Story of the Week (DR):Meta settles social media addiction case with California, other states for $16.7 billion MM5 Reasons to Be HappyAn $18 billion payout sets a historic legal precedent against Big Tech, directing billions in state funding toward youth mental health, counseling, and digital literacy programs.Instagram and Facebook must enforce default two-hour daily usage limits and completely block account activity between midnight and 6 a.m. for users under 18. Teens and parents gain the explicit right to disable addictive engagement algorithms in favor of a non-personalized, chronological feed.The settlement prohibits harmful beauty filters (such as cosmetic surgery simulators), hides "like" counts by default, and silences app notifications during school hours.Meta tied $5.3 billion of the payout to whether TikTok and YouTube adopt similar safety rules, forcing an industry-wide overhaul rather than penalizing just one app.5 Reasons to Be AngryPaid out over 10 years, the settlement amounts to roughly 10 days of Meta's annual profit, meaning Mark Zuckerberg's financial empire remains virtually unscathed.Meta's $17 billion child-safety settlement is the biggest tech payout ever—or 3x what it paid to acquihire a 28-year-old AI superstarTo put it in perspective, the $17.1 billion number is a little more than three times the roughly $5 billion personal stake that Alexandr Wang held in Scale AI, a data-labeling company that supplies the human-annotated training data AI models are built on. Last year, Meta paid $14.3 billion for a 49% stake in the company and brought in Wang to lead its AI efforts of its new Superintelligence Labs, reporting directly to Mark Zuckerberg.Meta legally denies all wrongdoing, dodging true legal accountability for intentionally engineering addictive, mentally harmful features.The agreement alters user interface features and screen time, but leaves Meta's underlying data-harvesting business model completely untouched.Critical safeguards—like switching off algorithmic feeds—are opt-in settings rather than permanent defaults, shifting enforcement onto parents.Meta only pays 70% ($12.7 billion) upfront; the remaining $5.3 billion is contingent on competitors settling on identical terms, giving Meta a potential financial discount if rivals refuse. Worst headline of the week: Meta's $17.1 billion settlement will be over 12-times larger than the second largest big tech privacy settlement in the past four yearsMeta's $18 billion settlement leaves out the child protections New Mexico already won at trial, its Attorney General says: including a direct ban on romantic and sexualized AI chatbot interactions with minors and stronger safeguards against adults targeting kids in private messagesMM: Settlement gapsAge assurance:Meta may elect to use one or more Proprietary Age Assurance Methods. In such event, Meta shall not benefit from the presumption of compliance set forth in Section II.A.3.a. Additionally, Meta will maintain continuous oversight of any Proprietary Age Assurance Method sufficient to ensure that the method is functioning as intended.Tax deductibleThe Settling States shall cause to be completed and timely filed a Form 1098-F with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that identifies not less than 50% of the amounts paid to the Settling States as compensatory restitution and remediation within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. § 162(f)(2)(A)THEY BUNDLED CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA INTO THE SETTLEMENT$459m of the $17bn is the “Cambridge payout” - they can now put that behind them tooIs there a reason not to literally take Meta all the way? Why settle at all! Midterm elections? TAKE EVERYTHING! Meanwhile, while you settle this: Meta's creepy smart glasses are part of a much bigger plan“At the same time, Meta is using the content generated across its ecosystem to support Mark Zuckerberg's vision of a pervasive, AI-driven future. Zuckerberg's 2026 manifesto describes a world where personal AI agents will do your bidding. But building those systems requires more than conventional AI models. It also requires enormous amounts of data about human behavior, much of it generated and shared through Instagram, Facebook, and other Meta apps, or captured through hardware such as phones, smart glasses, and EMG Neural Band devices.”“We become “algorithm chow,” feeding the models intended to realize Zuckerberg's vision.”'We Know We Got This Wrong': Target Apologises and Pulls 'Offensive' Halloween Costume After Racist BacklashAn apology from us: We pulled an offensive Halloween costume that should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer for sale. As a company, we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.Target Statement on Offensive Halloween Costume: As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer available for sale. