After writing about the devastating impact of Brexit on the UK music industry for 6 years, this could be the closest we've come to progress Politicians & industry insiders on how a "breakthrough" could be soon & why governments need to "get a grip" @NME nme.com/news/music/bre…

@jareddavisoba @Gianl1974 How very Christian of you.

@Gianl1974 That's why you don't come here illegally. Please go go home and stay home unless you come legally.

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

MESSAGE I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach. Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace. An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters. I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end. DALAI LAMA 31 March 2026

@Batfox_Pictures Let’s not forget the Tones On Tail sample

At Glastonbury in 1999, Scooby Snacks captured Fun Lovin’ Criminals at the height of their late-90s popularity. Originally released in 1996 on their debut album Come Find Yourself, the track reached the UK Top 20 and became their breakthrough hit. Built around laid-back grooves, hip-hop rhythms, and film dialogue samples, Scooby Snacks helped define the band’s cool, genre-blending sound, with festival performances like this showing how it translated effortlessly to large outdoor stages.

California artist painted a 600-foot mural on an overpass that only comes to life when you're driving. Hit the right speed and suddenly the figures start moving. A horse runs, stretches, and turns into a bird taking flight Pretty damn cool 🤯

BBC confirms the US is responsible for the Minab school massacre that killed 175 people, mostly girls. The "advanced" AI targeting system used outdated coordinates to hit a base next door, ignoring satellite images showing kids playing in the courtyard. Absolute war crime.

What are seeing now unfolding before our very eyes is an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba. More than one million people - some 20 percent of the Lebanese population - forcibly displaced, a war crime under international law. The Greater I$rael project in action. They have called it many things over the years, but this is an imperialist land grab that won’t stop at the south of Lebanon. They’d hoist the Zi0nist flag over Beirut if it wasn’t for the resistance.

BREAKING : Spanish 🇪🇸 PM Pedro Sánchez roars against Trump in Parliament "Trump is someone who will set the world on fire & then blame smoke caused by that. He has been wrong for 18 days of war. I urge everyone to call him out" 🔥 Sánchez earned RESPECT for courage 🫡

@blurofficial Girls & Boys = tune!!

Two days after the passing of 38-year-old Casey McIntyre from stage 4 ovarian cancer on November 12, 2023, her parting message to her friends and family included a final act of kindness... She had made arrangements to purchase and forgive medical debt for others, as stated on her account on X. NPR reported that McIntyre, an employee at a Penguin Random House imprint, received excellent healthcare during her ovarian cancer treatment, a benefit she knew wasn't accessible to all in the U.S., prompting her last wish. Through her X thread, she called on people to contribute to a fund she created in collaboration with the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt. This organization claims that each dollar donated clears about $100 of medical debt. They use data analytics to identify households with medical debt exceeding either 5% of their annual income or four times the federal poverty level, and then purchase this debt in bulk at a significant discount, as described on the organization’s website. By November 28, the fundraising initiative that McIntyre launched with RIP Medical Debt has amassed over $790,000. This will result in the elimination of nearly $80 million in medical debt.

@ImogenJames00 Gigs should be as long as the artist wants them to be.

How long should gigs be? I want to know what you think. Taylor Swift at more than 3 hours was very long, Lily Allen at 45 minutes, worth it? Harry Styles, what will it be? I want to hear from gig goers for a BBC article. DM or imogen.james@bbc.co.uk!

Hey, Americans👋🏻 Quick question…… What the actual fuck is wrong with you? He’s a convicted felon, a paedophile, he’s out there conducting illegal wars and bombing schoolgirls and his party are treating him like the second coming of Christ. None of this is fucking normal🤯

I am unfortunately still yet to land my next role in design Job searching has been tough and I’ve received a lot of no’s however I won’t give up on myself and my ability. If I could ask if you see this tweet for you to repost it. A single repost could land me my next job 🙏

@brianheadwelch @Korn_Official Where did L.A.P.D. fit in this? I have a 12”EP from the ‘90s when they were touring the USA and covering FNM Chinese Arithmetic…

The plan: 1) move away from Los Angeles, CA to escape the party life around 1992. 2) Take a job at my dad’s Chevron and Start community college. 3) Dad made me cut my hair, hence the hairdo 4) pre - @korn_official band members (minus JD) told me to cancel the Chevron/college plans and join their band Creep. 5) one year later in 1993, we connected with @officialjonathandavis … @korn_official was formed, and the rest is history 🔥 So yeah. I cut my hair for nothing. 😆 But without that reset, there’s no crazy early-Korn hairdo for your boy Head.
