This song is such a great example of what I love about the Gibbs as songwriters. It's ostensibly a Motown pastiche, but they can't resist throwing those key changes in and the lyrics are so distinctively their work. I can't think of another songwriter who'd write "let you make all that love to me"
Andrew Hickey@andrewhickey.500songs.com · 3d agoOnce you notice a song is the Bee Gees, it becomes impossible not to realise that, no matter who the ostensible singer. Most obvious example is Diana Ross here.
YouTube pundits being all "oooh Brighton have discovered a weakness in Arsenal, you need to press them high, relentlessly and in a coordinated fashion" as if Eddie Howe's #NUFC didn't do that to them over two legs in the League Cup a couple of seasons back

Reminder that Sam Altman raped his disabled sister for 9 years when she was a kid, and responded to her accusations by saying “caring for a family member who faces mental health challenges is incredibly difficult.” He deserves no less than a violent, painful death
Al Raven@alraven.bsky.social · last yr.Death would be too kind for this piece of shit (Sam Altman), and destroying the world with OpenAI isn't even the worst thing he's done....
The unmitigated fucking gall of this cunt (and of Newcastle University, if you were wondering)
this 1922 new york times story on hitler, over 100 years later, is like the poster child for why you don't just accept spin from people you have access to as gospel when you're doing reporting.
I don’t think the lede on this is ‘online bullying’; it’s crypto billionaire Ben Delo funded a SLAPP from an esoteric fascist that tried to bankrupt a Jewish artist, and lost after discovery revealed her private messages were full of esoteric fascist insanity about alien races and fairies
I simply don’t grasp the desire to compromise one iota with people like this. They have no desire to compromise with us, or with their clueless enablers and fellow travellers. They will not be merciful or understanding if they win. Every inch we give is a victory for them. Enough already, now.

Shabana Mahmood says she wants to distinguish between far-right extremism and legitimate local concerns over asylum sites

Either we speak out wholeheartedly in favour of international law, our moral obligations to refugees, the fantastic diversity of our country, everyone’s right to respect & the centrality of the rule of law to our democracy, or we‘re giving ground to people who want none of that

“Legitimate concerns“ rhetoric & increasing restrictions on migrants’ rights have led directly to Piddlington & to RNLI staff being doxxed as traitors. There can be no more trying to pretend there’s a respectable anti-immigration position which is meaningfully distinguishable from far-right thuggery

Cam all one word 🇵🇸@mickeymarxclub.bsky.social · last wk.Very funny that Ed Sheeran, who was so keen to co-opt and monetise Irish culture, failed to take into account how ingrained support for Palestine is in a country that has suffered from famine and genocide from its overbearing neighbour (where he was born and raised)
For those unaware, the current GC discourse is whether it's acceptable to harass a trans woman sat on a bench in public (nowhere near any sort of women's space, or service, or sports) solely for the crime of wearing a dress in public. Just reasonable concerns.
See this bollocks from self-proclaimed “sensible” voices. The Good Friday Agreement was nearly thirty years ago. People voted for peace and Sinn Fein were part of that agreement. If it was ok for Ian Paisley to be in government with them, I’m sure it’s fine for anyone else to talk to them.
I think about the bit in 1984 where they're all howling with laughter at footage an overweight refugee swimming for his life & getting shot by helicopters all the time these days. All the time.
@Julianshea.bsky.social@julianshea.bsky.social · 2w agoThis just in from our dehumanising cult correspondent. All of this, and the last 10 years of unravelling hatred, because Cameron was scared of losing face in front of his playground rival Johnson and wanted to look in charge. Thanks a lot, Eton, it's all on you.
