Bad all around. I switched to Tidal. Better sound too
Honestly guys if you're still paying for Spotify it's time to move on. You're literally paying for AI warfare:

When I discovered Twin Peaks & Blue Velvet at age 15-16, he became the first director I really admired. Incidentally, my latest BlueRay purchase, just the other week, was Mulholland Drive (Criterion version). Thanks for the work David Lynch.

When I was 12 and worked at a farm for a couple of summer weeks I managed to run myself over with a tractor. Yes you read that right. Complicated but doable.
What's a thing that happened to you that sounds made up? For me it was when I was 20 and I had a job at the Louvre auditorium and former French president Valéry Giscard D'Estaing hit on me in front of his wife

Deleuze may nail an ideational core in Straub-Huillet’s films (rising & resisting voice resonating with what’s buried in the earth, etc.), but Godard captures their sensory, aesthetic core:

I just became Docent / Reader / Associate Professor. A title formality, really, but sort of fun too. And thanks — the more substantive aspect in all this — to the Danish professor for their very encouraging and generous research evaluation.
