Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,
"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"
"Aside from presenting Match of the Day.."
"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

“This is America”
Sometime between the fall of 1963 and the late summer of 1964, the actor and photographer Dennis Hopper stopped at an intersection in L.A., took out his Nikon, and made history.

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

In the Finnish artist Iiu Susiraja’s photographs, fat stigma is toyed with, embodied, and satirized.
Iiu Susiraja’s Self-Portraits Are More Than a Dare
The photographer uses her own body without straightforward interest in either masochism or self-love.

In an era when producers would throw the kitchen sink at records - whenever i listen back to Drum Club stuff, they have such a clarity with their records and remixes that still sound excellent when others from that time can sound messy

Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.
What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

This is super interesting. It's a demo of a communication protocol called GibberLink, based on the ggwave data-over-sound encoding. It allows faster auditory exchange between two artificial agents.

Fascinating 1970 film on Islington: Residents speak of poverty, poor housing, racial tensions & fears of immigration, sound familiar? They fought for diversity. Now, Islington rejects anti-immigrant politics but is smeared by the Right. So much to learn from this.
