In the judgment, Vargas described Not Like Us as a “cultural sensation” and said the lyrics accusing Drake of being a paedophile were “set to a catchy beat and propulsive bassline”.

Judge Jeannette Vargas said the lyrics in Lamar’s Not Like Us, which refers to Drake as a “certified paedophile”, were a matter of opinion, which could not be “actionable defamation”.

Music was blaring, lights strobing, bodies gyrating. There was glitter everywhere. Welcome to Daybreaker, an early morning dance movement based in 33 cities around the world, where people come to “sweat, dance and connect with ourselves and each other”. It is also how I ended up in a nightclub at seven in the morning, sober and alone, approaching strangers to ask if they were having a good time. I suppose I should consider myself lucky. My editor at the time had initially (and a little too cheerily, I felt) suggested I go walking with wolves somewhere in the Lake District. Back in 2019, Daybreaker was a noisy example of what seemed like a striking shift in our consumption habits. The so-called “experience economy” was booming then and — following the Covid-19 interruption — has come back with a vengeance “The history of economic progress,” Joseph Pine II, who helped coin the term “experience economy” told me (and many others, I suspect, given the rhyme), “is paying a fee for what used to be free.” Can you see where I’m going with this?

My least practical view is more kids should go to university to meet different people from different parts of the country, learn new stuff (doesn’t need to be useful) and just generally learn to be an adult away from home and the workforce

“Too many kids go to university” is a view that’s a surprisingly good leading indicator of where someone’s views will converge on as they pass up the demographic ladder
