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?

So this Christmas, if you know someone who doesn't like their birthday, instead of buying them an Amazon voucher why not give them a gift of a new birthday, like Robert Louis Stevenson did for Annie Ide back in 1891. 🎁 This could be next year's John Lewis Christmas advert.

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

It seems a little odd that the Society of Authors Awards explicitly exclude Gaelic and Scots language writers, despite nominally being for British and UK authors.

Machine translation IS powerful. But it's also a blunt instrument challenged by context and tone. That's why it takes a translator and writer to get things right. It's like an F22. World's best fighter, but it still takes a highly trained pilot. You can't throw an amateur in the cockpit.

George Orwell and The Founding Fathers
You may want to prepare yourself for the coming Trump administration by rereading George Orwell’s “1984” if it’s been a while.

Tha a h-uile ainm ùr-nodha aig aon àm, seadh, ach tha ainmean air an taghadh le adhbhar. Nam bheachdsa chaidh 'Gàidhlig Dhal Riada' ainmeachadh mar sin airson toirt a' chreids gu bheil e nas aosmhor na dualchainntean eile, nas ùghdarrail, agus 's dòcha airson sònraichteas a thoirt don ainmeachar
