Since this is going to be an issue, and I don't like doing it, a bit of a clarification is necessary. Tubi is NOT owned by FOX News, but the two units share the same corporate owner, Fox Corporation. They are completely autonomous from each other nor directly financially support each other.

something tells me Gnod were possibly being a little too subtle with their approach to this release.

For decades, a Pittsburgh collector named George quietly amassed a staggering 70,000-record jazz archive. Now, this once-in-a-lifetime collection is available exclusively on Discogs via Philadelphia Music. Shop the first drop: https://disc.gs/4sHdpP6

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

Hello, old friend.

It seems #DuckDuckGo have decided to ask the question no other tech company will. at the moment the opinion is stark.

the redefinition of 'liberal' as a right-wing conservative position seems to have taken. a success for the right, no doubt, less insidious as the literary colonialism which has largely redefined the term 'woke', it continues a fight to reduce the positions centre-left/left can place themselves in.

In "celebration" of thr Pepto Bismol ad now being on the radio, I took some popular radio-friendly songs and added the "Diarrhea" guy.

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen. Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

The #DaftPunk YouTube channel appears to be playing out their BBC Radio 1 Essential Selection set from NYE 1998 as a live stream. Worth catching, it sounds like it's from the BBC masters; subliminal 'essential...' IDs but no VOs. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_mI... m.soundcloud.com/greycollecti...

It's not as if we weren't warned.

So: Trump has finally filed a law suit against the BBC. New reports say he filed the suit in Florida yesterday. Am going to have a look at this and will post more later.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Here is a bit of my resignation speech from last night

all that immigration causin' ruckus & we've lost 2m voters from the population.

The good people of #Durham may need a bit of a hug.

geeky day @ #derbyquad with the professor's xperiments & xcavations with @tobyhadoke.bsky.social. #quatermass

How to write for men.

Looks like #Spotify is getting the George Riley payola this week. All three are the entirety of the ~10min of 'bonus' material the label has collected since the original album was released in Sept. Nothing sounds any better than a b-side, though the Slow remix may get played out.

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

Juries are not perfect. Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials. But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having. They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.

stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

the tiny-handed tangerine tyrant with a rumoured taste for troubling teens seems to have shopped around in the bargain bin for his legal counsel. though his penchant for salaciousness may be related to the time he spent with his pal jeff.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

it may have taken slightly more than 20 years to track down one of @maryannehobbs.bsky.social Breezeblock tracks, but i've finally got my hands on the awesome Real Time by Eddy Woo. Discogs will bankrupt me.

Absolute perfection. #Reform

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

Did you know an old CD-R 25-pack container is the perfect size for a loaded bagel? Dishwasher safe, too.

The #NoKings marches are scaring the hell out of Trump and his fellow fascists. But history tells us exactly what MUST come next to destroy his vile regime.

Just when you think Trump's TIME cover picture can't get any funnier, it just did! 🤣 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Oh, to be wild like the roses Oh, to be red with delight My blood is red out of fury The wind doesn’t blow this far right Some terrors are born out of nature Some terrors are born overnight Some terrors are born out of leaders With their eye on a different prize Lisa O'Neill
