"It encourages music fans to believe that the records they streamed the most must be the ones they liked the most, which is surely not always the case."
Damn Right.
"When we just accept that what a streaming service tells us about our music taste is true, there is much that we are not remembering, learning or celebrating about the music of our years and lives."

This Spotify Wrapped season, don’t outsource your love of music to AI:

The streamer’s annual charts are just another version of the tech that’s alienating us from our inner lives. Hold on to your musical memories and reclaim ownership of your taste

The EU officially blacklisted Russia as a high-risk country for money laundering and terrorism financing, breaking with the FATF’s hesitation. This move will force all financial institutions across the EU to increase scrutiny of any transactions involving Russia, further isolating Moscow financially

Putin has nothing to gain from peace on its own. It will have to be peace as a result of Ukraine's surrender. The U.S. is only interested in short term cash gains for the regime leaders so Putin can pay them off if they push Ukraine to surrender.
Vladimir Putin has used a blend of charm, stalling and pointed threats to show US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner exactly where Russia stands on peace with Ukraine, making the Americans wait several hours for a meeting about ending the war in Ukraine.
 
‘We’re not further from peace’: Kushner and Witkoff step into Putin’s war game
Who’s to blame for Russia’s war on Ukraine dragging on for years? According to Putin, it’s Europe.

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve".

He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later
Conservatives Promote JCB's 'Revolutionary' Pothole Machine While Taking Millions of Pounds in Donations from the Company
Senior Conservatives have repeatedly promoted a pothole repair machine made by a company which has donated huge sums to the party and its MPs

OTD in 2021 Russian Embassy on Londonograd reported that US & UK were manipulating false claims of a Russian invasion & occupation of Ukraine to spread panic.

Which is why you can believe us now we say we want peace.

Refuk’s Coburn, who was UKIP’s leader in Scotland, appeared in WhatsApp messages to traitor Nathan Gill. CPS evidence shows repeated references to a “David” and a payment of $6,500 to an MEP called “D”. In April 2019, Voloshyn wrote to Gill: “I’m seeing D in the morning. How much was for him?”
