Cold Wednesday in England which means the lobscouse has to come out

As someone who isn’t a writer, I’ve spent quite a lot of time writing recently. If you’re interested in why war is bad, maybe this is for you:

Antifascsists in London shut down the annual Traditional Britain Group Xmas booze up. This event features monied organisers involved with groups like Patriotic Alternative, Britain First, Homeland Party, UKIP, and the now proscribed terrorist organisation National Action. More coming soon.

Another art review thread! In 1514 Thomas Murner published 'Ein andechtig geistliche Badenfart' in which he used the very recognisable visit to the bathhouse as an allegory. The illustrations give us a really nice insight into what a bath house visit was like.🧵 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_...

(me in a cave 40,000 years ago) you're gonna draw another bull, huh. real exciting

“British army would be destroyed in six month to a year” good 👍🏻

You can now consider me a fugitive

The British museum “legally” obtained objects from all around the world the same way I “legally” obtain a pain au chocolat at Tesco by weighing it as a banana

Love that a Pope’s hat used to be considered a tiara. Go on John Paul work it girly 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻

Going to Wide Awake fest next year not sure how I’m going to be able to go from real tears at CMAT to violently throwing myself around at Kneecap

We're pretty astounded: @thequietus.com have placed our album "Norther" at #1 in their End of Year charts: thequietus.com/tq-charts/al... ...thank you to everyone who has picked up a copy and been along to a show this year, it means the world to us

Happy 1st December everyone 🤍

Somehow got rejected by a workplace AND a therapist today what’s that about

Watching @edconway.bsky.social dissect the latest immigration figures and it’s remarkable what a tiny percentage of the number comes from people on small boat crossings Completely disproportionate to the attention given to this by the media and many politicians

Anyone wanna go halves on this

'With an introduction by @kristinhersh.bsky.social, from one misunderstood female musician to another, The Last Interview works best as a document that traces the changing attitudes to O’Connor over time and her consistent and steadfast views' Rediscovering #sineadoconnor https://buff.ly/4eI7MrQ

Forever struggling for a good way to photograph my sketchbook work 👍🏻

Why have just one perfect 90s album when Sonic Youth dropped two back to back

This is how I view many of you on this website. A foolish ape shackled by vanity

I really think Richard III would’ve loved post-punk and he defo would’ve loved King Krule

Introduce yourself with 4 video games

If Gladiators existed now I can’t help but feel they’d be addicted to snus

Thinking about the Acropolis at golden hour again 🥲

Is the Roman colosseum impressive? Yes. Do I find their graffiti way more interesting? Absolutely.

RIP Boudicca you would’ve loved this Amyl & The Sniffers album

“I bet he’s out with the boys cheating on me” what were actually doing:

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets, I am locking tridents with the inimitable Emma Southon to talk about the sex lives of gladiators. shows.acast.com/betwixt-the-...

Julius Caesar proposing the Gallic invasion to the Roman Senate

Yer da is back, and he’s on the grift. I’ve been making these ‘Cantus Orbis’ mixes for over a decade now. Working at the intersection of drone and medieval music, they got to be quite popular on mixcloud and even spawned their own NTS show…
