Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

I don't believe it. It took far too long and occurred just when Trump needs a bigger and thicker smokescreen. Add to it that the FBI is now led by a Trump appointed idiot and I am guessing that they simply found a fall guy.

NEW: Admiral Frank Bradley arrives on Capitol Hill for a classified briefing on the “double tap” boat strike, where US forces hit a target once, then hit survivors and vessels again as they tried to flee.

He’s the one Trump and Hegseth are trying to throw under the bus to save their own asses.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

I can finally show one of my favourite paintings from last year! This was a commission for @illumicrate.bsky.social which was printed on a blanket included in a recent Afterlight box.

Auroras are my favourite natural phenomena and i'd love to see them some day, so i'm very glad I got to paint one!

New in PN: Costco demands a refund from Trump

"One of the biggest importers in the country has entered the fray, at the risk of finding itself crosswise with the Trump administration. This is what happens when you let the president break the law for a little while."

Friends, vikings, countrymen: lend me your eyes. May I present what just happened an hour ago in Iceland?

It was an early, short substorm, but it was a good one. Literal space weather!

So many new followers; thought I'd say hi and answer questions 👋🏼

I'm Jessý, scientist & founder of Sidequest: Iceland (launching soon!) We do travel for nerds (yes, nerds.) We have tours w/ scientist guides.

The biggest #northernlights question we get: why are there so many big auroras right now?
