Commanding the Woodstock ’99 stage with pure intensity, “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” saw DMX deliver one of the festival’s most unforgettable performances, appearing on It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, released May 1998. The track captures his raw energy at the height of his rise.

Up next its yet more new artists, this time an outstanding duo, 22 years ago:

This is @TheBasementJaxx @ Dance Department Radio 538, Netherlands, 26.06.04

An exclusive 50 minutes on Dutch radio from the creators of some all time bangers. I believe this is a snapshot of an unknown live mix/gig they did over there, rinsed out on radio.

Reminder that all mixes uploaded here today go on my Kofi for download tonight.

Just had my council tax bill through and it's gone up *considerably*.

Also had to pay extra for my green waste, again.

It immediately reminded me of this masterpiece.

@AXS_UK Simple. Don’t buy tickets through AXS in the first place. Having a terrible

The banks are PISSING THEMSELVES.

They’ve just realized that some autistic crypto startup in a WeWork with $20 million in T‑Bills and a React front-end is about to nuke the entire $17 trillion U.S. deposit base…

…by offering 4.9% yield on a stablecoin while JPMorgan gives you 0.01% and a debit card that expires in two years.

“BUT THAT’S NOT FAIR” – every bank lobbyist ever

Now the banking system, this Godzilla made of soy, duct tape, and 11,000 physical branches, is whining to Congress like:

“This isn’t fair! If people can earn yield on dollars outside the bank… they might leave the bank!”

No shit. That’s the point. You locked everyone into a zero‑yield Ponzi for a decade while printing $7 trillion, and now you’re shocked people want out?

What’s next, are you gonna sue water for being wet?

This is a regulatory street fight between code and bureaucracy, between global liquidity that settles in five seconds and the rotting husk of Bretton Woods wearing a suit made of FDIC pamphlets.

And guess what?

The White House is hosting peace talks.

Yes.

Trump’s team just invited Circle and Coinbase to sit down with Jamie Dimon and tell him that the future of dollars may not involve Jamie Dimon.

Can you imagine the mood in that meeting?

“Hi Jamie, meet Brian from Circle. He tokenizes T-Bills with six engineers and a Discord server. He’s taking 3% of your deposits and none of your regulatory costs. Thoughts?”

The reality is that every time one of these banks says “we’re concerned about financial stability,” what they mean is:

“Please don’t let these crypto goblins disrupt our ability to harvest yield off the lower-middle class with 18% credit cards and 0% checking accounts.”

They want protection rackets codified into law.

Like “you can’t offer yield on stablecoins unless you’re a licensed bank,”

aka:

“We missed the boat, so let’s blow up the dock.”

Banks can’t compete.

Let’s model it:

A bank: 11,000 branches, 75,000 tellers, legacy core systems from 1982, and a CFO who thinks Solana is a fish.

Circle: 25 people, 100% T-Bill backing, 24/7 redemptions, yield streamed on-chain like Netflix.

Now let me make this brutally simple... Who wins?

The guys with marble lobbies or the protocol that turns dollars into yield-bearing bearer assets?

The banks are playing defense against stablecoin yield... but what happens when it clicks that stablecoins are just a transition vector to full monetary exit?

What happens when people use stablecoins to bootstrap into Bitcoin treasuries with self-custody?

You go from “5% yield off Circle’s T-Bill stack” to “30% CAGR in purchasing power in a bearer asset that can’t be diluted and lives outside the IMF death loop.”

That’s endgame stuff.

The banks are scared of USDC + USDT.

Wait until every mom in Omaha is yield farming STRC dividends from their Roth IRAs using a Lightning app.

We’re replacing the entire fiat architecture with a monetary black hole.

When filming the og STAR WARS trilogy, Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) would really speak to Harrison Ford in the scenes - so when Solo is reacting, he's reacting to actual dialogue and not just wookie sounds.
This is *hilarious* I'm gonna need an entirely new Special Edition.

The guy is Alaa Abd El-Fattah, he posted on social media that he hates white people, he wants to murder police and native British.

The woman on the right is Eva Vlaardingerbroek. She posted some mild criticism of British PM Keir Starmer.

Guess which one is banned from Britain?

Absolutely insane headline

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I see Nicola Sturgeon is once again complaining that I posted a picture of myself wearing a T-shirt with her name on it and the legend 'Destroyer of Women's Rights.' Apparently this didn't 'elevate the debate.'

Is there a clinical term for an individual who has extreme thinness of skin when it comes to their own perceived hurts, coupled with a rhino-hide when it comes to the fear and suffering of others?

I'm thinking in particular of the two women Isla Bryson raped, who had to watch their First Minister squirm and smirk on TV as she tried to avoid admitting he was a man; of the five survivors of male violence who were ready to give evidence to Sturgeon's committee on gender self-ID, but were told to put their concerns in writing while seventeen trans-identified people appeared in person; of the mother of a young girl with a learning disability who campaigned against self-ID because she wanted her daughter to be guaranteed same sex intimate care, should she need it (the mother was presumably one of those female opponents Sturgeon calls 'shrill' and 'hysterical' in her memoir); of the ten-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a public bathroom by a 6'5" paedophile who served his jail sentence in a women's prison because he called himself 'Katie'; of Sandie Peggie, forced to discuss her own menstrual history in public to justify not wanting to undress in view of a 6ft straight cross-dresser in the nurses' changing room; of Marion Millar, dragged into court because she tweeted a picture of suffragette ribbons; of the Scottish rape crisis centres reliant on government funding who were pressured to admit trans-identified males into their services if they wanted funding to continue.

When Sturgeon refers to an 'elevated debate', she means a discussion that takes place within a tiny, smug bubble from which regular women suffering real life consequences of her policies are firmly excluded. These faceless ants are loftily dismissed as bigots, or, to be more precise: 'transphobic, misogynistic, homophobic, maybe racist as well.'

Nicola, you hated the T-shirt picture because you couldn't ignore it, as you'd ignored so many other women trying to make you understand their concerns. Appeals to your empathy, your intelligence and your compassion all failed. Apparently the only way to get through to you is through your vanity.

Tonite on the streets of London

While delivering hot food and blankets, We spoke directly to people sleeping rough and asked them about the help Sadiq Khan promised for the homeless this winter.

Their response was heartbreaking but clear
They say the promises are only for media headlines and image-building before elections.
On the ground, no real help is reaching them.

No shelters.
No consistent support.
No change in freezing conditions.

I promised them this: tomorrow I will return with more blankets and hot food.
Because if those in power won’t act, we will.

If millions are being announced, where is the money going?
Because on the streets of London, people are still being left to suffer.

This isn’t politics for them, it’s survival.
If possible help them
