We're in a great place in society when Doctors Without Borders are being labeled as "terrorists" for trying to aid a population under genocide, and media just nods along in agreement.

45 years after they allowed 10 Irish hunger strikers to starve to death, the British government are taking the same policy against Palestinian protestors. Back then it was Margaret Thatcher, today Kier Starmer. I hope he will be remembered with the same disdain as she is.

So sorry to hear of the death of The Cure's Perry Bamonte, a former guitar tech who stepped up to become a full member for 15 years, an invaluable Swiss Army knife multi-instrumentalist. Every fan loved seeing him back on board for the Lost World tour. R.I.P. 'Teddy'. Love to his family & friends. x

20 yrs today since Derek Bailey passed. A one off whose non-idiomatic noodling lit my lugs up in new ways at a young age.

We're all descendants of a bunch of Mesozoic mammals who scrambled around trying to avoid being lunch for dinosaurs. I don't know what that makes you feel, but remember how far your DNA has come, and that there lies within you a plucky survivor.

we're all drawn towards the void, but each day we continue to exist & try to do good for our friends & culture is worth celebrating. so let's raise a toast to US as well as those who are gone, vowing to continue our fight to bend the arc of society in the direction of ecstasy rather than despair.

Letting hunger strikers die, arresting Greta Thunberg — this is not incompetence or even indifference. The UK state is deliberately making examples of people to ramp up the crushing of basic civil liberties and silence opposition to genocide

61. Schattenfroh by Michael Lentz (tr. Max Lawton). A mind-expanding, bravura work that I am still trying to figure out the implications of; an interrogation of the very foundations of representation in European culture: is the word the picture or is the picture the word?

Scandalously the Dáil has just voted 73-71 to continue to force many women to travel abroad for abortions by refusing to reinstate Bríd Smith's Bill to scrap the three day waiting period. The vast majority of FF and FG TDs voted against women's right to choose. Shame on them.
