I enjoy that they’re focusing on ‘promoting pirated software and game cheats’ before talking about malware first.

Cybersecurity ethusiast Karol Paciorek who spotted the playlist said, “cybercriminals exploit Spotify for malware distribution. Why? Spotify has a strong reputation and its pages are easily indexed by search engines, making it an effective platform to promote malicious links.”

That’s a very different, more helpful story. “Watch out, Spotify links are being used to distribute malware to your computer.”

When abusing platforms, spammers and scammers leave no stone unturned to promote their agenda.

Money. They aren’t doing this as part of a ‘peons of the world unite to steal software’ scheme. They’re doing it to generate traffic so they make more ad revenue.

“Frankly I was a little bit disappointed in 1986 when we moved from a six-day week to a five-day week,” he added.

“I was not very happy with that. I think in this country, we have to work very hard because there is no substitute for hard work even if you’re the most intelligent guy."

Funny how the out of touch billionaires keep pushing this line of thinking. The guy is on record saying he doesn’t believe in work / life balance and is currently pushing for a 70 hour work week in India.

Not for nothing, but waiting until the waning days and weeks of your presidency to take a trip to the Amazon and say this feels a little … lackluster.

And exactly the kind of thing people are grilling the Democrats for after the election. Biden should have been saying this in his first year, not the 11th hour.

“America is for Americans only,” he shouted at Trump’s Madison Square Garden campaign rally.

This from a guy who’s grandparents were immigrants. And who’s been jet-setting the past couple of months with an African immigrant (Musk).

Really, he means white.

As somebody who tends to be a ‘glass half full’ kind of guy, I really do hope that Trump goes too far and does something like the above causing people to snap out of whatever trance led them to follow him in the first place.

Aside from democracy and society as a whole, the biggest loser in this last campaign was traditional media. I don’t think any outlets came out ahead and confidence for many in publications like the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CNN, MSNBC, and others is at rock bottom.

Tell that to Cuba.

They’re just also just borderline disgusting now. All of the ones around me have the same shitty old grey carpet. They aren’t clean. Most of the aisles look like warzones. What little staff is there have that ‘please help me’ deer in the headlights look.

And don’t get me started on having to wait an extra 5 minutes to leave because the 75-year-old grandma has absolutely no idea how to use the self checkout.

Non-voters? 100 percent.

Third party voters? I don’t think anybody who votes for a third party ever had any intention of voting for one of the big party candidates.

It’s almost like the reasoning music industry execs used back in the Napster days. “Oh we’ve lost a bagillion dollars because people downloaded those songs instead of buying the album” when most of those folks doing the downloading never had any intention (or ability) to buy the song.

Great video by the More Perfect Union folks about how CVS is cutting corners and putting customers at risk, all in the name of the almighty buck.

They also did a video a few weeks back about CVS employees needing to strike to get health insurance … despite the company owning Aetna.

If we can get all of the sports reporters to head over, that might be the final death blow to Twitter.
