You can't separate the art from the artist when they're still alive because they're still benefiting from the financial leverage, access to platform and power through influence that art provides.

Greens look set to clean up as Labour switchers move left
Labour voters liked the insurgent party even before the arrival of their new leader. As local elections approach, Zack Polanski appears ready to break through in the areas Keir Starmer neglected

Trump wants to retain hegemony of US capital.
Tariffs shield US capital from competition.
Wants disintegration of the EU, supports far-right parties. Elon Musk wanted to hand $100m to Reform.
Up to 500% tariffs on BRICS countries to prevent their rise and possibilities of a multi-polar world.

Donald Trump’s imperialism is the latest tool to advance the hegemony of US capital
Trump's policies are not isolationism. They're seeking to thwart the emergence of a multipolar world.

Trying to edit a passage on chapter 6 where one of the main characters goes into a pub. For no particular reason, my brain is determined to over describe the setting. Dont get me wrong, I'm a girl who likes the scene set, but this is not working. Argggggggh!

Re-reading/editing the first six chapters of my WIP #BrookbankCottage I'm really loving the main character. She's not innocent, yet I can't help but root for her despite her using a social media controversy to try & promote herself. Will she make it to the last chapter?

With that haircut, it's always been a mystery to me why Patrick Swayze was a sex symbol. But he had that magical 'IT' quality. Everyone in that room would have given their right leg to dance with him like this😉
Ahhh the 80's, the age of Dirty Dancing and the Lambada. The decade of sex in a leotard.
