Every time a piece of comic book art is sold, 10% of the sale price should go to the original artist(s) if they’re still alive and kicking.

also, Spotify doesn't pay royalties at all for tracks with less than a thousand streams.
and sometimes if an album gets a sudden surge of fan interest, Spotify deems it "unusual listening activity" and just removes the album, as happened to my last EP.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Kun je andermans pijn ‘voelen’? Ons brein doet meer dan we denken
Wie ziet dat een ander pijn heeft, voelt dat soms zelf ook. Nieuw hersenonderzoek laat nu zien hoe dat werkt: kijken en voelen blijken in het brein veel nauwer verweven dan lange tijd werd aangenomen.

Certain abuses of power and privilege should lead to the perpetrator having their assets forfeited and being banned from certain professions.
What I wish the “should people be permanently canceled?” conversation would be focused on is not whether or not a rich guy should get to keep being rich. At every club he goes to, Louis CK Is in a privileged position over the exact type of people he victimized. Is this okay to do to THEM? For HIM?

I have seen men kill their own romantic feelings for their wives/partners like this. If you only focus on the negative and constantly mock your partner, you will inevitably lose all love and respect for them even if you started out being passionately in love.

Uit angst voor uitzetting durven veel ongedocumenteerde werknemers misstanden niet te melden. Terecht, blijkt uit onderzoek van OneWorld en @groene.nl. De Arbeidsinspectie werkt namelijk samen met de Vreemdelingenpolitie. Daarom worden ook de schoonmakers van Saints & Stars waarschijnlijk uitgezet.

Almost anyone can become a bit more charismatic. If you make it into a habit to show genuine interest in others and act with genuine kindness, people will find you likeable. however, people who disavow empathy, render themselves unable to do this.
charisma is the one thing all the angry little nerds can’t build and can’t buy no matter how rich they get or how much of society they destroy and I just think that’s beautiful
