In fact, they laughed about unilaterally stopping payment of any kind to artists/songs not well-known enough to garner 1,000 streams/song. Which, yes, is almost effectively nothing one to one, but by doing so across their entire platform it saved *them* a lot of money and removed all pretenses.

"Every missing document is, by itself, a violation of federal law, and these are the laws Congress wrote after Watergate to make sure the federal government could not run secret surveillance programs on its own citizens."

This is fucked

I sincerely beseech you to read this. It is terrifying and important. Repost it, get the word out. Tag media like @npr.org & @nytimes.com @wsj.com and whoever because this is absolutely something that needs to be investigated & reported on ASAP The headline isn't the half of it. READ IT ⬇️⬇️⬇️

That charcoal flavor was hitting this weekend. My cousin absolutely burned the wings but this Japanese BBQ sauce on them makes that delicious. I think I got a hot dog left in there somewhere

Boosie got dick on his mind way more than any gay man I've ever met.

And the railroad will be renamed after him as well. A special "Stanley Seat" right up front next to the conductor sells for a premium ticket price. You get to view the next ppl tied to the tracks.

However, Sneaky Stanley ran for his deep GOP House district seat and won; if you assassinate House rep Sneaky Stanley (R), a respectable moderate, congress will vote to fund a government program to tie people to tracks in his honor.

It's too late to do anything by pulling the lever, but what you can do is kill Sneaky Stanley, he's the guy with the rope that keeps tying people to the trolley tracks, and although you won't be able to prevent this tragedy you can prevent any tragedy like this from ever happening again

An old housemate went for his forklift licence and they pretended they could only pay for half of it. The truth was that they can only claim the full cost from the Government. So they were trying to steal from him AND the Government at the same time.

when i needed a smartphone for work the way it worked was i had to pay for it out of pocket and i'd get compensation back... after the same wait period, with receipts

It can be used to pay for 'vocational' costs, being items necessary for work: clothes, transport, training and accreditation for instance. It can also be used for 'non-vocational' costs, including essential costs-of-living. JobSeekers are not advised of this, but providers are given this training:

One thing I learned a few years ago is that employment services providers are authorised via the 'Employment Fund' to pay for your food and rent if that's a barrier to looking for work. FROM THE LAST BUDGET: 'As at 31 January 2026, there was $684.4 million in unspent Employment Fund Credits'.

Not sire if I’ll work on these anymore tonight. Once this layer dries I’ll check back in on them…

It's IDIOCRACY: LIVE and I cannot be bothered by respectability issues

Racism is radio stations playing Waterfalls without Left Eye's incredibly positive bars. What in the blue hell did they have a problem with? #TheAudacityOfWhiteness

Remembering Lisa Lopes on her birthday (May 27, 1971 – April 25, 2002)🕊💙 "I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms have come and gone, leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray, is it because my life is 10 shades of gray, I pray all 10 fade away, seldom praise Him for the sunny days.”

A curse upon every radio station that ever played this song WITHOUT Left Eye’s verse

A few bad episodes in a 25+ season doesn't sink the show. A few bad episodes in a 10 ep. season absolutely kills it.

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do? Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

Absolutely insane. I worked directly under Loryn when I was an animator for Buzzfeed and I'm glad she's speaking up about this. This is fucking disgusting.

It's so dark in a way that even other big SK hits are not. It's the first time you gather how really BIG his universes are and also "this guy may not be right in the head"

I think even those men have more imagination, look at how teens who had to work to see them used to talk about them (before internet or girls gone wild). That guy writes breasts like he hates them.

You said he was bad but I wasn't even prepared for what I was about to read.

Bro, you an ass man or a wobbly teapots man?

I gotta say, having TWO working prep table coolers from 1997 in the same kitchen is amazing, and keeping these units running is practically its own reward. They're not the prettiest, but it's hard to argue with 29 years of service holding 35*F.

There's definitely a balance to maintaining when chefs contradict each other 😅 so I put on my diplomat hat & reason that according to the serial number it's a 1997 unit on the original compressor... grandpa might be doing the best it can 🤷🏻‍♂️ But see here, torn gaskets top & bottom, that's 3-5* lost

Boyyyy, it's amazing no one is sick

Yeah I was clarifying here that the foot part is real, I don’t think the suing and diseases is real at all. (But I can def believe people getting sick because they were using everclear water to clean their feet… ew) bsky.app/profile/alui...

Yeah the reporting style is the giveaway

Unc, it is very real.

I want us to stop falling for AI "news" reports. Y'all can't tell that voice ain't real? I get y'all don't like feet men but come on.

It's the little things that matter most. Because we can't afford any of the big things anymore.

Legs.

Springsteen. Moments ago. Washington DC #nokings

Someone should tell him it’s actually more like masturbating and then declaring yourself a father

What this actually means is he travelled to Bosnia as a medical student in 1994 to provide medical aid with a group that was praised for their humanitarian relief efforts in 1994 by a Presidential envoy of Bill Clinton and was only designated financially linked to terrorists by the US in 2002.

Here’s that interview. The I.C.E. facility is along a major thoroughfare, so naturally I.C.E. agents have been pushing protestors into oncoming traffic. They want protestors hurt and for local police to join in using the blocked roadway as pretext. #ICE #Newark

Oh they ain’t even let the anesthesia wear off hahha

my god

I feel zero remorse for whatever get back these folks get. You hopped in bed with someone you knew would eventually stab you in the back and that being associated with would tarnish your reputation. Doing objectively unethical shit for them on top of that is the cherry.

I don’t give a shit about a character getting his comeuppance. the character is not a real person. the director is. a director shows what he cares about by how he presents the story.

Pet Sematary is a perfect horror novel and the scariest thing King ever wrote, alongside 1408 and The Shining. If that one didn't exist, it would be a toss-up between Misery / Cujo / The Regulators / IT. Hard to pick one.

It's like the federal government is receding from the united states

I’m glad artists don’t have to do much heaving lifting on why those genAI Amazon projects are bad. Gutierrez’s “it’s like having sex then they hand you the baby” comment has most of the internet like:

I used a wedge pillow the last week to elevate, it helped my snoring and almost forced me to stay on my back, but it's SO HARD. and then the weight was forced on my hips I realized cuz your nearly sitting all the way up

Long shot, but if there's any special support in Austin, TX for people arrested during a mental health episode, I'd love to pass that info along to friends. There's already a court-appointed lawyer, and dates. I've looked up info about calling & visiting.
