What’s the math on raised subscription rates and fewer subscribers? Calculate that.
Major record labels are reportedly pressuring Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming services to raise subscription prices, saying current rates haven’t kept up with inflation, according to Financial Times.

I think I want to give some time to building up my chess game. Haven't played regularly since HS but been playing one of my boys lately, starting to tighten up.

When things like this does happen, it shows that the artists truly have power and now I refuse to go to expensive concerts.

Ain't no way Jimmy John's got fresh bread! Fake news!
My homegirl works at Jimmy Johns, she says every night they throw away all the fresh bread they didn't use that day, so I told her to start giving it to me. I'll start giving that shit out. Crazy as hell to just toss it.

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool.
It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.

My Day 1’s know my vision for this as well. Maybe the retirement passion project one day.
I really want to own a bookstore cafe. The moment I come into money that’s one of the first things I’m going to do. Find a building for a bookstore cafe in Brooklyn and Mass because that’s where I will be living
