It has come to my attention you might not know there is a Fans of Dutch Uncles Facebook group. Come join us!! We have memes. facebook.com/groups/dutchunc…
It’d be transformational if just an extra 1% of the Oasis queue took an interest in live music in small venues.
I’ve seen figures that 20m tried for tickets today. If 1% off them went to 4 gigs a year at a small venue (300 cap), it would be sold out every night for 7.3 years.
I love how everyone is rallying behind the International Boxing Association - an organisation that has been banned from the Olympics since 2019 due to "concerns about its leadership, integrity and financial transparency." (that last bit is being financed by Russia, btw.)
Nice to hear @Keir_Starmer standing up for trans rights in response to a quite hostile caller demanding he abolish them on @bbc5live. A really respectful and empathetic response.
A cynic might suggest that Rishi Sunak deliberately waited until Pride Month started so that the people getting annoyed that "you can't move for rainbows" can now stick it to "those awful woke LGBTQ monsters" by voting for the Tories to remove their right to vital services.
I feel like this McDonalds thing is only coming as a surprise to them. Their stores are essentially staffed by teenagers. Very few people have the life experience to be in charge when they're 19. 1/2 @bbcnews
I worked for McD between the ages of 16-19 and one manager in particular really had it in for me. Shifts with him were miserable. He was constantly cruel. People commented on how awful he was to me, but no one did anything to stop it. It was passed off as "banter." @BBCNews 2/2
Got into a ChatGPT copywriting loop today. Asked it for suggestions, wrote accordingly, fed work back in and asked for improvements. Rinse and repeat. 😅
I just asked ChatGPT to write me some lyrics based on some themes I'm exploring.
It's a bit impersonal at the moment, but fuck me, it's a good board to jump off.
This may come as a surprise to some, but it is entirely possible to feel that your life is shit without being bitterly resentful of those whose life is not.
