  LP vinyls are great fun to hunt for a bargain, one of my best finds was a Double Album of Joe Cocker for 8€! Last vacation found Prince’s first album- original pressing, and I didn’t grab, and regret not getting the George Burns album (which would have been an interesting one just for it being unique)

  Always go hunting when visiting other cities and on vacations, always fine one or two interesting ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI layoffs are looking more and more like corporate fiction that's masking a darker reality, Oxford Economics suggests | Fortune⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Layoffs are only used to prop up quartly/annual profits for shareholders. Period. once that is acheived, the CEO gets his bonus and doesn’t give a fuck if it happens again because if he gets fired he’ll have a golden parachute as well.
