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?

The acclaimed writer Tom Stoppard has died, at 88. For the award-winning playwright, “art is a game within a game—the larger game being life itself,” Kenneth Tynan wrote, in 1977.

Tom Stoppard, Withdrawing with Style from the Chaos
From 1977: For the playwright, art is a game within a game—the larger game being life itself, an absurd mosaic of incidents and accidents.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.
Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Outnumbered, Fox News, an exercise in absurdity.
Today:
- America has had problems, but NEVER as bad as other countries, ever.
- Growing up as a girl in America today is a blessing.
- It’s sad if you’re not proud to be an American.

This is frightening.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
