Throwback Monday: when ZOOM gave me a fake digital moustache for an interview with King Gizzard, and would not let me remove it. Numerous members of the band now sport moustaches: coincidence or causality?

Oof. RIP the very very great Jimmy Cliff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=doWW...

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’. It’s Russian.

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.

When I feel overcome by stress from my own anxieties or from the world's increasing horrors, one way to feel a little better is listening to "Aztec" Credited to Bo Diddley, the instrumental was written & performed by the 21 year old guitarist in his band, Peggy Jones www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzQi...

It’s good night from me. And it’s good night from him.

Only ever owned the Stone Roses' s/t on cassette a mate at school taped for me, really like the 60s popness of it but I was (and remain) too much of a grunge/hip-hop kid for it to sink too deep. But I Am The Resurrection is just a masterpiece, isn't it?

Was just uploading this morning’s breakfast soundtrack and this is what instagram suggested for the accompanying music. Absolutely fucking not. Is something truly “viral” if it’s being pushed on you by a multi-billion dollar corporation?

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

Star Trek is always so relatable. I’m human and I also don’t have any money…

Hail Mary looks great, absolutely the sort of movie I would see on a plane and adore, but omg the reworked Champagne Supernova on the soundtrack is like the sloppiest turd slipping into my bourbon on the rocks. No thank you.

I'm sure many people have mentioned this, but I think it needs to be mentioned again: women do not have yearbooks. Children do. Because yearbooks contain photos of high school students. Or younger.

40 years ago today the world was introduced to a small boy and his best friend. Happy birthday Calvin & Hobbes.

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

If the next one learns from this, it's a good thing. It will hopefully remind politicians to serve the public good, and not pacify the minority who loudly misdiagnose problems to service their bigotry and/or personal gain

"The era of permanent protection is over" Is this Labour government really saying it was wrong in principle to let these refugees of the last 75 years to stay, settle and become British - and they believe that should NEVER happen again in principle or practice? www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiuR...

Labour should attempt the radical policy of doing what they think is right, and using their parliamentary majority to achieve it. Nothing they’ve done whilst in power could reflect a fraction as well on them as that, and yet they’re determined to fuck it up in service of completely lost voters.

You cant parachute asylum seekers into deprived areas, in completely inappropriate housing, then say those migrants are 'dividing our country'. You divided the country because you can't organise a basic service and process claims in a timely way

The best way to understand what is actually “driving the small boats” is “if something carried a one in a 100 risk of death, would you do it it it gave you ten more years of healthy life?”

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

can’t really express the level of contempt i have for what is just a form of solipsism. “the things that annoy me are the only things that exist and also the worst things imaginable”

Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness is a prayer.

If you are at Thought Bubble tomorrow this is the hot new comic to track down

I did not previously know that this existed!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncMP...

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

New series of Black MIrror's a bit bleak

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

It is indeed. And this marvellous cover version destroys me every single time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi7p...

X is in clear + systemic breach of its legal duties in the UK to remove unlawful content from its platform. Proof: when X users abuse + harass others with the racial slur "paki", X reporting system defends the racist abuse in more than 90% of cases reported. A new thread documenting this.

this gets reposted a lot, but truth be told trump has never really wriggled out of anything. what actually happens is that other people passively or actively support him

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

So many great reasons to buy the new @mojomagazine.bsky.social - Tom Doyle on The Smiths! David Hutcheon on Mulatu Astatke! Keith Cameron on Sugar! Bob Mehr on Dion! And me bidding farewell to D’Angelo and interviewing Questlove about how making Sly Lives! messed with his mind. Out now!
