Nonentities made a habit of not liking Spirit Of Eden. J.D. Considine. The aptly-named Marcus Berkmann. All the non-greats.

See, this is the thing. Unless you whinge about politics, or swoon nostalgically over white indie guitar music or children's TV from 30-40 years ago, or rave over science fiction and/or comics, or post pictures, there isn't much left to talk about in Bluesky, is there?

FIP now playing K*d R*ck and not noticeably playing Bad Bunny. Do you really want to reside on THAT side of history or are you Vichy nostalgics?

In seventies Uddingston they were already doing this so it's (a) nothing new; (b) one of many reasons why I got the hell out of there when I could and did.
🔴NEW: Books are being removed or restricted in Scottish school libraries following complaints, creating a “chilling effect” that campaigners warn threatens both freedom of speech and inclusive education.

Oh noes an internet radio station is asking for donations while advertising itself as playing "real music." I despise Real Music with capital letters and/or within inverted commas so they won't be getting any money from me. Their idea of "real music" btw is Frank Sidebottom and Chas & Dave.

Then Every Breath You Take came out and suddenly it didn't.
This is Men At Work's second album Cargo - the one with less well remembered Overkill and even less well remembered Dr. Heckyll And Mr. Jive on it - and without wanting to be rude about that cover, you do have to wonder if they even wanted it to sell...

The Guardian, eh? Yesterday someone argued that the phrase "thank you" should be banned, today it's Streeting saying who's this Mandyson guy, I never even seen him in my life and SDP Grandma whining about Real Issues. The newspaper that killed the Labour Party. Hope they're happy about that.

Puritanism and fascism; two sides of a particularly deadly coin.
starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj
