JIm Ratcliffe is a scumbag. More than that he's a hypocrite. And dangerous. Words. open.substack.com/pub/nqatpod/...

Ratcliffe is, quite obviously, factually, morally & intellectually wrong about immigration. But his racist comments will be 'both-sided' everywhere because people who simply don't like seeing non-white faces aren't ashamed to say so anymore.

Fuck you Jim

Yes it has Jim, and is all the better place for doing so…

Every American needs to watch this:

What happened in Minnesota today was not a mistake. It's a deliberate and inevitable outcome of ICE operations - part of the authoritarian script for state violence against citizens. Regime thugs target minorities Regime thugs kill protesters Regime exploits larger protests to escalate repression

Gov. Tim Walz to Minnesotans: “I’ll continue to plead and ask you for peace and I know the answer is, ‘You ask us for peace, and we give it, and we get shot in the face on the streets coming out of a doughnut shop.’ We cannot give them what they want.”

It's time to speak up.

Tommy and Jon react to new footage taken by the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good.

There are loads of United pods around, but @gooddayspod.bsky.social is by far my favourite. Especially Justin’s graphic description of the difference between United and Liverpool in this weeks pod :-)

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Very pleased to present spreads / images from an upcoming new book I designed for British Culture Archive. The book, “Original Ravers” is an essential visual chronicle of a snapshot of time at The Hacienda…

My typographic response to “To NkRoachment: Yarbles” —“Wipe the tears from your eyes, son. All the good times are past and gone”—- #fallfriday

United are awful…

I go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up. Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.

Few, if any, better 1, 2, 3 albums 🙏

New identity for @britcultarchive.bsky.social Devised by me, Paul Ingrid at BCA-the dots show a new cultural map of Britain. The idea came from conversation about who and where we are, how images represent us, and how to visualise the work the archive does. #photography #graphicdesign

Nice surprise in the post arrived just now. Beautiful catalogue for the recent @sea_london x @eye magazine_ event. The publication showcases the many typographic contributions over the years covered in this essential publication.

Nice addition to my small collection of Munich 1972 graphics. Good to pick up a football ticket too. The game was Soviet Union Vs Sudan. Result, 2-1 to the Soviet Union, they eventually shared the Bronze medal with East Germany. #graphicdesign #typography #municholympics1972 #otlaicher #football
