Re: Cancel spotify

I've been a subscriber to youtube music for years.

Google isn't great, but the control one has on a subscriber account is nice, as is the no-ads on Youtube. I'm probably feeding the wrong corporation

You can now dismiss anyone arguing that they need guns to prevent tyranny, because the tyranny arrived, and they've been OK with it.

Re: Maddow: We are now a fascist state

I've been calling it fascist for quite a while now.

It's good that others are saying it out loud. People don't listen to me. Which is probably best for their own sanity.

Re: Trump says Ukraine started the war

Fortunately, the EU seems poised to increase its support of Ukraine. The US and Russia can come to an agreement, but without Ukraine being a party to it, it's useless, unless the US commits material support to Russia. That, of course, sounds preposterous, but we can no longer assume that it is. I th...

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war

His Gaza stuff is, quite literally, a crime against humanity. The sort of thing for which they execute leaders. The media, for its part, seems to be treating it as a bold, majestic , plan. The country is rapidly ceding any semblance of moral high ground. And Pete Hegset is negotiating on behalf of R...

Re: Did Elon Musk give the Nazi salute?

I never plowed through DSM-whatever version they're up to, but giving the Nazi salute to an adoring crowd is surely not a known symptom of autism. It is, however, a well-documented symptom of fascism. DSM V Speaking as someone with Autism, no, it's not a symptom. That they tried to use it to excuse...
