  2. @RejoinEU Well, in that case the monarchy should go to, as that presupposes an hereditary right bequeathed by the church. Yet if the interests of the family could elect representatives for the Parliament or Congress, and delegates for the Lords or Senate, they could propose to keep the Monarchy. If by choice it was the selection and election of an upstanding citizen, who would get it? #HereditaryPeersToGo #SellingOut #HereditaryRightsToGo #MonarchyToGo #ConstitutionalRights

  4. Ron Filipkowski: "Trump makes a deal with Maduro’s vice president to pillage oil from #Venezuela in exchange for the Maduro regime remaining in power (without Maduro), while Fox News and Republicans continue to tell the Latino community that he is going to put Machado in power because he wants freedom and democracy in Venezuela."

  5. Sen. Brian Schatz: "Why the hell is the President of the United States willing to sell some of our best chips to China? These chips are our advantage and Trump is just cashing in like he’s flipping a condo. This is one of the most consequential things he’s done. Terrible decision for America."

  6. Paul Rudnick: "JD Vance is trying to force his Hindu wife to #EmbraceChristianity.

    Because if she'll embrace JD she'll clearly embrace anything."

  7. As I'm contractually obliged to play music in a shop if I'm behind the counter, I've been playing* last night's vortex this morning as I had to open up the comic shop. Makes a nice change from the wierd melancholy of Cate Le Bon, or the finely crafted ambience of Mixmaster Morris

    *did have to skip past the RATM track as I was trying to talk to a person from a publishing company when that came on #sellingout

  8. Whoa. #SellingOut was never about becoming popular. It was realizing an artist was willing to be inauthentic. Signing with a major label to be promoted (or doing an endorsement for money) required accepting influence over how they now presented themselves to the world. Their new work wouldn't be as honest as the early stuff that first deeply connected to us as fans.

    Let's eliminate the need to submit to any outside demands to go viral today. #SocialWeb

  9. Now that everyone is a brand I think a lot about what it means to sellout, in no small part because of the moment of music I grew up listening to.
