A Spotify Wrap
And guess what, I still know who my favorite artists are.
Spotify is an awful company, there are better ways to listen to and stream music. (Also, you should pay for your entertainment so long as we live in a capitalist society)

When I think “I’m only making music, it’s not that important,” I need to read this.
Virtually every institution I engage with regularly—the university, healthcare—is falling to pieces in front of my eyes.
But live music? It continues to deliver everything its social contract has always promised: community, joy, a vision of a better world.
Go to the gig.

Pete Hegseth is the poster child for incompetent, entitled, white men being in charge of anything.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t feel as safe as an American under this administration. And I’m a cis, white, middle-aged male.
I cannot fathom how it is for the rest of you.

Clearly, the least informed member of Congress is the Speaker of the House.
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?
MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

You mean a conspiracy driven podcaster with no law enforcement background wasn’t a great pick for FBI director? I mean who could’ve predicted this?
A leaked 115 page report by current & former FBI personnel describes the bureau under Kash Patel as a “rudderless ship” & says he is “in over his head,” lacking the experience & bearing needed to be an effective FBI director—

A local political candidate posted a criticism of Tim Walz on Facebook. In it, he misspelled Tim Walz’s name.
His FIRST name.
Pay attention to local politics so you can prevent the village idiot from getting elected to run your village.
