I just got access to Google’s new MusicLM and…
Wow.
No exaggeration when I say this will change the music industry.
Tacklers need to lower their body height. If you hit another player with your shoulder or your head, your should be penalised. #NRLRoostersDragons

Airbnb is broken. Hear me out.
The space needs disrupting. Think:
- a building dedicated to hosting
- full service & cleaning
- central city location
- guaranteed amenities
- professionally trained staff
- knowledgeable concierge
- an integrated restaurant
who’s building this?
Adam Zampa did the right thing. Bowlers are watched so closely, and penalised for being even a centimetre over the mark. Too many batters taking an unfair advantage. Bad sportsmanship by the batters.
This is a good thread.
Decent habit discipline is the #1 thing that allows me to capitalise on my luck. I read Atomic Habits from @JamesClear a few weeks ago. Great refresher, led to tweaks: crisper triggers, “get to” reframing, speaking out loud, and more. 🧵

ALT youtube comment by Alejandro Zepeda "dad, why is my sister named rose?” "because your mother loves roses" "thanks, dad" "no problem, Fred again.. | Boiler Room: London"
I don't understand how @Ticketek_AU is still so bad. horizontal scaling. or, stagger the times when tickets can go on sale. multiple events all going live at 10am, and people waiting _forever_ to get through is...not fun.
Surely everyone saw this coming? Large-scale layoffs, saying there are going to be more coming...who wants to deal with that stress? If you've got the ability to get out, why wouldn't you?
I'm hearing from multiple personal sources that key engineers who survived the layoffs are resigning. These key engineers are mostly old timers and probably have a lot of financial freedom to do whatever they desire to do. xitter.cf/CaseyNewton/status/158…
