On one hand, consumption of pirate IPTV services in Sweden has dropped two points, from 16% of all households in 2024 to 14% in 2025. On the other, 30% of over 15-year-olds consume content illegally every month, a figure that rises to over 50% among men under 35.

I hate when they just throw statistics at you like this.

30% of all Swedish people over 15.
50% of all Swedish men under 35.
14% of all Swedish households.

… I think? Does IPTV = all pirated content?

Well there’s your problem.

If you’re going to keep doing these, why not make a newsletter?

Where’s the graphic from?

Soulseek is nice. Community of people sharing their music libraries with each other.

Banana hammocking is bad for your back.

You gotta lay in it diagonally.

As someone who worked at a local roaster, the coffee was objectively better, but the owners were trying really hard to be like Starbucks in every other way.

I wish the employees had a union, but it was a college town.

Basically, don’t invite either of them to queer Thanksgiving.

If they actually made that work… respect.

To who?

It looks you’re coming at this in bad faith, so I’ll ignore you.

For anyone else reading, the CIA version basically revises “brutal dictator” to “brutal ‘captain of a team’.”

OP’s saying that neoliberals and the CIA were/are contradicting each other, not that Stalin was a good guy.
