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? #music #advice #streaming

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.

Good morning

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.)
