At least 3 largish artists (Xiu Xiu, Deerhoof, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard) have announced they are removing their music from Spotify. The Spotify contracts aren't with the artists directly, usually, but with the record company, so it can take some time/work to get it all pulled...

I think they set a new speed record to go from getting FU money to saying FU. Seriously, their deal paying them $1,500,000,000 for 50 new episodes was announced Weds afternoon, Weds night their new episode aired, making fun of Trump and his tiny p***s and Paramount (their bosses, technically)...

Do we have any poetry appreciators, here? I'm mostly a fan of the Beats and their heirs, but can approve of other styles. You can even post your own. I'm not gonna, probably, but YOU can.

Just out of curiosity, and for no political reason whatsoever, what are your favorite pieces of dystopian fiction? Are you a fan of the classic novels, like 1984 and Brave New World? Maybe something more modern and specific, like Handmaid's Tale or Parable of the Sower & Parable of the Talents...

I'm curious about this topic. Can we separate the art from the artist? A number of artists of one form or another who I have enjoyed the works of, either their individual works (in the case of a writer or painter, as well as some musicians) or group works (band members, actors/directors, etc)...

Seriously, why did this guy agree to this without even getting a second opinion? I wouldn't trust anybody to do this except my wife - and I shouldn't trust her, but there ya go. Yes, I'm being deliberately mysterious. https://www.yahoo.com/news/mexico-man-awarded-412-million-212856304.html

Anyone else on Bluesky? @gandalfe.bsky.social

I thought this was a pretty good video about social media. Abigail Thorn posts good, thoughtful things, although she does grind an axe or two a little hard even for me. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F9QzXjUB10

For some reason, I got two messages about this trophy, and is shows up twice. Oh, I bet someone liked a post, and then unliked it, and then liked it again. Or something, although I don't show any of my posts were liked at that time, the closest was one from just less than an hour before this.

I just noticed we passed the 2 million post mark (since the great reset, obviously). Do we happen to know which post was the big 2M?

I actually don't mind, the rule makes sense. Everyone is too intimidated to go into the paint against him. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31467260/indiana-pacers-myles-turner-wins-blocked-shot-season-title-utah-jazz-rudy-gobert-per-exception-nba-rule
