I always find it funny when music snobs say they don’t want any curation on streaming services because ‘I don’t need anyone to tell me what to listen to’. I have found some of the dopest tracks ever by checking out playlists and I’m a huge music head. I would even say more so because of streaming 🎧

@patrickworld

LOL, maybe I'm old but isn't that how radio works?

I much prefer playlists rather than channels on streaming. Otherwise, I listen to WXPN out of Philly, which you can also stream live. ✌️

@4bz @patrickworld

WXPN does that. Its a Philly university station under public radio. They have special genre programs and promote new music. Hardly any advertisements which is awesome. Schedule is at their web site. wxpn.org. It is pretty 'white' but they try to expand with their special programs. ✌️

p.s. Through them I found other stations across the country that have different genre focus, i.e. Rhythm Lab Radio out of Milwaukee.

As a fan a game 7 for FLAvBOS would make the eventual winner more tired for the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals that start next Wednesday, May 22nd.

For the first time I noticed the WTA is directly offering live streaming from their web site. It says it is free and covers the WTA 125 level tournaments. Just passing this info along.

Is it me or does it seem there is way to much time being spent in the Rangers end?

Maybe this PP will change that.

Exactly. They even seemed to have more time with the puck during the PP.

Friends. I don't get it.

I understand the idea of a loan: borrow money, pay it back over time plus a fee for the favor of having more money sooner.

I understand having a company and taking out a loan: borrow money to do something to help the company make more money and pay it off... but it's OK you made enough that it was a good idea.

But HOW can someone borrow money to BUY a company then say the cost of the loan should go on the companies books?

I don't get it. :(

MagentaRocks,
@MagentaRocks@mastodon.coffee avatar

@futurebird

It is very complicated and depends upon the type of loan, and ownership structure of the company you are buying. It also depends on who/what is getting the money from the sale. This requires a proper answer from a tax and accounting expert.

I am sorry I can not gift this hot mess of a corporate-media drama article (there is no such option) but I think it will become available to all readers at some point.) It reads like real-life Succession minus the national politics. No wonder what is happening across the industry is so effed up. Don't give them your money.

TIL about the author Richard Flanagan. This excerpt from his new book, 'Question 7', is compelling and a bit horrifying. While reading, I found myself making sure I could breath.The book is out in the UK and coming to the US in September.

It just struck me what Apple got wrong with its “crushing ad.”

They thought we would identify with the iPad, not the creative instruments and materials.

@glennf @JonChevreau

I look forward to a smart filmmaker retort that demonstrates everything an ipad can not do when it comes to all the artistic items they crushed.
