I saw one of the live shows this video was based on; Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, Friday October 9th, 1981. I don't know it's the one they filmed. I still have my copy of the VHS too, but it was loaned out and passed around amongst friends so many times that it's almost a wall of static in places.

When you time it wrong and u are still in the queue when the e kicks in

Just putting it out into the universe that maybe Grace Jones should cover Amy Winehouse's "Some Unholy War", so let's see what happens, eh?

Mr. Brobbey

On The Roof

Look what you're going to make Russia do! This is how victims internalize their own abuse. So strange how on the one hand the alt-right and AFD want to restore traditional masculinity. But defending oneself...

He’s offended because The Odyssey is about something near and dear to him: being an absent father while chasing vanity for 20 years

Do you want to see Thelonious Monk do solo piano renditions of a bunch of Ellington tunes on German television? Of course you do www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9v8...

Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.

“He’s appeared on InfoWars and Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes’s online show to make his case that he’s defending free speech by trying to reclaim the n-word for white people.”

This is a magnificent pun* and it deserves a wider audience. * - at least an 8.5 on the Harrison scale (iykyk).

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Wes Than Zero. Save that one, @nndroid.bsky.social

Happy Birthday to Stevie Wonder. A good day to remind everyone that his 9 album run between 1971-76 is the Imperial Phase that all other Imperial Phases call boss. open.spotify.com/playlist/66m...

This is a very interesting analysis, although some of the specifics may not apply elsewhere in the world. www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/the-uk-album...

The AI causes has nothing to do with Yudkowsky's Dollar Store Pascal's Wager. It's destruction of water since evaporative cooling only works in deserts, so it's using vast volumes of water where there isn't much; it's diesel generators producing freeway pollution in residential neighborhoods. 1/

Wait, Beth *dies*...?

Sadiq Khan for PM, if for no other reason than that level of arterial strain should finish off an awful lot of wrong 'uns.

Following a non-scientific study conducted whilst travelling from West to East Berlin and back on the freshly-opened U1, I have arrived at the conclusion that Hammer pants are back, baby!

Peterborough.

Wanted criminals are fleeing to the US. Somebody call ICE.

i just can't believe people are trying to run game suggesting that the lady from space lasers and censuring rashida tlaib is a voice of reason on gaza

Around six years ago, I was really struggling with an essay for @brightwalldarkroom.com about JACKIE BROWN, one that I was never able to finish once COVID hit and blew life up. Anyway, Tony Stella made a beautiful little piece for the essay. It never got an official release. Sharing it now.

Oh-ho-ho! www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Nl...

To all who celebrate... #LFC

Man, if it's like this for Giuliani and he isn't even dead yet...

White privilege is having the most deranged fantasies of inflicting violence on those less fortunate & less white than you treated as the musings of an overactive far right imagination rather than a reason to be hauled in front of the counter terrorism police .

Fucking hell.

Patrick Swayze originally wrote She's Like The Wind for use in Grandview, USA, the largely-forgotten 1984 movie in which he starred opposite Jamie Lee Curtis. He got knocked on that occasion, but years later he dusted it off and pitched it at the producers of Dirty Dancing. The rest, etc.

Something had led me to believe Annette Peacock had merged with the infinite, and when I went to check, this was amongst the results. I thought, "OK, that description sounds pretty interesting," and guess what, it's really good.

Anthropic warns that Charlie Brown could have hoes by Q3 of this year

Every now and again I think it's important to recommend this book. It drives home the understanding that we live in a connected eco-system and that evil doesn't simply manifest in a vacuum. Nazi Germany studied American fascism, particularly Jim Crow, very closely before committing the Holocaust.

The Reform donor thing. Even football clubs have caps on how much money they can receive and spend, so why aren't the same limitations imposed on political parties? An even playing field is important in football but not in politics? Labour has a huge majority. Use the damn thing to fix this fuckery.

Yeah, someone needs to run through that department with an axe.

There are very few records of which I could truly say, "this changed my life", but the first Ramones album is one of them.

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty down about my small business. I’m working so hard but it’s been very quiet. It’s bloody difficult at the moment. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

Righteous stuff, this. 🧵

In the eventuality of the wholly unnecessary reboot, can we at least get Joey King as Gracie?

Morning, Bluesky. Would you like to read the tale of The Wholly Avoidable And (probably) Incredibly Costly Implosion of The Billion-Dollar Cross-Platform Media Empire? You would? Well, it so happens I have *just* the thing...
