getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

National Trust types! It's AGM time, do vote for the suggested candidates & block the right-wing, 'anti-woke', mysteriously-funded Restore Trust, who are against eg rewilding and discussing colonial history / LGBT+ heritage (last week my sister saw OOTW in an NT shop, would it be if they had power?)

How much will it take for people to give up Sp*tify? First they JUST ripped off artists, then they REALLY ripped off independent artists & flooded the playlists with their own AI nonsense, then we found out they funded weapons, now ICE ads… you can’t say you weren’t warned they might be baddies

Trailer for the new 4K restoration of Jacob’s Ladder. God it’s one of the most beautifully photographed films ever.

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.” It existed yesterday and is gone today.

Always great to see new excellent stuff coming from Kernow 👍

Such a beautiful sad terrifying film

It's a finding the tunes from the chapter of a novel kind of day

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

I'm loving the occasional title coming up as I wade through the Aubrey and Maturin books

Stone Club at The Social Sept 1st with @soundsofslomo.com plus @stephenomalley74.bsky.social @jjstannard.bsky.social Slomo & @matthewmshaw.bsky.social discussing drones and stones & @stonelands.bsky.social on Stone Lands & @alexandertucker.bsky.social live thesocial.seetickets.com/event/stone-...

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area. Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

A superb piece of journalism in The Observer: it seems like the one of the sacred texts of Nature Writing (TM) is not quite as much of an unflinchingly honest read as claimed observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Huge thanks to @markopilkington.bsky.social @roseio.bsky.social @kempernorton.bsky.social MAP 71, @smackmusic.bsky.social & Elkka Nyoukis. Psychotropic swarms, skewed bewitchments, end-to-end mutant moments summoned. Minds were blown. Hon mention to @nothingistrue.net & all attendees. More soon.

Can't wait for this on Saturday – Teleplasmiste are on vibrant form - we'll hope to see a few of you in Brighton...

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

What radicalized you?

Without industrial musician Boyd Rice & three of his pals the writings of dangerous Neo-Nazi James Mason would have remained obscure, but thanks in part to their help, his work has become a 21st Century bible for terrorists fixated on murder. Analysis on tQ today. thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

Hey it's probably a little early for this, but I figured I should do this. I'm getting bottom surgery in June and I'm going to need some funds to cover expenses while I can't work. Feel free to share or give if you want to or can. now.https://gofund.me/de4b397f

Thanks for lovely words from The Quietus about our latest x
