LIVING for Blake Griffin's impression of Jamal Crawford 💀 #slicejoint
No other big club operates like this. DOF and manager should be gone. Players/whole state of club a diff conversation (sack everybody) but at a minimum those two should be outta here

Gotta look into this cause this is a horrible idea
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 🧵

Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production around mid-2027, CEO Elon Musk says, after years of persistently weak sales for a futuristic model once touted as a rival to legacy pickup trucks. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/t…

A striking stat re AIPAC performance in the midterms. In 2022, almost 70% of its funds went into races where it got the desired result. In 2024, it was 87%. In 2026, that figure is 34%.

this is why I love working at @VanityFair
yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As José puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not."
AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!!

He just like me I’d do the same lol
Evan Turner says landing a 4-year $70,000,000 deal with the Portland Trail Blazers felt like winning the lottery
“My agent calls me and says, ‘I got a deal for you,’ and I'm like, ‘What is it?’ He's like, ‘From Portland. It's a 4 year deal for $70M.’ I'm like, ‘$17M?’ And he's like, ‘No. $70M.’ I'm like, ‘Oh my God’”
“Then I call my mom and I'm like, ‘Mom, I'mma sign with Portland for 4 years $70 million.’ She's like, $17M?’ I'm like, ‘No. Like 7 and a D.’ And she's like, ‘Oh my God’”
“I was supposed to go out to Portland on [July] 5th. I felt like a lottery ticket, I was trying not to die… I'm like, I can come today… let's get this deal and call it a day”
