22 years ago on this day Blue Cathedral hit the racks. What a blast. I remember being just back from mixing and playing a studio cdr burn for a good friend on a summer van drive with all the windows down with the hot dust just blasting our faces and afterward he said, ‘man, that’s really something.’

Also, laying the blame so fully on Musk - who is absolutely a dangerous and contemptible racist creep - is very convenient for the UK's newspapers, news channels and politicians who've either spread the self-same racist myths, 24/7, for decades, or have entirely abandoned any pushback against them.

I think we have to be careful about crediting Musk with power he doesn't have. That way you help feed the myth of being the omnipotent all-powerful puppet master that controls everything that happens in the world. That's the main psychological con-trick they use to make opponents give up in advance.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Reform UK says it’ll ‘reset’ Britain inch by inch. But to what? Smog, slums and Section 28? Their nostalgic fantasy hides a dangerous truth. 👉 Read The Bear's clear-eyed breakdown of what’s really on offer ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...
