Spotify is the lowest payer to artists. Their Ai band is raking it in. The CEO is investing in a software which will automatically determine who to kill (like, skynet for real). All contribute to real musicianships downfall, but isn't it time to find a slightly less sinister streamer? Like Deezer?

Hmm. Of course I like your lists. But: Spotify is the lowest payer to artists. Or the Ai band raking it in. The CEO is investing in a software which will automatically determine who to kill (like, skynet for real). Isn't it time to find a slightly less sinister streamer? Deezer?

After being in an iPhone since 1 I've just switched to a Nothing 3. The price, the fuzzy 'glass' which looks like it just needs a good wipe, the obsession of 'thinner'. Had enough.

London is a city state anyway, so is Manchester, and the Midlands could do with some identity lift. The UK is even an allmost identical outline than the old West-Germany - mirrored. Germany apparently did quite well as a republic, addressing a poorer North and richer South. Oh /3

We must act now: without a written constitution, Reform UK will have carte blanche to toxify our nation | Goerge Monbiot It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Why stop at the constitution? The UK is ideally shaped to be a republic, with Yorkshire, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall becoming the federal states they've been longing to be for such a long time. /2

Ein Foto von ihm. Man sieht sein Gesicht, er schaut direkt in die Kamera und hat eine Hand ans Kinn gelegt.

STEWART: β€œComedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwetherβ€” we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.

The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.

That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

Suggestion for Banksy's next piece, pose the figures so when they are scrubbed away it magically spells out BUM or something.
