In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

“This Crocodile Rocks” Watercolor with colored pencils and gel pens. Done for an art prompt of ‘crocodile’ on discord. I just couldn’t get Elton John out of my head.

Whips this out when I get carded at the bar

i drove past a sign yesterday in connecticut that said in really big type I WILL SUCK and then in small type beneath is YOUR LEAVES with a phone number

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

California Highway Patrol on Saturday announced the "unscheduled closure" of section of Interstate 5 near #CampPendleton due to public safety concerns linked to controversial live-fire military demonstration after Officials Previously Promised No Shutdown patch.com/california/o...

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

The Birch Aquarium put a giant skeleton in their kelp tank.

The Saudi government murdered Jamal Khashoggi seven years ago today. His editor @karenattiah.bsky.social wrote this two years ago.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything. Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

A thing that genuinely makes me angry is Europeans who don’t tip when they visit America even though they know about tips in America and then are just like “oh well we don’t have a tipping culture because we pay our servers so well” First- do you?? And Second- rude and exploitative

Trump's FCC yesterday voted to kill a program that provided free Wi-Fi to rural school kids at no cost to taxpayers, falsely claiming the program was "illegal" and was being used to "censor Conservative ideology."

If the federal government is going to withhold funding from the country’s most prosperous city for nakedly political reasons, why should that city still pay federal taxes? It’s a question we’re going to have to wrestle with.

maybe the single worst thing about aging is that as they get older most people grow much more circumspect about crushes. excited chatter about crushes has dropped off every year since i turned 30. where are people finding all this restraint?!

Since it clearly needs to be said: If you used an AI cover for your handcrafted selfpub novel, it's not too late to change it! Please do! We all want to read your work - and that won't happen while you use AI. You can find 1000s of free stock images online. Consider this an industry PSA.

Really. Keep in mind AT&T makes a TON of money both ripping off rural communities with expensive cellular (often the only connection anybody can get), but ALSO ripping off school subsidy programs. Free government Wi-Fi is a threat to them in multiple ways.

Content creators tend to think any spectacle is defensible if they can say health and safety concerns have been attended to behind the scenes, but that’s not really it imho. Mr. Beast’s whole thing is that his subjects’ desperation for cash allows him—a wealthier person—to indulge his sadism.

In roughly 6.5 hours, my internet will be shut off for failure to make payment. I am only about $10 short of being able to pay the bill. Please, if you can help at all, I could really use your aid. Links to contribute below.🙏

In four days, we could be seeing an unhinged event every eight hours, until they are coming every four minutes. darth, we should witness a double event within seven days.

ko-fi.com/dreamingnoct... Hiiiii Still trying to meet my goal. Rent is due soon, and I forgot that the payment arrangement for my phone is due today, as is my contribution to the internet bill… Anything at all helps. Thanks so much~

Interesting to note that the coal industry in the U.S. employs just a tad over 40,000 people, according to the BLS. The same source tells us that 64,000 people work at wineries.

At long last the Evelyne/Masao TESTPATTERN album is here! Vintage Japanese lush electronics with intricate yet minimalist production recorded 1984-85. TESTPATTERN is available on both double LP as well as CD, and includes a fold-out poster with liner notes with lyrics 🇯🇵 evelynemasao.bandcamp.com

That nostalgia they’re feeling, why it’s so powerful, is because Ai is regurgitating the film and television and commercials and magazine ads that originally created it. They don’t even know they’re not pining for their own memories but for the consumption of an aesthetic designed by Madison Avenue.

There seem to be some students who are only taking certain classes specifically so they can surveil and discipline the instructor or other students. It seems pretty straightforwardly counter to the notion of the classroom as a space where students can voice uncertain opinions, learn, and grow

this increasingly feels like adult baby shit

In reporting this piece on the new trial for a Huntington's treatment, I was struck by one thing in particular: The joy. One of my sources wept for joy. He has spent his entire career studying this disease, he said it was the happiest day. www.sciencenews.org/article/hunt...

Think of what all this money could have positively contributed to society. I’m gonna be sick. But first I’m gonna be PISSED
