Bigfoot

I am in a similar boat. Since you have Tidal might want to look into Tidal-dl to “backup” the things you especially like in high quality.

Tidal is actually not too bad, and it pays artists more than other services (not a lot, just more) but I do expect it to go downhill/away eventually so I make a habit of downloading what I can and supporting the artist directly in other ways.

These threads/articles always get the facts wrong, TikTok is not “getting banned”, they are just forcing the company to divest from it’s Chinese parent company.

If you think Taiwan and Ukraine are “other countries’ wars” I have bad news for you. It’s better to pay as much money as we can now before the payment is made with american lives.

Israel is something else obviously, as was US involvement Iraq and Afghanistan. But the bulk of the money is absolutely worth spending if you value your freedom. It has nothing to do with the housing crisis whatsoever. The US has enough money for both.

It’s not on X. But I think it’s a viral marketing campaign for Don Lemon. He still sucks but he played Elon like a fiddle here.

Watching Elon struggle to choose between admitting he’s a failure, or not the big boy boss man was gold.

Still trying to rectify the illegal immigrant thing in my own mind, have to chalk it up to Elon being misinformed about the data I guess, because that made an unfortunate amount of sense.

He was (awkwardly) trying to point out Elon’s hypocrisy. The US has a strong existing structural political bias towards red states, who (on average) get significantly more funding and representation per person than blue states.

If Elon was truly concerned with “unfair allocation of funds” and “unfair representation in congress”, you would expect him to be upset with gerrymandering, the electoral college and other things in addition to undocumented immigration. The fact that he only speaks up when it involved majority nonwhite refugees is telling.

That said, I agree it fell flat. Also letting him claim that the “great replacement theory” is actually just about census-related funding is like saying the civil war was about states’ rights.
