One way of describing this is a “market correction”. Another is that a bunch of slimy neo-fascist pricks have just watched their favourite enabler get his arse handed to him, and suddenly the world's biggest ever heist looks a lot less profitable. www.theguardian.com/business/liv...

It's #BandcampFriday again, and I have some recommendations for you! This time, I asked our Bluesky artists for the songs that best represent their work. Most argued the definition of "best", but here they are nontheless! Good stuff below, so take a look, listen and maybe pick something up! 👍

please sign these petition, started by British Library workers, demanding that the okans to privatise reading rooms and outsource security services are halted. (I for one had not realised the plan included the latter: the security staff at the BL are lovely and it would be awful to see them lost)
