The reason you should consider running your own streaming server at home is to support the musical artists you love. All streaming services pay these artists very little for their efforts. Buy downloadable music from them directly or from Bandcamp and listen from your own server. Get Roon to turn 1/

Spotify sucks. I recommend Qobuz because they have the most high resolution (24/96+) versions of songs/albums. Tidal is also very good so I use both. If you have a streaming server at home get Roon since you can combine all your music services plus they have the best player & playlist generator.

Snopes verified it was true. They (Spotify) said the government is running them across all platforms 🤨 @spotify.bsky.social needs to come forward and refuse to run them

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

What’s weird is if 5% of white people had voted differently,

or 5% of non voters got off their asses & voted, none of this would be happening.

We cannot deny that the children born now are going to pay the price for the folly of this experiment with full blown fascism.

And didn’t we owe the kids

It's not about getting the hot girlfriend, enjoying the hot girlfriend, or even having people get to know your hot girlfriend. It is merely about the APPEARANCE of having the hot girlfriend.

A guy I knew in school posts pictures of him with half a million dollar sports cars and women in bikinis and whatnot. I learned the other day he rents the cars and pay the girls for 10-minute photo shoots. He sells a grindset online course.

The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

My wife worked at WilmerHale for 22 years. Retired as IP partner the last week of March. Her final act was speaking up at the firmwide meeting where she and the entire partnership voted unanimously to sue Trump. “Who wants to hire a law firm that won’t even defend itself”, was the mantra.

👀 someone calling out big law firm complicity and cowardice

Sign reading BIG LAW LITTLE BALLS, and then listing a bunch of lil ball'd firms:

A&O Shearman
Cadwalder, Wickersham
Kirkland & Ellis
Latham & Watkins
Milbank
Paul, Weiss
Simpson Thatcher
Skadden, Arpa
Willkie Farr

Then the sign ends with a Trump quote that should make these firms put their heads in the proverbial bag:

"They gave me a lot of money considering they did nothing wrong"

Trump's behaviour has never changed. Fabululist, entitled, couched in "I always win, you should just give up & lose". But he doesn't always win. It is a lie.

Stand up. He & all his sycophants would have you believe he is unbeatable. Lies all.

Dear historians,
Notice how, contrary to common belief, things are clearer from a distance. In Europe we immediately recognized the fascist tendencies of Trump in 2016 and we were screaming it from the top of our lungs.
