Obviously these ads aren't running in Ireland/Europe, but the principle is the same. There are plenty of alternatives, and, incidentally, they almost all pay artists far more than Spotify does.
Cancel your Spotify subscription until the ICE ads stop. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Reading some comics from @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social
@streakofpith.bsky.social - Hannah Berry was not kidding about the 'existential terror'. This is a comic that is going to stay with me for a while. Incredible craft and execution as well, in just a handful of pages. Wow.

One more reason to loathe genAI is that it has marred one of the internet’s purest pleasures: funny animal videos. There are so many REAL funny animal videos we could be sharing, but now I have to second guess something which might have been a reprieve in the wall of misery in case it’s a fake.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Amazing. This is just incredible and brilliant.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Huge thank you to the comedians, musicians, artists and writers who are just as mad and bewildered as the rest of us but are still doing their best to make life worth living for everyone.

All I have ever wanted to be was a writer. I love writing. Sometimes it breaks my heart, it's a puzzle, it's a challenge, it's a joy, it's an uncertain career, it's beautiful, and it's the biggest privilege of my life to be able to earn my living as a writer. I've worked hard as hell for this.