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.The statement comes directly from Target's Corporate Communications department speaking on behalf of the entire enterprise, rather than a single individual like the CEO or Board Chair. Corporate apologies are deliberately released without a human signature for several strategic and legal reasons:Legal Personhood: Legally under U.S. law, Target Corporation is treated as a single legal entity (often called "corporate personhood"). It can sign contracts, hold liability, and issue official statements as an institution rather than as individual people.Leaving executive names off the statement prevents media coverage from focusing on a specific person (e.g., "CEO Brian Cornell Apologizes"). It keeps the focus on the company's operational changes and prevents individual leaders from becoming personal lightning rods for public backlash.These statements are rarely drafted by an executive. They are heavily scrubbed by legal counsel, crisis PR managers, and corporate strategy teams. Attaching a CEO's signature to a text engineered by a dozen lawyers and communications staff can actually feel less authentic internally.Phrasing the apology around "we" and "the company" establishes institutional accountability. It signals that the failure occurred in corporate vetting systems, not just from one bad decision-maker.In January 2025, Target Corporation announced the termination of its REACH initiative and restructuring of its Supplier Diversity program, marking one of the largest corporate DEI rollbacks in recent history. This decision has triggered public backlash, legal scrutiny, and investor uncertainty.Callaway Golf CEO apologizes after Good Good ad showing male golfer shoving woman sparks backlashCallaway Golf CEO Chip Brewer on Tuesday apologized for an advertisement that sparked an online backlash for its depiction of a male golfer shoving a female golfer to the ground when she attempts to use his driver."That approval should never have happened. Mistakes were made, and we are taking the matter very seriously," Brewer wrote on Tuesday. "I want to make it clear that we sincerely apologize for the video." Callaway released a statement Thursday explaining its reasoning behind ending the brand partnership: "Over the last several days, we have reflected deeply on the hurt and disappointment caused by the video we reposted. We heard from individuals who shared personal experiences related to violence against women, and their stories were powerful reminders that this issue touches the lives of far too many people. Unequivocally, violence against women is unacceptable and should never be trivialized, normalized, or used as entertainment.""In this instance, our content review process was not comprehensive enough …We have taken appropriate internal corrective actions and significantly strengthened our approval procedures to help ensure this does not happen again."The brand added that it would donate $1 million to organizations that aim to "prevent violence against women, provide resources to survivors, and advance education and awareness efforts."The online video ad, which was released online and has since been pulled, sparked criticism for depicting violence against women, while some consumers said they planned to stop buying products made by Callaway.Brewer said the ad, created by Good Good Golf, was released last week to promote a co-branded driver and had been approved by Callaway before the spot was posted online. The ad featured Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark telling Alexis Miestowski, a former Division I female golfer, in a menacing voice, "Do not touch my new driver," after he shoves her to the ground.Good Good is an American sports YouTube channel and company based in Frisco, Texas. Founded in 2020 by Garrett Clark, Stephen Castaneda, CEO Matt Kendrick, and Matt Scharff.Owner: Scoreboard ventures: co-founders Nahid Giga and Brian DickLead Investor: Creator Sports Capital — a firm co-founded by former YouTube executive Benjamin Grubbs and investment executive Brian Kabot.Good Good's CEO went nuclear on Callaway after the brand cut ties over an ad scandal"Interesting that @CallawayGolf asks us to make an ad then approves it then asks us to take the fall then drops us in a coordinated media blitz and covers it up by giving a million dollars away thinking everyone will be ok with it," Matt Kendrick wrote in a post on X.The ad fallout has had major repercussions for Good Good's business beyond the loss of its Callaway partnership. Dick's Sporting Goods yanked Good Good products from shelves, and the golf group pulled out as a title sponsor for a PGA Tour event in the fall. The reverberation has spread to the Golf Channel, which scrapped the upcoming season of its reality golf series "Big Break," whose grand prize was entry into the PGA Tour event that Good Good was supposed to have sponsored.FFA:14% have merit2 women!

