He did this because he also knows CMAT should have won
Our huge, heartfelt thanks to Sam Fender, who’s donated his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to Music Venue Trust... after already making sure £1 from every ticket on his recent tour went to support grassroots music venues.

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi

I've been waiting 2 months for a tooth extraction referral. I got through to the referral previously but I was still waiting for a treatment plan from my orthodontist. The referral lady said she would cancel the referral while I waited for the treatment plan. "There's no wait list right now"

Listening to the new Mountain Goats and realizing Taylor Swift is much closer to this formally (for similar reasons) than any pop music. She really is a cult act, and not in an “every act is a cult act actually” way

Hey friendos,
Looking for an illustrator to do a cover image for the book I have been working on, paid of course. I have done several passes and am looking to get it uploaded, but I don't have the ability to do what I am looking for, and would sooner be caught dead using GenAI.
Please reach out!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

My Dad is a boomer and inculcated me with the common knowledge that Fleetwood Mac are bad
I'm not saying 'only people aged 47 to 55 think Fleetwood Mac are bad' - obviously people of all ages have different opinions. But only people in that v specific age group think that 'Fleetwood Mac are bad' is a common sense, commonplace opinion.

World's worst gotcha from Trevor Phillips: "If trans women are women why don't we just say 'women'... who needs 'pregnant people?'" 🤔
Great to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social on @skynewsrss.bsky.social this morning standing up for trans people.
It’s clear that Trevor Phillips was trying to trap Zack by not giving him all the facts! Martine Croxall not only eye rolled, she changed a direct quote - unethical for a journalist!
