I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Thomson’s bass playing on Five Leaves Left turned Nick Drake from a bedroom singer into a rock star. You can hear Nick having so much fun singing against the basslines.

John Lee Hooker with a diagram of the evolution of the Blues.

An old pal messaged me out of the blue looking for a song ID, so I’ll pass it on here too. Incredible NZ synth punk from the 00s youtu.be/rnAlfgYlWwU?...

Princess Tinymeat†Sloblands [Ireland, Goth Rock/Post Punk/Synth Pop/Glam, for those morosely upbeat moods best suited for languishing on the couches at the Spooky Guild, even though there’s almost no way you’d hear this being https://redd.it/iogk3r https://youtu.be/DLUnp2ufWns

I love power unity and national identity … not mad on authority tbf … and still find fascism repulsive

well we had a lot of fun with the phones, but now it’s time to give them all back to the government and go to work.

Awesome video by the Leftist Cooks about irishness (I’m in it briefly reading a George Bernard Shaw quote 😁)

Sex Pistols and Buzzcocks or Michael Mann movie compilation soundtracks

There’s a fine tradition on reddit of yanks asking for a translation of the Gaelic phrases in Whiskey in the Jar, and getting mad when people tell them it’s nonsense

As we head into Rosh Hashanah, a very important point of order from Canadian Senate Hansard (1984) :p

Seeing a lot of buzz for the Aldi vegan steaks this week. Unfortunately, they are produced by Redefine Meat an Israeli company who provides food to the IDF. This has been confirmed by Aldi Customer Service

Like, what about the binaries of citizens versus non-citizen? Rich and poor? Working class and ruling class? Politicians and constituents? Legal versus illegal? Their power rests on these and other beliefs. And we shake those beliefs, and that scares those in power absolutely shitless

I suspect part of it is that we trans people existing expose a lot of lies we were told growing up about how the world works. We are living proof that the gender and sex binaries are false, and since those are false, people might start questioning what else is false.

Even stuff like poetry has masculine and feminine endings. electronic cables are male or female. it dominates every aspect of life under this system where everything must be broken down into data and categorised. T + nb threatens the further dataification of our world.

I had a dream that the bass side of the concertina was unisonoric (basically it plays the same pitch regardless of the direction of airflow). It was so much better! Now I have to unlearn dream concertina

This dance sequence is astounding

Then Youghal should be its own county coz it doesn’t feel corkonian nor waterfordish

The part of the Look What You Made Me Do video which mocked Kim getting mugged in the bathtub is on record as the most fucked up, unambiguously nasty diss I've ever seen a massive pop star do in the visuals of a music video. Even Hit Em Up just had a funny fat lookalike who got laughed at

Girls are so hot but boys are also really hot, kinda crazy to think about.

lmao

I don’t think Trump is that unprecedented to test the limits of US democracy like that. Like once they let off Nixon and then Cheney, it means political power is above the law. Then Trump just has to put his ass on the line for a sec to pull off any heist. Presidents have been doing it for ages.

work sucks but playing Piano all day is nice and sometimes when my students are being annoying I will just play piano until they shut up

Christy Moores vocals are so beautiful on Sweet a Thames Flow Softly and he names all these London locations but it’s a little undermined by constantly pronouncing the th in Thames

The cool thing about opening a glasses shop is everyone’s head is basically the same size and shape so you dont need to make lots of different designs

@bandcamp.com hey there friends, can we get some support to geoblock Israel from digital downloads?

manufacturing consent is okay because I'm doing it on behalf of the powerful

good thing weed is illegal or it would be TOO relaxing 😎

eep/eepy = Eat Evil Podcasters

A: blaa B: bigos C: shashlik D: shawarma E: tagine F: Moroccan goat stew G: fajitas H: port wine

D contains the some of the best cuisines in the world but only A has the blaa...

A lot of the mess we are in now is capitalists realising they can’t seem to differentiate themselves from fascists and lashing out against humanity. That’s why so many of our politicians still support Israel - to punish us.

truly one of the most unintentionally funny things i've ever seen someone post online about themself

Veronika Wuycheck, maker of the calligraphy and lettering, has a beautiful gallery of her work

Buy my album for as low as 0.50c. All proceeds go to Medical Aid for Palestinians. we’ve already donated over €100! ❤️ 🇵🇸

"oh but in Italy they would never have a cappuccino after twelve" right but them people don't even grow coffee what would I listen to them for

Jello for Áras

Breaking:

if I was invading and I had to lay siege to bunratty I would be packing explosives into that arch. guaranteed a breach at least.

You Shall Know Us By Us Speaking Ill Of The Dead

we made it lads. middle of september weve it fuckin made

Williams was a photographer for Jet magazine. He took the photo himself. The OG selfie. Iconic. Orangeburg, South Carolina, 1956

Actually I've been thinking of this and there's a much bigger problem with the Millennial-era pop music innovations being the most sexless of any postwar decade. Dubstep, trophouse, recession pop and post-EDM are comically unsexy spins on house which until then still stunk of sweat and Rush

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

last night i had a dream they start selling luke kelly heads in the middle aisle of lidl so people could buy them for their garden like buddha statues

it's obvious to anyone that the ones doing the prodding are X and Meta, in the interest of generating profit.

I wish you could play hollow knight in irish

there’s 1000 ways being an artist can fuck u up lol. I was chatting to a friend who is just starting to achieve success, whereas I got a little success much younger. She ended up a solo perfectionist whereas I crave (and sometimes unintentionally sabotage) collaboration.
