oh FUCK jessie ware lyrics videos are already UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay my quick reviews of pre-release singles: pearls > free yourself > begin again but they’re all FLAWLESS tracks

OKAY THOUGHTS OF THE ALBUM IN ORDER:

that! feels good!: the FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNK. HER SULTRY VOICE???????????????????? YES IF YOU’RE GONAN DO IT WELL, DO IT WELL! hONESTLY this track really highlights my gripe with a lot of current pop/dance music. samples and interpolation or just heavily relying on a nostalgic sound can be fucking INCREDIBLE if you put your pussy into it. like reviving old sounds nad songs is GREAT!! but you hav eto OWN IT AND JESSIE IS OWNING HTIS SHE IS DOING IT WELL. OH THE HORNS ARE HERE?????????? YESSSSSSSSSS MS WARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay free youself and pearls are here, i’ve alreayd gushed about them on this blog

hello love: time has turned its back on us is a line that huuuurts. i’m not big into slower songs but this has juuust enough momentum to keep me engaged and it’s got me got me got me invested and ready to wail along. oooh the horn throughline, is this gonna be a mainstay across the labum? into it. god i nEED to see this live. GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!!

also pause to say jessie mentioned wanting to collab with beyonce and just listneing to this much of the labum... they need to do a joint PROJECT. not jus ta song... a fucking album

beautiful people: ooh LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ARE EVERYWHERE!!! this album is leaning heavyyyy into its disco-inspiration and i’m here for it. the slick production of 2023 could end up feeling kinda sterile but instead its slick like sweat on the dance floor. this song has ths sort of urgency of like being drunk at the club and wanting to tak ea break but you literally just can’t stay off the dance floor like you gotta get back UP!

freak me now:

freak me now is gonna be a mainstay of my work out playlist like... so simple and yet so FUCKING EFFECTIVE. PUT THAT ASS ON THE FLOOR. god the way she sings don’t cool me doWN is fuckin me uppppppppp

shake the bottle: camp (complementary) intro. i think tracks off what’s your pleasure did this type of song a bit better than this track did but i’m NOT mad at this track. the oooh ah! bits are addictive, i love a lil ad lib thing. i think this album needs to... shake up the sound a bit more, beacus ei think it get sa bit loss in the repetition, but like if THIS is the weakest rtrack on the album, this rEMAINS a top tier album

lightning: WHY IS THERE NO LYRICS VIDEO??? I WILL RETURN WHEN ITS AVAILABLE TO SHARE MY HTOUGHTS

these lips: MOANED AGAIN. this song is pussy licking good. the singing is so pretty and then the lyrics are just like HELLOOOOO WE FUCKIN

anyways my final thoughts:

this is SUCH a conceptually cohesive album, sometimes to its detriment (I know it’s going to take a while for me to tell some of the songs apart). i think what’s your pleasure set the bar SOOO high with how it was both cohesive AND extremely varied, with extremely high highs and no lows. buuuuuuuuut... god? this albums only weak spot is just... not being as good as the previous album

i hope it sparks a true blue disco revival. i hope jessie puts out some incredible remixes.

this album is teh song of the summer

Nov 19, 2009 (Reuters) (Reuters) Roblox, a children's gaming platform, is expected to announce an U.S. stock exchange listing before the end the year.

Here are some facts about the company

What is it?

Roblox is a popular site for children , with an estimated 164,000,000 active monthly users, according to the industry blog RTrack.

Roblox is used by three-quarters (or more) of American children aged 9-12 years. This was confirmed by an advisor to the company on Nov. 5.

The platform, which is largely comprised of content created by users, offers software downloads to make games and play them online.

It does not require an age minimum to sign up for its services, unlike many other social media and gaming platforms.

Roblox is geared towards younger children and, just like Minecraft, Fortnite and Apex Legends, has seen a significant increase in the number of children playing at home during the coronavirus pandemic.

Roblox claims that users have spent nearly 37 billion hours on the platform since the beginning of 2008.

The company announced in July that its 345,000-strong developer community is on track to earn $250 million in 2020 - up from $110 million in 2019.

