i put all my music on a cheap USB drive that i carry with me. easy offline access. not without its drawbacks. finding new music is always a challenge and that's the only thing i miss about spotify. but we managed it before spotify existed, we can still do it.
Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.
So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

when i turn off my window unit heater, before it shuts off it first needs to blast a bunch of cold air into the room first for some reason, like it's mad at me for not needing its services anymore

just left Hamnet halfway through, first time i've ever done that. but i genuinely can't tell if it was a good movie i just don't have the patience for or if it really was as tediously boring and manipulative as it felt to me

![Interivew with Carl Reiner and mel brooks about their friendship:
REINER Yeah, we got that big screen [gestures to incredibly large flat-screen monitor] to look at television.
Q. So you come here, Mel, and you watch TV together?
BROOKS Almost every night. He’s got a wonderful housekeeper-cook and we decide on a menu and a movie.
Q. What did you watch most recently?
BROOKS We watched last night “The Peacemaker.” With Nicole Kidman and, come on. [He gestures to Mr. Reiner.]
REINER George Clooney.
BROOKS Right. It was two and a half stars at the most. Good performances, very silly, you know.
REINER We look for movies with the line “Secure the perimeter.”
BROOKS Yeah, we like movies that say, “Secure the perimeter” and/or “You better get some rest.”
REINER “Lock all doors!”
BROOKS “I want a five-block seal!”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r335dcuzq7ta2fmsb2gk4dgn/bafkreiedzfvzpn6vjfmdnh53qypvfbz5jamzupo5rrysifikxyie5y77qy@jpeg)
people are missing the point. even if you don't like tarantino, we absolutely need pointless bitchiness and petty jabs between celebs. what else is there, really? that's it, i'm afraid. like it or not, tarantino is keeping this country together

normally not the kind of shit i want to read, and while i can't find it funny, given that it's real, but if a character in a movie searched "how to dispose of a body" on the website "murdermurdermurder dot com" it may be considered a little on the nose www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
'How to saw a body.' 'Can a body decompose in a plastic bag.': Brian Walshe's search history detailed at murder trial
Dozens of searches carried out on Walshe's laptop sought information about dead bodies and dismemberment, crime scene cleanup and computer disposal.

came home after a 10 hour shift to discover my property management company came and changed the exterior locks on my building with no advance notice. in fact no notice at all. no call, email, or text message. i was locked out and simply lucky a neighbor happened to be there to let me in.

Trump is summarily executing people suspected of being drug dealers, without providing any proof.
How close are we to Trump ordering the execution of Americans he considers opponents? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-illegal-executions

there's always going to be new tech that can be transformative, but at this point tech as we know it is completely stagnant. to justify their jobs, workers and managers are just tinkering, making things more complex and less good for the users. i'm sure there's a hope AI can make them relevant again
