The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

Badass Jorge!
Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

I'm 100% for this.

Does it have exceptions for streaming apps that DO take into consideration (smaller) artists comp?

This makes sense today, but wat about the nexf gen apps that try to not be greedy?
Music artists make, on average, only $0.003 to $0.005 per stream, yet platforms like Spotify made over $1.3 billion in profits in 2024.

Let's pass my Living Wage for Musicians Act to take on corporate greed in the music industry and give musicians the fair pay they (cont in reply...)

Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music.

Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use.

Spotify Is Forcing Users to Undergo Face Scanning to Access Explicit Content
Submit to biometric face scanning or risk your account being deleted, Spotify says, following the enactment of the UK's Online Safety Act.

Why are official music videos in english like WAP censored, but most spanish language totally not, on YouTube?

Yea Spanish is the sexier language, I didn't know it was literal lol

This really grinds my gears. They've been doing it for a while. It's just vertical integration from Spotify leadership, they don't care about music.
I am once again begging you, if u must stream music, to consider any of the competitors from the chart below that pay artists better than Spotify.

Thank you for this! Didn't know about Qobuz but I'm on the free trial now and it looks so much more grown up than Spotify

and it pays 4 times more to their artists, and no 'ghost' songs

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I've chosen to avoid this wave of AI altogether. I'm not interested in becoming one with the machine. If they are willing to spend time and money training artificial intelligence, why wouldn't I do the same for the real thing.

Apparently, the University of Washington School of Medicine has frozen all non-clinical hiring in response to the Trump/Musk administration attacks on science and science funding.

Destroying healthcare to own the libs.

It looks like someone has launched a coin named $PAVEX on Solana to milk my reputation for a quick pump and dump scheme.

I have absolutely**nothing** to do with the project.

The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.