"Adopt Me!" one of the most played games on the platform, surpassed 10 billion visits during the first half of 2020. Meanwhile, another game that is popular, Piggy, hit almost 5 billion visits.

Users need to download the Roblox app on their computers or mobile devices to play with the Lego-like characters, they can also join chats and groups to play with other players.

Game developers are required to download the Roblox Studio extension to create games for the platform.

Creators can earn money from their games by charging players to play, and also by making in-game purchases.

IPO PLANS

Sources inform Reuters that Roblox is looking into a traditional IPO or direct stock market listing for its listing.

In the course of this year's fiscal year, Roblox raised $150 million from venture capital investors including Andreessen Horowitz. The valuation of the company at $4 billion.

HOW IS IT REGULATED

Roblox like many other online platforms is not subject to U.S. regulation. The company's fraud against users and the misuse of data about users below 13 are two exceptions.

When her middle school closed in March, Garvey Mortley stopped going to lacrosse practice and playing drums in the school band. With so much time at home, she leaned into another interest: Roblox, an online gaming site and app with Lego-like characters and millions of virtual worlds to explore.

Sprawled on the floor of her living room in Bethesda, Md., Garvey began logging more hours in the online universe, building virtual houses, adopting digital pets and racing other players in obstacle courses. She said she now plays Roblox on her laptop for up to five hours a day while chatting with friends on her phone, up from an hour or two before the pandemic.

“It’s like my main passion,” said Garvey, 12. “It’s pretty diverse, and you can meet people around the world.”

The coronavirus has created some pandemic winners as people shop in droves on Amazon, buy Peloton bikes to exercise at home and head to drive-in movies. For children, there are pandemic victors, too — and chief among them is 14-year-old Roblox, which was already popular but has become wildly so since people have been urged to stay at home.

Since February, the number of active players on Roblox has jumped about 35 percent to reach 164 million in July, according to RTrack, a site that tracks Roblox data. About three quarters of American children ages 9 to 12 are now on the platform, according to Roblox. And players spent 3 billion hours on the site and app in July, twice as much as they did in February, the company said.

Inside Roblox, which is free to play, gamers create an avatar. They can play the site’s millions of games, bringing their character into environments ranging from tropical islands to haunted castles and bustling towns. Their avatars can engage in first-person combat, decipher puzzles or participate in egg hunts while chatting and interacting with other players. Gamers pay real money — often $5 or $10 at a time — to become premium members and to purchase an in-game currency called Robux, which lets them buy clothing, weapons and even hot air balloons for their characters.

“At a time like this, where people are housebound, being able to escape into the digital world and have these kinds of fun, imaginative experiences with a friend, is very, very relevant,” said Craig Donato, Roblox’s chief business officer.

For players, Roblox has an element of never-ending discovery because independent developers create more than 20 million new games a year for the platform. And for those developers — who are mostly teenagers, college students and young adults operating solo or with a small team — the recent spike in Roblox’s popularity means boom times for them, too, since they get a cut of the money that users are spending on their games.

One beneficiary is Anne Shoemaker, 20, who said she moved from Palm Coast, Fla., to Silicon Valley two years ago with $100 in her pocket to live near other developers as she coded games for Roblox. For a while, she said, she didn’t earn enough from the platform to justify turning it into a full-time job.

But after the pandemic hit, Ms. Shoemaker saw a surge of interest in her two Roblox games, Mermaid Life, a fashion-focused role-playing game, and My Droplets, a pet simulation game. Players have paid for extra content in those games, and for the hats she made for users’ avatars that she sells across the site.

Ms. Shoemaker said she has now made about $500,000 through Roblox, most of that since March. Before the pandemic, she could afford to pay just one or two people to help her. Now her game studio, Fullflower Studio, employs 14 contractors and she is plotting new games.

“It feels incredible,” Ms. Shoemaker said. “People used to tell my mom, ‘Stop letting her play this video game; it’s not going to get her anywhere.’ And it’s getting me somewhere.”

