Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Cartman getting revenge on Scott Tenorman

If you fall 10 times in the Ruins room where you need to avoid the red leaves, all the tiles will allow you to walk on them. And at the top right there is a wall without collision that allows you to walk out of bounds.

I still can't believe Sony sold K-Pop Demon Hunters to Netflix thinking it would be a flop, but are betting that basketball movie with a goat is going to be a huge hit in cinemas.

Everyone talks about how Twitter has radicalized people to the right but I absolutely believe it has also further radicalized left-wing people and made them angrier, more depressed, etc. How can it not when you’re surrounded by the worst people alive 24/7? That site is genuinely evil.

It has now been a year since I stopped posting on X. For @spitfirenews.com, I wrote about watching the platform I loved become a conduit for the worst extremism I've ever witnessed. I don't regret leaving. In fact, I wish I'd left even earlier. spitfirenews.com/p/x-bluesky-...

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

I seriously take time out of my day to cancel any app that adds an 'AI chat' component and then email them to tell them why. I should value my time and yet here I am a professional complainer.

this reminds me of a friend who thought he was middle class so he donated his car to a charity that helps poor people and a month later, he saw his car at his neighbor's house

Honestly "Don't Engage, Just Block" has transformed my social media experience so profoundly that it's hard for me to describe. It's just so much better to be online now.

I hate that negativity gets all the amplification by social media algorithms. Let’s amplify LOVE instead. I am beaming love at you. Right now. Fuck the haters. I defy you. I am beaming extra love right into your face. Relax and be loved.

I HATE YouTube Shorts, I HATE TikTok, I HATE Shortform “content”, and MOST OF ALL, I HATE X.COM!!!!

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I'm sorry if you use TikTok and you're over 30 you are a fucking idiot

This is unbelievable. I got suspended by bluesky just for quoting the lyrics of the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and changing “hold your hand” to “stab you with a big knife”

the second comment - don't think i can even argue with it

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

I heard someone on a podcast say that music is boring now and, look, I am saying this as kindly as I can…skill issue.

When the Yankees get eliminated

I don't want a response track from Charli. A beef that begins publicly with a song where Party 1 admits they get shitty and insecure around Party 2 is dead and embarrassing from the get-go, I genuinely hope it does not continue.

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

Greta Thunberg has been detained in an Israeli cell infested with bedbugs and supplied with insufficient food and water, according to activists: “They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag.”

If you compare Taylor Swift to Eminem you are obligated to share this, it’s in my contract www.otherdavemoore.com/p/how-you-ge...

Me listening to the Charli diss track:

Here’s a movie I adore with an awful Rotten Tomatoes score AND audience score

🤢

I wonder what @seanfaywolfe.bsky.social thinks of this Olivia Dean song

could we all just agree to keep acting like he's dead from now on, no matter what, can we Sixth Sense him please

Weird how 'childlessness' is regarded by some as this eccentric lifestyle choice but there's no such word as 'catlessness'. People without cats who aren't trying for a cat or waiting until they move into a bigger place before they can have cats are the ones we should be writing probing profiles on.

i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there

this site is bad! it's going to fail! its user base has plateaued! it's not making any money! nobody here is smart except for me! everybody here is stupid! nobody is having any good discussions! i don't like being here! ok that's it for now. be back in 90 minutes

agree with everyone that the sabrina carpenter album cover is incredibly problematic. she's not doing any carpentry

Bluesky is mostly great Also Bluesky is an actual business with actual people trying to be a business doing business things so that they can eat and keep the virtual and real doors open Sometimes the former and latter get into a slapfight

😲

Ah excellent a new Taskmaster series from a country I know very little about, starring a bunch of people I have never once seen or heard of. This will be the best 10 weeks of my life

Fuck Gavin Newsome actually.

if i had to wake up everyday and pretend to care about “wokeness” in ads or whatever mentally brain dead rightwingers have to do everyday i think i would eventually kill myself. reading their words is so tiring. i imagine pretending to care writing them is much worse

the average cis person's opinion on trans people seems to be "they shouldnt be allowed to transition until a decade after puberty, also i prefer them when they pass. no i dont know how any of this works and i wont listen if you try to explain"

For those in Mississippi, and in the UK, and around the world where your country/state is gonna be assholes - @proton.me has a FREE VPN that you can use, forever! account.protonvpn.com/signup?plan=... I'm not sponsored by Proton but I'd happily take a +1 on Google if you know what I mean ;)

Bullshit. She ran a campaign on “more of the same” which was supporting a genocide, courting republicans, and failing to stick up for trans rights while the right spent millions of dollars to attack people like me.

if you are ever tempted to write off the residents of a "red" (i.e., gerrymandered) state and say "set them adrift, let them secede, they deserve what they voted for", you are missing all the thousands of stories like this where the human beings in those states are pushing back every single day

Not to brag but I piss very frequently

Tremendous crossover move right here:

The ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ sing-along event has now SOLD-OUT over 1000 theater screenings. New locations are being added daily.

HOLY SHIT LIL NAS X COMEBACK INCOMING
