Finally, some accurate advertising from the BBC

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

💢 An Iranian Shahed drone heading toward enemy targets today was seen bearing a sticker reading “In memory of Tupac Shakur” and “Killuminati,” referencing his 1996 album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.

The album’s opening track, “Bomb First (My Second Reply),” is about defiance, survival, and resistance to power — themes that closely mirror Iran’s wartime messaging.

Iranian forces and allied groups have increasingly incorporated global anti-establishment pop culture into their messaging and psychological warfare — in their viral LEGO videos and with references like this.

🎶 Lines from the track resonate with that framing:

“We didn’t even come to hurt nobody… but it’s my life or your life”

“Got nothin’ to lose, got nowhere to go”

“Ride for the cause… I’ll die for the cause”

“Plan, plot, strategize… and bomb first”

Waste isn’t the by-product of the economy. It’s the raw material for a new one. Just as fossil fuels powered the Industrial Age, waste-as-a-factor-of-production may power the Regenerative Age.

Waste (time, talent, resources, potential) is not the by-product of the economy — it is the raw material for a new one.

Just as fossil fuels powered the Industrial Age, waste-as-a-factor-of-production may power a Regenerative Age.

Imagine if you could tokenise the value of working class values and principles and use them with which to trade your product and grow your economy, without the need for tariffs! #bekind @fslconsult

Community Benefit Tokens (CBTs) can be seen as a savings technology, as they store and measure social and economic value, incentivising sustainable behaviours and fostering long-term community wealth.

The market and traders never fail to impress - open again today with Antiques Forum Group braving the cold on The Stones, bringing you a rather superb Antiques Market until later this afternoon.

Come have a browse and make a spend, if you're able.

Brilliant work by one of Stoke's best campaigners. All power to the Red-Haired Stokie!

💬 Let’s talk about local journalism in Stoke-on-Trent…

At yesterday’s council budget briefing, media outlets reported the facts – good, bad, and progress.

But Stoke-on-Trent Live? They posted 4 negative, clickbait articles.

Why?

2025: The year we take on waste together. 🌍💪 Our New Year’s resolution is simple: build a future where nothing—resources, people, or potential—goes to waste. Let’s make it happen, one step at a time. Who’s in? #Sustainability #NoMoreWaste #NewYearsResolution

The Stoke Model could be described as a "parallel startup society": a small-scale initiative that experiments with transformative ideas while seeking to operate independently from existing structures. https://t.co/xmJcQbfDUW

No words really to convey how much she brought to CUK and what a hole she has left 🖤
