Sly Stone was a trailblazer who changed the course of music – and an icon of both hope and pain | Stevie Chick
With the Family Stone, Sly was so audacious it was hard to believe his brilliance could ever be exhausted – making his unravelling all the more painful to watch

I bade farewell to the peerless, fearless, thoughtful and thankful Sly Stone. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This has happened against my wishes, and I’m genuinely dismayed by it.
Not because people can’t disagree with my words, but because self-censorship driven by fear (Trump threatening to sue the BBC) should concern all of us. /3

Any outlet who continues to platform Farage is trying to tell you something about who they believe should be in charge. There is no excuse now.

Throwback Monday: when ZOOM gave me a fake digital moustache for an interview with King Gizzard, and would not let me remove it.
Numerous members of the band now sport moustaches: coincidence or causality?

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Only ever owned the Stone Roses' s/t on cassette a mate at school taped for me, really like the 60s popness of it but I was (and remain) too much of a grunge/hip-hop kid for it to sink too deep. But I Am The Resurrection is just a masterpiece, isn't it?

Was just uploading this morning’s breakfast soundtrack and this is what instagram suggested for the accompanying music. Absolutely fucking not.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Hail Mary looks great, absolutely the sort of movie I would see on a plane and adore, but omg the reworked Champagne Supernova on the soundtrack is like the sloppiest turd slipping into my bourbon on the rocks. No thank you.
