Forgive me, but if your "industry" depends entirely on stealing someone else's work, it deserves to die.

Good god spotify wrapped is going to start soon. Want to #wrapspotify instead? It's pretty easy to switch and bring your playlists over with you, a much needed skill in this new era of platform enshitification.
We usually have our songs on all the platforms, we get paid more from the other ones (Apple music, Tidal, Deezer etc) especially since spotify demonetized tracks that don't hold a constant threshold of 1000 streams a year - 86% of songs on spotify don't payout

The Ottawa Citizen newspaper reports:
“Wastewater testing for the H5N1 bird flu virus is set to begin in the coming weeks in Ontario communities considered at high risk, said Rob Delatolla, whose University of Ottawa lab will lead the wastewater surveillance as part of a research program based at the University of Guelph. That will likely mean testing wastewater in communities in agricultural regions of the province. It is unclear whether there will also be testing in larger cities. . .
There is currently no widespread wastewater testing program for H5N1 avian influenza in Canada, as there is in the U.S.”

Had a very productive political discussion with my mom today that ended with her asking, “What’s a dog whistle?” and listening to and believing my answer.
Tips:
1. Ask questions to inspire curiosity and critical thinking.
2. Focus on fundamentals. Bring everything back to fundamental values.
3. Focus on your shared values. Ask questions to find out what they are. Use hypothetical questions to explore what these values mean to them and you.
4. When they make statements about their fundamental values and positions, cognitive dissonance will work for you when the discussion moves on to how those values apply to controversial political issues.
5. Defensiveness is bad. If they get defensive, you’ve triggered their conditioning. Back off, remind them of your common values or shared need for safety, and try a different track.

States, cities, and universities are dispatching the cops to beat the suspected antisemitism out of their students. It's a mistake.
Just got asked to perform at a 'respectful and vibrant closing ceremony;' for Indig. Ppls month by an #AI company that specializes in mineral and coal exploration, large retail etc helping to "build trust and confidence in the capital markets" and it's like HOLY do they ever know me well to hit so many of my most hated issues. oh ya! no mention of pay whatsoever.
