During the pandemic, classical musicians and orchestras are reliant on streaming their performances to maintain their profile and solicit donations. That's a problem, because the platforms' copyright bots HATE classical music. washingtonpost.com/entertain… 1/

I'm having trouble concentrating on science animations right now, so instead here are some screenshots from my favourite document on the planet. These are taken from a 'work in progress' document from Pepsi's 2008 rebrand. Every figure is as incomprehensible as this one. 1/23
