Trump cutting off foreign aid has further revealed just how many subversive NGOs depend on US money. These diversity and LGBTQ orgs were almost entirely funded by US donors and taxpayers.

Reason #286 to stop using Spotify
In an article titled 'Ghosts in the Machine', Liz Pelly writes of her discovery that Spotify has been quietly running an operation called 'Perfect Fit Content (PFC)'.
Spotify discovered that many listeners were simply putting on playlists to fit a certain mood, so they started to remove actual artists from the playlists and replace them with PFC - quickly-made filler slop by session musicians, often given a back story to make them seem credible. This enables Spotify to avoid paying real bands/artists royalties (as if you can call the pittance Spotify pays artist 'royalty'), and is probably one of the reasons why Spotify founder Daniel Ek earned more from Spotify in the past 12 months than any artist has ever earned on the platform.
"It puts forth an image of a future in which—as streaming services push music further into the background, and normalize anonymous, low-cost playlist filler—the relationship between listener and artist might be severed completely."
As I read the article, I wondered whether it was about to prove my prediction: That Spotify would start to simply AI-generate 'music' so that there were no royalties to pay at all. It certainly lays the groundwork...
"It’s not hard to imagine a future in which the continued fraying of these connections erodes the role of the artist altogether, laying the groundwork for users to accept music made using generative-AI software."
Spotify, for its part, has been open about its willingness to allow AI music on the platform. During a 2023 conference call, Daniel Ek noted that the boom in AI-generated content could be “great culturally”.
Please at least try to support artists by buying records. If Spotify is the primary way you listen to music, then you are aiding in the destruction of non-mainstream music.

Never mind the blood, bones and rubble. Visit Greater Israel and see the hot new nightclub everyone is talking about: The Gaza Strippers!

This is what uncritical, wildly exaggerated and irresponsible MAGAtard slopaganda gets you.
Looks like dying for Israel is back on the menu boys! As easy as it was predictable.

Ghost DNA Americans kick and bully a $70K robot, which tries to run away.
When the robots turn on us, it will be these “people’s” fault. We can only hope that the robots will be justifiably racist.