John Coltrane (born Sept 23, 1926) is easily one of a handful of the most important and influential musicians that jazz has produced. His harmonic and rhythmic innovations have influenced every generation of jazz musicians since he first rose to prominence with the bands of Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk. His own groups stretched the boundaries of modern jazz into free, extended improvisations.    Help sponsor St. Michael's Jazz Fest Donate to the Jazz Legends podcast Contact us at stmichaelsjazzfest@gmail.com

Micha ist seit rund neun Monaten Schüler bei der ShredFactory – und vor Kurzem haben wir gemeinsam ein Projekt abgeschlossen, das für ihn etwas ganz Besonderes war: Er hat sein erstes eigenes Gitarrensolo geschrieben und aufgenommen.In dieser Podcast-Folge sprechen wir darüber, wie Micha überhaupt zur Gitarre gekommen ist, wo er vor unserer Zusammenarbeit stand und was sich seitdem für ihn verändert hat.Vor allem schauen wir aber hinter die Kulissen seines ersten eigenen Soloprojekts: ✅ Wie kommt man von einer ersten Idee zu einem fertigen Solo? ✅ Wie entwickelt man Melodien und Phrasen? ✅ Was verwirft man wieder? ✅ Und wie verändert sich das eigene Gitarrenspiel, wenn man plötzlich nicht mehr nur Songs und Soli anderer Gitarristen nachspielt, sondern selbst kreativ werden muss?Besonders cool: Micha ist seit rund 30 Jahren selbstständiger Metallbauer. Deshalb sprechen wir auch darüber, welche überraschenden Parallelen es zwischen Handwerk, Kreativität und Gitarrespielen gibt – und warum seine Werkstatt am Ende zum perfekten Ort für die Aufnahme seines ersten eigenen Solos wurde.

This week, Paul brings Improvisation Month to a close by focusing on the vital "missing link" in improvisation: expression and ear. After exploring control, musical awareness, rhythm, and phrasing in previous weeks, this episode shifts the attention from finger patterns and scale shapes to listening—playing what you hear rather than what you know.Key TopicsRecap of Improvisation MonthWeek 1: Control — use fewer notes, play with intentionWeek 2: Musical Awareness — connect notes to chord changesWeek 3: Rhythm & Phrasing — use space and repetition for conversational playingWeek 4: Expression & Ear — the finishing touch for melodic, personal improvisationEar-Led Improvisation ChallengeSing, hum, or imagine a short musical phrase, then play it on the guitarFocus on melody over scale shapes and finger patternsSimple ideas with good timing and expression often sound better than complex, fast runsDeveloping Expressive PlayingExpression: bends, vibrato, dynamics, timingListen for vocal, melodic qualities in iconic recordingsAvoid improvisation traps (mindlessly running scales)Recommended ListeningDavid Gilmour ("Comfortably Numb")BB King (“The Thrill is Gone”)Mark Knopfler (“Sultans of Swing”)Notice how phrases sound sung, not rushed; identify the sources of expression and feelAdvice for BeginnersIt's normal to find ear-led playing challenging at firstPractice connecting your ear with scale shapes by singing the scale as you playStick with the process—where your head leads, your guitar followsCommunity ChallengeBeginner Guitar Academy members: post your challenge videos or comments in the community sectionNon-members: try singing a phrase and playing it, even if simple—quality over quantityTakeaway"Don't just play what your fingers know.

