Dropping off Spotify

[Justin Tonation]

 

Joni Mitchell is pulling her music off Spotify

And yes I realize this is the equivalent of posting first in the Dropping Like Flies thread

Good for Joni

I'm spending my morning listening to a defense of Joe Rogan and how "liberals need to stop attacking anti-vaxxers."

[Starsky]

Why do that to yourself?


Vaccine resistance at this point makes no sense….I mean we have to have over a billion people all over the world that have gotten the vaccines and I don’t see any evidence people are keeling over en masse from it…

So frustrating…. But you just can’t argue with these people

Thing isn’t it’s just the antivax BS being spewed that’s currently driving people off Spotify because of his presence..

Just this week there was this

Spotify's JR and guest JP suggest trans people are a sign of “civilizations collapsing”
Peterson compared being trans to undergoing “satanic ritual abuse,” referring to bogus satanic panic of 1980s

And this comment from the same show

JR: ‘Very Strange’ to Call People Black Unless They’re From ‘Darkest Place’ of Africa

Tom Brady

I can't, cancel Spotify . . . I like what it offers, too much.  Just like those tasty, hate filled nuggets from Chick-fil-A.

[Starsky]

But can you quit Tom Brady?

[GAY,GUY]

But can you quit Tom Brady?

I always thought he was very odd looking.  His life was just so magical and perfect in most regards, it seems almost not real.  To be honest, I fall into that category of hating a lot of football players who become, too damn superstar big.  I never paid him much attention while he was winning everything.  I liked the Skins and Ravens for most of my football watching . . . so what are you, going to do with that.

[grateful]

But can you quit Tom Brady?

I predict Brady will be a Commander in 8 months.

I'd be more upset if the "belly" soundtrack was protesting being on Spotify.
