It's kind of like trying to give up smoking but if we were still living in the time when doctors were prescribing cigarettes to pregnant mothers and you needed cigarettes to chat to your racist uncle.

One small upside to these rushed, illiberal "hate" laws that government ministers can't seem to explain:
I've never heard so much "Are people allowed to say '𝑰𝒔𝒓𝒂𝒆𝒍 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆'?" in mainstream media interviews. Galling that govt can't answer, good that even Karl Stefanovic is asking.

If you need a good news story, reading @margaret.bsky.social preliminary response to whats happening in Minneapolis should inspire the fuck outta you.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
