The station is owned by iHeartMedia (NSQ: IHRT), a company with a $600M+ market cap. Money is the only language they understand, and boycotts work. If you’re disgusted by the ICE ads (and you should be), tell the station management, their bosses, and everyone else that you’ll be tuning out, and why.

While Apple does have some cool features in that vein (fall, crash, & arrhythmia detection; satellite SOS, etc.), their products aren’t advertised as safety- or life-critical and shouldn’t be judged by that criteria.

OTOH, maybe the technological “hand-holding” that Apple pioneered (if not quite perfected, apparently) is the root of the problem.
Because people expect their tech to “just work” they’ll whine incessantly when it doesn’t work perfectly, 100% of the time.

Honestly I feel like “sad” is probably one of the biggest sub-genres of holiday songs.
Heck, even “Last Christmas” by Wham! is a breakup song.
But if you want to be truly devastated, try putting “Christmas Lights” by Coldplay on repeat.

Holy shit you actually cared about a random shit-talking exchange on the internet enough to hold on to this for two whole months?
I’d forgotten about you five minutes after I posted. Jesus.
Do I owe you rent or something for living in your head that long? 😂

Right? Like I just saw a wedding pic someone just posted of a minor MAGA-world celeb and my first thought was hey that dude deserves a [censored] in his fucking [censored] but I couldn’t post that because TOS (not that I ever would anyway because that would be wrong).

Given a choice between reading a physical book and reading the same book in the Libby app, I’ll prefer the latter 99% of the time, solely because of the magical OpenDyslexic font.

Hi! ADHD’er, here! 🙋♂️
Trust me, I understand and empathize with those who NEED accommodations.
My issue is with those who would abuse the system. And there are A LOT of people who are abusing the system.
