Midwestern MAWG, so of course it’s really important that I have a platform to spout-off my opinions on whatever.

The first iPod I owned, the cheap shuffle one that was shaped like a stick of gum, had a habit of starting every playlist with this track. I will always associate beginning my morning jogs in college with it. Give it a listen.

It’s no longer online, but my all-time favorite Onion headline will always be ”All Else Fails,” which was probably around 2004/05.
What is the quintessential Onion headline? The strong contender that just randomly popped in my mind is "Hank Williams Jr. Honored by Institute For Football Preparedness"

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I had a mild craving for the crappy blue-box Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, so I said “screw it,“ went to the grocery store, bought a box and made it for dinner.
This was a big mistake.

DONALD TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: There are a lot of reasons to still buy your music on CDs. Sound quality is beautiful, just beautiful. We're going to look into bringing them back. I have my CDs at Mara Lago and its a tremendous collection. Spotify does a terrible, a truly terrible job.
DONALD TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: And, you know, the Game Awards, they gave Best Music to God of War instead of Xenoblade 3, and it was very unfair

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

sometimes i feel like the republican party is a big tornado that is coming to kill me. and the democratic party is the rickety shed that i'm hiding in. and i say "we should really fix this shed, because it's not doing much." and people say "what? why aren't you criticizing the tornado instead?!"

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.
