Things are so bad. It’s overwhelming. And these cretins feed off of this despair. It’s their vampiric life force. They profit from it.

If you still use Spotify it's because you suck.
You suck at life for relying on that evil company for the purest form of art humans have ever come up with.

There is no practical reason for AI generated images, video, or music. What problem does it solve that justifies the enormous waste and heating of the planet? Buncha no talent dorks thinks it’s cool.

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes.

Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

This is what happens when discretionary income evaporates. No more fun plastic things.
Funko is $250 million in debt.

The company behind the Pop! vinyl figurines you have undoubtedly seen absolutely everywhere warns it may not last another 12 months without an acquition or additional funding.

RSD Black Friday for me:

Young Fresh Fellows - Loft
Son Volt - Trace
Jonathan Richman - You Must Ask The Heart
Flaming Lips - Live Yoshimi
Dylan - Freewheelin’
Miles Davis - Live at the Plugged Nickel

That’s about it. There are some outliers like the Ramones, Sleigh Bells, Love, Curtis Mayfield…

I believe that people hearing recorded music the way it’s meant to be heard— in the best possible way, it can change the world. The right sound and acoustics can feel like the warmest hug. It can feel magical. It can give you the chills. It can wake you up.

Hey so how did that 60 Minutes interview go? I bet they really grilled him on the economy, inflation, the unemployment rate, destroying the White House, the shutdown, people facing starvation, all that gold, his crypto scams, invading US cities, blowing up foreign ships, or perhaps the Epstein Files
