You can pick any album from Stevie's classic period and give it GOAT status, but Innervisions just feels special for so many different reasons.
We're rewinding the clock back to the 1970s and celebrating the decade's greatest albums including Stevie Wonder's 'Innervisions' (1973) | Listen to the album + explore our tribute here: album.ink/SWInnervisions

Bob Dylan, Idiot Wind. The best vision of the last 45 yrs of "'merica". Listen to the lyrics! No one else captured our essence so clearly and substatially. It is about media and its impact. He might as well have been singing about Meta, X, or any other.

The ‘where are they now?’ chaser to Farage’s schoolboy racism..
“He inspired the country on a tide of xenophobia to leave the EU, a decision that most of the country regrets or outright hates, and.. went abroad to get a standing ovation from the German far right”

I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations | Musa Okwonga
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

#RecipeOfTheDay is a lasagne-ish bake consisting of a pile-up of soft tortillas with, in between them, a riotous assembly of tomato, red pepper, onion, chilli, corn and cheese – which is why, indeed, I have decided to call it Tortilla Lasagne! www.nigella.com/recipes/tort...
Tortilla Lasagne
Many of you might have noticed this recipe has had a name-change: somewhat lazily, and definitely erroneously, I’ve always called it “Mexican Lasagne”; I’m far happier with its new name, Tortilla Lasa...

If BBC News was a hotbed of left-wing wokery producing *systemically* biased coverage Jeremy Corbyn may well have been elected Prime Minister in 2019.

It’s not. He wasn’t.

And we got Boris Johnson instead.

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

That WW2 veteran who says that winning the war "wasn't worth it" for the state we are now in is just plain wrong.

Naziism was an evil that caused the deaths of millions and the systematic murder of millions more. Defeating it was necessary.

We need to stop treating every old person as a holy sage.

Not sure why anyone other than deeply dismal politicians and useful right wing idiots and ghouls would still be on X. It’s not a town square where people are engaging in good faith. It’s a dangerous radicalisation machine that seeks to upend our democracy and - in the US - has already shown it can.

Public humiliation of a man who had voted No in the 1933 referendum on Germany's withdrawal from the League of Nations. The uniformed men are SS members. The placard slogan reads: "I voted No. I am a traitor to the people!" From the Topography of Terror exhibition in Berlin.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

The Labour Party continue to think that where they're going wrong is that they need to move more to the Right in order to chase voters, when in actual fact we just want them to actually fucking stand for something, mean it, be consistent and grow a damn backbone.

The image here says "64% of independent adult hospices reported a financial deficit in 2023-24."
Government doesn't know how reliant it is on independent adult hospices for the provision of palliative and end-of-life care.

With more people dying in England each year, the sustainability of independent hospices is of national importance.

I know the Tory party is a rancid rotting carcass of a party but, Christ, surely we’re all beyond sick of them now. This lot won’t get back into power but they can’t even manage to be a responsible opposition.
They’re just so grimly dismal, racist and thick.
They reek of inadequacy.
Just go TF away.

Jenrick casting 1980s British football hooliganism as something that was easily dealt with by police and not an era defining issue which we're still living with the consequences of today... He's genuinely the most unserious person in British politics rn
