Today's statement about "Fighting Back Against Antifa Violence" from the DHS contains a false conspiracy theory about our member crew Rose City Antifa. RCA has not doxed any ICE agents, a fact confirmed by going to the URL DHS conveniently censored from their photo. RCA did not put up this flyer.

We need to understand the libidinal composition of anglofascism. It's a carnival, it's pints and packet on a Saturday. It's the feeling the cruelty might finally be worth it, because you get your share, laundered through the images of owned lib, sad migrant, and the cheeky, horny, deporter in chief.

This made my day today. Police pulled over a dalek outside DSEI, London's arms fair, scanned the QR code on its lanyard and were taken to my fake Royal Navy recruitment website - royalnavy.org.uk

TIL that Martin Price of 808 State is the same Martin Price who worked at Eastern Bloc records and successfully defended the shop in an obscenity case brought by "God's cop" James Anderson in relation to a window display of Flux of Pink Indians' album "The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks".

Finally a reckoning for this creep. The unstated story here was always the C of E letting him get away with it all for so long.

Sad to hear that Channel One studio engineer Barnabas died yesterday. He helped shape the legendary Channel One sound in the 70s/80s and was also the DJ on their sound system. He made a few appearances on vinyl, like on this 12"... youtu.be/FOzg8nyicbQ?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #musicsky

Bravo, young artists. Under the pavement, No Parlez! (Come back and stay at Liverpool Central Library.)

"No Poll Tax" dancehall tune! Get on this and give Gabriel a follow for more niceness.

And now highly recommended by me fwiw. My partner, on the other hand, has reacted very strongly against both the term “early music” and its content.

Something I want to do more in 2026 is to actively encourage more people to organize grassroots public history projects where they live. Instead of wringing our hands re the Fed attacks on Black studies, women's studies, LGBTQ studies etc we can just teach at the community level intergenerationally.

The artist with the most albums in my collection is ragga compilation CDs. 🔥 (And Messiaen.)

Come Sunday! Free radical history walk in and around Lincoln’s Inn Fields.

looking for some more info on the ‘after marx, april’ group who wrote ‘we want to riot, not to work’ and also put on conference with bifo, guattari etc. in camden in 81.

Hope and silence are not good foundations for anything. If left wing parties are unable to withstand criticism from comrades, how will they fare against the state and media?
