For those (esp musicians/producers) who have difficulty joining the dots. Royalties you have earned & are being denied are instead going to the Rogans of this world. So ups to all for helping to create the fuckery we are about to go through (again) & funding war tech etc. stay away from Scumify plse

Spotify just reported record-breaking profits.

In totally unrelated news, Spotify stopped paying nearly 90% of artists on the service ANYTHING (no royalties for songs w <1k streams/year)

Spotify Hits 252M Premium Subscribers, On Track For First Full Year of Profitability

"We’re where we set out to be — if not a little further — and on a steady path toward achieving our long-term goals," said CEO Daniel Ek.

Israel isn't complying with the ceasefire agreement (letting in aid, releasing Palestinian hostages, simply not killing people) because the state doesn't want a ceasefire: it wants full liquidation.

Don't allow a complicit media to paint Palestinians at fault for their own genocide.

There's a Nazamba album on OBF due in November so hoping there will be more Thompson Sound re-licks.
& if you fancy something a little ways different I have to push my/our own boat, taken to further extremes by Seekersinternational on the remix album and 12"

No Buy Thursdays is an effective way to support the Palestinian people

It’s simple - just organise your life so that you don’t make any monetary transactions on a Thursday

The more people who take part, the more effective the plan

Please share widely

#NZPol

🇵🇸
No Buy Thursdays - this Thursday and every Thursday!

Take action to support Pa/estine by:
Not shopping on Thursdays
Paying any due bills before or after Thursday
Filling up your car or topping up your bus card on any other day
If you can - make Thursday your work from home day
Any other suggestions? Please make them in the comments section

Spread the word - if we keep this up over time it will show in financial statistics, and if our leaders notice the change in spending habits they will sit up and take notice. Because, as they say, money talks

True - the perpetual lowering of the shame and decency threshold makes any sort of accountability or responsibility almost impossible.

💯 The worst people and abusers of process in Paliament are almost always the besuited Peterss & Seymoursss et al. Personally I’m still all for them having to wear the patches of their sponsors like racing car drivers, would clear a lot up.

Don’t forget to cancel your Spotify account (if you still have one). Running ads for ICE was the final straw for me. They claim it doesn’t violate their policies, but it’s still immoral and unnecessary.

Remembering legendary producer Joe Gibbs who was born on this day in 1942.

From the late '60s to the early '80s Joe Gibbs produced hundreds of classic reggae singles and LPs. Here is just one of many favourites...

New study from Melbourne finds reducing residential speed limits from 50km/h to 30 km/h on local roads would protect cyclists from danger, make riding less stressful and get more people cycling while not causing traffic delays for cars.

Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds

One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-ten chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it was a nine-in-ten chance

The people of Palestine still need our support - Israel has breached the ceasefire 14 times as of 8am, 15 Oct NZ Time, they’re not letting the agreed amount of aid in and they are keeping the Rafa Crossing closed

Trumps “Peace Plan” is a farce