Roblox said it has more than 2 million developers, 345,000 of whom make money and who split their profits 50-50 with the company. Dozens of the top developers make millions of dollars, the company said, and top games in the past have generated an average of $2 million to $3 million a year.

Revenue from Roblox’s mobile app, which most players use, totaled $493 million in the first half of the year, up from $228 million in the same period a year ago, according to SensorTower, an analytics firm. Roblox declined to disclose its financials, except to say it was cash-flow positive.

Roblox, which is based in San Mateo, Calif., was founded in 2006 by Erik Cassel and David Baszucki, who were engineers and entrepreneurs. Mr. Baszucki is the chief executive; Mr. Cassel died of cancer in 2013. The start-up has raised $335 million from investors including Meritech Capital Partners and the Chinese internet giant Tencent. In February, when it raised fresh financing from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, it was valued at $4 billion.

In Roblox’s early years, its growth was slow. But activity began picking up in 2015 and 2016 as technological tweaks made it easier to play on phones and Microsoft’s Xbox. Roblox has now become at least as popular as Minecraft, one of its main competitors, said Craig Sherman, a venture capitalist at Meritech.

Even with its recent surge in activity, Mr. Sherman said, Roblox is “on the cusp” of more growth. He said the platform has become a foundation for people to start businesses on, similar to YouTube.

“Roblox is becoming this generation’s version of going to the mall or downtown with your friends, and Covid probably helps accelerate that,” he said.

Some children who grew up on Roblox have never left. Alex Balfanz, 21, started coding games on Roblox when he was 9. In 2017, as a high school senior in Orlando, Fla., he released a Roblox game called Jailbreak, in which people’s avatars are prisoners attempting to escape from jail or police officers trying to keep them imprisoned.

Mr. Balfanz said he watched in astonishment as Jailbreak tallied more than 70,000 players at once on its first day. The game has now been played more than 4 billion times and makes several million dollars a year, which Mr. Balfanz said he splits with his business partner.

Back to School

Updated Aug. 14, 2020

The latest highlights as the first students return to U.S. schools.

In the pandemic, Jailbreak has reached even greater heights. Mr. Balfanz said that on the best days, the game has 80,000 to 90,000 people playing at once, compared with 40,000 to 60,000 before.

“It was a pleasant surprise, something I hadn’t really thought of happening in the midst of all the unfortunate circumstances brought by the pandemic,” he said.

With his earnings, Mr. Balfanz, now a senior at Duke University, said he has taken some vacations,paid his college tuition (Duke’s tuition is nearly $60,000 a year) and bought a Tesla. He has attained celebrity status on Roblox, and said he is swarmed by star-struck players whenever he logs on.

“It’s like my main passion,” Garvey said of Roblox. “It’s pretty diverse, and you can meet people around the world.”Credit…Andrew Mangum for The New York Times

But the dangers of the offline world have sometimes seeped into Roblox, including reports of extremist groups attempting to recruit children and the appearance of sexually explicit content in games.

Mr. Donato said that safety was Roblox’s top priority. The company reviews game content, has extensive parental controls and filters profanity and personally identifiable information out of chats, he said.

“We see all sorts of major real-life events, from Covid-19 to racial discrimination somehow impacting our platform,” he said.

Back in Bethesda, Garvey recently used Roblox to educate others on racism. When players participated in virtual Black Lives Matter protests in the game this summer, she noticed some were darkening their avatar’s skin color, ostensibly a statement of solidarity with Black people. But to Garvey, who is Black, it seemed more like “virtual blackface.”

Garvey urged Roblox players to dress their avatars in Black Lives Matter T-shirts instead of changing their skin color.Credit…Andrew Mangum for The New York Times

So Garvey made a YouTube video explaining the history of blackface in the United States and urged Roblox users to dress their avatars in Black Lives Matter T-shirts instead of changing their skin color.

“I took an educational route,” Garvey said. “I was trying to just seem a little helpful, not just angry at everyone.”

Garvey’s mother, Amber Coleman-Mortley, said she was proud of how Garvey reacted. She said she views Roblox as an ideal place for education, especially with in-person learning and socializing curtailed.

“Play is the way that the human mind learns best,” she said.
