Will the Beatles industry ever let it be?
I love the band. But this incessant anthologising, dismantling and rebuilding is straining things

The long and winding road: Stuart Maconie on why our opinions about the Beatles keep changing
Fans and historians have spent 60 years debating what the band means – and which member is greatest. Will the returning Anthology project and Sam Mendes’s planned biopics create new arguments?

Tired: Giving late prime players raises AND extensions

Wired: Letting late prime players walk when their contracts end

Inspired: Raise, no extension

Shop with small independents (like me) instead of the big high street names.

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.

Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

If you use Firefox, and weren't aware, there's now AI stuff baked in.

'Remove chatbot' gets rid of it, but no doubt it's lurking under the hood somewhere.

It's quite mad how the tech companies force this stuff on us when nobody has asked for it.

Exactly this

See people saying "Scientists need to rebuild trust" and my reaction is invariably "Ex-fucking-SCUSE me?!?"

Countless influential powers keep metaphorically urinating all over scientists and then we get told "You guys need to stop stinking of piss if you want to be taken seriously"??
I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Not the first time Donny's beaten off a old president.
Trump: My pollsters said, 'sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came back from the dead and they aligned and they went for the president, vice president as a combination, you'd be beating them by 25 points.'
