Approximately 92% of the internet-connected global population (4.16bn) are not active users of Twitter (336m). Approximately 96% of the actual global population (7.6bn) are not active users of Twitter. It's fun, but remember: it's very far from the real world.

Quintessential Kenny Mac. He’s long been a trusted mentor as we’ve built Sorted Noise and this interview captures him perfectly. Some gems in here.

Maybe I’ve missed it, but is there a curious journalist out there that’s figured out what actually went on behind the scenes with Olivia Rodrigo “giving” songwriting credit to Taylor Swift, Hayley Williams, & Josh Farro? There’s a story there (she didn’t just “give” them credit)

Congrats to スタートアップ Broadcast Music Inc. for WINNING its lawsuit against DOJ. 100% licensing scheme dead. Major victory for songwriters and music publishers.
