My daft band has a new song out about your da being radicalised by right wing propaganda online, even though he told you to be careful online when you were growing up.

I will never finish it. I have to work at some point.

Michael M 👽 @michaelmisrubbish.bsky.social · 1d

Agree! The entire series should be 80 minutes.

Michael M 👽 @michaelmisrubbish.bsky.social · 1d

I've never felt more dread.

Put this paragraph on a T-shirt;

There's a lot to love about the internet's democratisation but we've also conjured the notion
that artists must develop a gamut of despicable business practices to break through the noise.
TikTok industry influencers bleat about posting constant content - 20 new videos a week, strategy decks, KPls. The power was meant to return to artists, but we've accidentally just made our artists business-speaking cunts. The sort of people we got into music to avoid. The horrors of the industry didn't go away, our artists grotesquely ingested them.

We used to have to watch stranger things on a gramophone.

Stranger things has been kicking around for so long that people have nostalgia for the first series of stranger things like people had nostalgia for the 80s during the first series of stranger things.

Haha yeah, it's the same for me, Irish in surname alone, about 4 generations back.

It's fine, you're either Scottish Scottish or Irish Scottish but it's not about your actual heritage, just whether blue or green fills you with dread.

Haha I thought so, but I didn't want to assume!!

Nope! But absolutely better than 0.0001p per stream.

I never dug deep into my family history to claim heritage during brexit. But I'm absolutely doing it now.
