Why do you like Neil Young.

[𝙱𝚘𝚋𝚋𝚢’𝚜 𝙷𝚎𝚎𝚕 @SalvadorDafti]

Buffalo Springfield - Mr. Soul

Young sneering at the fame game before real fame had even been tasted, over a bastardised Satisfaction riff. A garage-rock gem on the surreal and shallow nature of stardom.

The Smothers Brothers. 1967.

This whole debacle is going to be on the curriculum of marketing degrees for the foreseeable future… https://t.co/xa9BuNpXfB

@Tim_Burgess Totally agree. Helping you find new favourites is what makes Later so brilliant.

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month.

No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less.

Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses

Lying, thieving b******

@BiteYourBrum Great flea market at Waterloopleinmarkt…every day except Sunday I think.
And Festina Lente is a great bar/cafe in the very hip Jordan area. If the weather’s good Vondelpark is well worth a picnic break.

@premnsikka I agree things must change. But only 27% of students up to the 2022/23 cohort will actually repay their loans in full, increasing to 67% of the 23/24 cohort due extension of the repayment period. A large proportion of overall student debt will never be repaid.
