Very good work from Scottish Ballet here (from their Facebook account)

This isn’t a brag, I genuinely don’t understand how it’s ended up being just me, a 47-year-old bloke from a Sunderland council estate with no money, who’s got the ambition, ideas & motivation to put on a show like Boundaries There are nearly 300,000 people living in Sunderland! Don't get it..

If you're struggling to understand a David Lynch film bear this in mind!

Love is the most dangerous and uncertain element in life; and because we do not want to be uncertain, because we do not want to be in danger, we live in the mind. A man who loves is dangerous, and we do not want to live dangerously. ~Krishnamurti

Re Pluribus, did anyone else laugh out loud at the fact she had a set of golf clubs in her cupboard? Yeah, figures.

When Tommy Robinson celebrates Labour policy, the party deserves to die

The boy's a legend.

Are we the baddies?

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So this food says “only natural ingredients” when what I ordered was the eldritch sandwich?

Anyone who undergoes a development of consciousness is immediately assailed by a sense of abandonment and excommunication from most of the values that formerly sustained one. The old kingdom dissolves beneath and one is left to feel exiled and without any container for life.~Robert A. Johnson

Caller on Nicky Campbell this morning: "None of us were there, we will never know what happened, and the Jeffrey Epstein is dead, this is a plot against Trump". Yeah, mate, sorry, if things worked like that any defendant could ask the judge if they were there. "No? Well I call for a mistrial!"

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

"Neoliberalism was a technique of power. It did its job as a mechanism for profit, securing low-cost access to resources and cheap labour. It was never really about growth, efficiency or enlarging the pie for everyone."

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Netflix really is shit, isn't it?

These people make me feel sick. England, please, as soon as possible, get Labour out of power and out of business for good. www.thenational.scot/news/2560388...

I’m fascinated by this theory but it might answer the question “Whatever happened to serial killers?”

After lots of well-guided speculation, we now have proof that far-right propagandists in Portland have been directly coordinating—through at least text message—with ICE agents. In this case, Chelly got permission from a "Travis D." inside to stand on a half-wall off limits to protesters.

Saw someone with the same teeth as me at the coincidentist.

All relationships, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴, begin in projection." ~James Hollis, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵

I think the problem here is that once you’ve e.g. told left wing voters that you despise them, ripped off Enoch Powell in your migrant crackdown speech and literally facilitated genocide, it’ll be hard to convince people that you actually like them and you aren’t into racism and murders.

The first friend I recall having was Shoshana, my neighbour. We had a thin wire fence between our gardens. My parents were communists and athiests, hers were Jewish, older, I suppose now had escaped Nazi Europe. They left for Israel at some point and I missed her. My first crush?

It's often difficult for men - and women - to think in terms of masculine and feminine as aspects of every human, and perhaps we'll find a more universal language, but we could all benefit from finding a balance between what society considers these to be. A whole human.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

The Outer Worlds 2 soundtrack is really impressive, with this one really standing out, an original song by Jim Dooley that I would love no matter where I heard it. Give it a wee listen! open.spotify.com/track/4ASvqg...

Everybody look at Stormzy the wobbly puppy! See, the world isn't all that bad!

Anyone buying one of Tesla's cars now is a proper mug. You're actually working and handing over a large percentage of your wages to the richest man in history when there are less Nazi alternatives! Tesla owners deserve relentless mockery. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This [im my opinion] is a breach of human rights. "Pat McFadden, minister for work and pensions, said that in place of the current system, where doctors sign patients off sick, there was a case to shift to a system of assessments by non-medical practitioners." www.removepaywall.com/search?url=h...

Watching The Blair Witch Project again, a work of art. “and see this monument I have set between us. They stand between us as witnesses of our vows. I will never pass this pile of stones to harm you, and you must never pass these stones or this monument to harm me."

This is why 42 million Americans are being starved. Trump raped Katie when she was 13, and a girl "Maria", who was 12. He raped them violently. Every American should know this. Don't look away. The victims deserve justice, or at least truth. youtube.com/watch?v=gnib...

The UK Labour Party’s war on Queer ppl is such that about 26% of trans ppl are planning to leave the UK. Many are coming to Ireland to escape Labour’s nastiness. Details on Brits rights to live in Ireland are given below.

Piers Morgan, who bills himself as a 'defender of women' going on about how he likes to smell like a man who has been accused of five rapes and sexual assaults and admitted to one of them in legal documents. Man's entire team cancelled a tour to the US because the FBI wanted to question him.

Monty Python shit

Im now at the stage where i may stop buying Carol Decker records.

Take a guess which paper. Go on, I bet you’re right.

For me, perfection is a patriarchal word that splits everything into contraries: black or white. You are then living in constant conflict, and integration is not possible. Even the language is split, so that I find people who cannot endure words such as masculine and feminine.~Marion Woodman

Twiggy Before a Painting by Bridget Riley, 1967, by Bert Stern.

Good, but I’d add: aside from Brexit itself, this is one of the key issues where most of the blame falls on Britain’s utterly poisonous media outlets, because demands to leave the Convention did not arise organically from the public, nor did it spring from our awful political parties.

Britain is not in the grip of mass violence. The Cambridgeshire train stabbings were horrific - and incredibly rare. Your odds of being attacked by a stranger are much lower than they were. Here's the facts! 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/britain-is...

Well that's me told

Just seen the new John Lewis ad, a middle class family spend all Christmas eve trying to wrap an awkward present and failing, just as it strikes midnight there's the sound of bells, a thump from the roof and black oil pours from their eyes, ears and mouth as they scream Zalgo! He comes! Steps plays.
