Friedrich Merz, Germany's new chancellor: "The interference in the German elections by Elon Musk and Trump's Washington was no less radical and outrageous than that of Moscow." #GermanElections #CDU

Brilliant take on what’s going on. Most people I see voting the #fckafd have no connections to foreigners or economic concerns. It’s been a media 💩storm and I think I know who’s been feeding it. It’s more important than ever that #Merz takes the wind out of the #fckafd‘s sails from Day 1.

Trump administration is completely consolidating all federal power in the executive. Do you think they ever have any intention of giving that power up ever again? There won't be free and fair elections ever again because they can't allow that kind of power to change hands and be used against them.

Wrote a little review for VISIONS magazine about one of the best albums by the fabulous @lsdunes.bsky.social. Kaspar, the Rock Beardie, approves. Now - how to get tickets to their show when they’re all sold out and the local record co rep is a bit of a Fräulein?

I was interviewed about German politics this morning. Why would EM support the #fckafd when they are anti-American, was one of the questions asked. All these nerds and outcasts who were bullied getting their own back? Strength in numbers? Please enlighten me with your thoughts. Dankeschön.

When you were growing up, what did you imagine you would do if nazis invaded your country? That is probably still your best guide for what you ought to do now.

I've been reading Adrian Edmondson's excellent autobiography Berserker!, and this observation on the writing process is something I think a lot of creatives will find highly relatable (in my case particularly the Fantasy Football bit).

Adrian Edmondson talks about it being normal to not be successful as a writer.

Pearl Jam is threatening to cancel tickets sold above face value to its upcoming tour and is not happy with the TicketMaster dynamic pricing scheme or the secondary market. Once again, if folks had paid attention to what PJ was saying in the 90s, we wouldn't be in this boat.

I’ve neglected this platform, including the #BookChallenge. Although I’m happy not being on twatter anymore, I find this platform less entertaining. Maybe it’s because I don’t spend enough time on it. Who knows? Who cares?

Musicians and artists deserve fair pay for our work! The current structure only benefits the huge companies that control the majority of the industry and leaves musicians with poverty-wage payouts, from streaming to live shows.
