-
Karma (@Pac_Triton) reported@Paapi_Billota just admit that the last 6 movies in that universe were utter **** from Shazam to the Flash. they were so bad, they had to shut down the universe, and your boy was still grieving over his daughter killing herself.
-
Quadpen (@Quadpen) reported@rdhoodsgf as a homeless ten year old billy batson was deemed worthy by the wizard shazam to wield his power (wisdom of solomon, strength of hercules, stamina of atlas, power of zeus, courage of achilles, speed of mercury) by saying the wizards name he would call down a bolt of lightning-

Recovery Simp (@recovery_simp) reportedThis COSOMA debate made me realize something… A thread 1/ While everyone is arguing about royalty payouts, I’m seeing something different. I’m seeing a system problem. And software problems are meant to be solved. 2/ If artists don’t fully trust how royalties are calculated… If the public doesn’t understand the monitoring system… If people keep asking where the numbers come from… That’s a transparency problem. Transparency is exactly what technology can improve. 3/ Imagine a platform that monitors radio and TV broadcasts in real time. Not guesses. Not spreadsheets passed around. Actual digital monitoring with an auditable trail. 4/ Imagine every song played being automatically detected using audio fingerprinting—similar to how Shazam recognizes music. Every play gets recorded. Every record has a timestamp. Every calculation can be traced. 5/ Now imagine every artist having their own dashboard. “My song played 287 times this month.” “These are the stations.” “These are the broadcasts.” “This is exactly how my royalty was calculated.” No mystery. Just data. 6/ The platform could also allow broadcasters to upload playlists digitally instead of relying only on manual submissions. Everything becomes faster. Everything becomes easier to audit. Everything becomes more transparent. 7/ And why stop there? Churches… Event organizers… Festivals… DJs… Could also submit licensed digital setlists. The more legitimate usage we capture, the fairer the royalty system becomes. 8/ This isn’t just a COSOMA solution. It’s a solution for every collective management organization across Africa that struggles with monitoring, reporting and royalty distribution. That’s a regional software market. 9/ This is the type of software Malawi can build. We don’t always have to import technology. Sometimes we should build the infrastructure ourselves. 10/ That’s why I’m putting this idea out there. I’m looking for partners who believe Malawi can build world-class technology. Investors. Government. COSOMA. Broadcasters. Let’s build it together. 11/ Imagine Malawi becoming the country that develops one of Africa’s most transparent copyright royalty systems. Not because we complained. Because we built the solution. 12/ Sometimes the biggest opportunities don’t come from asking, Why is the system like this? They come from asking, What if I built something better?

Six (@SixSh00tHer) reported@absolute_verse I swear that’s the only reason they named it that so people thought it would be like the comic, my only issue with a KO fighting game is 32 is a giant roster for a fighting game and there’s only like Shazam and Mxy you could do as DLC from the comic

Blair (@blaira99) reportedJust heard a song that was so terrible that I had to Shazam it bc I thought I was hallucinating it
-
Why You Yelling (@Whyyouyelling1) reported@WongUpdates That was cool as ****. I'll never forgive the internet for gaslighting us into thinking Black Adam was a terrible movie cause the Rock didn't want to interact with those mid *** Shazam movies
-
The Problematic Kevhulk73 🇺🇸🐉💀 (@kevhulk73) reported@tuvya68 @Hollywood_Solo That was even the problem with the modern Shazam movies ..that fans complained because Shazam acted exactly like Billy.

𒀭 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒆 𝑰𝒏 ✫彡 (@cosmicfellstar) reportedDabs her up, gives them a cute little hand shake. “I hope we get to work together soon. I haven’t been on any missions at all, so I’m so hyped up to get stuff down. Miss Shazam.”
-
***** Archer 🏹 (@DirtyArcher) reported@NicholasCraven_ Man i heard a sample like a year ago and tried to Shazam it but my service was *** and til this day I'm still trying to figure out the song lol.
-
Wolf Totem 🐺 (@CanisLupus003) reportedIt's labelled simply as Adagio so I tried Shazam but drew a blank. So I did the good old searching and going down rabbit holes. It is the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Piano concerto No 5.
-
Kieran (@hangable) reported@xstinamendez Am I going crazy or is that Mall Grab tune pitched down or something? I thought it was a remix but Shazam picked it up as the original.
-
King Emmanuel (@Obanuell) reported@bekeestitches Shazam was never the problem. The real issue was everyone underestimating what he could become and how much power he actually carried. They judged the kid instead of understanding the hero.
-
Fluffy ☕ (@Fluffy_tampons) reported@garaa_arc None of that happened 😭 nobody liked the movie, it was a really bad movie! Like genuinely one of the worse superhero movies I've seen, and the issue was he thought he was too good to face off Shazam so he tried to face off superman...which made no sense and went nowhere

