Literally no clue why Spotify standing behind someone who spread misinformation surrounding covid vaccines didn't cause more people to leave, been enjoying my physical music collection ever since. Fuck Spotify
I won’t be sharing my Wrapped because I stopped using Spotify years ago when they stood by Joe Rogan. If that wasn’t enough of a reason to leave, they’ve made plenty more since.
Stop giving them money and start buying records again.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history.

Finally got an Xbox 360 after so many years and logged back into my old MS account. So many memories. My profile picture is Mountain Dew. Also, my HD-DVD drive works 😎 the format may be dead and literally rotting in some cases but I'll watch them until they die for good

It was an honour to attend the RNIB's 'Out of Sight: vision rehabilitation' drop-in.
I heard about the difference that timely access to local authority support - known as vision rehabilitation, can make, and learnt more about this vital but often overlooked part of social care.
[attached are three photos of paula at the drop-in. in one she is holding a sign that reads: i'll stand up for bland and partially sighted people']

A Charlotte man was stopped twice by ICE. The first group checked his ID and let him go. Minutes later, another set of agents rolled up, smashed his window, dragged him out, and assaulted him

It literally never was. I suggested to some other NCMEC Board members when I was there that we should push back on the wrongful use of “groomer” to describe non-pedophiles. The answer, from Rich Kolodziej, NCMEC Board member: “we aren’t here to protect Democrats”.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

Fuck I fucking hate Google. Why do tech companies think they have the right to install software on my phone without my permission while I'm sleeping? Had my phone rooted since the day I got it two years ago, I wake up today and it's updated and un-rooted. Fuck off.
