"I'm lucky because I no longer have to raise money on touring, which younger musicians are often forced to do. In that respect, Spotify is probably the worst thing that has happened to musicians. The streaming culture has changed an entire society and an entire generation of artists."

Today was the first day I've been out and about in Dundonald Belfast since Storm Éowyn. There are about 6 big mature trees down on the Upper Newtownards Road at Stormont. And another one down in Moat Park that has covered a lot of the Moat Park Fairy Trail. Old pic attached. #StormEowyn

I've just switched from IMDb to Letterboxd (because Bezos!) and see that Letterboxd has JustWatch integration built in. It shows where to rent films. See pic.

A friend sent me this image of a widget that came up on their iPhone asking me what it was. I've never seen it before. Looks like a weather related warning to me. They don't have any third party weather apps installed.
Has anyone seen this widget before? What's the app?

Got my first ever severe alert notification on iPhone. I had them turned off, but it came through on my iPhone and Apple Watch when I turned them on in Settings->Notifications.
The sound they play is dramatic 😬

You can now delete your Threads account without also zapping your Instagram account. That wasn’t the case before.
You can also Deactivate your account. This hides everything but leaves it there in the background in case you want to use it again in the future. See the picture with the options.