Kidd⟢⋆˙⭒ Jay’s keychain (@janaimare) reportedI can’t Shazam every damn songs @MoonShadowGMMTV calm down okay ?
-
JFresh (@JFreshHockey) reportedAnti-Flag - “Broken Bones” it's whatever Arkells - “Whistleblower” don't like this band at all but this has some energy to it it's decent Band of Skulls - “The Devil Takes Care of His Own” i blame the black keys for all the mid blues rock they kept putting in these games Bassnectar - “Pennywise Tribute” 7/10 i don't even know much you could even call this a remix but the original is cool Battleme - “Shoot the Noise, Man” even the electric stuff has to be bluesy apparently Classified - “Run with Me” this is so so bad i can't even pretend to like it for halifax reasons Foxy Shazam - “I Like It” the uncensored chorus is insane. song's so ******* annoying Gaslight Anthem - “45” good song on imo a great album The Heavy - “What Makes a Good Man” pretty cool stuff The Hives - “I Want More” good band but really annoying Monster Truck - “Seven Seas Blues” it's fine but enough of the big burly beard blues rock My Darkest Days - “Save Yourself” at least it's catchy but i hate the hot topic pop metal The Offspring - “Days Go By” maybe the most shameless rip off song i've ever heard, just cover foo fighters instead Shinedown - “Bully” garbage Thousand Foot Krutch - “Light Up the Sky” no

kaden | DOUBLE PEWPEW ☹️🔫 (@chambersofruin) reported@useremm1tyy omg no i do the same fr, like a lot of the time it's when i shazam music i take a screenshot but then i forget those screenshots r in my gallery TT, writing down in notes is smart tho
-
Oliver Fit (@aipusher) reported@tomaldertweets Everyone talks about being early on a platform. Shazam was early on the problem.
-
will you marry me cinderelly (@agapanthuslily) reportedold navy’s indie selection has genuinely been integral to my musical identity for most of my life like there was nothing like trying to write down lyrics in the fitting room so i could search them up later because i didn’t have shazam
-
Boluwatife (@abubakirhammedb) reported@bekeestitches Everyone kept treating Shazam like the threat, when the real problem was the people manipulating the situation behind the scenes. 😭 The guy was fighting the wrong battle from the start. 💀
-
ScottTrevor10 (@ScottTrevo36308) reported@DGen_Media I mean, it really wasn't. The problem is it came out too late after being announced and it didn't have Shazam involved.
-
Jurly (@jurlycat) reportedSmart TVs and smart monitors are getting cheaper partly because manufacturers are turning users into a source of advertising and data revenue. Some use ACR, basically Shazam for your screen. It fingerprints what appears on the display, including content from connected devices, and sends it to a server for identification and tracking. Apparently paying for the screen no longer makes you the customer.

I.J KLMNOP (@MoPride_) reportedSometimes, I wonder if Shazam has ear problems.

James (@jamescoder12) reported85% of Google Pixel owners use their phone for the same 5 things every Android phone does. Calls. Texts. Camera. Chrome. Gmail. That's a phone with 15+ exclusive features features Samsung doesn't have, features iPhone doesn't have, features no other Android phone on earth can run being used like a $200 budget phone. Your Pixel answers spam calls for you before you pick up. It identifies every song playing around you on your lock screen, without Shazam, without internet. It erases people from photos. It swaps faces in group shots. It holds your place in customer service queues so you don't have to. Google buried these features behind menus, toggles, and settings nobody opens after setup day. A Pixel product reviewer who's tested 30+ smartphones in 2026 told me: "Pixel isn't the fastest phone. It isn't the most powerful. But it has more genuinely useful exclusive software features than any phone I've tested iPhone included. The problem is Google markets the hardware and forgets to tell anyone about the software." Here are 11 Pixel-exclusive features most owners have never turned on 🧵

CallmeStorm (@Storm08885011) reported@Phenomm_ This movie could be really good, but that's still not gonna fix the many issues that DC has and the DCU as a whole. The fact that Clayface is getting a movie before Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Shazam, and other A-list heroes is a ****** crime
-
Macon Hamilton. (@Feloniouscapers) reportedHe saying the movie Shazam never existed cause it was terrible as hell
-
Tyme machine 420 (@TymeM10638) reported@PghPublicSafety The city of coincidence. Lets look to our past. They wanted a new stadium to replace 3 rivers. Coincidentally, a wall mysteriously falls during a game. Fake prez Joe Biden came in to town to talk about decaying bridges...Shazam.. Frick park bridge comes down same day. Now 🤔
-
Dreams Uncharted Comix (@DreamsUnchartd) reported@CTPhipps1980 Well they did. They renamed him to Shazam a while back to avoid problems with Marvel I think.
-
🆔 (@Nobleboyy7) reported@slowswirling Whats this song my shazam is down atm
-
JOHN 🍿 🇺🇸 (@Tmbenedict) reported@bekeestitches The problem wasn’t Shazam… it was forcing a pure joy character into a universe that only wanted grimdark and corporate synergy.

Hefty 45 gal (@bernasconi_rene) reported@NancyMace When you watch James O Keefe where he wears a Hijab aka head scrap we use to wear them when my uncle who had the convertible took the top down for our hair they wear them to not give a man on the street a ***** and then be dragged into an alley and gang *****, slight difference, but head scarf... And they give their name and birthdate and Shazam they get to vote. Unless we stop this you will see this. How much is real Americans living here paying taxes working each day voted vs illegal votes. When you have open borders and no Save America Act this is what you get. Thune! Thune! Earth to Thune!
