Wow, do you think this “unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into Universal Music Group's vaults” will mention the time a UMG music vault burned down, destroying hundreds of thousands of master recordings, and the company covered it up?

One of the reasons it’s almost impossible not to admire Ben Stokes.

A cursory glance at a football crowd (or Championship team) / walk through a town centre would also suggest young people like getting skin fades as well.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti

Absolutely heartbreaking

Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption:

On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm
I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.

He's definitely a fan of Orange Juice and football (Three Lions) you have to give him that. I imagine both his and Badenoch's were workshopped, mainly by spads with an atypical, if not weird, relationship with music.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Really perceptive. Cameron's 'Nudge Unit' always seemed pretty specious, probably a consequence of what you identify here.

I think Labour's incumbency period in post-devolutionary Wales extending to a quarter of a century is an under appreciated factor as we head to May.

Hard not to see behaviour in office of eg Peter Kyle other than in light of latter.

And (re)read Jon Thompson, free of the alpha swagger that attached itself to his early 90s renaissance.

Getting rid of the 'See it, Say it, Sorted' announcements would improve the experience of rail travel overnight. And help with the perception that the UK is a highly dangerous place to live.
