Hard to say goodbye to years worth of carefully curated playlists but once I learned that Spotify is running ads about "millions of dangerous illegals rampaging the streets" it had to be done. This is a music platform running hate speech. Hard pass. Giving Qobuz a try.

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue
Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

I recently have had several interactions with high school aged young people who couldn't remember their own cell phone number. It's happened enough that I assume it's somewhat normal, though I really don't understand how that works - do young people not exchange numbers?
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

I promptly canceled my Apple TV+ subscription and let them know why, even though we are in the middle of Foundation Season 2. These companies need to feel the pain of capitulating to fascism.

Why can they always find money for guns and bombs and soldiers but not for housing and healthcare and food?

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

It’s kind of like Anne Lamott always says, about being a writer. “You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.” I don’t think that changes because someone died or died from violence.

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence.

Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.
