If you're at all interested in how culture & politics intertwine, check out this thread about the connections between South African music & the South African anti-apartheid struggle. Includes a 1970 broadcast from the ANC's Radio Freedom. And some very cool music. 👇🏽

Here's the Health Secretary Wes Streeting explaining that a clinical trial of a safe drug used in the UK and across the world for decades is necessary in order that it can be banned. He wants to be PM.

I spent an hour playing my leaf guitar for my favorite boxwood grove & then when I got home I hooked it up to some contact mics & set it on fire. It saddens me that the ruins have no mention of the lives of the people who built the mansion & planted its gardens, but the boxwoods remember it all.

As far as historical context for the site goes I give the ruins an F. Theres not one mention of the people who were enslaved on its grounds & tended the gardens. For this location I recorded several of the largest boxwoods I could find then I collected leaves & stuffed my guitar full of them.

I spent the week hanging around the historic boxwoods at the ruins in Barboursville VA, a tree Im very familiar with, working as a gardener for years pruning boxwoods like these for wealthy clients at historic homes in the area. The mansion was designed by Jefferson in 1814 for gov Barbour.

Billionaires handing money back and forth, no one creating anything except carbon in the air. Anthropic buys Nvidia chips; Nvidia gives Anthropic billions to buy even more chips; Microsoft gives Anthropic billions, which Anthropic spends on Microsoft Azure, run by Nvidia, etc. An ouroboros of shit.

18/11/25 - nocturn

Bisecting a falling building with your face in a smashed rubblescape. Lakes of viscera and hard stares. Bad guys as thinly membraned pressurised meat sacks, dead before they’re dead. A cosmic western martial arts body horror. Mad mega violent nonsense. A top too-much movie.

man hollers indecipherable about getting up, getting a geetar, swooping down, whiffing pant legs, dedicates it his wife youtu.be/-eginkPg4JI?...

Low - When I Go Deaf. Although, I suppose it’s about not writing a song, but this song results from it youtu.be/oDMiDCp6y5U?...

Brian Lumley’s Necromancer series at mid-teens. ‘Real world’ grounded schlock that led me eventually to Clive Barker and a bunch of other weird but non-horror stuff.

do you guys know about the jawbone of St Anthony

they should kill james bond in every film

i have not watched GDT's Frankenstein but i am firm in my belief that it needs a tie-in adventure/fighting game like the 90s Kenneth Branagh one did on the Sega CD. and they need to keep in elizabeth's roll attack

Broke the news of this to the people of Blackpool on my paper round.

Find!

I am imminently Autechre’ing and have unfortunately bought these gross Boots wax earplugs. [Seinfeld face] what’s up with them?

They’ll be waiting a while

We have lots of student notebooks containing sketches on anatomy, diseases etc, however, this one is by far our favourite. It shows Joseph Lister, father of antiseptic surgery, disappearing through a trapdoor after his lecture in Glasgow in 1868. Now that's how to make an exit! #Museum30 #Sketchbook

Jazz drumming and lost guns. Unfinished freeways. Shooting the night. ‘Can I buy you a drink seeing as how I almost ran you over?’ Cows struck by lightning. ‘Fucking guy shot my fish’. Stealing a record collection. Grisly crime scene photos. A shoeless anti-road movie where no one gets very far.

Philip K. Dick gets it right again. Let's hear it for the vague blurs!

So much to love here. Pure bizarro sleaze grot ‘n’ grime weird wrongness. The great fully committed performances. Trepanning as a relaxation aid/clarity inducer. The greasy creepy horror of a mole-obsessed ‘perfectionist’. The dramatic side effects of super crack. Total b-movie bliss.

Chandler holding a Boredoms Pop Tatari CD is still my #1 though

Now watching

this is what people need to understand, no matter how wild you think you can get with AI, I PROMISE you that it’s NOTHING compared to what already exists on stock photo sites

Solemnly taking down the Halloween tat except for the skeleton, who will now be given his Lee Enfield, uniform and poppy

Intermittently enjoyable crap. The elaborate occult ceremonies are compelling but the rest of it is crudely stretched material, the ghoulies themselves unscary rubbery hand puppets that barely feature.

Treat yourself to a listen to this great album leonspencer.bandcamp.com/album/where-...

Genuinely can't stop laughing at this Colin Farrell story

Love how much of a good time Steve Shelley is having in this

RIP artist and mate Pete Knifton. From swanning around the pages of New Worlds dressed as Pierrot, through his range of fantasy art and distinctive comic-style illos for GW's Blood Bowl, he cut a dash through all our lives. Be seeing you, madman. @scifiart.bsky.social @joebankswriter.bsky.social

Triple bill all-nighter of just the new Paul Thomas Anderson film: One Battle After Another After One Battle After Another After Another One Battle After Another

So much Necks. thenecksau.bandcamp.com/album/disquiet

Ha! Is it, Jonny?

In which Stuart Gordon & crew try for a Spielbergian cosy horror zone and sort of achieve it, if it wasn’t for the destroyed faces, savage beatings, and sawn through tendons.

Im listening to the new Henry Caravan, its great. FFO people who like good things umbrog.bandcamp.com/album/sacrif...

Anyone bidding on this? www.juliensauctions.com/en/items/207...

i love how john candy’s wikipedia pic looks nothing like how you recall him looking at any point in his career but also goes extremely hard

exceedingly happy to announce this new addition to the forthcoming queue, two longtime powerhouses who will be working together for the first time. Kevin Drumm/Taku Unami (Erstwhile 113)
