Another way to protect British interests is to not get dragged into the dumbest World War ever. Imagine if we, the public who pay for this shit, actually had any say about whether we travel to distant lands to blow up humans! Imagine we had any actual power! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dangerous territory. You start sharing with a couple and then suddenly you’re in bed with her while he sits in a chair wanking. Or him while she’s at work.

The simplest definition of trauma is that it’s a life experience we didn’t have the mental and/or physical and/or emotional capacity to deal with and the psyche was wounded in the process.~James Hillman, The Essential James Hillman

CNNRY prints are in the house and currently being lovingly signed by the genius who painted the picture- me. If you’d like a copy you can order one from my website christopherjamesart.bigcartel.com Connery by @www.johnbleasdale.com is now available from plumeriapics.co.uk and he’s a genius too.

"We can always tell" woman fails to identify Chinese Intelligence Asset she married.

You either believe in universal human rights, or you don’t.

The term for that is White supremacy and any coverage of Reform that does not include that term is complicit in whitewashing White supremacy. Sometimes things really are that simple. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

People misuse YouTube for podcasts and video essays these days when what it was really designed for was stuff like this; youtu.be/bUJciKTmc20?...

I've been thinking I should repost things a little more often, especially total winners like this.

Audiobooks don’t really count as reading? Think again. news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor... Education scholars say rigor, learning same as paper, stigma an unnecessary hurdle

Glasgow's murdering its own art scene. Ignorant bastards. Will it be more student accommodation? Another electrical fire and a modern glass box? www.glasgowbell.co.uk/trongate-103...

*sigh* Fuck this government. Our work is not theirs to give away.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4

Harrison Ford is such a dude.

I'm not new to Steely Dan, I was raised listening to them, but the other week I was mentally paralysed trying to recall the tracklist of Nightfly by Donald Fagen, in class, didn't take in a word, needed to complete it. Took it as a sign. Anyway, listening to this and by fuck they're class.

The weaker the consciousness of a person is, the more he or she is likely to get fixated in projection, even when the reality has long departed from it, and he or she will remain captive to the power of history, the agenda of longing, and the wheel of repetition.~James Hollis

My son died when his tank drove into a river in a country he had no business being in and was blowing the absolute fuck out of. Murdering people who are in a completely different country 20-odd years later and have nothing to do with any of this feels like revenge for some reason. Amazing.

‘We’re going into a dark place’: Brit awards artists voice alarm over Reform UK’s rise “Everything is politics But more than ever, art is politics because you don’t get to make art in a fascist state Fascism is on the rise in every single country in the world” www.theguardian.com/music/2026/f...

We know that every time a human being makes real progress in consciousness, makes this evolutionary jump toward a higher level of consciousness, the whole world for him has changed; relationships change and the outlook on the outer world and on his own situation changes~von Franz

As an Iranian in exile as some call it, I want nothing more than a regime change in Iran. But what I don't want is my country destroyed, people killed, and all looted by Americans! #FuckYourWar

While I still have faith in divine purpose, I am increasingly sobered by the depths of unconsciousness to be overcome and the kind of inner strength necessary to prevail.~Marion Woodman, Conscious Femininity

So we’re worried that Iran MIGHT develop nuclear weapons but we’re not worried about countries with nuclear weapons that actively committing genocide? Something seems wrong with our logic box. 📦 🤔🤷🏻

Saw this at the Citz in Glasgow and - hahaha - nothing happened. But it didn't happen very well, and it passed the time, which doesn't really exist. So that's something.

In Platonic language, the task of the human being is to "remember" more than his or her personal experience. The larger task is to remember the lost wisdom or legacy of the human soul, and the origins of consciousness from its spiritual source.~David Tacey

Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.~Terence McKenna

"Had a vote on SNP motion calling for immediate ceasefire been allowed to happen, every Labour MP who takes cash & gifts from the apartheid state would have had their vote against the motion recorded in Hansard and made public, to the fury of their constituents" via The Ragged Trousered Philanderer4

This is a beautiful record by Alphabet Dust. I love astral jazz and hypnotic drones that I often find in bands like Earth and Sunn 0))), and they're here but without the harshness of the latter. It's detailed and expensive, yet contained. alphabetdust.bandcamp.com/album/over-h...

After what effectively amounted to a two year hiatus (apart from one public performance, you had to be there) Alphabet Dust returns to Bandcamp with a new album of fuzzy warbles for your listening pleasure.

Fuck this guy, Misfits were an exceptionally good and important band while this clown was an infant. For me he's not tainted the early stuff, the Damned-esque and hardcore punk Misfits at all. Waste man. BBC News - Singer's gigs axed over link with US far-right group www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

5 Live heading over to a Reform press conference where Farage will announce his potential cabinet. Why? A short list in the regular news bulletin would be enough. So I stop listening.

Rupert Lowe has received an enthusiastic endorsement from Martin Sellner, the Austrian founder of Generation Identity. Sellner was an active neo-nazi as a young man, getting convicted for putting a swastika on a synagogue, to show support for David Irving, but says he left that scene behind.

Give this a listen if you're interested in thinking a bit more about the highly disordered, dangerous minds that are in the process of destroying democracy - and their spineless enablers (did a name come to mind there). pca.st/podcast/fe87...

Remember how I spent the last ten years saying the problem is the Thatcherite consensus going kaboom forever in 2008, and the entire political/media class hunkering down in a defensive circle around its flaming corpse, all guns pointed outwards? The editor of the New Statesman seems to agree.

In Queens Park in Glasgow's increasingly queer Southside.

A brilliant explanation of authoritarian follower thinking. This is important!

As tragic as it undoubtedly is when school children are stabbed - and of course it should be reported - while unscrupulous exploitative politicians are punting myths about increasing crime, perhaps the news could give a little context? Two children were stabbed but over 10 million weren't. Good odds

For the love of God, man, if you don't bugger off soon the country you love will be handed over to fascists. England is crashing in slow motion but there's still time to stop it if you let someone else take the wheel and choose a different road. www.bbc.com/news/live/c9...
