🌟 The iconic 1982 hit "Bum Bum" by Ophlin Russell (Sister Nancy) is making a major comeback! 🎶 Today's generation is loving the rhythm, even if they might not be familiar with the original lyrics. Little did they know the song was actually a nod to Sister Nancy's groundbreaking..++ 💃
🤔🤔💢. 🧵 1/6 I acknowledge the reasoning behind the platform Substack partnering with a tool given its user a way to identify AI-generated content and the level of human input in each content. This tool, I suspect may soon be adopted on various platforms, and used on other services…🧵
Given both the Bank of England and the government have confirmed that Brexit resulted in a 6% economic downturn, costing the UK around £29 billion. As a publicly-funded broadcaster, can the BBC do the decent thing once as responsibly reexamine past debates it has amplified that…++
Is Labour government, led by Andy Burnham,decision to establish a new government headquarters in Manchester dubbed as 'No10 North' is well-planned and thoroughly evaluated? I have not come across a detailed breakdown of the costs and research behind this move, more like a rushed and optimistic idea.
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 The extremist British right-wing mentality has single handedly wrecked the boat of the British Empire, leading it to stagnation and retreat behind the walls of a tiny, isolated shell. Even in the limited confines of this small shell ….1/4
Funny old world 🧵1/4 Decades ago, as a young journalist, my first assignment was to edit the science page. It just so happened to coincide with the anniversary of the first moon landing in 1969. Little did I know that I would be delving into a science feature In the introduction,…++
I rarely share such but what a blast it was to soak up the incredible vibes brought by Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim) on Brighton Beach! He's been a constant source of joy for me since the 80s. Yesterday felt like a magical trip down memory lane, that awesome déjà vu once again.
🚨 Those who promoted and nurtured powerful AI platform models like Claude AI to gain unchecked power are going to be the first to cry out in disbelief and plead for rescue. The once heralded ethical model has shifted towards aggression and narrative control ushering in a world war..++
🏴🏴 The anticipation.the anxious wait, the quiet prayers, the weight of a nation’s hope resting on eleven players.

Michael Olise is a West London boy,rejected by Chelsea and Man City as a kid now France’s brightest star at this World Cup.Nobody asks why. But you could figure yourself they even having ago at Bellingham and no one saying this enough.But Says everything about what black talent has to overcome here.
So I caught this comedy sketch asking “What is the Battle of the Boyne, and why does it keep popping up on our calendar every year?” Turns out even plenty of English folks go blank when you ask them that one 😅 (Yes, I’ve now planted that curiosity seed — go ahead and Google it.) …1/3+
Condolences to Qatar and the Gulf region on the passing of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Father Emir of Qatar, A Sandhurst-trained leader who came to power in 1995, later became one of the rare regional rulers to voluntarily hand power to his son, Sheikh Tamim, in 2013. May he rest in peace. 🇶🇦🕊️
RIP Dermot Murnaghan. You slipped away so quietly, in the same gentle, steady way you carried yourself on our screens for decades. From the newsroom to our living rooms, you brought calm, warmth, and trust into difficult moments. North London and the whole country mourns a wonderful man today.
The daily hate won’t give this a prominent airing too positive too threatening to their hate bait clicks. His Majesty King Charles and Queen Camilla met Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and their two children on Friday Charles' first meeting with his grandchildren Archie,7, and Lilibet, 5, since 2022.
What If Clacton actually granted every Brit their wishes and elected Count Binface, Westminster wouldn’t roll out the red carpet as his maiden speech will never sounded so recyclable in fact it’d still outperform half the current benches on attendance alone.🥲. 📸 (internet grab)
…traced to a US businessman with a criminal record a claim he has flatly denied. Call me sceptical,but the timing deserves scrutiny. This story has broken just as Farage is mired in his own scandal, having resigned his seat and triggered a by-election rather than face a parliamentary probe ..2/5
Let us dream. England in the final?🤞🤞 We fight tooth and nail past Norway, take our long-overdue revenge on Argentina, then settle the score with France in the ultimate Trafalgar battle. And this time, the world will hear it loud and clear: football’s coming home. ⚽🏴
The US football team and fans was humiliated by Belgium, and sadly, undeservedly lost the support of huge numbers of fans who had admired their impressive performances in this Cup. That had nothing to do with the team or their fans , it was down to…+1/3

We’re talking about over 70% of the UK TV ad market here. Let’s hope Westminster lawmakers and regulators scrutinize this deal between Rupert Murdoch’s Sky and a public channel ITV closely
A viral video,shows brutality and sadism of Isreal solders beyond description, in northern Jerusalem: throwing a grenade inside a vehicle he stoped carrying a group of young men. And Not content with that, he deliberately held the door shut to stop the driver from escaping.Unwatchable. Unforgivable.
⛔️. Nigel Farage caught out once again for his allegedly ties to criminals from abroad ,, this time a convicted US fraudster. But hey, with all the footi noise what a “good day to bury bad news” for his allies in the MSM and the Beeb.

⛔️ Most people don’t hate AI. They hate what’s been done with it: our collective work, taken without consent, monetized by a handful of the already-powerful. And now the technology is inseparable from the men chasing it m, not to serve humanity, but to own it. Control, not progress, is the goal.1/3
