The article looks more like clickbait to promote that novel. It didn't reveal anything particularly significant.

WIRED note: MSG Suing 'Wired' Over Article Alleging Company Kept Data...A week ago, Wired published a report alleging Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. maintains a database of LGBTQIA celebrities. At the time, MSG said they'd be suing Wired over the article. As pr

I was looking around and, from that era, we have: "Intimidated" (the released b-side of "I'm a Slave 4 U" that didn't make it onto the album's tracklist); "Never Be Me" (leaked); "Tell Me Am I a Sinner" (leaked); "When I Say So" (leaked); + several others she performed live, but I don't think those would be included in a possible reissue.

Madison Square Garden's current on-site technology includes cameras that scan for facial recognition, allowing the arena to track every person who enters the building. But according to a recent Wired report, the historic New York City venue is keeping a far more extensive database on celebrities than previously known, with entries noting a supposed risk level, and, in some cases, an individual's sexual orientation and racial identity. Among those listed are Phoebe Bridgers, Freddie Gibbs, and Geese's Emily Green. Wired journalists Noah Shachtman and Maddy Varner combed through Madison Square Garden documents that were published last month by the criminal hacker collective ShinyHunters and first covered by 404 Media. They found 39,539 entries in the Garden's "talent" database, including politicians, athletes, business figures, and more. Of the nearly 40,000 people in the database, 93 have been marked as "LGBTQIA", such as Bridgers, Green, and Ricky Martin. Some celebrities' race and gender identity were also noted, but not everyone's was labeled. Roughly 400 celebrities were also reportedly assigned a "risk" score. According to one source who spoke to Wired, Madison Square Garden's security assigns a score if the person has "done something in the publicity world, the social media world, that has caught the attention of the wrong people." Those deemed a "low risk" include Ice Spice, Selena Gomez, and Benson Boone, while a "medium risk" tag has been assigned to Morgan Wallen, Lily Allen, and Jadakiss. Then there's the "high risk" label, which is used on Gibbs, Lil Jon, DaBaby, and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, among others.

Labels included "LGBTQIA," "DO NOT HOST," and low to high "risk."

Guys, body piercers usually require parents (who are of legal age) to sign a consent form (including information about possible complications) when piercings are performed on minors. I don't know North's case, but I don't believe the body piercer is 100% to blame.

Was thinking about that too. Man... 🥺😭

Is this really true? I don't have IG, so I can't see any replies under hers or Lauren's posts. 🤯

Speaking of Tokyo, we need "Tokyo Takeover" on streaming!

She took "so many trips around the world" to record and explained that she made "maybe 40 to 50 songs" in total; The experience had been "really fun" and she's now in the stage of "finishing a lot of the music that I have already written. It's very forensic science at this point and I'm taking apart every single line and re-writing, putting harmonies [on], changing the harmonies… it's all a balance. But that to me is what makes a song a song."; She also explained that she recorded "lots of music with lots of different producers" while she was "trying to find the right person to work with." She went on to say she had now found that person and her team, but didn't reveal names at this stage; "For the album campaign, I might do a much more natural make-up look so that I can just be myself and give more to the performance." Some of the songwriters and producers she has worked with so far include Lauren Aquilina, Marcus Andersson, Sarah Hudson, Shintaro Yasuda, and Zhone.

I know it might be a good amount, but at the same time, I imagine that no amount of money could make up for the years of silenced trauma (and that still occur in many parts of the world.)

Can't wait for the MSD Manual to include rad-Swifties and rad-Barbz as severe behaviour disorders soon.

I'm really glad to live in another dimension then. Stay on yours and I stay on mine, baby.
