I found 2024 incredibly frustrating. Because I (and lots of other people) kept explaining that the fiscal position of all parties was literally impossible but broadcast (in particular) was never willing to go that far.
The fact that in both 2019 and 2024, the winning party did so with a set of manifesto promises that could not be kept and dissolved upon contact with actual office is something that as an industry we should be much more bothered by than we are.

For the first time, a US politician used the platform of the oval office to call out Israeli genocide and US complicity in that genocide, and centrists are confused about why folks have more grace for him than they do for someone who enthusiastically and materially supported that genocide.

I haven't listened to Anthology 4 yet, but I'm not a massive fan of the new version of ‘Real Love’.
I think there was something to the sort of ethereal nature of the tape recording of John’s voice that added to the magic of that song’s existence.
But I'm excited to check out the rest.

It seems so obvious that while all the racists would hate for us to go back, the economic boom of rejoining would actually make people less racist.

This is absolutely ridiculous.
It’d be like if the department of health did something stupid and counter intuitive like suggest that vaccines are bad or that it’s actually normal to get measles in 2025.
And we all know THAT wouldn’t happen!

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
