So I wanna drop Spotify, since they're evil. My three criteria:
- selection of indie/punk/electro plus classical and jazz (yeah, I have range);
- Ability to (easily I hope) scrobble on Last.fm;
- Easy transfer between my desktop and #Sonos speakers.

Qobuz? Deezer?

A lot of people treat boycotts like dieting. If you "mess up" once you may as well eat a whole cake.

Remember that financial pressure is about large trends. More people spending less money. You're just one part of a larger effort. Do your best; reduce your dependence on the worst of the worst.

A photo of a jar of pickles with the caption: Approximately 70% of all people who get cancer have eaten pickles. Most people who recently died in car accidents ate a pickle in the past year. All Americans who ate pickles in 1901 have died. Therefore pickles obviously kill people. (This is a post about Tylenol and autism.)

*We* aren't supposed to believe it - they don't care. The cult is supposed to believe it - and they will.

#hottake - I have always found Rage Against the Machine to be the most milquetoast and impotent of things that call themselves "protest music." I get it dude: you can yell. Yell something interesting hmm?

a parody of the "Don't Tread on Me" flag in which the snake wears an ICE hat and a sandwich flies at its head with the legend, "Don't Throw Sandwiches At Me."

Hey Subway! Whoever made this deserves free sandwiches for life.
