In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

We love Lionel Richie…but for less than the cost of a ticket to see him live (even the cheap seats!), you could spend three full days at Supersonic Festival — discovering cutting-edge, independent new music. That’s pretty wild Support independent artists and organisations doing things differently.

That about wraps it up for the sun at @trentbridge.co.uk

I don't read reviews because my brain just can't deal with them, but I like this photo and I very much appreciate LeftLion, Nigel and Michael for giving me my first coverage in the Nottingham music press!

With a line-up boasting everyone from local bands to global names, Dot to Dot Festival is always a special time for Nottingham. Here are our highlights from a very exciting, slightly exhausting day, featuring stunning pics from @nigelking.photography… thenottsreview.substack.com/p/review-dot...

On this day in 1986, My Dog Has No Nose played their 1st ever gig at Knightthorpe Lodge, Loughborough. So that makes today our 39th birthday! How should we celebrate our 40th next year? Any suggestions considered ... Press cutting from The Loughborough Echo, May 9th 1986 provided by @nigelking.net 🙏

Happy #EuropeDay Everyone

Some great shots from @nigelking.net for Jacquline's set at The Grove! Tunes like ‘Bigger Person’ and ‘Desdemona’ were given an extra level of energy inside the packed venue, with Jacquline’s vocals proving just as impressive in real life as they are on Spotify 🤠

It was good to unroll our #TeslaTakedown banner - seen in pics- at the Nottingham protest to the transphobic attacks following the UK Supreme Court decision this week. Over 500 protesting in a wonderful display of solidarity and opposed to hate. Thanks to @nigelking.net for pic of our banner

Very happy to note that it is 10 years today since one of my photos first appeared on the @leftlion.bsky.social Magazine Nottingham website. It was LoneLady at The @bodeganotts.bsky.social . It wasn't until later in the year that I became a regular contributor though. #GigPhotography
