Not a half-baked gesture at all. Tidal has much better quality and pays artists four times as much as Spotify.
I just switched from Spotify to Tidal as a half-baked ethical gesture and maybe this is some sort of aural placebo effect but the difference in sound quality is startling, as though Spotify plays everything through a sock. Or am I just imagining this

get a copy of my book, Minor Transient Documents of Everyday Life, so you can read it performatively. It's poetry so it's extra pretentious

the true Butlerian Jihad is forcing people — by violence if necessary — to accept that “perfomative” doesn’t just mean doing something self-consciously

Other than it is weird that people are just taking photos of strangers, is there something inherently wrong with being a "performative" reader?

I wonder how many of the photos used in this montage by a prominent media outlet were taken with the consent of the sitter, maybe that’s a societal evil worthy of some investigation rather than whatever this is

If this was true, the ersatz imposter Paul would have written most of the songs from Revolver on, surely a greater talent than the original dead Paul ever was
Ah, 9 November – a sad one, this: 59th anniversary of the day Paul McCartney died, forcing the other Beatles to replace him with an orphan they had trained to impersonate him, and then (obviously) put clues in songs and on album covers so people could find out anyway
