Starmer's ability to find the exact sweetspot which pisses off everyone is extraordinary. He's a savant.

It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.

Unpopular opinion - Sinners is an important film in many aspects but also a massively overrated Luhrmanesque quasi-musical mess. I’ve tried in cinema & at home but just can’t. Every single word of this though, clearly and powerfully expressed.

OK, the Gorton and Denton by-election, I have some thoughts!

Let's take a look at some of the FACTS and burst a few of the more ridiculous takes doing the rounds

But first up, can we acknowledge just what bad losers Reform are?!🤣

Right, let's get started...

The last time the US removed an Iranian head of government was when they overthrew the democratically elected Mosaddegh Govt in 1953, because that Gov nationalised their oil.

ROY is quality, don’t sleep.

21st-century Western geopolitics is just one big racism competition.

jesus fucking christ, that PR line is literally whats being pushed by extremist, pro-atrocity accounts on twitter.

again, what the FUCK is going on inside NZ newsrooms?? Are they all just completely radicalised? Something has to give, or someone has to speak out and pull the curtain aside on this.

Not in disagreement I’ve run a label etc I understand. But your 100 LP & their 1000 plays are arbitrary figures plucked from the air. Has their policy stopped piracy/AI fakery? No it’s increased. A bit of lint on 999 plays is a better rate than Spotify before even considering war tech investment.

Israel is assassinating Iran’s leadership with breathtaking accuracy.

Please reflect on that when you recollect that they dropped 2,000 pound bunker buster bombs on refugee camps in Gaza.

Proof that it was indeed a genocide.

Fair enough John but that 1000 plays IS the point, it excludes so many & what should be paid to them goes to others, already more successful. I know I lose ears & money by not being there, what choice do I have? It’s ubiquitous. Appreciate Qobuz’s standards but plse don’t minimise Spotifys duplicity

Burning Spear (Winston Rodney) *March 1, 1945

BURNING SPEAR - The Invasion + Black Wa-Da-Da
youtu.be/FEq0sLluCwk?...

7" of Burning Spear - Slavery Days on Fox label. Released in 1975. Produced by Lawrence 'Jack Ruby' Lindo.

Happy 81st birthday to living legend Burning Spear.

It's over 50 years since he recorded this 7". Rupert Willington and Delroy Hinds' chanted refrain underpin Spear's passionate lead.

It remains a roots reggae classic. ❤️💛💚

Only America could launch a preemptive strike against a sovereign state, and then run crying to all its kowtowed allies because said state retaliated.

This is America all over, ever the bully until someone fights back.

‘better royalty rate’ is lifting a lot of weight for Spotify who don’t pay anything to the vast majority of artists. That is no royalty rate. That is theft. I know you know this don’t understand why you didn’t write it.

They don’t have a long term plan for Minneapolis much less Iran

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

Dearest people who don’t read or remember history:

The reason Iran is ruled by Ayatollahs now is because the U.S. overthrew the democratically-elected Iranian President in 1953 to help American oil interests.

Iranian Red Crescent says its headquarters in Tehran was targeted in an Israeli strike.

We only have 14 days of fossil fuel storage at any given time. We are 14 days from shit going nuclear causing a massive energy shock. So about that LNG Terminal? Maybe not. How about those Solar Panels, Batteries, and better utilisation of our Geothermal? I think that would be prudent.
