"We’re where we set out to be — if not a little further — and on a steady path toward achieving our long-term goals," said CEO Daniel Ek.

For those (esp musicians/producers) who have difficulty joining the dots. Royalties you have earned & are being denied are instead going to the Rogans of this world. So ups to all for helping to create the fuckery we are about to go through (again) & funding war tech etc. stay away from Scumify plse

After years of denial and accusing anyone using the numbers of duplicity or Hamas sympathy, the Israeli military now admits — via anonymous briefing to domestic reporters — that the Gaza Health Ministry's death toll from the war is accurate

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
