I spend an awful lot of time thinking about this moment in the history of King Crimson and it's transformative implications for our understanding of authorship. There's a straight line from here to me seeing my audience as co-creators of my work.
![Screenshot of the following text from Wikipedia
"Bruford spent the entirety of "Trio" with his drumsticks crossed over his chest, waiting for the right moment to join in, but eventually realized that the piece was progressing better without him. His decision not to add any percussion was seen by the rest of the band as a crucial choice, and so he received co-writing credit.[8] "Trio" was later included on the 1975 compilation album A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson, the performance credits of which cite Bruford's contribution to the piece as "admirable restraint."[9]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7z2wmq7xoqez7ltguk7tcfzk/bafkreicnjlblxrbdkgee4lif5k2rkaqp5fg5rp3wx2knkqwh3qxzdtlxoi@jpeg)

the supreme courts judgement - although based on brainworm legal logic that ignored express statue in favour of a novel concept - specifically said it was tightly confined, and then a few months later, this… it doesn’t need to happen and it’s very depressing.

It's worth noting that the Government has a massive majority and could fix this in an instant with a one-line piece of legislation. It doesn't want to.

Your reminder that Brianna found comfort, community and support online, and was murdered by transphobes in a park. But it's phones which are the problem.
On Brianna's 19th birthday, this morning I joined @cheshirepcc.bsky.social and the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project Phone Free Education campaign at the launch at Jodrell Bank of a new £150k initiative to make Cheshire the first county in the UK where ALL state high schools have lockable phone pouches.

Cruelty really is the point. Who else would go to court begging for permission to starve their own citizens? Meanwhile, they send $40 billion to Argentina, buying two private jets for ICE “Barbie,” and Trump has already burned through $1 trillion in less than two months.

Do you know what? It IS working. It hasn't caused tailbacks, quite the opposite actually. More importantly it's saved the lives of at least a dozen kids. Reform are actually campaigning for the return of more deaths and injuries. Absolutely bonkers.

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳
It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!
