My hot take: publishing companies do this to make money, not to defend a legacy artistβs work. Lawsuits like this should never primarily be assumed to be about a contemporary artist stealing anotherβs work
Olivia Dean's "I've Seen It" is accused of copying Bill Withers' "Just the Two of Us" in a new lawsuit.
The publisher behind Withers' catalog calls the similarities βobvious and inescapable.β

The RNLI are about as nationally beloved as puppies, spring mornings, and that first creamy pint on a Friday evening. Picking a political fight with them is a campaign strategy the far right are welcome to.

Blocked, for this

Itβs. A. Joke. It uses a known trope around how trans women are talked about, and employs it in absurdist fashion to makeup, claiming makeup canβt be seen without being disclosed. It also uses a before and after that fails to make the case. Are people so worn out by the internet?

I take comfort in this, because although this is ideologically driven revisionist history, youβre doing so to create distance between your politics and the Nazis and antisemitism, where many of your colleagues around Europe are not doing the same

After getting 12 pieces of junk mail in a row, I mouthed under my breath "fuck off Virgin," & realised I haven't said that since high school
@alannamcardle_ @criticalprvrsn ring the enquiry unit on 0300 123 1711?
@alannamcardle_ @criticalprvrsn would suspect that, with every kind of First-Tier tribunal hearing, they are public but not transcribed
@hopeformen @alannamcardle_ sokay, my phone head's up when shit's on
It's Glasgow. It's 7.30pm. It's about -2. It's raining. Two shops are selling ice creams. And people are buying them
