The platform: more clicks, less schtick!

  • Researchers attempt to encourage breeding in captive sharks by playing them music. Justin Timberlake turns them on; Britney Spears, not so much. (Towleroad)

  • Courtney Love says crazy stuff on her MySpace page! I know, can you believe it? This time it’s about, er, cupcakes. (Defamer)

  • Idolator offers the first installment of its Top 100 Greatest R&B Songs Ever, complete with videos. Hey look: “Oh Sheila!” (Idolator)

  • I know I just posted a link to an Alan McGee rant, but he’s just so adorably ornery! This week: bands that were over-hyped. (UK Guardian Music Blog)

    BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

    “Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

    No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
