Saturday Overnight Open Thread (4/6/24)

Janet said, “Too bad you didn't look in the freezer... we'd both still be alive.”

Insufferable prick? You be the judge. NSFW

Ollie made me light up like Blackpool illuminations.

I was 21, at university, and hadn’t had the best history with guys. I’d been out on dates but never really found that chemistry where I wanted to take it further.

Ollie was different. He was on the same course as me reading politics and I had flirted with him for weeks. We had gone for drinks together in groups but we always found ourselves sitting near each other and bursting into laughter.

My heart skipped a beat when he pulled me to one side after a night out and asked if I fancied going for a drink together.

Saturday night fare, wouldn't you agree?

Spotify to raise prices? IMHO it is still a good deal.

For many years, Spotify held strong at its monthly subscription of $9.99, but that changed last July when Premium jumped up to $10.99. Now it appears that the leading subscription music service is planning another price hike -- and not waiting nearly as long this time. Bloomberg reports that the cost will go up by between $1 and $2 in the UK, Australia, Pakistan, and two other markets by the end of April, with an increase planned for US customers "later this year."

But there's one important asterisk here: this all assumes that you're interested in listening to audiobooks on Spotify. Part of the reason for these subscription increases is to cover their cost, after all. Spotify has already grown to become the second-largest player in audiobooks behind Audible -- and it's quickly expanding that effort into new countries.

Some of rock's biggest acts have suffered dramatic fragmentation while trying to create new material.

Even at the best of times, bands can be combustible. When alpha creative types work together, egos inevitably clash. Then you have to factor in personal biases, drug use and external influences. Shove all of these ingredients in a small studio with long hours and little sleep and you start to realize why recording sessions can create such volatile situations.

Drug use? Who knew.

I think he has a bigger problem than his photo being on the LEO Facebook page. Genius Award Winner.

Cops: Suspect Requested Facebook Photo Deletion
Perp was wanted for exposing himself to girl at Walmart store

APRIL 4--An Iowa man accused of exposing himself to an 11-year-old girl he trailed through a Walmart toy aisle called cops and asked that a store surveillance photo of him be removed from the police department’s Facebook page, according to a criminal complaint.

The lewd act, investigators say, occurred four months ago at a Walmart Supercenter in Iowa City. The child told cops that an adult followed her in the store and, when she looked over at the man, his genitals were exposed and he was masturbating.

Walmart security video, cops say, showed the man “following the victim out of the toy aisle just before the victim reported the incident to her mother and store employees.”
