And was also fun to get stuck into the story and history of bassline and how it's gone from a genre that police once outlawed to a celebratory and family-friendly part of Bradford City of Culture.

‘It’s a northern sound, it gives you hope that it can happen to you’: how bassline bounced back
Once maligned as a scene marred by violence, bassline is booming once again thanks to pioneers such as Big Ang, Jamie Duggan and a T2 track that changed everything

you know I wouldn't say I had high hopes for "the Spectator interviews the Tate brothers" anyway but somehow the piece is worse than I thought it would be

Cannot find a better hit of pure cringe than British comedy DVDs from about fifteen years ago. This has got a really rough start where ten minutes in Whitehall reverts to a Russell Howard rip-off somehow more agonising than the real thing

I feel like i'm losing my mind. Feels like "Pulse" (2001 J-horror) where isolated internet users start dissolving IRL.

ChatGPT triggers paranoid episode in a tech VC.

@ryanhatesthis.bsky.social clocks that ChatGPT is just cribbing from a communal fan fic proj.

my Tribune review of Liz Pelly’s Mood Machine now free to read. Is Spotify evil? Yes! But is this also very convenient cover for the three major labels consolidating power and sucking money out of the industry? Yes!

The Swedish tech giant has rigged the music industry against artists, mined listeners for data, and made music boring for everyone. Or is that just what the major recording labels want you to believe?

wish they'd done this back when eric dier was trying to force culture onto harry kane and matt doherty www.nytimes.com/athletic/346...
“Eric has put on some horrendous ones,” Doherty says. “Uncut Gems, Mad Max… H and I rated that really low. We wouldn’t recommend you see that.” Dier isn’t willing to take that lying down: “I think H would agree with me that Matt’s movie recommendations have definitely been the worst.” Friday night will see the trio watching a movie all together in person for the first time since before the Aston Villa game in April, when an injury to Doherty ended his season. After that he still watched the films but had to do so separately, and they called a hiatus on their sessions during pre-season. Their last iteration of film club as a trio brings back bad memories for Doherty. An omen perhaps for the following day’s cruel injury blow at Villa. “I picked Mystic River on that occasion, but they really didn’t enjoy it,” he says. “I’d seen it a few times, and thought they’d like it. And when we looked it up, we found out that Sean Penn got an Oscar for it.”

A friend who is a trans woman and who plays women’s football received an email from the FA about the decision which contains this paragraph.

Free therapy to cope with the fact you’ve been transphobic bigots, fucking brilliant.

Jack Kinney’s Get Rich Quick (1951) is an urbane parable about the perils of gambling that also presents it as the coolest thing you could possibly be doing with your money

'Starmer’s approach to government... has its own historical occasion and character... an attempt to develop a more effective form of crisis management for a nation in decline'

Great to have Oliver Eagleton back in the @newstatesman.com today: www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...
Keir Starmer’s hollow state
Labour’s planned welfare cuts are further evidence of a government running scared from two political foes: the City and Nigel Farage.