This week, Paul Andrews continues "Improvisation Month" with a deep dive into the often-overlooked elements of rhythm and phrasing. Moving beyond just scales and theory, this episode uncovers how you play notes, through phrasing, space, repetition, and rhythmic variation, can completely transform your improvisation and make your playing truly sound musical.Key Topics CoveredThe Common Myth: More scales and notes aren't what make solos sound good.The Problem of Overplaying: Filling every space with notes leads to busy, unmusical solos.Thinking Like a Speaker: Music should have phrases, pauses, and emphasis, just like conversation.Rhythmic Contrast & Phrasing: You can play the same notes but create completely different music by altering rhythm and phrasing.The Power of Space: Deliberately leaving gaps in your playing lets ideas breathe and makes music feel intentional.Repetition is Good: Repeating phrases and tweaking them develops themes and makes solos memorable.Musical Homework: Listen for phrasing, repetition, and space in classic solos by David Gilmour (“Comfortably Numb”), BB King (“The Thrill Is Gone”), and Mark Knopfler (“Sultans of Swing”).This Week's Challenge2 Bars On / 2 Bars Off: Improvise for 2 bars, then leave 2 bars of silence. Use the silence to listen, reflect, and plan your musical “response”, just like a conversation.One-Note Creativity: See how many ideas you can create using just one note and varying the rhythm.Active Listening: Choose one of the suggested solos, and listen deeply for phrases, repetition, and space. Notice how each guitarist crafts their lines.Guitarists to StudyDavid Gilmour – “Comfortably Numb”BB King – “The Thrill Is Gone”Mark Knopfler – “Sultans of Swing”TakeawaysGreat improvisation isn't about how many notes you play, but how you play them.Musical phrasing, use of space, and repetition are crucial skills for expressive, memorable solos.Practice improvising with less, focus on shaping your phrases and leaving intentional gaps.Community & ResourcesIf you're a Beginner Guitar Academy member, share your progress or questions in the community section.Not a member yet?

In this episode, I'm joined by John Mailander, a fearless and lyrical fiddler/violinist whose work bridges bluegrass, jazz, ambient improvisation, and songcraft. We trace his path from San Diego to Berklee (where he studied American Roots with mentor Darol Anger) to Nashville, where he found a close-knit community that's as experimental as it is supportive. John discusses the city's “weirdo music” scene, ambient nights, free improvisation, and oddball collaborations, and how that energy coexists alongside the touring calendar. We dig into his life-changing chair with Bruce Hornsby: the no-setlist ethos, learning the “top 80” deep-cut originals, living on the edge together, and the night Bruce rearranged the stage so John could stand next to John Scofield, then kept tossing them intertwined solos all evening. John shares recent runs with Sam Grisman (with hero Peter Rowan onboard), producing and recording more from Nashville, and the origin of his own band Forecast, a genre-porous collective inspired by Bill Frisell, Brian Blade Fellowship, Pat Metheny/Brad Mehldau, and Joni Mitchell. We talk through the new record Let the World In: how residency nights at Dee's in Madison shaped the tunes, why the drums sound so alive, and why he welcomes rotating lineups to hear the same music through new lenses. Teaching and mentorship thread through the conversation: passing on what was given to him (formally and backstage between songs), honoring influences like Matt Mundy (ARU/Bruce Hampton), and why the point isn't “pushing boundaries” as a goal but playing honestly enough that the music pushes itself. It's a generous, grounded conversation about trust, curiosity, and letting the music lead.To learn more about John, visit his website.

Teachhoops.com⁠ ⁠WintheSeason.com⁠ In this episode of the Basketball Coach Unplugged, the hosts discuss the critical role of language and phrasing in coaching. They start with light banter about personal health issues post-season before delving into the main topic. One coach emphasizes how specific phrases can significantly impact team culture and player mindset. He shares some of his favorite coaching phrases like "be great at what you're good at," "no deposit, no return," "we over me," and "failure to plan is a plan for failure." These phrases are not just motivational but also serve to reinforce key values and roles within the team. The conversation touches on the importance of consistency and simplicity in communication. Coaches need to develop a clear and concise vocabulary that everyone in the program understands. The other coach agrees, mentioning how he involves his team in creating their terminology to ensure everyone is on the same page. This collaborative approach helps in building a strong, cohesive team culture. They also discuss how language can be a trigger for players, helping to reinforce habits and expectations. Simple phrases like "listen with your eyes" can effectively capture attention and foster better engagement. Both coaches highlight the importance of being purposeful with language, ensuring that every phrase used has a clear meaning and contributes to the overall goals of the program. Moreover, the hosts reflect on their own experiences, noting how they have simplified their language over the years to improve clarity and effectiveness. They stress that words matter and can have a significant impact on players, both positively and negatively. Therefore, it's crucial for coaches to be mindful of their phrasing and to use language that motivates and guides their players constructively. The episode concludes with a reminder for coaches to be deliberate in their communication, as it shapes the culture and effectiveness of their program. Being consistent with key phrases not only helps in maintaining discipline but also in building a strong, unified team that understands and embraces the coach's vision. ⁠GameChanger Website⁠ ⁠Dr Dish Website⁠ ⁠CoachingYouthHoops.com⁠ ⁠https://forms.gle/kQ8zyxgfqwUA3ChU7⁠ ⁠Coach Collins Coaching Store⁠ Check out.  [Teachhoops.com](⁠https://teachhoops.com/⁠) 14 day Free Trial Youth Basketball Coaches Podcast Apple link: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coaching-youth-hoops/id1619185302⁠ Spotify link: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0g8yYhAfztndxT1FZ4OI3A⁠ ⁠Funnel Down Defense Podcast⁠ ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/funnel-down-defense/id1593734011⁠ Want More ⁠Funnel Down Defense⁠ ⁠https://coachcollins.podia.com/funnel-down-defense⁠ [Facebook Group .

