Will These New AI Tools Make Songwriters Irrelevant In 2025? YouTube video by Rick Beato

Um. . . There’s a lot to criticize about the AI bandwagon.
But songwriters haven't been relevant in decades.
Market-driven art, after all, is slick but soulless. AI just holds a mirror to that.

I feel like it's worth restating some basics. What matters most as we navigate this moment? How about truth, nuance, humility, compassion, resilience, and care (for starters)? Who in politics reflects these?

Anyone else getting the feeling that foundations are cracking? This is not at all a normal political cycle and Canada's upcoming elections are about much more than wanting a 'team' to win. This, if ever, is the time to be strategic. . . My fingers are crossed.

Why immigration lawyers warn you might want to bring a burner phone if you're going to the U.S. | CBC News Amid stories of travellers facing hurdles or even being detained at the U.S. border, some immigration lawyers say Canadians should expect extra questioning, have plenty of documents on hand and even c...

Travel warning to anyone 'trying to' visit the United States: this is some 1970s Nicaragua-style stuff. Looks like the US of A is officially on the way to banana republic. . .

I think many people risk misreading this political moment. It’s not about parties or name-calling. It’s actually about education—about complexity vs. simplicity, awareness vs. fear. And reactionary fear only leads to one place, and it's pretty dark. Just saying.

Cybertruck: because nothing says "cutting edge" like a shoddy $100K stainless steel brick that can actually cut your finger off. I don’t like seeing anyone get scammed. But I’ll admit, it’s satisfying to see the truth about this junk finally break through the hype fog.

Those endorsements should tell you all you need to know. I really hope that Canadians are not as easy to hoodwink as those on the American right.

I do not belong to any political party. In past, I have voted for different parties, depending on key issues. I also know that talk is cheap - but this talk at least is very good.

Poilievre says he's a 'tough guy to deal with' and can take on Trump and his taunts | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday he's a "tough guy" well suited to take on U.S. President Donald Trump and that's why the American leader said he thinks it's easier to "deal with a ...

This guy is such an idiot. Like clockwork, the orange liar sets him up and he takes the cue immediately, hoping that nobody will notice (are they coordinating?). Who calls themselves a 'tough guy' anyway?

He is lying, as usual, trying to tarnish the liberals and boost the conservatives. There is no way he actually prefers Carney to Poilievre . . .

Some great points here about why modern movies don't look as good as older ones. Biggest reason: lack of commitment (and photographic skill to support it)!!

The honeymoon is over for Trump, whose every unwitting misstep brings chaos and strife | Simon Tisdall After just a few weeks in the White House, the self-appointed peace-giver has stoked war, accelerated the nuclear arms race and alienated US allies

Sure, some folks will always be a bit brighter than others, no problem. But I don't think I've ever seen such catastrophic stupidity blend so seamlessly with stratospheric arrogance. . . Not a great combo. #canadastrong
