The EU has sanctioned Russian singer Shaman for supporting the Ukraine war, so Spotify — being a Swedish company — has obviously removed his songs from their store.

So I had to check, and sure enough: The “good guys” at Apple are happy to carry the music of a genocide supporter.

Get a grip Tim Cook.

@randahl Yeah, but Apple doesn't like what the EU does.

Denmark is known as a country with steep taxes. But there is a stark difference in taxation, depending on who you are.

Three examples:

A factory worker pays 51.8 percent in various taxes on their income.

Company profits are taxed at 22 percent.

The Maersk shipping company is not taxed at all, but pays a so-called tonnage which equates to around 0,3 percent.

Joachim Holger Waldemar Christian pays 0 percent tax on the profits of his farm, as he is the brother of the king and exempt by law.

@randahl 50% sounds a bit high for income tax. Not even Finland has that high tax. Or do you include all other indirect taxes on products and services that person might get for his/her salary?

@randahl Ack. I think my total tax rate is probably similar as the Nordic countries don’t differ that much.

Trump's hush money trial has reached jury deliberation. For Trump to serve time in prison, the 12 person jury needs to agree

A. Trump had an affair with Stormy Daniels.

B. She was paid hush money by Trump.

C. Trump illegally wanted the payments to be presented as legal fees in his accounting records.

D. Trump did all this with the purpose of avoiding a scandal in the 2016 presidential election.

D is what makes it a felony. Following the trial, it seems to me the evidence is overwhelming.

@randahl Didn't the judge say that he would not put the orange ape in jail even if found guilty?

@randahl Ah, could be that I picked that information out of context then by mistake.

Late to the party but I just realised something: this is the first Zelda game I've ever bought... brand new.

@vampiress For me it was the first Zelda game ever.
