This should be obvious!

"You Were Not Supposed to Message It Through" - Marsh Family parody of the Bee Gees on #Signalgate YouTube video by Marsh Family

Here’s a song about #Signalgate – the flamboyant US security breach – adapted from one of our all-time fave Bee Gees songs, titled “You Were Not Supposed to Message it Through!”

A quick turnaround, but only 5 of us as Alfie (really our best fake Bee Gee) is away 🔥👊💪🙏🎶

"I Put Up Tariffs" - Marsh Family adaptation of Bob Marley and the Wailers, "I Shot the Sheriff" YouTube video by Marsh Family

This is "I Put Up Tariffs" 🎶- perhaps the first ever parody song (?) to make reference to the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. It's based on #BobMarley's legendary "I Shot the Sheriff" and sung from the point of view of #Trump, unleashing his frenzy of #tariffs on the USA & the world.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Hats off to @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social and sod off to Elon Musk. Here's a 🎶 parody of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" about Musk's recent spate of diarrhoea tweets about the UK, called "Turd on a Wire" (with an attempted nod to the wonderful k.d. lang version ❤️).

This from the co-owners of GB News says what many have suspected ....GB News is a political project

To be an Ofcom regulated broadcaster the station is specifically not allowed to be politically biased. It can have shows which lean one way or another, but the balance must exist across a schedule.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike.

I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it.

Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

While they’re at it they should ban psychology and psychiatry lest anyone find out they voted for a narcissistic psychopath

This is insane.

Interesting how businesspeople who didn’t inherit and bankrupt companies actually understand and take seriously the laws of supply and demand. 🤔

I'd love to get them an etymology dictionary, but I think I'd lose any credibility ...for now 😆 🤣

TIA 🤓 JP
