Hello friends This is a referral link to the most valuable newsletter I pay for (happily). It's not rose-tinted optimism, it's just rigorous reporting of human progress and success to counter the negativity that sells newspapers. This is money very well spent. fixthenews.com?r=h8rt

"80% of Finns say they would defend their country if attacked. In Britain, the figure is closer to 33%. That gap is not an accident... Finland has spent decades building a society in which people have a genuine stake in what they are being asked to defend." www.bylinesupplement.com/p/andy-burnh...

Keep thinking of this brilliant explanation of this Island's mentality from The Perfect Golden Circle by @benjaminmyers76.bsky.social

"And I would say that the only thing, maybe, that humanity has ever really done right is bear witness to its own thing..." Tom Junod via @phil-adams.bsky.social Here's the whole piece & conversation for full context www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnHT...

Phil is one of my favourite cultural observers, and this has made me think a lot over the last 24 hours. And not just about the dancing boys. It's excellent.

If you add the word ‘but’ after the phrase ‘I support the right to peaceful protest’ then you don’t support the right to peaceful protest.

Really good.

"The time to buy is when there's blood in the streets” Baron Rothschild's famous investment advice explains why 21st century politics is mostly vandalism and speculation. Smash everything and sell the rubble to your friends. The second part of the quote is "even if the blood is your own".

Love it when good friends make great work! If there's any justice in the world this will get widespread airplay. They've built a reputation as a brilliant live act and this EP catches everything that makes them a fantastic band. #newmusic #bandcampfriday slow-century.bandcamp.com/album/goodby...

The first question we should ask ourselves in these and all other elections is: Which candidates oppose the inordinate power of the ultra-rich, and which ones accept or encourage it?

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I read a very compelling argument that when this weasel chewed through a cable and unexpectedly shut down the Large Hadron Collider’s 17-mile particle accelerator in April 2016, that’s when our reality went haywire. I have yet to hear a more persuasive explanation. Not even really joking.

It's not May yet, but the shifting seasons make if feels like it is already the most heavenly time of year in this country. I keep thinking of Monty Don's perfect paean to British #spring. "When I die I shall go to May..."

Apparently this is being shared far and wide, but I haven't seen it on here yet. Crazily powerful choreography. Sorry if you've seen it ten times already. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6_m...

"The band that made me pick up a guitar is now helping me put guitars in the hands of other kids[...] Some loops close so neatly that pointing at them feels like cheapening them." Proper feelgood from Joshua Heath Scott and friends joshuaheathscott.substack.com/p/i-cant-bel...

This is a very moving and enraging episode, no matter if you've already watched the @channel4.bsky.social #DirtyBusiness programme, leaving the question: what are you going to do about it? NB Chris Hines’ summary at the end gives important clues. substack.com/home/post/p-... #Sewage
