Prince had a bank vault that held enough unreleased music to put out a new album every year for a century.

No idea what this error is supposed to be as I’ve barely posted on Twatter for a while, but anyway, in the latest installment of “X is a buggy mess” news… #Prince

I still maintain that the #Prince Estate missed a trick by not making their 2021 #RSD effort a two-fer of The Truth *and* Kamasutra (not in the same sleeve/package, of course)

Lads, the thing you need to understand about the tech industry is that it is essentially fantastical.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Burnham openly gunned for Keir Starmer’s job just a few months ago. He barely even tried to offer a plausible narrative for wanting to return to Westminster except to be better positioned to mount a challenge.
Some of the indignation here feels OTT, whatever you think of Starmer.

(I’m not sure this makes much difference to Keir Starmer’s prospects of surviving the year as prime minister either way tbh. He was choosing which set of problems he wanted, not whether to have a problem or not. And a Manchester mayor by-election was a *big* extra problem.)

Seems the outpouring of public support yesterday for Burnham might have been shallow indeed.
Any Labour politician eyeing up the leadership reasoned it would look bad to say Burnham shouldn’t stand. But that doesn’t mean they *meant* it. (And Burnham is less popular among MPs than some imagine).

NEW: Andy Burnham *blocked* from standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection. Of nine voting members on NEC group was 8-1 against him.

Even if he'd been allowed to stand, I'm not really convinced that Burnham in as PM would be the level of game-changer that Labour wants and needs (whether electorally or policy-wise), and that some people seem to have tagged him as being...

Remember that the UK has far, far weaker protections against state power than did the US. And the latter folded up like a pack of cards. The US is a warning from the British future.