I've been playing concerts with my flutist friend Joan Sparks for more decades than I care to admit. Our work together has included concerts, being Artists in Residence at schools and retirement communities, producing our own concert series, recording multiple CDs (actually even a couple of cassette tape recordings back in the day) and commissioning some significant works for the flute and harp concert repertoire. In fact, one of those works turned into an actual question on the TV show ”Jeopardy.” I'll tell you that story at the end of the podcast. Of course, our collaboration hasn't all been about work. We don't travel as much now for concerts as we used to, but we did a lot of traveling earlier in our career and naturally we are very close friends. In that time, I also learned a lot about the flute.  One of the biggest revelations I had was listening to Joan practice her long tones. Now this won't surprise any of you who have played melody line instruments, but as a harpist with some years of piano lessons in my youth, long tones were practically a new concept. On the harp, we don't hold a note. We simply play it and it goes effortlessly into the ether. No need to practice long tones.  But this also means that we have no control over a note once we've played it. We can't make it crescendo or decrescendo. We can't add vibrato to intensify it. We can't create a true legato, where one note connects seamlessly to the next.  I think this is partly why we harpists tend not to pay enough attention to phrasing. Yet, phrasing is the breath of the piece. It's the living component of the melody. It's what makes the song sing and the piece flow.  So today's podcast is essentially a guide to phrasing for harpists. We'll talk about everything from what a phrase is and how to identify it, to how to practice it so your melodies can sing. If you've been wondering how to get that “flow factor” into your playing, this will be important information for you, so stay tuned.

Ever notice how mean the voice in your head can become on stage? Where it generates YouTube comment section-like levels of criticism and abuse?Or maybe you haven't even gotten on stage yet. But as you're waiting your turn, you overhear the person playing right before you, who sounds amazing? And then the voice suddenly makes you question and doubt everything?Yeah, the voice that lives in our head is not always such a good friend. But what can we do about it? How can we turn that off when it's not helping us?In this month's episode, flutist Carolyn Christie explains how she overcame her own experience with “terrifying” nerves when she was a member of the Montreal Symphony, and shares other insights on practice planning, how to avoid overthinking, and staying in a more positive headspace with “clinical” self-evaluation.Get all the nerdy details and learn how to cultivate these essential mental skills for performance:Carolyn Christie: On Overcoming Nerves With Healthier Internal Dialogue - and Phrasing!* * *Have you ever wondered why it is exactly that things often sound better at home than they do on stage?

As Emily so aptly puts it, we have a game this week that justifies this podcast's entire existence. A wild cast of characters, a raft of missed clues, and a Daily Double mishap create the type of drama that can only be found on the J! stage. It's a great week overall with some fun new champions, a category so nasty our "Nasty Clue of the Week" becomes our Nasty Category of the Week, and Jeopardy! fans fume about one clue so vehemently it makes it all the way to the pages of People magazine. Plus, we dive deep on Berlin's famed Eldorado nightclub.
