AI-generated nazi and racist songs are "flooding" Spotify.
There are many alternatives to Spotify, which offer just as much choice (in better audio quality) and reward musicians more fairly. Buying physical albums and CDs? Even better.

Diversity doesn’t weaken unions. Racist bosses like Vance using racism to divide workers by race so they can exploit them weakens unions. All this stuff is arsonists complaining about the temperature in the building they set on fire. bsky.app/profile/diew...
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Re-watching the Arsenal Vs Atletico on Prime Vision and jesus the passing options are truly terrible. I'd love to understand how they are calculated as they're barely ever right. Also it's just horrible having all the stuff on the screen as well.
