Morgan McSweeney is gone. Good. Starmer limps on to May, and then? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A woman talking to her partner says, '...and also they dress like prostitutes'. Don't say shit like that, it's gross.

Tear Fet: Improvising With Myself - vocal sound improvisation I started catching up on three shorts I missed recording by improvising against part of my own longform improv 'The Winter's Fail '. youtube.com/shorts/cl58h...

Tear Fet: The Winter's Fail This week's longform vocal sound improvisation premieres at half past the hour. A very late recording last weekend and a lot better than I thought it was while doing the recording. youtu.be/kiNW9kJqdx8?...

McSweeney is fucking doomed. It's only a matter of time before he's defenestrated. And can Starmer survive long after that? "Starmer has 'full confidence' in McSweeney"

Tear Fet: The Winter's Fail My next longform Friday vocal sound improvisation premieres tomorrow (6 Feb) at 21:30 UK time. I thought this was a mess while I was recording it, but it's actually pretty strong. youtu.be/kiNW9kJqdx8

I hope that the Mandelson scandal takes down Morgan McSweeney.

Good! Palestine Action protesters not guilty of Elbit Systems burglary. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lol. Charles Veitch bail conditions mean he can't enter Manchester city centre inside the ring road. For those who don't know, he's a YouTube auditor, which in his case mostly means racist provocation and other Reform-coded behaviour. The prick. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Tear Fet: Past Peers into the Present My latest longform Friday vocal sound improvisation premieres at half past the hour, 21:30 UK time. youtu.be/sDRj_cT3W7U?...

"Donald Trump is Jesus. An eroticised embodiment of his followers' heterogeneous desires; cruel, violent, libidnal. They want to fight for him, fuck him, be fucked by him, kill and eat him."

NSFW. New blogpost: Donald Trump is Jesus. Obscene and blasphemous as befits Trump and his parliament of grotesques. A short reverie on the libidnal, self-destructive urges of the president's followers. santiagosdeadwasp.blogspot.com/2026/01/dona...

Okay, coming next on my blog today or tomorrow, Trump is Jesus, and the psychosexual pathology of his supporters.

Tear Fet: Past Peers into the Present My next longform vocal sound improvisation premieres Friday (30 January) at 21:30 UK time. It's 20 minutes long, mostly recorded between Broadbottom and Werneth Low on Saturday. youtu.be/sDRj_cT3W7U

Michael Parenti "Imperialism, Drugs and Social Control" youtu.be/6FNOm8hY1QU?...

I hadn't seen that Michael Parenti died at the weekend. www.democracynow.org/2026/1/26/he...

I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents about Alex Pretti's death and every single one of them blame the Border Patrol agent www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-unloads

Tear Fet: Sky and Stone Last share for Friday's 16-minute vocal sound improvisation. It's a chill one, filmed on Marsden Moor. I think it's alright. Give it a watch/listen. youtu.be/BJ3KKAteBlU

Sunday along the Bollin Valley Way to Dunham Massey, Altrincham via Bridgewater Canal and Trans Pennine Trail, then home.

Saturday from Glossop via Gamesley and Broadbottom to Werneth Low, then home by the Godley to Apethorn path, Peak Forest Canal, Reddish Vale, and then mostly by road.

Tear Fet: ICE - semi-improvised vocal piece Didn't record shorts on Wednesday or yesterday, so I'm catching up. Fuck ICE. Fuck fascists. youtube.com/shorts/T7iue...

For all ICE and border patrol agents, for Trump and his regime, for all the bellicose chuds supporting fascism in America I wish nothing but a long and healthy life and an end through natural causes...

Not sure what's next on my blog, but I'm currently working on a piece about YouTube auditors who've made videos on Manchester. These are antagonistic right-wing culture war types like Charlie Veitch. It'll take a while.

Premiering at half past the hour

Tear Fet: Sky and Stone My latest longform vocal sound improvisation premieres at 21:30 UK time today, Fri 24 Jan. I like this one, it's more chill than some recent improvs. youtu.be/BJ3KKAteBlU

Just the funniest shit I've seen today. I choose to read it as satire. www.threads.com/@coach.bluee...

It's an observation I've already made, but in addition to his disordered and rambling speech, Donald Trump sounds tired and ill these days. He's on his way out.

Hobbit Himmler Greg Bovino simply shouldn't be around human height people. What border you patrolling, little guy? Is it your flower border to keep the slugs off?

New books bought with Christmas gift card. Yesterday I also picked up my first new glasses in years. They're varifocals and a great improvement. Which is what I'd want for £280.

It took longer than I would have liked, but up on my blog now, one of the worst tweets I've ever seen. santiagosdeadwasp.blogspot.com/2026/01/stan...

I am so sick of this narcissistic, bloviating cretin. Donald Trump links threats to seize Greenland to Nobel prize snub in letter www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Tear Fet: Sky and Stone Recorded, slapped together, and uploaded yesterday, my next longform vocal sound improvisation premieres on Friday (23 January) at 21:30 UK time. I did something calmer than usual this time. youtu.be/BJ3KKAteBlU

On my usual weekend bullshit, Marsden Moor edition.

Is it actually helpful to Reform that they're taking on various aggrieved Tory failures, wingnuts, attention-seekers, and others to the right of the party?

Tear Fet: (Dis)section My next longform Friday vocal sound improvisation premieres tomorrow (16 January) at 21:30 UK time. An angry improv, though less focused than I'd ideally like. youtu.be/kEfS0WwgD5w

NEW | This year is starting so grimly that I’ve taken a break from the present to travel back to 1978…. 'If my thought-dreams could be seen...' Stuck inside one Bob Dylan song in a time of chaos brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/if-my-thou...

It may take a few days, but I'm planning blogpost about one of the most disgusting and reprehensibly overlong Tweets I've ever seen. It seems to have largely flown under the radar, but it's pure fascist rhetoric justifying the murder of Renee Nicole Good.
