For songs about pain, romance and the human condition how can an AI artist, that could never take to the stage and be vulnerable, capture that? These people are freaks.

I realised today that it’s been a long, long time since I’ve heard anyone making the case for safe and legal routes on the broadcast news. The ludicrous idea that irregular migration is somehow the most serious issue facing the country is all you ever hear.

Peaceful environmental activism results in record jail sentences and prosecutions under terrorism. Yet far-right activism brandishing knives against and intimidating the RNLI seem to be "legitimate concerns" and are left unanswered.

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

BUT it seems self-evident that X and the things it pushes on to the vast majority of sensible British politicians and pundits who use it every day, is having a non-zero effect on their worldview, most obviously in the valence of news events, and their conception of how the "public" feels about them.

“Everyone’s afraid the studio doesn’t need the artist anymore, but it’s the artist that doesn’t need the studio” A little edgy for using a living person, moreso on the heels of Paul Schrader’s awful approach, yet it makes its point quite well, & I think that’s the point.

"Stop the boats" really does seem to be the magic words to make sure your "spontaneous" protest, that took months to plan isn't policed and even tacitly supported by the government. "Palestine" on the other hand will elevate even your placards to terrorist propaganda.
