a couple of weeks ago I did something that people said needed vocals.
I asked Tony nicely.

at 105 bpm it more than meets the international standards to be categorised as a slow pumper

and someone said it sounded quite sleazy
Three Daughters featuring Tony Morris - Something for the Weekend (mastered)
This sounds a bit pompous but I will not be collaborating or sanctioning remixes for the next 12 months ie till October 2021. I want a complete break.

Scotland has a choice. We can be defined by fear or we can lead with compassion.

The vast majority of Scotland want to be a country that treats all people, regardless of where they were born, with dignity and respect.

We must say clearly that racist protests have no place here.
Immigration is a lifeline not a burden
In recent weeks across the UK we have seen hateful anti-immigration marches in the streets, with crowds chanting slogans like “send them home” or “stop the boats”.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

What happens when cruelty isn’t a byproduct of politics but the point itself? Enter Trump’s sadopopulism. Check out Jay Kuo's breakdown of this terrible ideology.
Sadopopulism and the Fascist MAGA Ethos
Trump’s policy is to inflict pain, even upon his own voters. But why does this work, and what will stop it?

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. 

That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

We are turning Earth into a unlivable Hot House Earth
Earth was about 2.65 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 1.47 degrees Celsius) warmer in 2024 than in the late 19th-century (1850-1900) preindustrial average.

The 10 most recent years are the warmest on record.

The White House was forced to react to South Park as Trump completely loses it with rage, calling the show “not relevant” and "hanging on by a thread," despite the show recently securing a $1.5 billion deal.

Trump is considering suing over ‘tiny penis’ allegations.
