How to quit Spotify This Black Friday, here's a guide to finding the best Spotify alternative

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:

I'm very tickled that I got Publisher's Weekly to use the word "cryptonaturalist" in a sentence. (And I'm very grateful for the kind review.)

Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

I don’t know what that is! Just Irish American

I’m excited to learn more about my ancestral language!

The annual thanksgiving meme returns

A beautiful November evening featuring progressively feral child 😂

It’s transgender awareness week, so if you weren’t already aware, you are transgender

Sounds very weird!

IS IT GOOD??!!

lol like you think I’m overselling it?

Holy shit the new Predator was amazing!! Also it was like a wuxia + death stranding the inspirations were so obvious! Predator movies winning so hard recently!

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

When ball pythons periscope it means they feel pretty safe and curious in their environment

Probably mimic our local wildlife and rest more all the time. Many laying downs and day naps. More rest

We missed the auroras but had some cute family time under the stars instead

I truly can’t decide which love interest to choose they’re both equally dangerous lol! But I’m leaning bad boy general Li Tai despite the other prince potentially being the better schemer mostly because of the gay storyline honestly lol

It’s very fun! I’m excited to see which ending I get! I unlocked a secret storyline lol!

Road to Empress is simply a delight so far. It’s basically Dragons Lair but with a fully filmed story with live actors just like a historical cdrama. Super fun that’s it’s based on Empress Wu Zetian. Very clever in that it uses typical plot tropes but the right choices aren’t the typical ones!

Hey, #ttrpg folks. Due to Bas losing his job, I’ve got all my games on sale for the remainder of the year at least, so if you’ve been eyeing any of my works now’s the best time. I’m grateful for any and all support.

An unopened copy of Heavenly Bodies on a table

Heavenly Bodies is a 2p card game inspired by Gin Rummy and Koi-Koi.

Each turn is simple: draw cards and discard cards—but you have to be careful. Do you take this card now? Will it still be there next turn?

Players *must* balance their choices against reading their opponent’s goals.

Thank you! The light was a gift from my dad it’s super cool I’ve wanted one for a while helpful with bedtime routine too!
