Not an arsenal fan but WTF is that, absolutely shocking decision

How our democracy has been hijacked by corporations and wealthy elites The only effective remedy is to ban all private donations, or bribes, to political parties.

Political donations are institutionalized bribery.

Donors get access to policymakers, shape laws, tax privileges, lax regulations, govt contracts/subsidies, honours, power.

Banning political donations is a necessary step for free and fair elections and democracy

I bought that album at the time, totally forgot about it. Enjoyed the movie as well.

Great live band, sure I seen them at the Barowlands in Glasgow with the lemmonheads

The Clash release “London Calling”, their 3rd studio LP, today in 1979.

“Punk rock isn’t something you grow out of,” Joe Strummer said. “Punk rock is an attitude, and the essence of that attitude is, ‘Give us some truth.’”

“Train in Vain”

Exciting you mean

Looking forward to it as always chief

Awesome , typical Microsoft POS 🤓

Does it support archives pst files yet? Can’t survive without that.

Me: takes laptop away and says now show me how you’re going to work

Absolutely phenomenal band, loved every song

It started up in Fife, it ended up in tears- The Waterboys

As gamers, we're used to companies squeezing every last penny out of us:

* Microtransactions
* Season passes
* Loot boxes
* Live service games

But this most recent trend of "Play 3 Days Early if you have the super-duper expensive version" really rubs me the wrong way.

At 31 I felt 21, at 41 I felt 21, now at 51 I feel like 81

Entertainment industry accused of fleecing fans as UK ticket mark-ups reach 41% Analysis charts rise of ‘sneaky’ fees for gig-goers, as singer Kate Nash says she makes more from selling pictures of her bottom than from touring

Live Nation promotes tours by hundreds of artists such as Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney. It owns Ticketmaster and 28 venues and festivals in the UK. Live Nation told investors in 2018 that it was pursuing a strategy of increasing ticket fees to match those levied in the US.

Great band

I keep switching away from apple to break free, only lasts for a few months though before there are things that annoy me too much, android auto voice to text is a main one

absolutely nothing worse than loading up a new game and it loads its own launcher 🤢

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.
RP if you want the Monarchy gone.

Now it's a party @xbox.com

Everyone trying to work out why video games aren’t selling anymore — “Too many games? Prices are too low? Marketing is hard?” — when the answer this time around is actually simple:

The world got *fucked* and no-one has any money

People are struggling to pay bills and rent, let alone buy your game

Yes can't believe only now are they making more games for apple, too late.

Yes keep dabbling with it but time to free myself from Apple noose

Been an apple guys for 15 years and in the process of ditching them. Swapped iphone for pixel and currently switching to Linux laptop

The current AAA game space is healthy and easy, no question. Simply force a studio to make new game based on market trends, and then when your guess was wrong six years later and it's out of style by the time it lands, you simply close the studio and start the process anew.
