i challenge you to post one optimistic take or belief today on bluesky

Oli Dugmore calls out Suella Braverman’s dog-whistling.
She then squirms and evades when asked FIVE times if she really thinks you can only be English if you’re white.
Oli Dugmore has the perfect response to her incoherent absurdity: Ian Wright and Bukayo Saka. 🔥

Suella Braverman, trying to flog her book, says she’s not English (implying nor are any brown/black people).
She’s then asked SIX times to clarify what makes someone ‘English’ and she can’t answer.
She’s a racist’s dream.
How on earth was this dangerous fool Home Secretary? Twice. #bbcqt

New mixes are copyrightable. The copyright to the Beatles recordings starts running out in the UK/EEA in 2033. But if they can make the new versions the defaults, they can collect royalties on the new mixes for another seventy years.

Of the 14 songs that broke the same record "Choosin' Texas" just broke, nine of them were this century and six were in the last decade. Is a hit song still a hit if it climbs to the top of streaming charts and gets algorithmically stuck there for sixth months?

I am a barrister who once spent time seconded to the CPS serious crimes unit making charging decisions.
Today, you can pretend to be one too and work through the decision-making framework in a very serious case.
The police have multiple suspects in custody and the phone just rang.

The one thing I'll never understand about Germans and Brits, being something of a hybrid, is how the Brits with their affinity for quaint little clubs do the swinging thing next to motorways, and Germans with their affinity for motorways do their swinging in quaint little clubs.

Fergal Keane, ex BBC: ‘I reported on all the Garvaghy Road disputes through the Nineties and the associated deaths and destruction. Also reported on the first banned parade in Portadown in 1985. Terrible times. It’s incomprehensible that we could be heading back there.’
