How do you feel about the time you spend using your smartphone? Carrying out some research into phone habits, would love submissions if you can spare 2 mins please!

@wookiebait @Tesco I knew I could count on your support.

[Oliver Baxter @belsimian]

Throwing this one out there. Is @Tesco's new approach to dip packaging (no more solid resealable plastic lid, now only single-use film lid) a sustainable move to produce less plastic, or cunning ploy to make me finish an entire tub of Taramasalata in one sitting? Genuine question

Watch the first minute of this. Pretty good reasons to vote Labour in the next election. Excellent campaigning from Peter Cruddas here 😂

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Lord Peter Cruddas, "If Labour wins they will reduce the voting age, abolish voter ID, and introduce Proportional Representation making it impossible for the Conservative party to win an outright majority in the future."

Conservative Democratic Organisation

(2/2) Their work on the Own Our Venues campaign & pioneering Pipeline Investment Fund (placing a levy on tickets sold at major vanues to support grassroots independent venues) are contributing to a turning of the tide that threatens independents. Currently 1 closing a week 😱

[Oliver Baxter @belsimian]

100% agree - so much achieved in such a short time. Just met Beverley (COO of MVT) for the first time since 2015, when they were just established, and CEO @markdavyd delivered a blistering dressing-down to greedy major arenas and venue networks at @FocusWales this morning. (1/2)

[Dan Salter @EchoesAndDan]

I can’t think of a single industry advocacy / lobbying body that has got as much done in as short a time as the MVT. Huge hat tip to their effort & dedication.

Not to pick on this artist, but © is the reason digital royalties exist. Revenue sharing in this manner is a licensing deal invoking certain exclusive rights—both right of publicity & right to control the making of derivative works. Killing © would mean no royalties for anyone.

[Massive Attack @MassiveAttackUK]

Is the discussion ‘should AI recreate music?’ or is the discussion ‘Why is contemporary music so homogenised & formulaic that it’s really easy to copy?’

[Oliver Baxter @belsimian]

Another step begins in the Musk playbook.

Force independent, trusted news outlets off Twitter, control/influence 100% the remaining news content on the platform (and continue to influence the remaining rats that haven't fled the sinking ship?).

[Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonk]

Oh wow, this is big: NPR is quitting Twitter — on all 52 of its official Twitter feeds. This is in response to Twitter's (wrong) decision to label the network "state-affiliated media," a label traditionally applied to state-run media in autocratic regimes.
