This is wonderful.

Thinking it wouldn’t be necessary if artists could still profit commercially from the success of our work.

But multi billion dollar corporations decided they’d like it all for free, thanks, to offer to the public for almost nothing.

I wonder how people would feel about organising a semi-regular ‘Turn Off The WiFi Day’? Not in a hippy-ish sense, but more in the sense of an angry consumer who wants to remind car and tech firms that I decide what I consume, and how, and when — not t’other way around.

I’m really loving @denialvibes.bsky.social’s Copacetic magazine. It’s like Max Power if Max Power were written by Walt Whitman. Delightful.

Worth a read. Dreadnought definitely marks a point where contemporary trends come together - and defined the modern battleship - but was it truly revolutionary?
