Given the rate of inflation, ยฃ5.50 is a real-time reduction.

But it is entirely optional.

I never watch broadcast TV, the only reason I pay the licence is because the Tory/Reform/BNP party want to get rid of it.

Palestine Action protesters not guilty of defence firm burglary The group are cleared of aggravated burglary over the alleged raid at an Elbit Systems warehouse.

Pleased to see the jury make this decision.

We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries.

People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover.

Labour expects to lose by-election after Andy Burnham blocked Insiders say Sir Keir Starmer chose between a likely defeat in Gorton & Denton and the greater risk of losing control of the Greater Manchester mayoralty

And there we have it.

The Government are admitting Gorton & Denton is between the Green Party and Reform.

Let's make sure hope wins.

"Sophie Taeuber-Arp used many mediums to explore her work. A skilled embroiderer and textile artist, beginning in 1915 she made a series of works titled Vertical-Horizontal Composition, in which she sought to bring the grid-like structure of embroidery to 2D art forms. This piece is a natural extension of the exploration โ€“ the same bold, abstract pattern used in her drawings and paintings, artfully embroidered in wool on canvas." - Tate Modern

Started writing a bucket list, things I want to do before I die.

Mainly inspired by watching my aunt slip away into dementia.

I always thought it was a pop-therapy way if living your life. But I think Iโ€™d have written a very similar list in my twenties, and checked off nothing by now.

John Foxx - Wherever You Are Listen to Wherever You Are on TIDAL

This is a lovely album. I find it fascinating that enigmatic, mystical, and meditative music often sounds like itโ€™s echoing around a cathedral; even when itโ€™s not overtly religious.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But Iโ€™m 43 now and Iโ€™m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. Iโ€™m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

If your rights are being shredded, your citizenship endangered, if you're attending protests and being gassed or threatened, people calling your life/experience a distraction fucking sucks, actually.

Be kind. These are lives. Talk about issues like somebody else's existence might be on the line.

I have noticed a disturbing number of calls for violence against ICE agents. One word:

DON'T!

Around the world, dictators WANT violence because it provides cover for them to launch massive militarized retaliation. Dictators even stage false-flag operations to provide themselves with an excuse.

Just listened to Blackstar again. Itโ€™s still an astounding album. Confident, tight, and self-aware.

His death made it poignant, but it felt exceptionally mature on the day of release.
