So the new Spotify co-CEO names literally translate to:

North-stream
South-stream

Or you could view it as... Upstream & Downstream

Sounds like something out of a bad book

Shouldn’t be lost on people that often it’s the military that stands up to dictators, when the dictatorial thugs are in the streets

Don’t think we are anywhere close to there but… history is history.

I think there’s actually a rule they can’t pay for any of the other players! Very broad but as a way around secret β€œwe split it” deals

There were technically 4 rounds of votes?? Seems like he got lucky for being dumb

I'm still a believer in taxes, but...

Being on the business owner side, I get the anti-tax sentiment!

What do you mean I'm paying $412 in taxes to get $1000 in take home salary??

Obviously that's including both employee and employer taxes, but sheesh.

Been a godsend to get all the NFL news together!

It's very funny to me that I joined Bluesky because of all the academics and tech people but I use it 99% to just read about NFL news...

I left Twitter in 2020 and had been missing that sports "live tweeting" ever since

Truly the midterms are the most important election.... ever.

If Dems win back house, there's checks. If they can win back Senate (hard but... who the hell knows what he will do between now and then), he *can't* try it. Oh, supreme court says it's ok, pass laws!

Completely infuriating that 99% Democrats are acting like we're still in an Aaron Sorkin drama

It’s crazy… I’m like, am I missing something? Are they so worried about DEI and migrants they can’t see how they’ll destroy the economy?

It's horrifying but it's so dumb, it's kind of hard to understand. Is MAGA so brain-rotted they won't realize if they destroy the economy IMMEDIATELY, it won't affect him?

Stop federal budget spending? Ok, quick recession thanks

Deport 50% of all farm workers? Great, we can have can a famine just like Mao's

Put 25% tariffs on countries that make all our good? Inflation too, how perfect

Well, all of the Trump actions in the FIRST WEEK are bad, and I get the 1930s Germany comparison.

But... can't imagine that Germany in the 30s so obviously just hurt the entire population, so quickly, for no good reason.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

It doesn’t even make sense as β€œpro biz”… wouldn’t more cancer drugs make sense for Pharma companies to sell

Truly just β€œlet’s hurt people”

One thing I've learned in 1.5 years of #entrepreneurship is how exponential growth feels, when you're starting from 0...

All good to hear "wow in 6 years I built my biz to $1m by growing 2x every year" but that means year 1 was like $10k...

And that's ok! 2x, 2x, 2x, 2x...

Between this and light, we really have no ideas how sites really were in the past
