Musicians Say Streaming Doesn’t Pay. Can the Industry Change?

Services like Spotify and Apple Music pulled the business back from the brink. But artists say they can’t make a living. And their complaints are getting louder.

Okay, I wrote a big post on why all the people suddenly calling for an end to anonymity are wrong. It (1) doesn't work (2) solves for the wrong problem and (3) most importantly, puts many vulnerable people at risk. Also, it's unconstitutional. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20210131/01114246154/no-getting-rid-anonymity-will-not-fix-social-media-it-will-cause-more-problems.shtml

Offline: COVID-19 is not a pandemic (09/2020, thelancet.com)

But what we have learned so far tells us that the story of COVID-19 is not so simple. Two categories of disease are interacting within specific populations—infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and an array of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These conditions are clustering within social groups according to patterns of inequality deeply embedded in our societies. The aggregation of these diseases on a background of social and economic disparity exacerbates the adverse effects of each separate disease. COVID-19 is not a pandemic. It is a syndemic. The syndemic nature of the threat we face means that a more nuanced approach is needed if we are to protect the health of our communities.

Syndemics are characterised by biological and social interactions between conditions and states, interactions that increase a person's susceptibility to harm or worsen their health outcomes. In the case of COVID-19, attacking NCDs will be a prerequisite for successful containment.

The most important consequence of seeing COVID-19 as a syndemic is to underline its social origins. The vulnerability of older citizens; Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities; and key workers who are commonly poorly paid with fewer welfare protections points to a truth so far barely acknowledged—namely, that no matter how effective a treatment or protective a vaccine, the pursuit of a purely biomedical solution to COVID-19 will fail. Unless governments devise policies and programmes to reverse profound disparities, our societies will never be truly COVID-19 secure.

Our societies need hope. The economic crisis that is advancing towards us will not be solved by a drug or a vaccine. Nothing less than national revival is needed. Approaching COVID-19 as a syndemic will invite a larger vision, one encompassing education, employment, housing, food, and environment. Viewing COVID-19 only as a pandemic excludes such a broader but necessary prospectus.

It is time to stop manufacturing dissent and find other, more constructive ways to disagree with one another

Al valorar sólo cómo discutir, nos hemos olvidado de cómo hablar

Cuando tenía unos diez años de edad, los chicos de mi clase decidieron intentar en masa que las chicas les dieran un puñetazo en el estómago para probar que podían resistirlo. Para aquella a quien le proponían dar el puñetazo no había forma de ganar: si entrabas en el juego y no conseguías doblarles eras una blanda; si te negabas, eras una fracasada.

Al valorar sólo cómo discutir, nos hemos olvidado de cómo hablar

En tanto que adultos, en lugar del “¡Pégame!” nos encontramos hoy seguidos por gente que dice: “¡Debate conmigo!” Lo que pasa a continuación sigue la misma lógica del juego infantil: o entras en ello y acabas en un altercado sin sentido que degenera en encono, o bien, te niegas y te acusan de ser frágil.

Los foros en los que nos encontramos para debatir cuestiones – el Brexit, la inmigración o las “políticas de identidad” – están estructuralmente diseñados para exacerbar, más que para explorar o resolver, las diferencias. Se favorece el conflicto por encima de la conversación, la animosidad por encima de la indagación.
