I know RUK ignores NI, but surely there should be more public horror and indignation about the fact that not 6 months ago part of the UK saw a pogrom that drove an ethnic group (the Roma) out of a sizeable town
Ballymena riots six months on: fear, formidable obstacles and official silence

1963: The Big Freeze on BBC Four is fascinating.
"When electricity failed, everyone turned to gas." Brits could transmute at will, back then, when we were a proper country.

Worth noting this for other Tidal users -- while they pay most artists better royalties than Spotify, they don't pay people on that "uploads" thing they're pushing at all. So if you see some band in the uploads section you want to check out, go to their bandcamp instead.
Ah. OK. Just looked further and discovered both why they're pushing them and why they're likely *not* AI... they don't pay royalties on "uploads"
TIDAL Upload
Upload is currently available to all users ages 18 and up in the United States, United Kingdom, European Economic Area, and Switzerland. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version to acces...

Very pleased to see Marseille lost at home to relegation-threatened Nantes today. Very important they don't win the title, or indeed anything, while Greenwood is there.

Watched Beatles Anthology for the first time and it’s basically 8 hours of this:
PAUL: We all really wanted to do [Thing], everybody was totally into it, by which I mean us, the lads, the four Beatles. That’s what was great about The Beatles, all of us working together on things we wanted to do.

‘you’re only allowed to talk or think about one single bad thing if it’s happening or you’re complicit’ also feels like it’s in opposition to critical thought. genuine belief that brain only has one channel and that thinking and posting is praxis

what people perceive as rightwing anti-intellectualism and anti-expertise trends are 100% seeping into the overly-online-left in the form of whatever this is and the related ‘if stories are about a topic or character they are endorsing that and if you try to analyze it you are also endorsing it”
