I've always found Miles difficult after he started exploring the newer sound . There's some magnificent things, but I'm stuck in bop and cool.

If you’re not following @marcuskolga.bsky.social and @disinfowatch.bsky.social, you don’t know what bad foreign actors are constantly feeding Canadian and US social media with fake “grassroots” news, cheerfully amplified by the gullible. #cdnpoli

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

We don't want any law enforcement from US with access to weapons here. Elise Stefanik has endorsed this. CBC had an article yesterday.

The little boy who never grew up - Lawyers, Guns & Money

Tom Friedman is writing Tom Friedman things this morning, about how if Donald Trump stays all focused and committed and immersed in the crucial details and the difficult diplomacy, and sees the current Gaza “peace plan” all the way through he should be given the Nobel Peace Prize, “or maybe even two.” Besides the screamingly […]

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

www.rickscott.senate.gov/services/fil...

Part of a letter sent by a bunch of GOP members of Congress in favor of granting Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won today.

The last three paragraphs, before Rick Scott and Marco Rubio's signature, reads:

The Maduro regime's abuses and assaults on the civil society and legitimate
political activity of Venezuelan citizens have caused millions to flee to other countries,
while millions more have had no choice but to remain in the prison Maduro has
imposed on them. The peace of the region has been greatly disturbed by Maduro’s
welcoming of some of the world’s worst actors, including terrorists and dictators who
support him.
It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado’s courageous and selfless
leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals,
make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only
highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and
expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual
bravery in the quest for justice.

I like this one too, although I now wish the ending was less shouty. I like how I sing the verses though. It's about the same person as the other song. The verses are from her imagined pov, the choruses from mine.

Trump is going to whine about this for the rest of his (short) life.

The fact that the winner is Venezuelan is just to rub salt into Trump’s fragile ego.

Certainly he does. But if they take all his actions as a whole, with what his administration is doing right now, he'll never be considered. Except at the Hague.
