'H' as the symbol for Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe is starting to feel like it should stand for Hypocrisy instead...

'H' as the symbol for Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe is starting to feel like it should stand for Hypocrisy instead...

Surely, when the richest man on earth urges the working class to 'fight' from behind the safety of a video camera a thousand miles away from the batons, pepper spray and prison time - surely then, you know you’re being played like a puppet. Surely...

The Right have got leaders. The Left have got committees. I think this is a genuine problem that needs to be addressed if we're going to offer effective opposition to the behemoth before us.

Meanwhile in Gaza...

How about we make a list of reliable news and information sources in this age of noise, misinformation, algorithms & propaganda? Where are some good places to get accurate facts, impartial reporting & expert insights on the issues of our times? Comment yours below! ✊️

So Israel has now bombed Qatar. That's how things are now. Israel can just drop bombs anywhere, any time and it's just kinda become what Israel does. In what fucking reality does any of this make sense?

To say that Keir Starmer is the worst leader in the Labour Party's history is being generous to him...

5 years old and sadly seems more accurate today. Zero hour contracts Billionaires pay no tax The homeless, immigrants And poor get attacked Cos the 1% need Divide & rule Not unions, homes, Hospitals & schools Whilst the Police State creeps Like the rising seas youtu.be/dX4GkepUdfo?...

🔎 Los problemas que hacen de la industria musical un lugar que “oscurece tu alma, tu pasión y tu salud” ▶️ El artista y escritor @jameskennedy.bsky.social desmonta en 'Loud Medicine' el glamur del mundo de la música y deja al descubierto sus debilidades

Just checking in: how's everyone doing? I don't post much online anymore, mostly because I don't feel I've got much to add to the already overwhelming tsunami of noise. But I do enjoy connecting with everyone here so how are you doing? Times are precarious right now, I hope you're all holding up OK

Whilst I vehemently disagree with almost everything he says, there can be no questioning his impact on culture and politics aside, the man is a punk rock icon - so beers were drank and politics avoided. Also in the picture is John Lydon.

When is a war crime not a war crime?

How long do you think it'll be before we start seeing massive promo campaigns for swanky beachside holidays in 'Israel' and how soon after that will people start saying things like "oh let it go, we had a wonderful time at Trump Resort Gaza. The Palestine thing was years ago, let it go".

My chat with Sarah Wilkinson of the now banned, Palestine Action is still online. Its sickening to think that things have gotten even worse since this interview 🇵🇸 youtu.be/MM2pkbR6Ub4?...

The more they try to silence us, the louder we come. Crank up this selection of defiant artists & fuel your resistance with rhythm and rage. These are some of the artists speaking out about Gaza & the return of fascism. Turn it up! ✊️✊️✊️ open.spotify.com/playlist/2Gf...

Imagine being more outraged by something a singer said at Glastonbury than you are about an actual genocide...

Netanyahu accusing Iran of targeting civilian homes in Israel whilst he's orchestrating an actual genocide on livestream... I have no words.

Silence is compliance. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Anyone else notice the stunningly twisted use of language in the media's telling of today's terrible incident in Liverpool? That the man's car 'collided with pedestrians'. Looks to me like he ploughed through the crowd intentionally. If he was Muslim, the whole Islamic world would be to blame now

Don't fear the Reaper. Fear the regrets when he comes a'knocking. Those un-spoken words, those un-built bridges, the un-felt feelings & the dormant dreams. The Reaper is there to remind us that this ain't a rehearsal. I guess I'm trying to say: have a bloody great weekend everyone! ✊ #MementoMori

Who's your favourite philosopher and why? Mine is this guy, Albert Camus. His call to rebel against the meaningless of life and to live it fully as an act of defiance against rational nihilism, ticks a lot of boxes for me. Who's yours? #Philosophy #AlbertCamus
