Husbear is on a kick streaming TV vids by some stoner dude on YouTube - the guy talks all about his "Smoke Seshs" and I feel like I should find a video on "Cataloging and organizing graphic novels, manga, and anime in a public library - by title, author, or character" or "Choosing a genre for Paranormal SciFi Historical Romance books" just to see him try to show some interest like i'm trying to do. #SmokeSesh #YouTube #Stoner #BoredNow #DeepSigh

Okay got the new update, but not getting the new “Advanced Security Protection” thingy. #deepsigh

Leftover #AmericanChopSuey for dinner because the only other #leftover is turkey. And pie dough, which doesn't count as a leftover. And all the pies are gone... #DeepSigh

Good morning Mastopeeps!

Well, doesn't seem like I missed much over the weekend.

#Trump is back at The Other Place.

The awful #WorldCup is still going ahead.

#MassShootings are still going on in 'Muricah.

#Ukraine is still being attacked by Russia.

#Poverty is still rife in the UK with the ongoing cost of living crisis.

#deepsigh

@afouxenidis I can't begin to guess what's going on here...#DeepSigh.

...and furthermore, check out this unsettling article:

"Unfree Agents"

#Spotify pushes an #Uber-like model for independent artists

via #TheBaffler

...and, yes, I've stopped using their service, and continued "discovering" music via #Bandcamp as well as #LibreFM. #DeepSigh, but in a good way.

;-)

@ScribbleAddict

Have a look at this article...

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/technology/facebook-privacy.html

...and judge for yourself.

Indeed, what is the alternative? Lately I'm leaning into #Bandcamp, which features many a new musical arrival plus unearthed treasures which I notice eventually find their way to Spotify (https://ostinatorecords.bandcamp.com/album/sweet-as-broken-dates-lost-somali-tapes-from-the-horn-of-africa for example), and there are thinks such as the #InternetAchive's Audio Archive (https://archive.org/details/audio), but none are as slick (so far) and the Spotify UI.

Again: #DeepSigh!

@ScribbleAddict

I do use Spotify, but I just might stop, especially considering the news about their unethical deals with Facebook that are surfacing...

But, in the sharing spirit with which you intended your message, here's the link:

#HappyHolidays!

...and I will definitely miss using Spotify, with its vast, varied catalog. #DeepSigh.
