Professor Scott Galloway is right

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

I love music, but I hate dancing. It's so embarrassing. There's always so much pressure to dance at social occasions. I've tried to dance like no one is watching, feel the rain on my skin etc but I can't, I hate it and I hope I never have to do it again.

Imagine President Harris taking $10 trillion out of the global stock markets in the first 80 days of her residency what the Fox News people would be doing right now!!!!

Tony Benn was born 100 years ago today. A hero of mine, he was steeped in the English radical tradition while maintaining an internationalist outlook. As we struggle to defend democracy against those who seek to avoid accountability, his five questions to ask the powerful are worth remembering

This is a *very* good thread. Clarifies some really tricky issues. Not least why some English politicians insist that they cannot actually be English.

@willmac23.bsky.social Broken Veil is brilliant. I’ve only heard the first episode so far but I think you’ll find it’s Blue Jam meets The Parapod. And it made me want to go on a fan visit to a roundabout.

This is a brilliantly written, presented and produced podcast that intersects with the current terrors over data as power, the end of privacy, AI, manosphere… Depressing but utterly essential. Brilliant work from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

The #LibGen thing is grim (all my books are in there) but it only doubles my determination to keep writing. Creativity as an act of resistance.

The best application of AI is to use it to identify and filter out AI generated content.

JD Vance. Impressive. It comes to something when you're sat right next to Donald Trump but you come across as the bigger twat.

Incredible. 😂 Whatever happens with the current global batshittery, at least we have @theonion.com

A brilliant, brilliant piece. Forever Changes is an ageless masterpiece that moulds to the dark times.

This is corporate doublespeak of the highest order. And do the advertisers really think anyone dutifully sits there and watches the ads? Presumably most people just lower the volume and look at something on their phone. Or stare at the floor.

‘Free speech at all costs! Er, unless we don’t like what’s being said.’

Also, this whole premise rests on him encountering people who are simultaneously savvy enough to con the government out of an entire house by feigning homelessness, but so clueless as to immediately spill the beans about the whole thing when casually asked by some random berk Seems... unlikely?

Attention - people who say ‘double-u, double-u, double-u, dot…’ before a website address. You don’t need to do that.

I suppose air traffic control is woke now?

Tiny bit of irony here, no? #ai

@chartmusictotp.bsky.social I’m going to miss him so badly when the Oasis fuckshow begins this summer.

Yep.

In that familiar old incompetence I haven't missed, Trump's executive order defines sex as what a person is at CONCEPTION. Fetal sex doesn't begin to differentiate until about 7 weeks into gestation. Which means Donald used the highest office in the land to declare all Americans legally female.

Watching the Traitors just reinforces that we really need to work on a good jury selection process.

A glorious tribute. ‘He had no precedents, only imitators. And now we’re living in a post-Lynch world.’

RIP David Lynch. Weird and always wonderful. #davidlynch youtu.be/F4wh_mc8hRE?...

Writers, musicians, actors & other creators strongly oppose upending copyright law to favour AI companies, as suggested in the UK's AI Opportunities Action Plan. As Kate Mosse says, seeking economic growth "cannot be on the basis of theft of our work". www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Ohhhh this film! It broke my heart about eight times but also made me cry with joy. There is so much in it: trauma, resilience, triumph, agony, our place in nature. Harry Turner is a total fucking marvel. (Watch it on Amazon Prime). #wildcat

Ok. Double figures for January. Only 47 days to go.

Hollywood is on fire , yet still deniers clutch at straws to blame this on anything other than the real problem– climate breakdown . I’m petitioning for a ban on fossil fuel ads to take the fight to the companies who continue to exploit our fragile planet petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Trump at Jimmy Carter’s funeral looks like a twelve-year-old on a Mediterranean holiday forced to listen to the tour guide at a ruined monastery. #jimmycarter
