The one genuinely new thing at Tomorrowland this year
Read more . . . →Here’s the actual news out of this year’s lineup, buried under the headliner circus: on opening Friday, Tomorrowland is running its first full afro house day at the Melodia stage. Not one token DJ shoved into an afternoon slot, a whole bill of South African producers who’ve spent years turning drum patterns into something closer to church. If you only know this festival as big-room fireworks, this is the corner worth walking to. 1. Caiiro - The Akan Caiiro builds tracks like they’re supposed to run twenty minutes, and you resent it when they don’t. The Akan is all rolling...

Citi Paid Fraser $42 Million to Cut 20,000 Jobs
Read more . . . →Jane Fraser is running Citigroup through the biggest layoff in its modern history — 20,000 jobs on the chopping block, 7,000 already gone — and the board handed her a 22% raise for it. Forty-two million dollars for 2025. The reorganization that emptied those desks is the same reorganization her pay package rewards. She didn’t get paid despite the cuts. She got paid for them. Here’s the part nobody says out loud: at the top, mass firing is a resume line. Every worker she cut was a number that made a slide look better, and the slide is what the...

Tomorrowland turns 20 and the hype is insufferable and mostly earned
Read more . . . →Four days out and my feeds are 90% people you’ll never see again posting the same drone shot of the mainstage. Tomorrowland hits its 20th edition this year, they’ve branded it Consciencia, and yes, most of it is a very expensive Instagram backdrop with a castle stuck on top. But the thing didn’t get this big on nothing. Five tracks that will actually go off in Boom and won’t make you feel stupid for humming them on the flight home. 1. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike vs Ummet Ozcan - The Hum The Belgian duo are basically Tomorrowland’s house band,...

BILL Had a Good Quarter, So It Fired a Third of You
Read more . . . →BILL Holdings had a good quarter. Revenue up 13 percent, earnings beat, the kind of numbers a company puts in a press release with an exclamation point. So on May 7 the board did the obvious thing with all that success: it moved to fire up to a third of the company — roughly 700 people out of about 2,333 — and on the exact same day authorized a billion dollars to buy back its own stock. Not a slow quarter. Not a demand cliff. A beat. The money was never missing. There was a billion dollars sitting right there,...
