@davidmarsden it’s rather good.
> “As I write, the video of Talarico’s interview has been viewed over 6 million times—more than twice the size of the Late Show’s nightly broadcast audience, and four times more than watched any part of his interview last year with Taylor Swift. So if Carr’s goal was to silence Talarico or chasten Colbert, it was an abject failure. According to Talarico, his campaign took in $2.5 million in contributions in the 24 hours after his interview was posted, and Colbert’s interview is still racking up viewers on his YouTube page, where criticism of the Trump administration seems to outperform other content by a factor of 10”
… over on Slate.
@davidmarsden C-O-O-L - is that you? Recent recording?
… but Jim was a Hanwell man - no? (yes - Borough of Ealing - but then Southall is also Ealing on that basis❓)
@lukemperez sorry Luke. 😢
… nd of course - 🔗📼 the interview has ended up with a far wider reach than just being on CBS.
At time of typing - 6.5 million views in 1 day.
Not only that - but if you look at Colbert’s usual YouTube numbers - he’s typically around 1.5 even for his monologues - though I did see one where he is up to 3 million.
Great job by the The Tяump Аппаратчик@MitchWagner I try 😉
@moonmehta curious why micro.blog is not listed?
also substack you do callout … but as an after thought .. it can be used as a blog .. just simply publish and don’t share to email … you can even have a space inside a space for different topics.
Not wrong … confusing affect and effect affects credibility. The effect is immediate: readers sense something’s off and your rigor gets questioned. Doubt spreads. One small confusion cascades into a measurable effect on how seriously your work affects not just your credibility, but even ‘authority’.
Of course the effect of those words might also have you believe that I am ‘affected’.
@dave BTW - just added my MB mentions to Feedland - and see exactly the problem with the Feedname - if you added 5 of them (why aside) .. pretty quickly you will lose the context of the ‘WHO’ - hopefully @manton can make the change - of course what would be really cool is that in Feedland I could get to change name - already can do that in Reeder and NetNewsWire?
Mental age models that turn my head … part two
Jagger .. 82
McCartney .. 83
so Paul Anka?
as of typing this .. 84
@AndySylvester sorry yes .. I wasn’t disagreeing .. on board with you both .. it just kicked the synapses down a side road.
@amerpie @amerpie I don’t have a single method … but primarily through recommendations of people I know and/or trust their musical taste and likewise artists … for example without Bowie talking … somewhere .. audio .. not print … about Secret Machines they would have remained unknown to me … much less in the ‘got em all’ category … and then sometimes pure serendipity like just this morning on Reddit a contributor comparing Barclay James Harvest to a more modern artist …
BJH? Not the greatest band but definitely high quality .. they did after all give us The Enid … who I happened to be listening to just last night.
The other artist he referenced in his post was someone called Raphael Weinroth-Browne … who I had never heard of before.. but checked him out because referencing BJH .. not exactly unknown … but even in my world massively under referenced .. gave a credibility that warranted a little looksee … and the album he called out is now in my queue to listen to properly … not only that but I looked him up and discovered this performance on YouTube … which I heard when it was first released … because, well 🖇️🎵 Steven Wilson … and this cover of
🔗🎵📼Hand. Cannot. Erase. is just as wonderful as when I first heard it 6 years ago.
Sometimes, it takes time.
