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.
Staying on Spotify is no different to staying on X.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.
Directed by Tony Richardson, it changed my whole life to this day.
The impact it had on British cinema was immeasurable, and one that led me to La nouvelle vague and a whole new world of cinema.

#VOH stands for Voices of Hookland, because you can’t tell the truths of anywhere and exclude voices that aren’t the middle class academics, authors and professionals the weird fiction genre relies too heavily upon. Dairy men, shelf stackers, factory workers all sing the strange truths of place.

This will impact EVERYONE.
Combined with other anti-protest measures proposed like bans on face coverings, the Crime & Policing Bill will see the right to protest in the UK stripped to the bone.
Protest is fundamental to democracy. We must protect it.
