Very cool read on musical piracy. Especially loved that they described using Limewire back in its heyday as "the equivalent of wading through a dollar store that’s just been ransacked and shit’s all over the floor.” www.pigeonsandplanes.com/read/music-p...

Doesn’t happen often but it’s such an indescribable feeling when a musician, artist, writer, band etc. whose work you really admire follows you back.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Just watched a video of a WNBA player saying she signed a contract for $999,999 instead of $1 million because she saved $13,000 in taxes. People really don’t know how taxes work in America.

As a longtime member of #NotForMeAndThatsOK and #letPeopleEnjoyThings, I have long held back from criticizing the Bananas because it feels so harmless of a thing to enjoy. But YES, extremely Evangelical-coded and so antithetical to my own interests, tastes, etc. and I can't say why, exactly.
