Having switched to Tidal from Spotify, I am enjoying their 197X! Songs of the year playlists. Often they seem to have 12" versions. The long version of Float On by The Floaters is even more visible than the single edit. Cancer! And my name is Larrrrrry. tidal.com/track/253579...

I can't help feeling that if these uniformed, masked yobs had been protesting against climate change, there would have been many more arrests (currently zero).

Except Walkers Salt and Vinegar, which now need half the vinegar washing off. I blame Gary Lineker, as this started during their Salt & Lineker "intense" stage.

Oxfordshire County Council is leaving X, the Elon Musk-owned platform formerly known as Twitter. It says it is “deeply concerned about the rise in online hate speech and abuse targeting women and girls… we must make clear and principled choices about how we communicate”.

Imo “Nigel Farage doesn’t believe in Covid vaccines” would tank his polling if more people knew about it (though you could say that for a number of his policies)

The Israeli government has adopted the double-strike tactic used by Bashar al-Assad in Syria: target a hospital or heavily populated area, then hit it again when rescue workers, reporters and medics turn up, to kill or maim them too. Hideous war crimes piled one upon another.
