Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary.
If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

Great seeing the mighty Datblygu being played
Datblygu - Gazpacho [Welsh, UK ; Minimal Synth / Experimental] (1993) The NME described them as "Kraftwerk with a hangover". From 'Libertino' EP .

ALBUM REVIEW: THE BUG VS GHOST DUBS – IMPLOSION - Joyzine
'Implosion' by The Bug Vs Ghost Dubs is not an album that sets out to reveal its secrets straight away as it is an album that sounds like the wandering ghost of another project haunting its creators.

Perfect. It’s a very astute observation about the “one song”. On Friday for me it was Daydreaming,for my brother is was Videotape, and for my niece it was inevitably Let Down

A very happy 83rd birthday to this wee yin, who would go on to become the Big Yin.
Billy Connolly let me know my voice, my accent, our stories, were worth hearing, worth telling, and worth listening to.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

Dear Bluesky,
www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners.
We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!
