Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:
How to quit Spotify
This Black Friday, here's a guide to finding the best Spotify alternative

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:
Letter to the Guardian. The protection of badgers has a long pedigree (Report, 29 August). Arthur Gore, known as "Boofy", the eighth Earl of Arran, was a fanatical defender of them. He was also a tireless campaigner for the rights of homosexuals. In 1967 he managed to push through a law in the Lords that decriminalised homosexuality but failed to pass a bill to outlaw the cruel hunting of badgers. When asked why he had not received enough support for his badger bill, he replied: "Not many badgers in the House of Lords." Tony Lywood Keswick, Cumbria

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

A page that looks like a scan from an old game magazine. A circular graphic contains a watercolor illustration of an enthusiastic wormlike dinosaur thing with a smiling yellow star and a worried looking blue diamond. A box in the lower half contains an illustration of a treasure box with a funny face, decorated with white crosses. In front of it are a green potion, a gold coin, and a silver key. There are also 2 game screenshots. One is of a title screen, featuring the dinosaur like worm, and one is of the same character standing in a little stonework house before a blue spheroid face, which is speaking. The text on the page is one continuous statement and does not relate to the images. It says: Header: Wondering how young I’ll die. Featured text, next to round illustration: We now take it as granted that the western empires will collapse. Title screen screenshot: In a real sense, it has already happened. House and dialog screenshot: we were born into a dead world. Text below screenshots: and now decay begins. We, having prepared all our lives for a future that can never arrive, feel lost. We must go on living. But what will life be, and how long can it last? America has become a nation of endless plagues

I get that some people genuinely think every trans person is mentally ill, or delusional, but if your response to the existence of trans people of that its ok if they get raped in prison, you're a disgusting disgrace of a human being.

Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb).

aftermath.site/horses-indie...

At least read this paragraph:
What this underscores is the sheer danger of market consolidation in gaming. While companies like Valve and Epic do not legally have to carry a game, to not do so is functionally a death knell for that game on the PC; Santa Ragione has said it threatens the studio’s continued existence. This is not equivalent to a theater chain declining to carry a movie; this is two (mostly one) American companies more or less deciding what content is commercially viable across most of the world, in ways that are somehow more vague and opaque than the MPAA. This is a hegemony of American prudishness, applied globally, incoherently, unevenly, and unseriously. Anybody responsible for these decisions would be vaporized in seconds by a Pinku movie from the 1970s, and if a single person in this chain of command has an arts degree they are pretending they don’t for the sake of an ill-defined idea of business. Horses cannot be the ceiling for what is artistically and commercially possible in games, because otherwise we are in deep horseshit.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.
The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

#TRON #TronLegacy #TronAres "Heroes from the Grid."
Three figures stand alongside each other. The center, a male with a pixelated scar on his stern face. And in a white suit with a blue circuit board pattern. On the left, a woman with short black and blue hair, teal eyes, and purple eyeshadow. Dressed in a black suit with a hexagonal pattern on indented parts. A flat object is attached to her back. Along her outfit and the object are white lights, the one on her suit having a ring on it. To the right is a man in black armor, very mechanically detailed. He has his face obscured, features the same kind of object on his back as well. And has red lights through out his armor. Behind them are enviornments in blue, red and purple. They feature buildings, cranes and oceans, and digital clouds / grids. Going up are the three in bikes, all with a trail matching their color. Except the middle, who has an orange one. They drive along an electric blue grid. A logo in the upper left hand corner says "Doctor Funk Ninety Eight." It glows green, and is accompanied by a stylized skull. Shaped like a UFO. It also is glowing, but this time white.

A digital illustration in the style of marginalia from a map from the 16th century showing a sea monster, some kind of imaginary leviathan about to attack a three masted galleon. The monster is bluish-green with red-orange fins and details. It has twin blowholes at the back of its head, big bottom tusks like a boar, and flipper-like front appendages that also have long claws. It’s rising out of the water about to engulf the much smaller ship. A brownish banner with yellow text on it alone reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.
