I'm 40 years old, and graduated from university in the summer of 2008. Throughout my entire adult life the prevailing narrative has been about cuts, "painful" years, and ever-increasing inequality.
And mainstream politicians wonder why people are so angry.
"Painful" years ahead, think tanks warn, as living standards set to fall

OK I'm evidently a bit slow, I woke up this morning to see loads of people sharing pics about a 3121 deluxe, but there's nothing about it on the official @prince social media pages...
I see it's been added in the online store anyway, lol

can someone explain to me why the most common retirement hobby for British boomers is *making it illegal to build anything, anywhere*

Oh, so he backed down real quick when the fierce public backlash started really burning, just three weeks before the elections?
This is exactly how you deal with people like him. Enough of kissing his ass and practically fainting at the mere prospect of having to endure another one of his raging tantrums because you dared to tell him "no."
Let him get his fingers burned by public opinion and firm, decisive resistance from the leaders of the free world every single time.
He doesn't understand any other language. All the appeasement and fawning over him, as if he were some problem child, only embolden him to walk all over the rest of us.

I love how millennials recharge by just shutting down completely and putting on their obscure comfort show that went off the air 20 years ago

Hey, @elonmusk, big man, are you playing politics with your products again?
As your European customers, we are watching you.
⚡️ 'This cannot be a coincidence' — Ukraine's Starlink access restricted without warning, Zelensky adviser says.
Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate its mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Keep in mind that Musk cutting off Starlink to Ukrainian Forces doesn't affect Ukraine's strikes on Russian territory, as it's already blocked there.
This is Musk purely attempting to limit Ukraine's strikes on Russians INSIDE Ukraine.
Any European governments using Starlink need to understand that the pro-Russian owner of Starlink will cut your defenses at any time if the price is right.

restricting Starlink without warning while Ukrainians are fighting for their lives is such a dirty move. this isn’t some fucking game.

We really need to outlaw this shit. No single person should have this much influence over a country of 350 million. It’s simply not compatible with a free society.
Elon Musk has funneled more than $276 million into Republican groups since July, making him by far the largest known donor in the midterms as he tries to save the GOP’s Senate majority with some of the largest donations in American political history. nyti.ms/4yeOjZe

By memory, the first Prince LP I acquired on the vinyl format (I became a fan in the early 2010s).
It’s been quite the collecting and listening journey since then 👌
