i always take a moment to appreciate good book cover design

#MusicChallenge #ScavengerHunt2 Day 9- Found Under A Bed The Automatic - 'Monster' The NME praised the track, saying "it's the catchiest indie hit of the summer, boasting a hook that could disembowel a whale"

ANYHOOO... Indie music? Live? Post punk? Massive archive (ooer!). Gosh... archive.org/details/aada...

Sounds similar to Hitler invasions of, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark and Norway. He didn't stop there, I suspect Netanyahu won't either.

Claims we have no power to impact what happens are nevertheless an intervention in what will happen, by discouraging participation, by encouraging passivity, surrender, acquiescence. If you insist that a given outcome is inevitable, you are lobbying against resistance.

Private Equity is a parasite on the body public...

NEW: Artemis II's launch is exciting for many reasons. Here's a weird one: aboard the spacecraft are USB-sized "organ chips"—living pieces of the astronauts' bone marrow that will test how each of them reacts to dangerous cosmic radiation. 🤯 Me @supercluster.com www.supercluster.com/editorial/ar...

Karen Hoyland, 35, who believes both vaccines and having friends cause autism, actively encourages her six-year-old son Finley to get potentially deadly measles for reasons too stupid to print.

Hand-wringing cosplay from Labour Friend of Israel. Pathetic.

There can be only… two?! I’ve written a new official book on Highlander for the 40th anniversary - plenty I couldn’t get for the first book inc new interviews, unseen photos, deleted scene coverage… even lifelong fans haven’t heard a lot of this. Published by Titan Books on 1st September!

We're supplying the damn weapons ffs

Nobody assumes the CEO of Toyota must be some sort of brilliant engineer, but we have for some reason developed this collective notion that being a successful tech CEO must make you a tech genius.

Having a pre-theatre ('High Life, The Musical' dontcha know) dinner at Mother India, and who should be stood immediately inside the restaurant but Hugh Fraser, aka Hastings from Poirot off of the telly. #celebspotting

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge Day 8: It smells interesting Strawberry Alarm Clock - 'Incense and Peppermints' Initially released as a B-side by Thee Sixpence, 1 of 2 bands that merged into SAC. And a 16-year-old friend of the band from a group called Shapes of Sound, sings lead vocals. Wild!

A reminder, Israeli Patsy Keir Starmer refused to condemn Trump for threatening to inflict nuclear holocaust of Iran By far by a country mile, one of the weakest PM this country has been dumped with who fellatios Trump like nobody else Can't wait for this washed out moron to be out of power

Really looking forward to this. If you are in London on Saturday 18th April, come along. Robert, Rory & Greg’s Plan to Get Us Off Gas. Hosted by Imogen Bhogal. It will be fascinating! www.eventbrite.com/e/everything...

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

Britain's Starmer decides it's safe to come out of his bunker after hiding like a coward from the British people and banning rap artistes from UK soil instead of banning the US military using us as a staging post to conduct an illegal war and war crimes

Baptised on this day in 1631, Cornelis de Heem was a still-life painter associated with both Flemish Baroque and Dutch Golden Age painting, and was the son of another famous still-life painter Jan Davidsz. 'Still Life' (c. 1665) #art #arthistory

this would be such a great Blue Peter 'make'

Reminder.

Yup. Our version of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I really just fucking hate all the handwringing dickheads crying about not upsetting America by saying we should boot out US troops, just fucking useless twats

Arguments over whether taxing billionaires would pay for x,y or z are irrelevant. Billionaires cannot be allowed to horde this much wealth because if they do they're able to completely warp society to their whims. Society can only function if there are no billionaires.

Labour is cooked. They're about to follow the Tories into obscurity.

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge Day 7: Something Square Mud - 'Nite on the Tiles' David Holmes of the Dorset Evening Echo described this song as a "real rocker that's great for idiot dancing", but felt it was "maybe a little heavy for us popsters".

How the hell are there still people in the UK that think Starmer isn't complicit in this madness?!? This is - I assume - a politically aware councillor who seems to have forgotten that US planes use the UK as Airstrip One to attack Iran, & UK forces have also prosecuted "defensive" measures.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Imagine a UK where solutions aren't limited by the learned helplessness of Neoliberal believers like Creasy. A previous incarnation of Labour created the NHS in an austere and broken post-WW2 era. But no, everything is just too difficult for these fools. Austerity is ALWAYS a policy choice.

So our NHS workers have been offered a pay rise of 3.3% Our NHS doctors have been offered a pay rise of 3.5% But all MPs have awarded a pay rise of 5%.. ..and as for members of the House of Lords?.. Their tax-free attendance allowance will rise by 5% to £390 a day! 😤 #Labour 🔥🌹 #doctorsStrike 💙

He doesn’t have dementia, it’s kind of insulting to people with dementia to keep saying that. He is massively capable compared to an actual dementia sufferer, that narrative really pisses me off. He is just an awful human who has fallen upwards to the point he can break the world for everyone.

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

My awesome wife.

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

I dusted off my journalistic skills and summoned up lots and lots of courage to write a piece for @glasgowbell.bsky.social about online dating when you’re (nearly) decrepit… www.glasgowbell.co.uk/the-down-and...

Markwayne Mullin floats that his first major move as DHS Secretary might be to massively disrupt international air travel into and out of the United States by pulling customs officers out of cities like New York and Los Angeles, a move that would have international ramifications.

The US military has 22 sites in the UK. Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran. This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more. The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.

#MusicChallenge #ScavengerHunt2 Day 6- Found In A Toolbox Pink Floyd - 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene' There were 2 takes of the song for the live film Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii in October 1971. Contrary to the film's title, the song was recorded at Studio Europasinor, Paris.

There is no reason to the virulent transphobia which is being "normalised" in the UK and elsewhere. Hateful, pathetic, individuals who claim their obsessive "gender critical" ideology is "protecting children", by denying children accessibility and causing harm. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

An important read

There's a delightful show on Cbeebies called 'Get Well Soon' where a doctor explains medical procedures in simple and reassuring ways to a series of puppets for the benefit of the children watching. Lots of clear-cut issues dramatised plainly. I'm watching The Pitt season 2, dunno why I bring it up
