You never hear athletes express gratitude for gravity, without which their precious "foot ball" would just float away. The entitlement is frankly disgusting

This entire disgusting situation with Arday has shown the horrible priorities of a society built for the ruling class. Our press isn't free, and it is used solely and exclusively to pursue the interests of the ruling class which owns it.

An interview with Mojave 3
As the band reissues their full catalogue, Rachel Goswell reflects on her time in Mojave 3, how they formed out of the ashes of Slowdive, and why she won't be writing the next great rock memoir.

Misinformation is rife on social media and plays a key role in fuelling racist abuse, violence and even riots
But the way we regulate it is - bluntly - rubbish
In the second part of my look at social media regulation, I focus on our flawed approach to misinformation and how we might improve it:

How do you solve a problem like social media? Part II - misinformation
Misinformation and disinformation are among the worst online scourges, with huge real-world impacts. Why are our regulations so weak? And are there risks in making them stronger?

Just over five years ago we put out an expanded reissue of Sennen’s debut album ‘Widows’. The passage of time, and a great remastering job by @slowdiveofficial.bsky.social’s Simon Scott allowed for a reappraisal of this album, which some called “one of the best shoegaze records of all time”.
