In a world of absolute wankers, it‘s refreshing to hear widespread love for a man who – it seemed – improved the lives of everyone he met. RIP Mani.
We were shocked and gutted to hear of the death of Mani, bass legend from Stone Roses and Primal Scream.
In a special tribute, @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social talks to @johnrobbofficial.bsky.social about why the world loved Mani and how he changed British music #RIPMani x

This document is the product of a broken administration, motivated by cynicism, immune to human decency, with a weak-to-non-existent understanding of the policy area they wish to legislate in.
And that's it. Overall impressions are
- there's still a surprising lack of detail
- lots of new work for officials but unlikely to lead to much change on the ground
- refugees will still live here rest of their lives but will struggle even more than before to integrate

Peeps in the southern half of Australia - we could be in for an aurora tonight. Fingers crossed.
In fact, the next two nights are shaping up to be excellent. No promises though.
Point your camera south after dark and try a long exposure shot.

“Science is never settled” sounds reasonable—but it’s often a rhetorical trick to undermine consensus on issues like vaccines or climate change.
Science evolves, but some things are overwhelmingly supported by evidence.
