The best review/obituary of Brian Wilson’s music and career that I’ve read so far. Thank you Alexis Petridis 🤗

Whether wistful or euphoric, Brian Wilson made pop’s most overwhelmingly beautiful music
He was the Beach Boys’ resident genius, seeping melancholy into even peppy teenybopper hits. Beyond all the myths about his life, that brilliance is still intoxicating

This Nazi anthem is going viral and inspiring global dance parties of hate. Meta and X aren’t stopping it. Let’s force them to follow their own rules and act. action.eko.org/a/instagram-...
Stop Instagram's Hitler Dance Party
I just watched Ye’s new music video and I feel sick to my stomach. As a Jew and a mother I can’t believe this garbage is going viral. It’s a dark room of people singing Heil Hitler over and over again

This is excellent writing & reporting. The US, the UK, Australia next? – already things in the Death Cult playlist are happening in Australian legislation.

But George! You have not had a futile career! You are an inspiration. Thank you 🥰

This new legislation is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems in living memory.

It’s a cast-iron relationship: the more unequal a society becomes, the better the far right does. Here’s why.

Move over, humans—beavers are saving the day! In a remarkable twist, these natural engineers have completed the dams needed to protect the Klabava River south of Prague, a project that had been stalled since 2018 due to financial and bureaucratic hurdles.

Only now am I beginning to feel that I can deal with this. Chérie left me with many wonderful memories and a marvelous family – and some challenges, including finishing a rather ambitious book project.

Stay tuned!

Well, FWIW, I've got big plans for revamping my, ahem, social media presence but I need to finish making sure that I can get sufficient income to continue living where I do after losing my partner in life for nearly 46 years, Chérie Hoyle, died just over a year ago on 12th January 2024.
