Mocking someone's addiction relapse because they happen to be a Jewish person who treated Palestinians with a basic level of humanity is really really low. I honestly don't know how you can do that and still see yourself as a good person fighting the good fight.

Only one of the *the* greatest drummers. Period, end of story. Salut.

Oh man :(

It seems almost trite to point out just how much of a liar starmer was back in 2020, but this one is especially funny today

This came up in my old posts today. Don’t know why, but it feels good to know that Andre 3000 specifically is this kind of guy.

Waiting for the headline "Nigel Farage to form new party" in about 6 months time, and on and on it goes

Toxic masculinity. I do love Psycho, but Peeping Tom was so ahead of its time.

Psycho was seen as a success, Peeping Tom as vile and immoral. Partly because Powell explicitly implicated the audience, partly because it was too much of a departure from Powell’s previous films, partly because Böhm’s Mark is more haunted and complex than Bates and he’s the product of patriarchy.

Finally watched Peeping Tom and can’t stop thinking about it. Karlheinz Böhm said no one wanted to shake hands with him or Michael Powell at the premiere. Böhm was superb here, Powell was a genius. Glad he saw the film beginning to be reappraised before he died.

Don't start on me for being naive btw, clever cunts, I wouldn't vote Labour with Burnham at the wheel either. HENNYWAY if you're in Gorton and Denton vote Green, tell all your friends who give a fuck to vote Green...if the seat goes to Reform it will 1000% be down to this Labour decision.

Siri, show me a leadership that just publicly displayed its arse so fucking hard.

As we say all the time: Labour hates the left more than it hates actual fascists & cares about antisemitism insofar as it can be weaponised against the left even though this sets back the battle against rising antisemitism & further undermines Jewish safety

Something overlooked in all this is “hero” in this context is a loan word from marketing/retail, and it’s not impossible that McSweeney might just be such a far-gone marketing-pilled empty vessel that doesn’t believe in anything in particular, hence his inability to see why it’s a dogshit strategy.

As I said last year

"in most cases, these videos appear to have been filmed secretly - using Meta smart glasses." Argh for the love of god BAN. THE. PERVERT GLASSES.

remember when labour first started talking about ditching jury trials and they said it would only be for minor offences. now they're talking about ditching jury trials for... rape. ether they don't think rape is a serious crime or they really are trying to create an authoritarian police state.

'the power balance is with criminals' they're not criminals until after they're convicted and the power is supposed to be with the accused. gods damn i fucking hate labour and their bullshit.

Today I learned that Maxwell Caulfield - massive hunk lead of Grease 2 - got married aged 21 to Juliet Mills aged 39, and they’re still married 46 years later at 66 and 84, and that just makes me happy.

I'll be playing some of my old French and Francophone records at The Piper in St Leonards On Sea on Friday 13th Feb as Melanie Pain from Nouvelle Vague and Brian Lopez from Calexico play upstairs. Excitement! www.instagram.com/p/DT2i8jfjb0...

Still not sure if "The Traitors: Uncloaked" calling itself an "Official Companion Visualised Podcast" is them doing a bit or if we've just hit peak wank now.

Massive hats off to everyone who dedicated their energy in the months after October 7th to attacking the UNRWA, discrediting the UN, and dismissing, sanctioning, intimidating the ICJ and ICC. Amazing work.

remember: trump is doing all this to distract you from Ilkeston's 'NatWest hole' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For those of you unclear why some of us are distinctly concerned about a digital ID system in the UK, this is what our Home Secretary is currently thinking about. www.thenational.scot/news/2578000...

Facebook reminds me that on this day in 2017 a woman turned to me in the veg section of Sainsbury's and said "hopefully now we've left the EU we can have loose carrots that aren't wet"

Hahahhahahahahaha The whole point of Hollywood wanting AI was to not pay fucking residuals makes this so great

She's just sacked a police chief for believing in the power of AI.

Brianna Ghey was targeted by classmates who knew her offline. Online, she made friends and a community, and was making content to help other trans kids like her. This is a grieving mother pushing for legislation that would have further isolated her trans child, that is supported by transphobes.

When I said the other day that the US would need a process of denazification after Trump and his cohort are finally gone, I wasn't kidding. Just "defund" isn't going to be enough.

Starmer says he does not think Cookie Monster would eat your biscuits.

Oof. I love to see it.

Spun this 7” in some recent DJ sets. It’s ace.

WHAT A TUNE.

Six… is the number of times I’ve reminded people that Mansun singer Paul Draper is a cunt, who stalked his bandmate Dominic Chad for many years as well as The Anchoress. #TOTP

#TheTraitors cast members as UK railway liveries. Stephen as an Avanti West Coast Class 805

Exactly *who* the reach-across-the-aisle people want to reach across *to* is deeply revealing of their politics IMO. Like, in western countries, when someone even moderately left wing gets a sniff of power, they’re beyond the pale, but the fascists are the ones who need friendliness & listening to

Reminds me of that recent Pauline Boty book that begins with the author admitting he'd not long heard of Boty when starting the book but decided to write it anyway. I didn't get very far with it.

Calling an armed goon a "soup sandwich" is next level

Politicians: don't use AI to make your maps.

Came home and sat down and did a Aubrey Beardsley and Harry Clarke inspired mari. I liked the turn pose Mari Ystrad did

The follow-up to this ought to be "so what message is so important it requires the tacit acceptance of sexual harrassment, including of minors?". Fuck 'em. This is the government that compared VPN users to those who enabled Jimmy Savile. They can fucking well answer in kind.

Shout-out to one of my coworkers who thought "labubu" was slang for lobotomy

I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

extremely funny youtube thumbnail I just saw

One of the greatest records ever made, and belting video too - the reason why they're at Tintern Abbey is I believe because this was made for a Dave Cash TV series which featured pop acts filmed at locations in the HTV region
