#5albums70s2 @dark_shark Brian Eno - Another Green World (1975) A change in Eno's direction that sent him sailing in a direction away from the rocky coast and into deep uncharted waters. In the ambient pieces, you can hear pre-echoes of Low and Bush Of Ghosts. #NowPlaying

#5albums70s1 @thepattismith_fans Horses (1975) Wild and beautifully primitive. They seem unique and free. One foot in 60s garage and beat poetry and another stepping forward into the New Wave. A watershed 40 minutes. Best track - Free Money #Watusi #NowPlaying

It's been a terrible week. A terrible, terrible week. The worst people on earth are full of energy and vigour, the best are defined by anxiety and self-doubt. Here are three simple rules to surviving the next four years, because by God we'll need them iandunt.substack.com/p/a-little-b...

This terribly humiliating Farage business reminds me of that ancient proverb, “He who shall insert himself too deeply into the colon of another egomaniac for self-advancement must risk being shat out at very short notice”.

Here's Farage on #LauraKuenssberg calling Musk "a hero" whose endorsement made his party "look cool." Less than 3 hours later, Musk said he should be replaced.

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

It’s five years since Robbie Keane’s little lad decided to bin off mascot duty… and grab the glory instead. The celebration lasts a full 17 seconds. Sensational stuff.

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

In a recent.Origin Story episode we said that the best way to avoid extremism is to offer decent coverage of peaceful protests. Today's reporting is a very good example of how to do that. Shame we only really do it when it's the right on the street.
