By expanding illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and refusing to consider Palestinian self-determination, “we’re watching a situation that will recur” in the Middle East, argues former US ambassador to Israel, Daniel Kurtzer.
Kurtzer tells host Steve Clemons that the war in Gaza “uncovered a weakness on the part of the United States in dealing with an extreme government in Israel”.

I'm reading a PhD Thesis about pro-wrestling, and it is coming out of the gate swinging.
It says, the WWF was built on the back of "Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea, a 330 pound, 6’8” blonde strongman
with off-the-charts charisma and limited technical wrestling skill" and, yes that's absolutely true but I've never read it put so directly.

I read a *lot* of academic papers on media and entertainment and most of them are dry and dense.
This one is breezy and conversational. Information dense, for sure, but written by someone who clearly enjoys reading (unlike many of the papers I read.)
"Archiving the demise of

around the world from a practice primarily watched live to a performance seen on
television, pay per view, and the Internet." (Page 25)

Hoooooooo, he's cooking.
This is absolutely my bullshit.
Examining the demise of regional wrestling in Louisiana as a microcosm for the rise of a national monoculture powered by television and eventually the internet?
You know it's going to be good.
So how the hell does that work?

I restrained myself from commenting on the current political climate. You're welcome.
A man used AI music to defraud the streaming business out of $10 million.
The fraud was less about all the fake bands releasing fake songs created in partnership with an unnamed exec at an AI music company, and more about the many, many accounts he made to stream all of his AI tunes on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music in order to get paid.
Impressively, he was ahead of the AI hype. His scheme started in 2017.
