Bloody hell.

It's been two years since we lost the great Steve Albini - the last time I interviewed him was in 2019 and it was typically great to speak to him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA2t...

Absolutely incredible news. Huge congratulations to Anthony - our first ever member of the Senedd!!!! 💚🥳

Well, UK... that was something! Apparently Brexit wasn't self-immolating enough.

Merseyside Reform UK election candidate who called the Holocaust a "hoax" and "propaganda" has been elected in the local elections. Disgusting people www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

MEGA (Make England Great Again) is rising and it should frighten us all. From Farage Camps to Local Election results everything is going Reform's angry way and Britain's decent majority need to step up now. Inaction is no longer an option. Me for @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/farage-camps...

"replete with grace & depth on a subject that would resonate with anyone who has experienced the grief of losing a loved one" Paul F Cook reviews With Sun's single 'Go Lightly', which has the "serene feeling of weightlessness" on a song written after the death of her mother. @paulfcook.bsky.social

NEW: Green Party wins Hackney Mayoralty. First time Hackney Mayor hasn’t been Labour.

Bexley is where I grew up and it would not have surprised me at all if Reform had swept it so this is pleasing

Of course he does.

Boards Of Canada have shared two new songs, titled ‘Introit’ and ‘Prophecy At 1420 MHz’. You can listen to them here: buff.ly/Jys5sa0

This is stunning reporting: Donald Trump’s so-called “Project Freedom” reportedly collapsed after Saudi Arabia blocked the U.S. military from using key Saudi bases and airspace for the operation, according to new reporting from NBC News. Link to the article in the reply.

‘So, instead of just 20 seconds you have a minute and a half of legendary television.’ The accidental BBC news guest, Guy Goma, and the man who put him on air, @elmog.bsky.social, tell @mrjamesob.bsky.social what really happened.

GRASSROOTS UNCOVERED: BACK TO THE 90s WITH RADARBASE Mr Laurence looks at radarbase who channel the 90s club scene of Underworld & Primal Scream with their track 'Take me to your leader'. They are also playing at the next Electroniq night at London's Dublin Castle, co-promoted with Joyzine.

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

I'm not a politician, but if I ever take £5 million from a crypto billionaire businessman and start banging on about how great crypto is... please disregard everything I say and start calling me a f-ing wanker. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

‘Put your baby on its back to sleep’ is public health genius: free, anyone can do it, cut cot death rates by 80%. Amazing. Just listened to great BBC woman’s hour (h/t to public service broadcasting too) on how it’s being undermined by Instagram-famous idiots www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ok, who fucked with the knobs of the human suffering thermostat

Well this is quite something. Over on X @harryeccles.bsky.social, a Green candidate on the Isle of Wight, rewrites the famous poem by Martin Niemoller about Nazi erasure. But does so to leave out the Jews.

If you missed our AUDIENCE WITH MARK & LARD tour you can live stream the very last show! Tuesday 26th May. Tkts from markandlard.com @livetoyourlr.bsky.social 💥👇🏼

Please tell me they didn't break the heraldic rule of tincture by placing argent on or.

Good for her.

It's a curious thing. Most people over the age of about 15 feel deeply uncomfortable with public and performative flattery. I wonder if there's some deep psychological reason as to why this very odd man craves it so very much.

Why isn't Sky News talking about the #FarageCamps

As these things go - and it obviously won't impact on his diehard fans - this, from the Tories, is actually quite an impressive effort.

MY LIFE IN 10 SONGS: DAVID CRONENERG'S WIFE FRONT MAN - TOM MAYNE Tom Mayne talks about earliest musical memories, first gigs and much more with 10 songs that include Nick Cave, Neil Young, and Patti Smith.

"Ofcom promised The New World an interview to talk about its regulation of GB News. Once we sent them a full list of the programmes under scrutiny, the publicly funded regulator changed its mind." www.thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbrid... Take action: stopfundinghate.info/get-involved...

Make #FarageCamps trend on every available platform. Nobody wants their name associated with evil crap like that

The second Conservative candidate whose far-right posts I exposed has now been suspended. The party failed to respond when Byline Times first reported their posts last month

サブポップの新人良くないですか？これは良いハードコア。女子でいいスクリーム出来るシンガー最高⊂((・x・))⊃

So it turns out.... Cannibal Corpse singer Corpsegrinder is really good at arcade claw machines and he donates the plushies he wins to poor children. That is truly, truly metal af.

💔🤬 Russia tortured 375 Ukrainians in captivity. Their bodies were returned with signs of torture, exhaustion and lack of medical care, — Coordination Headquarters for Treatment of Prisoners of War #NoPeaceWithoutJustice

What's the law on this?

*Retailers see opportunity to boost sales of tumble dryers by telling desperate right-wing journalists exactly what they want to hear*

Have you ever "rushed to buy a tumble dryer?" No. Of course you haven't. This is newspapers filling space. This is tumble dryer salespeople making a mint. This is Buster Gonadian balls.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Zelensky: Met with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer. We in Ukraine appreciate all the steps taken by the United Kingdom to support our people and weaken the aggressor, in particular in the fight against the Russian shadow fleet.

The face of the man who owns Reform and who will decide all their policies. You won't have ever heard of this Thai business man because Nigel Farage keeps him hidden. But he is who you are voting for.

INTERVIEW: MCLUSKY’S ANDREW FALKOUS With an EP of new music just released Joyzine Editor Paul Maps talked to mclusky's Andrew Falkous about fatherhood, featuring in the Peaky Blinders film, and being asked to be strapped to the underside of a plane.

Yes, absolutely. And embarrassing the way people have fallen over themselves to celebrate it.

This is a really shocking story, and I really hope the Greens are going to stand this candidate down. There should be no place for antisemitism in British politics. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's a good point Farage claimed he can't hold constituency surgeries because of security Farage also claims the £5 million was for security Soooo, which is it? It's also the single biggest donation in British history to a politician but Farage didn't declare it

I had no idea Clacton was that dangerous!

Some useful public speaking tips from Freud here.

The Wachowskis built 1.5 miles of highway for their Reloaded set piece, got 300 some cars from GM that were not deemed to be road safe for consumers, and after filming one of the five best car chases in cinematic history, recycled all that material into affordable housing in Mexico

This is the treat we all deserve on a sunny spring day

This is fantastic. It sounds like a comedy bit but it's actually true
