Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.
He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Man, you guys would not BELIEVE what’s been happening on The White Shadow [headcanon] since 1981.

Yep - you are in charge of your own headcanon.
To double up on this:
A series is over until a new one comes out and then it is immediately over again. If you can cultivate your brain to have fun with ambiguity and imagination, you too can literally never need a sequel and just enjoy what is done and in front of you on its own terms

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

The punk ethos has always been about mutual aid and community. We *know* our systems and institutions will fail us; that’s why we’re punks. “Pick someone up in the pit” is much more than literal, and especially when we’re most down in the shit, we need to remember that.

Instead of "This is inappropriate!" Democrats - especially those who might run for president - should say right now "Anyone who participates in this should know: You are committing a crime, and in the next administration you will be prosecuted."
That will change the frame of the story.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.
And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.
