I’m not a shill for Spotify. What you wrote is inaccurate. All the DSPs pay about the same: 70% of their revenues: half of the royalties went to independent artists and labels. As for sound quality, for the vast majority of listeners this is immaterial. Nearly all the music is now lossless.

This is arguably not the case. Say what you will about reimbursing idiots like Rogan for their megaphone, but Spotify’s UI is best, their fidelity to cost ratio is high and their playlists are the standard. And Apple hosts Rogan as well.

To be clear, the Obama administration essentially made permanent 80 percent of the Bush tax cuts. Not equivalent but salient none the less.

How ruthless are you willing to be to ensure that Democrats regain the majority in November? And what happens when the Democrats finally have the power again? @briantylercohen.bsky.social’s new book, The Day After, tackles these questions and more: youtu.be/HGS91u924kg?...

The media have a vested interest in sucking up. Until they start getting jailed or thrown out of 11th story windows, they will continue to play both sides.

I’ve lived in Japan for a decade where strawberries are a seasonal fruit for about 2 months, 1/3 the size of “Driscoll” ones, and about 2/3 more flavor. And to keep it real about 75% more expensive.

How about staking out 3 policy positions: raise the federal min wage to $20, universal healthcare, no cap on payroll taxes. I don’t think impeachment gets you anywhere without conviction.

What is an example of a possibility: are we talking about the lamest possible duck doing even more stupid shit or Democratic Congress emboldened to oppose him? I’m betting on the former btw; the Dems are worthless: too OG to be effective.

You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

This is a massive and unconstitutional voter suppression effort aimed at giving Trump the power to create a list of who is allowed to vote by mail. We know where this will go -- the targeting of Democrats for mass disenfranchisement. We will sue and we will win.

In general Klein doesn’t press guests. If that’s what you want, he’s the wrong dude. He also doesn’t platform guests who don’t already have one, so no harm done. Finally, a listener ought to be smart enough to know when his guests equivocate or dissemble.

The only thing that matters is “plays”: how many people listened to the track. 7,000 vinyl sales represent a purchase of a souvenir. It is de minimus. What are listens: how many plays did the song get on streaming platforms this week. The rest is noise.

Hot tip for keyboard warriors: whenever #MAGA says they conceal carry, just tell them you have conceal carried since you were 18yo in multiple states and that your Glock is bigger than theirs and move on. They don’t suspect for a moment /s and drop the BS right away. Really this works every time.

At this point, a major incentive for Trump to interfere or otherwise illegally interfere with free and fair elections in 2028 is that the trials of him, his cabinet and family will be replete for the decade following his term.

#MAGA is a cult. A group with intense, often unorthodox devotion to a person, characterized by extreme control, manipulation (like isolation, gaslighting, love bombing), and potential harm to members.
