i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

Happy 40th, Janelle Monáe!

I wonder if Tom Stoppard read Viz? This is basically the same joke as the one about saving money on personalised number plates by changing your name to your car's registration.

Is this real? If so…whuuut?

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

May be time to acknowledge that perhaps Zarah Sultana isn't part of any solution either, no matter with which party she aligns herself, especially if the exclusion of SWP members from Your Party (or whatever they're going to call themselves) is an issue for her

What the fuck

As noted elsewhere: is somebody going to ask Michael Gove about this, or should we chuck it on top of the big pile of things Michael Gove doesn’t get asked about

Other contenders include Stanton Warriors mix of Dooms Night www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUMH... Which is of course a remix of the Timo Mass remix www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmnZ... Which sounds almost nothing like the original www.youtube.com/watch?v=grEa...

Which was The Wild Bunch's remix of this www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKJH...

I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but just in case. It's a reworked version of this www.youtube.com/watch?v=igcN...

In my top 5 of tracks which are actually remixes of remixes

This is the world the serious grown up moderates fought to preserve, and don't let them ever try to tell you otherwise.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

And to think it wasn’t that long ago when Pollard was being platformed as a voice worth listening to just because he slagged off the left at every opportunity. This is who he’s always been.

Imagine not only spending your time doing this, but also feeling an irresistible urge to *send it to a journalist*.

Graham Linehan is a normal and well man.

What a deal! But be quick, you only have until 2pm tomorrow! renownfilms.co.uk/product/euro...

“I bought this house when it was only 300k and now it’s worth 2m, why should I have to leave because I can’t afford a tax???” - so you’re saying you’ve made over a million quid in profit off a house just by it existing and you’re now complaining that’s getting taxed a bit

All of this “woe is me my house is now really expensive and so a tax is unfair” stuff completely negates to acknowledge the implicit fact that the house owner has made an insane profit by doing absolutely nothing

I hate that I noticed this, but is there a reason why Reeves’ budget box yesterday still had Elizabeth II’s royal cypher on it given that Charles has been king for three years now? Thought the flag shaggers would be all over that.

Luc Besson’s new film is about a predator who’s really just misunderstood? Damn that’s crazy

the only time i ever gave back to my community (cinephile dorks whose parents claim they can't see it but we suspect are messing with us a little)

Labour love this hypnotherapist line because they get to do antisemitic dogwhistles but get bailed out by the press each time. Like they did here.

the labour party have solved the withering of state capacity by making being arrested a crime. genius.

A post from the old place that still lives rent free in my head is when someone, with a straight face, claimed that the Pope wasn’t in any position to pontificate. Err…

Holy shit. I knew this Labour government would be bad, but holy shit.

The media really will treat LLMs as human before they give trans people the same courtesy

This is unconscionable. We should all be makimg more of a fuss about this, it puts every one of us at the mercy of these evil bastards.

I'd wager the reason they didn't charge the vast majority of the Palestine action arrestees was through fear of the gentle pensioners being presented as terrorists getting acquitted by juries. Obviously this has implications beyond this, and it all makes me feel sick. I hate the labour party.

Not much danger of a jury finding somebody with a popular cause innocent when there is no jury.

So the actual bar being discussed for juryless trials seems to be anything where the sentence is less than 5 years. Anything less than 5 years would not require a jury and could be decided by a judge in a closed room. Worth noting that 3 years is the top number for activists generally...

I cannot recall a British politician that has credibly expressed statements that are as antisemitic as those expressed by Nigel Farage. Where is the Board of Deputies?

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'. One wonders what *would*.

The Feminine Complex - I won't run [USA, pop-rock] (1969) They were not so many all-girls bands in 1969 - From the album Livin' Love https://redd.it/13jijst https://youtu.be/aLqSfp2_Kug

The really cool thing about 'Spreadie Van Halen' is that "halen" is the Welsh word for salt.

She was even BAD at it. Do you remember when she said "and the thing is...I don't look like your typical Jew". I BALKED! I got blocked for tweeting at her "What does a typical Jew look like please, Rachel? Is it me?" Just a....TERRIBLE thing to say!

To say the entire press taking this utterly cynical, vexatious horseshit and ramping it up into national terror amounts to a big thumb on the scales of democracy significantly undersells just how serious this stuff is. It raises questions about whether we’re a democracy in any meaningful sense.

Like, it was very obvious it was a heavily choreographed campaign of bullshit and shenanigans, but even I assumed it was *at least somewhat organic* and not just the country’s most tiresome reactionary crackpots meeting up offscreen and agreeing to all scream the same drivel in unison.

The actual real explanation always turns out to be way more dumb and insulting than you imagined it was.

Stop Making Sense on vinyl

RIP, Jellybean Johnson. He held it down for the greatest band of all-Time. youtu.be/IE0lAfjoT9o?...

Brilliant film, this.

"Dernier domicile connu", avec Lino et Marlène. Quel choc de voir et d'entendre ça quand on est un gamin... youtu.be/mJ2FURhZgy8?...
