Live Nation and TicketMaster are leeches who profit over having artists beg for scraps to play their venues, and they own most of them.
These recordings clearly show why they must be broken up and dismantled.

Times New Resistance: https://www.abbyhaddican.com/times-new-resistance
'How it works
Times New Resistance autocorrects specific words as they are typed. For example, the word ICE autocorrects to the Goon Squad and the word Trump autocorrects to Donald Trump is a felon.
To the untrained eye, Times New Resistance looks just like Times New Roman – the official font of the U.S. State Department. When you install the font, it will appear in your font menus as Times New Roman, with an extra space between the words Times and New.'

The new book that Scott Meslow wrote on Twin Peaks is so far—I'm a third in—the best I've read. Fun, interesting, puts a finger on paedophilia—because the series handled masterfully that like no other media did, as far as I know—and with a lot of explanation that isn't navel-gazing. I recommend this book!

How to quit Spotify: a guide from Brian Merchant.
He's gone with Qobuz, a platform that I'm also running with. I'd love to try Coda, as they claim to give artists the most money; I've listed my favourite music-streaming platforms on a page: https://garden.pivic.com/music/music-streaming-platforms - please let me know if I've missed a good platform that treats musicians like human beings.
While places like Spotify and Tidal are overrun by AI slop, Qobuz feels *clean*.
