but this was beyond perfection. Having Liam there & giving him is Grammy said it all❤️🐰❤️
Bad Bunny “together we are America”
I mean I am up dancing. Plus Cardi, Gaga, Ricky Martin? Brilliant.
Criticizing our country is a right afforded to us by the constitution.
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Just confirmed it myself by viewing the video on Truth Social. This is real. He really did this and he has not deleted it.
Kaitlan Collins: “Tulsi Gabbard’s hunt for the president's long sought but never found evidence of widespread voter fraud now extends beyond the state of Georgia—
When it comes to who exactly asked Gabbard to be there, the level of finger pointing has almost taken on a SpideMan meme-like quality”
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

I always feel kinda patronizing talking about this, but gosh damn the growth of woman's basketball warms the cockles of my heart. There's 21,500 people at this Unrivaled game. Hell yes.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.
And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.
Sit with that.
