Remembering Roy Reid aka I Roy who was born on this day in 1944. I Roy toasted on countless records in the 1970s. He covered all bases from righteousness to ribaldry. Here's one of the former on top of Junior Byles' Fade Away... youtu.be/44trL8kk3_Y?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #musicsky

Why is Rod Stewart making Glastonbury political? Artists should just shut up and perform

#ArtHistory 🗃️ 🐡 #Barcelona If you admire Antonio Gaudi like I do, you'll enjoy this short video showcasing the brand new restoration of Casa Batllo's rear facade and garden. It looks amazing.

Don’t know what is going on in Kuku but their flag game is the strongest. Respect!✊

The world is generally full of far too many "journeys", and has been for some time. Years ago when I used to pitch books to publishers and I was asked "Ok but what's the *journey*?" it reliably made me want to projectile vomit. And is one of the reasons I write the anti-journey books I write now.

Comment: Treating economic statistics as news is like caring about a bingo caller predicting which number is coming next, writes Rob Campbell.

For a lot of reasons, Substack should not be the go-to place for those seeking to build a newsletter audience. I hear good things about buttondown, I am on ghost myself. But re Substack’s problems & dangers, this analysis is pretty spot on IMO

Brutal.

See also Ronald McDonald house. Costs them basically nothing and they get to put their name on the best PR ever and have their customers pay for it.

Incredibly important reporting on Alex’s story - Farrier has linked actions points for complaints here. Hoping plenty of cis folks will be loudly complaining. #nzpol

These Ministers aren’t fixing the housing crisis they’re cashing it in. Selling off state land while our people sleep in cars isn’t policy. It’s a political hit job on vulnerable whānau. You don’t build homes by gutting the agency that builds them. #HousingCrisis #TePātiMāori #NZPol

neilhwilliams 2m Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Orgreave 18/06/84. Hundreds of miners clashed with police, in what became one of the most controversial flashpoints in modern British industrial history. There was later evidence of police misconduct and political orchestration. #peterloo

Publishers don’t pay for nonfiction books to be fact-checked, the author does out of their advance.

The RSB will mean that if NZ tries to cancel seabed mining contracts, mining, private developers on flood plains (thx Chris Bishop) & very expensive health privatisation contracts - taxpayers are on the hook for significant damages. Please consider submitting before it's too late. #nzpol #kiwi

my Tribune review of Liz Pelly’s Mood Machine now free to read. Is Spotify evil? Yes! But is this also very convenient cover for the three major labels consolidating power and sucking money out of the industry? Yes!

Hey #nzpol , does this seem (RSB) familiar? "And the real point of DOGE is not to save American taxpayers money. It’s a fundamental re-writing of the social contract, the relationship of US citizens to the state, and the state to private enterprise." open.substack.com/pub/broligar...?
