Friedrich Merz, Germany's new chancellor: "The interference in the German elections by Elon Musk and Trump's Washington was no less radical and outrageous than that of Moscow." #GermanElections #CDU

Brilliant take on what’s going on. Most people I see voting the #fckafd have no connections to foreigners or economic concerns. It’s been a media 💩storm and I think I know who’s been feeding it. It’s more important than ever that #Merz takes the wind out of the #fckafd‘s sails from Day 1.

"No, we are not neutral, Frau Weidel - and your words only serve to confirm that I will do everything in my power to make sure you don't get your hands on power in this country" 🇩🇪likely next Chancellor Merz to AfD head in one of the punchier exchanges from yesterdays "Quadrell"

Trump administration is completely consolidating all federal power in the executive. Do you think they ever have any intention of giving that power up ever again? There won't be free and fair elections ever again because they can't allow that kind of power to change hands and be used against them.

Wrote a little review for VISIONS magazine about one of the best albums by the fabulous @lsdunes.bsky.social. Kaspar, the Rock Beardie, approves. Now - how to get tickets to their show when they’re all sold out and the local record co rep is a bit of a Fräulein?

I was interviewed about German politics this morning. Why would EM support the #fckafd when they are anti-American, was one of the questions asked. All these nerds and outcasts who were bullied getting their own back? Strength in numbers? Please enlighten me with your thoughts. Dankeschön.

Europe to the US oligarchs, especially Zuckerberg and Musk: "You can take your Nazi salute and 'masculine energy' and go back home. "

Well, at least the German weekly Die Zeit (and the Germans know a thing or two about the Nazis) seems to have made up its mind👇 (Gruß = salutation 👇)

When you were growing up, what did you imagine you would do if nazis invaded your country? That is probably still your best guide for what you ought to do now.

Serious question. Do you think Americans will get a chance to vote freely in three years and ten months?

I've been reading Adrian Edmondson's excellent autobiography Berserker!, and this observation on the writing process is something I think a lot of creatives will find highly relatable (in my case particularly the Fantasy Football bit).

This is your semi-regular reminder that Shirley Manson is an absolute ROCK GOD, and Garbage is a criminally underrated band.

Pearl Jam is threatening to cancel tickets sold above face value to its upcoming tour and is not happy with the TicketMaster dynamic pricing scheme or the secondary market. Once again, if folks had paid attention to what PJ was saying in the 90s, we wouldn't be in this boat.

Hello Bluesky Community- can anyone please help identify the origin of this beautiful wooden box I was gifted. Pakistan? India?

I’ve neglected this platform, including the #BookChallenge. Although I’m happy not being on twatter anymore, I find this platform less entertaining. Maybe it’s because I don’t spend enough time on it. Who knows? Who cares?

Musicians and artists deserve fair pay for our work! The current structure only benefits the huge companies that control the majority of the industry and leaves musicians with poverty-wage payouts, from streaming to live shows.

Day 8 - My former English teacher introduced me to Viv Albertine‘s memoir ‘Clothes..Music..Boys‘. “You have very similar writing styles.“ So I did, and soon found myself working with Viv‘s (also Sarah Waters‘s) first reader, Sally OJ, to help edit my memoir 💁🏻‍♀️ #MamaMusicandMe #amquerying
