From the link you posted (CNN, really?) The evidence, such as it is, remains rather thin. It is a sworn statement by Yu, who is suing ByteDance in a wrongful termination case in California state court. The declaration does not provide documentation, internal messages or other primary source materials to substantiate the claim. I don't see any reason why the terminated employee would fabricate a story, do you? Would their story hold up in court with literally no evidence other than their word?

this record just passed me by in a wall of white noise. some people like it (way to go Segue, lol) but i can't get into it......since i loved gigaton this just disappointed me. But that's my PJ story in general. like one.....hate one.....and on and on it goes, lol Mick

Good, lol. Enjoy the record I can’t.

I literally have no idea what you're talking about.

Pearl Jam - Dark Matter Yeah I’m sorry this just doesn’t do much for me. I like the opener pretty well, and like there’s nothing here I’d turn off if it came on the radio (not that I can hear like… *any* of this getting much airtime… where are the hooks?). The songwriting just doesn’t pull me in, and the production is so wrong for this kind of band. You know what a great PJ record *sounds* like? It sound like Vs. Or like Vitalogy. Those records had character without having to try too hard either. I get if they want to chase a new sound, but I ain’t hearing any really new musical ideas to back up that decision either. Everything sounds too compressed, nothing breathes, and nothing surprises me. Again. I don’t hate it, but there’s shockingly little here that I really care about at all.

You know I’m a sucker for good backing vox. Man she’s incredible. She and Olivia should work together honestly. Idk what it would sound like but it just couldn’t be average.

her backing vocals with herself too. a few of those made me back up the song to hear them again. i think she gets flack because of her image from that first album. but really that's not her (at least fully) she's hilarious in interviews too. like she seems really chill. i can't wait till next month. This seconed album was special as fukk. Mick

YES!! I have no idea where the negativity towards her originates. This is pop music at its best. Forward thinking, relatable, sing able, impressive, and backed with some actual quite classic ideals (Billie Bossa anyone?) Plus the girl can SING. She might be the best vocalist in the top 40 right now.

Billie Eilish-Happier Than Ever (9/10) I REALLY REEEALLY like this girl now. i short changed her a lot. There's a handful of people trying to bring pop outta the mud. Olivia, Taylor, Sabrina Carpenter. WILLOW. i'd even put the Weeknd there as well. and yes......Billie Eilish has to be named. ESPECIALLY after this sophmore album. i mean. Take your pick of tracks on here. i was gonna list favs but it's literally highlight upon highlight for me. Her lyrics are super relatable even with me at 39, lol. she's mixing genres pretty smoothly. and got tyo say more nuanced singer then she appears. She has a new album next month so i'm excited. I like the debut.....but I LOVE Happier Than Ever. Mick

Not just any pop acts either. He’s a tried and true hit maker. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Watt_(record_producer) Apparently he also plays guitar in Eddie’s solo backing band, so that’s probably got something to do with his presence here.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/08/tech/tiktok-data-china/index.html China is an authoritarian government. Useful idiots may tell you that a Chinese company is not necessarily beholden to the CCP. You're smart. Is that consistent with how you've seen those type of governments act? Tik Tok can continue on in the U.S. as long as it likes. It just can't be run by a company that is a front for the CCP.

trust fund geezer

too much reliance on certain people half a decade and i'm out

getting tired of the run around

They say we all dream but we don't all remember or even know we're dreaming. It depends on how heavy of a sleeper you are.

Fragile -- Yes
