I hate it when eBay sends a "GOT AWAY" message on something I never bid on and already deleted from my watch list. Brother I broke up with that vintage Donatello figure, not the other way around. ✋

Practice good media hygiene! Don't just post screenshots. Include the link to the news source and use alt text for images.

Sharing where the information comes from is paramount when it's easier than ever to just make stuff up. Supporting trustworthy media means including story links!

So you can't copyright anything you write with it, and if you use it to actually create something, they will own a piece.

This company and this entire business model is for Suckers and Dopes only.
Lmao the bubble is fit to burst, boys

This is a hysterical and insane choice, I hope they follow through!

They are raising prices again. They don't pay artists. They stole Wrapped from a Black intern and didn't even credit her. Their CEO invests millions in defense contractors. Tons of AI slop. Payola schemes. Why are you still using Spotify?
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

the people of MN have been murdered, brutalized and kidnapped for weeks now and have remained *amazingly* peaceful in the face of it. lecturing citizens to not “take the bait” etc is pretty disrespectful after a point and avoids the real question: how long are they supposed to take this, undefended?
State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.

I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.

But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

Don’t give him what he wants.
