If anyone who needs to hear this, canceling your Spotify account is, in fact, an act of resistance.

A Spotify crash shows the regime how unpopular they are, but crucially, it shows the oligarchy there's economic consequences by hitting them where it counts.

It spooks other CEOs from cooperating.

Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads.

Is Spotify running advertising for ICE or Border patrol recruitment?

Is Spotify running advertising for ICE or Border patrol recruitment? If I see 1 ad for such nonsense, I will be cancelling my Spotify accounts and will encourage all others to do the same.

Apple was pressured by the DOJ to remove ICEBlock. Google removed Ice reporting Apps too.
Apple and Spotify are both bad; but Spotify were not compelled to take ICE ads, they did so willingly. And they pay artists less.

Never forget that Mike Johnson has a history of covering for GOP pedophiles.

Before he ran for Congress, Johnson was attempting to open a law school named for Rev. Paul Pressler, the former head of the SBC, and a notorious abuser/rapist of teen boys and young men.

Johnson ignored the reports.

Wasn't a full-on test play. We made new characters as I might some slight but important changes to the flow of this so it's quick and easy. We had a look at some new abilities and ones that have changed and some changes in terminology and the like, all of which went down well with the players.

Happy Saturday folks, it's play test night for Skies. I made a number of small adjustments and additions over the week so curious to see how things go and how big an impact if any these will make.

RE: Tron Ares.

You might think Jared Leto is a bad actor, a poor musician, a toxic person who ruins every project he touches, and a diva who can turn potential into a box office bomb.

But don't forget one thing.

He's also a registered sex offender for, among other things, SA and being a pedo.

If Biden would've let ANY foreign power build a military base in US soil (let alone Middle Easter one that sponsors anti-American terrorism), MAGA would have been been out on the streets demanding he be hanged for treason.

Instead, Fox News is gonna convince these yahoos its actually a great thing.
