Might be a smart move, but seriously what is an adult gay man doing fundraising for a major Republican?

Last week, 100+ gay peole were systematically shot by an ISIS Jihadist at a nightclub in Orlando. Our Democrat President failed to to prevent this terrorist attack. There were plenty of advanced warnings, but his FBI declared these warnings to be Islamaphobia. They determined this ISIS Jihadist was a victim, free to purchase any guns he wanted. And now, instead of blaming ISIS, the Demorat party is only blaming the RNC and the NRA. Now they're even redacting/editing the 911 transcripts to not implicate ISIS and Islam:

Pretty much guarantees that something similar will happen again. The DNC is good at protecting gay people from Christian pastry chefs who won't bake for them, but the DNC is very very bad at protecting gay people from slaughter by Islamic jihadists.

I remember the days when people listened to a thing called radio to hear music.  This might sound unfair to the whiney Reznor, but listeners didn't pay to hear the music being played then either.   The radio stations paid a small royalty to the music companies, which passed on almost none of those fees to the artists, who then, as now, made most of their money from live performances.  These days the radio station is called Youtube and it pays royalties to the record companies, again, most artists would sell very little of that.

Not much has really changed, except back in the days of radio, artist would generally do anything and everything in order to get their music played by radio stations and so be heard by the public.  Publicity was all and they would destroy and vandalise hotel rooms, drive cars into swimming pools, have affairs with supermodels and conspicuously consume drugs in order to garner publicity.  I never once heard of artists asking for their works to be taken off radio and to not be played.

I don't think Youtube is stopping any artists from making a good living if they are producing works the public likes.

Also it smart enough to differentiate your home and non-home at the end of trip. This is better than Android version in my opinion, it notifies automatically when you really park regardless you use a map gps, not only stop, and where - and automatically give you direction - shown directly in the lockscreen.

Apart from the lockscreen one, you have exactly described the Android version, personally I wouldn't want this information on the lockscreen, so how is it better?

I guess Apple hasn't paid enough to the DOJ/DNC, so they're retaliating.
