It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, following a brief illness, of Terry, our beautiful friend, brother and one of the most brilliant singers, songwriters and lyricists this country has ever produced. (1/4)
1/ My hot take on the Twitter saga:
What we are actually witnessing with Elon's takeover of Twitter is a major schism within the dominant ideology of the modern world:
The Californian Ideology
Let me explain 👇

My wife asked why @LBBOnline ask me to write for them. I said I didn't know, then showed her what I was about to send. "Errm, isn't that biting the hand of the discipline that feeds you?" & suddenly I understood exactly why they ask me to write for them. https://t.co/a18YGPiZIj
OpenAI released a new chat feature - ChatGPT - last night and it is blowing everyone’s minds. I, of course, asked it to perform a critical task, to compose a poem on the decline of marketing. Here it is:

A fascinating new report from @Thinkboxtv on the media consumption differences between those who work in media in the UK versus the UK average. As per usual - 'you are not the target'! For example... 🧵1/5
'Subscription VOD, according to data from BARB, accounts for 35 mins of viewing time per adult per day in the UK. Media professionals estimate that the population spends 2hrs, 3 mins a day watching SVOD – almost four times as much as they actually do.'
Can't help but think what is going on right now in the UK is the perfect example of @NaomiAKlein's concept of Shock Doctrine / Disaster Capitalism. The use of a crisis (energy+inflation+Brexit) to implement crazy ideology on the economy. It's not an instruction manual, Liz.
