#NowPlaying This was a leaving present from one of my team at the Virgin Megastore in Basingstoke who was dating Joe Strummer's daughter at the time. It was less than a week later that I heard about Joe's death on the BBC lunchtime news. Love them or hate them, this is a great Saturday night LP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him.
And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it.
But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.
