In this life, many demolitions are actually renovations - Rumi Life is a series of rooms. We give our lives form, function, and meaning by who is in that room with us on any given day. One room, one day. - me Pro page: www.thatwordgrrl.com

Friends who were living out of state lost their house in Altadena--sweet little 100 y.o. Craftsman. Fortunately, their tenants got out OK, but the whole house was burned down to the foundation.

Lander dropping out worked because y'all have ranked choice. That's a good thing.

Same here. I do use BandCamp for purchasing and SoundCloud for following specific artists/labels. My problem is that much of my niche interests is from labels and artists who are far more popular in Europe than here.

I like SoundCloud for tracking specific artists.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think either Harris or Biden would have put out an AI video of themselves as royalty, flying a fighter jet that dumped their shit on blue cities. I know, wacky, right?

Apple Music can go perform an anatomical impossibility upon itself after it thought about 100, legit, irreplaceable music files on my hard drive were pirated and simply disappeared them because they weren't in the Apple Music library.

I deep-dive into very specific subniches. Spotify is the only service that can give me that depth. I would love to port to Tidal, but my understanding is that its catalog is lacking by comparison.

How difficult is it to export playlists from Spotify to Tidal?

Check that date. This was almost 3 weeks ago. Fortunately, he's getting dragged in comments there.

Looks like he deleted that little nugget. Now his most recent post has him asking how to gain followers. Maybe don't be an ableist dick and understand that deleting shit doesn't send it to some electronic black hole. The internet always remembers.

Also? Understand that deleting stuff doesn't send it into some internet black hole. The web remembers.

Maybe try not being an ableist dick?

Yanno, if you:

1. Chide people for attending a protest;
2. Double down on that for disabled people;
3. Are proud to put your ideology above voting;

don't be shocked when I am disinterested in listening to someone who couldn't bother to do the bare minimum of resistance every four years.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

It's really hard to sell a protest as violent when you have unicorns and dinos dancing along like its a rave party.

I have reached a point at which the only valid response to MAGAs is a sea lion GIF. Without context. If they respond, they get another sea lion GIF.
