Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

Does this still count if I get a viking funeral by being yeeted onto some billionaire's yacht in the form of a human molotov cocktail?

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

I honestly believe everyone needs to stop and consider how far @suedehq.bsky.social have raised the bar for older bands in their second existence. Antidepressants is a 10/10, and so were their three albums before it. Suede sound like they're winding UP, not down. And you won't see a better live act.

I’d like to see more work done to preserve the site of the ancient palace of the Roman Emperors so that many more generations can visit and enjoy it. Which is why I, like many others #SupportPalatineAction

The movie ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ opened 50 years ago today at London’s Rialto Theatre 👄

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

I saw someone genuinely irritated that Taylor Swift fans are having some moments of joy these last couple of days despite the horrors of the world, I want to reassure that person that when the Taylor Swift fans are done having their joy the horrors will still be there, don't worry, they can catch up

This takes about one minute to do, it’s extremely simple, just a few simple questions, and you don’t need to be an artist to do it, it’s open to the general public. And the far right are trying to load it, so please take a moment and fill it out

This is a billionaire-funded Tony Blair lobbying project being funnelled unchallenged onto the front page of a national newspaper. 1/

Spent the first of two weekends this summer at music festivals in Laois. For a small fest, forest fest is near perfect, they’ve some kinks need fixing but compared to where they were in 23, this was a fantastic weekend.

If theres a better way to finish a festival weekend than with Billy Bragg, I don’t want to hear it.

Tom Lehrer, taken in his prime.

The only survivor of the original internet that didn’t turn into a tech oligarch billion$ business and it’s going to be blocked by a govt that thinks AI is going to save it.

Buffy is so old there were only 103 named elements, we’re at 118 now. (Yes I pause every show that has a periodic table to see if its period accurate)

Music festivals really are funny, a chance to see so many middle aged people dressing like they’re spring lambs and a moving like it too cos absolutely wankered. Also men who should know better buying “funny hats” and their entire personality now becoming the hat.

Fascism For First Time Founders Over the last year or so I've seen a disturbing tendency in tech/startup/VC worlds to buy into the neoreactionary view that for startups to be successful they need to get on board the Trump train. Yes, there are the big name folks who everyone knows about and who…

obviously this is mental in and of itself but man alive it really does suck extra hard when you think about all the ACTUAL CRIMES the police just isn't investigating, because of "lack of resources"

Finished Mr. Bobby's prototype I'll list preorders for a couple of these later tonight on my Etsy

Newsletter: It's time for a radical new approach to tech CEOs: mocking them, because they talk like idiots and provide little value to society outside of their dedication to shareholder value. They sound stupid, they do nothing, and it's time to fight back. www.wheresyoured.at/make-fun-of-...

My limited-edition Alien cat charity print has plateaued, and I’d really love to get @CeliaHammond Animal Sanctuary the funds they deserve. You can see how much we raised with the last charity print! If you’d like to donate and receive a numbered giclée print, here’s how www.infinitebacon.com

“In 2033 it will seem utterly baffling how a bunch of tech folks lost their minds over text generators.” This is from more than a year ago but it’s a good accompaniment to the Emily Bender interview in @financialtimes.com today www.ft.com/content/6482...

As soon as there’s the slightest bit of blowback, this fucktard will nuke Tehran.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

You know the rule...

yep! unpaywalled:

Well there's something you don't see every day

What to expect next: – Escalation framed as “restoring order” – Mass arrests under vague pretexts – Targeting of protest organisers and journalists – Expansion of emergency powers – Demonisation of dissent as “terrorism”
