I could see the yellow fur of Winnie the Pooh being viewed as a reference to Asian people being “yellow” skinned.

However, the likeness of Winnie the Pooh and Xi Jin Ping are so similar in some of the pictures I have seen that I think it’s a more innocent making fun of and not a racism making fun of.

What a badass. I love anyone that promotes transparency or media/political literacy.

Good job doing something so hard with so much care. Your dog was lucky to have someone care so much for them. I am crying too from remembering how I felt in similar times and imagining how you must feel now.

Thank you for treating life so delicately.

From the article: “Once Spotify realized how much attention was going to white noise podcasts, the company considered removing these shows from the talk feed and prohibiting future uploads while redirecting the audience towards comparable programming that was more economical for Spotify — doing so, according to the document, would boost Spotify’s annual gross profit by €35 million, or $38 million.” That doesn’t sound like it’s costing them $38 million, it sounds like they are speculating they COULD make $38 million. I was confused as to how they would be losing money.
