Hello all - I'd be tremendously grateful if you could help spread the word about a MINI TOUR I’m doing this August. I’m taking my ‘BAD MOOD RISING’ show to some small-ish towns that often get bypassed on tour schedules. Any shares would be hugely appreciated. Thank you all! 💚

How many people do you know whose lives are dominated by a crisis at work? I wrote about the relentless growth of HR and its grip on our lives. Link below -
We, naturally, are very pleased to be highly commended at the #ScottishPodcastAwards for the agenda-setting, impactful, start-up @holyroodsources.
Congratulations to the - well known - 🏴Scottish podcast, The Rest Is Politics, for winning in our category: news, politics and current affairs.
Where England denied me my identity, the Scots welcomed me with open arms! And it all took was a Mc!
Scotland have adopted me! I am now Narinder McKaur 🥰😅
£20k and months into this album, and AI is scraping music like ours to train models for free. We're warned not to even post WiP on socials, as AI may scrape even these.
@TheAtlantic's tool shows which of your tracks are in (declared) training libraries: https://t.co/n0ZEf7wTqN
Excellent piece by Alison Rowat about what's going on at @BBCRadioScot in today's @heraldscotland. Well worth a read, and please share.

Had a dream that I was doing a tour of small Scottish towns that comedians usually ignore, and dropping down to Berwick Upon Tweed for a date as well . Oh wait….
BBC Radio Scotland backlash after '57% drop' in new Scottish music. “What they’re playing are 1980s and 1990s hits. That’s doing nothing for the Scottish cultural scene, and nothing for young or emerging musicians.” https://t.co/fRCrFeFV5Y
I'm hearing and reading some horror stories about how BBC freelancers are being treated in the current round of cuts. What BBC managers fail to understand is that the BBC employs people who are prepared to risk their lives for it....
Ashley Cain spent years calling women “slags” “sluts” and “bitches” on social media, but the BBC commissioned him anyway.
Misogyny isn't an accident, it's baked in to the institutions that shape public life.

Much more serious for BBC management than 1st story about Ashley Cain. If filming had to be suspended & new presenter flown in a year ago impossible to believe 2nd series commissioned 6 months later without anyone googling him to check for problems
