A reminder that Vimeo is no longer trust-worthy and you should really backup anything uploaded to it

Vimeo has reportedly laid off a large portion of its staff following its $1.38B acquisition by Bending Spoons. Users have also noticed the Vimeo website now calling itself as an “AI-powered video platform.”

"rediscover tech optimism" these are charlatans and it is disgusting we've allowed them to influence our political economy to the extent they have

I love David Plouffe and am all for making Rs own the excesses of the Trump era, but our party simply can't become the anti-AI party. We need to stop the victimization stuff, rediscover tech optimism, and be aggressive in spreading its benefits. nytimes.com/2026/01/15/opi…

Probably the most exciting announcement for independent music in Los Angeles in 20 years. Really looking forward to this.

It’s surreal to be at this moment. After years of looking for a space, and working on this one…we are proud to announce @stcauditorium opening this fall in South Pasadena, CA!

As Counsel to @MFFAlliance, I give full-throated support to the defense of the integrity of music streaming, and fandom. @mlewan3's recent Billboard column rightly identifies artificial streaming as the most immediate threat to the music industry. billboard.com/pro/artificial…

We are disappointed alongside @MAC to see AB1349 made a 2yr. bill by Asm. Appropriations Chair @BuffyWicks. This bill has been discussed in 3 policy committees-the consumer protections contained are needed by the live music ecosystem now! Thank you @isaacbryann for the leadership

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.
