    Excited to unveil The Living Wage for Musicians Act, a proposed law headed to Congress that I've been working on with @UMAW_! It would greatly increase artist streaming pay, and it's sponsored by 2 of my political heroes @JamaalBowmanNY & @RashidaTlaib! weareumaw.org/news/make-stre…
    HUGE NEWS. I've been working with @UMAW_ to develop a new music streaming law sponsored by @JamaalBowmanNY & @RashidaTlaib! The Living Wage for Musicians Act would put aside a % of the $ collected by music streaming services and pay it as an additional royalty direct to artists!

    My pet theory is that Larry David wrote Seinfeld with the subtext that Jerry is an awful comedian, and the funniest part is that real life Jerry acted in the role, used his real standup bits, and never caught on to the joke.

    Replying to @HendoSlice
    Evidence: Characters continually tell Jerry that his act stinks The stand up intro/outros are awful. Half the time they are non-jokes It's funnier if he's a bad comic. George is a dope employee. Kramer is a nut. Elaine is foiled at work. Why would Jerry be a genuine success?

    Just got confirmation that my mom and dad both have Corona. Add 2 to the NJ number. So far both of them are sealed up at home with flu symptoms, but no serious breathing issues atm. My mom is 60+ cancer survivor and my dad is 60+ with asthma. So I am a little worried.

    If another country blew up CNN, NBC or Fox News, no one in the world would consider that a legitimate military target. It would be considered terrorism. The same applies here.
    Oh my god. The building where al Jazeera’s office is housed has just been taken down by Israeli airstrikes. There was a warning and evacuated. It houses offices and private homes. I can’t believe it.

    I understand looking for an alternative to Spotify, but none of the music streaming corporations will do whats best for musicians. Thats why I have been proposing public music libaries. Everyone can have access to music streaming, and artists can be paid fairly with tax dollars.

    Pro tip, you can just paypal or venmo bands money anytime you want and its like your own Bandcamp day except its even better for the artist. Let's be honest do you even want that tee shirt or mp3 file? If you just you want to support a musician, there's no better way than a tip.

    Today I learned people in Chicago cut their pizza like this and now I'm never ever going there. Sorry you're all sick and I don't want to catch it.

    When I interned for MTV I was unpaid, and I had to pay for my own flight/hotel in LA to work the VMAs. I later was part of a class action lawsuit against them for doing that shit and won $350. After that I started @GetAlternative and never worked in corporate music media again.

    "NYT Best Seller" used to mean something, for instance that the book had been edited.

    Joe Biden wrote the law that made it so that if you die your parents still have to pay your student loans. Bernie wants to forgive every single student loan in the country and make college free.
