Spotify Executive Chris Bevington Dies In Stockholm Attack (variety.com)

"On Friday, four people were killed and about 15 more were injured when a truck plowed through a shopping area in the heart of Sweden's capital," reports Variety. One of the four victims was Chris Bevington, an executive at Spotify. An anonymous reader writes: "The British 41-year-old had served as Spotify's director of global partnerships/business development, working from Stockholm," reports Variety. The streaming service's founder, Daniel Ek, confirmed the news with a Facebook post on Sunday. "Chris has been a member of our band for over five years. He has had a great impact on not just the business but on everyone who had the privilege to know and work with him. There are no words for how missed he will be or for how sad we all are to have lost him like this."

    Sweden is a runner-up for rapes per capita, fighting with Botswana for the second spot (after South Africa).

    Really messes with a statistics if you have a country like Sweden classify consensual sex, with non-consensual condom disappearance, as rape.

    They should just call it the Assange sexual offense.

    Wait, Assange apologists still exist? I though you guys had given up when he lied about surrendering if Obama granted clemency to Manning.
