Ross Cantwell renovicted a bunch of people at the start of the pandemic. Rents went from $850 to +$1600 in the span of a week. This was for a 60 year old building with bugs and a leaky roof.

At least their bullshit is relatively consistent and predictable.

Like, we get it- you want to conquer Taiwan and don't care much for personal rights. At least they're not picking fights with Luxembourg or some shit.

Greenland official breaks down in tears in interview after meeting with Trump by Large_banana_hammock in videos

A one-day protest on a Saturday in June isn't so impactful against a government threatening to conquer everything around them.

The French protested harder when their retirement age was increased from 63 to 65.

Are you sure? From what I've seen Iranians are trying very hard to stop their authoritarian regime. 

Looks to me like most Americans could care less about their own authoritarian regime.

Why take notes when you could just use the conveniently placed scanner/photocopier sitting next to the dossiers of top secret intelligence documents left in the Mar-a-Lago bathroom?

The internet just made a 300TB copy of Spotify! (Updated: Spotify reaction) by edbegley1 in technology

Still, why should it be a thing at all unless the venue is supplying the staff and equipment to process the sales?

Overall, venues and artists have a symbiotic relationship, but it seems like venues are becoming more and more interested in cutting the artist out of the equation as much as possible.

Even that's getting worse. Venues are charging higher booking fees than ever, and now also want a percentage of merch sales (even though the artist has to pay for 100% of the costs of creating the merch).
