Life is sorrowful. How do you live with that? You realize the eternal within yourself. You disengage, and yet, re-engage.~Joseph Campbell

Yikes! Mike D's serving us Silver Apples for dinner! tidal.com/album/529877...

Two-tier policing does indeed exist, my brother, but in a racial profiling and rozzers looking the other way at Boris Johnson getting liquored up at Downing Street during lockdown kind of way, and definitely not how you mean it.

hey quick question, am I having a stroke

An epidemic of the literal, how awful! Sounds a lot like 2026.

I've just signed my name calling for the government to investigate Brits who have returned from serving in the IDF - you should too! @DeclassifiedUK.org secure.declassifieduk.org/page/189081/...

Very good...

❌🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Fans have noticed that the WRONG names were shown for the English national team during their pre World Cup friendly.

The managed decline of everything is getting very tiresome. The glasshouse should be a feature, an attraction, a place to get a coffee and - importantly - use the toilets. Amazing how the most basic of human needs get ignored. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why are we seeing so much public, collective anger right now? Often, it's a cover for collective grief. Dr. Sumit Anand joins me to trace the thread between ancient myth, bread riots, and modern cultural rage. Link to the episode below.

I suspect this might be the best photo I ever take

I developed a theory that all those endless videos of robots falling down and not getting up carry a message of some sort. They're a warning.

Played behind closed doors in a completely different country because the human response to Israel's deep shame isn't permissable. Well, take that.

While we're allowing them to spread hate, they want to stop us from spreading butter!

This made me chuckle...

After a week (is that all) with this superb album, I'm convinced that it is to BOC what Twin Peaks: The Return was to David Lynch - the definitive statement, the culmination of everything that came before, the magnum opus. It'll keep divulging secrets in decades to come, I am sure.

Dear England, could you please seek immediate help, you're going completely fucking insane, but it's not too late to stop it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I sometimes wonder if the Celtic board know which club they are managing, what the fans are about, and what the history is. They've fucked up MASSIVELY recently, but this? He managed Maccabi Tel Aviv!!! Jesus wept. www.heraldscotland.com/sport/261679...

what did i say

I foolishly missed out on MARINA tickets for Glasgow and it sold out, but picked up a resale ticket yesterday and it'll be fucking awesome, so be happy for me and rejoice, my friends! youtu.be/lXEQRVJRors?...

Jung’s life and work are preoccupied with the ‘dark side’ of humanity. It is not that Jung felt that we should celebrate darkness in a satanic way or become devil worshippers. But he felt we should enter into the darkness and find out what is inside it.~David Tacey, 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘛𝘰 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘨

A bit OTT this t-shirt, but I'm delighted Stevie Clarke has signed up for the job again! Can he get a tune out of Grant Hanley at the world cup though? He's not the messiah.

@paulsandars.bsky.social , these are really good introductions, concise and easy to read without diluting the philosophy. Also follow @sophiacycles.bsky.social ,she helps to modernise Jung and take him out of the stuffy library!

Happy Boards Of Canada eve, to those who celebrate 🥳 youtu.be/74NluS3jzTo?...

Why is our political class not serving us? If not us, then who are they serving? Andy Fucking Burnham won't buck the trend.

They are building a UFC arena on the White House lawn, because the world has gone insane, and there are chatbots in our skulls, and our eyes have been crossed out with black ink. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/they-are-b...

Jung pointed out absolute necessity for feminine values without which there would be no perception of Self. This is especially true in our time when everything is geared toward achievement. One of the best antidotes to that is to read Lao-tzu: “When you do nothing, everything is done.”~Helen Luke

Lisa's gone viral! Sometimes a sentence sums things up.

"There's an elephant in the room", said Alan Milburn re NEET's, "and it's neoliberalism, an inhuman economic system that has disproportionately negative impacts on younger people, and even that is just a symptom of the main problem, which is that modernity is making people ill", he didn't continue.

I know you're all very excited, but Palace's team for the final is out, and it's near enough ideal, Chris Richards absence excepted, so I'm feeling... No, I'm not going to say it. I'm not. www.cpfc.co.uk/news/first-t...

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

"Fascism is just a kind of meaningless wickedness, an aberration, 'mass sadism', the sort of thing that would happen if you suddenly let loose an asylumful of homicidal maniacs."

Psychologically, the dragon is one's own binding of oneself to one's ego, and you're captured in your own dragon cage. And the problem of the psychiatrist is to break that dragon, open him up, so that you can have a larger field of relationships. ~Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

Incrementalism will not save us. Systems change or bust.

“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.”― John Muir, My First Summer in the Sierra

Democracy, I recall someone saying, is a process of addition - we add rights, we include more. That a minority can drive the removal of rights, as they have done with trans people, should be of concern to us all. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t...

It’s the genocide, stupid

I just saw The Ex in Glasgow, and they were extraordinary! Nothing prepares you for this 3 guitar barrage, the interplay between them all, the way they catch you unawares with a simple riff and melody and then plunge you into beautiful chaos. And then they pull back and you're released.
