@SCsupport It seems that all newly released tracks are immediately skipped over by the app/website while casting, while the older a track is or the longer ago we first listened to it the more likely it is it will actually be one of the few that will play when casted

[sb @SteveBud7]

@SCsupport I've been having issues casting using SoundCloud for weeks - whenever I try to cast a track I want to play on my home speakers, it will not play the track and will skip the track I picked (and sometimes many others) before finally starting a different track.

@SCsupport Casting from from the SoundCloud website on a Microsoft Surface Laptop from the Chrome browser also has not worked

#Pope Leo XIV went to Villanova, so pretty sure that makes him Pope Jawn the First

What is causing the issue with casting these tracks and how can I fix it? SoundCloud has been basically unusable for casting for weeks now - others I've talked to are having the same issue and are unable to cast things they want to listed to on SoundCloud

[sb @SteveBud7]

It seems only a small handful of tracks will cast, and anytime a new track is released I want to cast SoundCloud will just skip it until it gets to one of the handful of tracks that will work with casting. When I'm not casting, all tracks play just fine.

The Big Problem is that we sort all the psychopaths to the top.

Under-regulated capitalism has allowed a strain of raging psychopathy to take control of key sectors of life, including business and politics.

At the root of this dynamic is that our system rewards people who don’t care about others because they have an array of options that people with empathy don’t have. It’s hard to be competitive when your competition is willing to do inhumane things you would never be willing to do. So the people who are willing usually win.

In this way, we sort all the high-functioning sociopaths and psychopaths to the top of the pyramid—and reward them lavishly for it. And once they get there, those people want to surround themselves with others who have no interest in empathy either—so they replace anyone who won’t behave like a sociopath with someone who will.

That’s how you get Robert Mercer, David Koch, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Donald Trump and the entire GOP cult.

Now is the part it gets weird.

Since the goal of these psychopaths is to make people behave in ways that are counter to their own interests—so they can steal people’s money for themselves—they have devised systems to turn “normies” into empathy-free zombies.

Large swaths of our digital and media existence have been captured by psychopaths who intentionally created platforms and methodologies for brainwashing people into their own cruel worldviews.

Look around. Social media and disinformation has converted a large percentage of our citizens into people who do not care about anyone but themselves and their cult leaders. The sinking feeling we have is driven in large part by people we know behaving in ways that seem sadistic and alien. We see cruelty, chaos and hate—and it feels wrong.

It is wrong. At least a third of the country has joined or been influenced by a fascist death cult. The world is, in fact, going crazy. You, dear reader, are not.

We have given the keys to our future to psychopathic white men who have proven that they want nothing but our destruction so they can pick up the pieces for themselves. Worse, those same people have not only sold their own souls, they are trying to sell us to our enemies.

Vladimir Putin, a psychopathic sadist with KGB training, is the perfect ally in their project. They are not scared of Putin. They want him to ruin the world. They want World War III. They want the End Times.

Why? Because they believe it benefits them. And that’s all that matters.

The fact is that psychopathy, cruelty and chaos is not what the vast majority of humanity wants. Most of us want to raise our kids in a world that cares about human beings, that cares about equality, that wants to move towards peace, not violence.

The key thing we have to address is the control that psychopaths have over information people bathe in. Until we do that, we will continue to lose people to this indoctrination system. Rupert Murdoch, the Kochs, the Mercers, Thiel, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. are creating hundreds of millions more of themselves—except their clones are under control.

These men do not deserve our trust. They deserve nothing but prison. They have intentionally poisoned us—think tobacco industry but 100 times larger—to benefit themselves and our enemies.

Fascism is fundamentally psychopathic, it is not ideological. It cannot be negotiated with. It must be defeated.

Republicans will force a 10 year old to carry her rapist’s baby to term, let a 6 year old carry a gun, permit a 12 year old to work an 8 hour shift in a meat packing plant and allow a grown man to marry a 14 year old with a Judge’s consent, all while telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender affirming care and books about Rosa Parks is because they want to ‘protect our kids.’

Bullshit.

The January 6 committee’s bipartisan report makes it clear: the insurrection was part of a broader plot to overturn an election and overthrow the will of the American people. Everyone who participated in that attempted coup must be held accountable.
