Oh. With thanks to @migueldelaney.bsky.social for the heads-up.

3/4 An event facilitating the sale of property in Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territory should never have been allowed to take place on UK soil.

Been thinking a lot about Ciara Mageean and it pushed me to write this personal essay on life, loss, illness, grief and survivors' guilt. theblackpoolsentinel.com/2026/06/30/9...

here you go (art was better than doomscrolling)

🎬 James: Getting Away With It premieres at Manchester's Aviva Studios on 17 August, with the band in attendance for a live acoustic performance and Q&A. Also coming to cinemas in the UK & Ireland, and internationally. Tickets on sale on Monday 6th July. NBL x #James #GettingAwayWithIt

In Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory there’s a moment when it seems the final Golden Ticket has been found in Paraguay by millionaire businessman “Alberto Miñoleta”. We cut to a Paraguayan news broadcast where the announcer shows “the most recent photo” of him. It’s a picture of Martin Bormann.

Easily one of my favorite stories about the production of #YoungFrankenstein. #TCMParty

He can think of nothing worse than “the idea of us willingly, without any overlord telling us so, saying ‘I think my voice would be better expressed by an unthinking machine who has plagiarised all of the world’s authors and has come up with this terrible soup of bad writing.’”

So, where can you watch them? HERE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=quj8... Subscribe, like, RT, big it up, send to your family and friends, watch it over and over again. Subscribe to their Patreon if you are able to. FOR THE RECORD needs to win all the awards.

He built a roller skating rink which he encouraged staff to use, and a 15 mile underground maze of tunnels and a ballroom, which were also painted pink. There was a lift which could carry 20 pax to the underground section, but he never invited anyone over.

FOR THE RECORD: AN INCOMPLETE HISTORY OF MUSIC is a documentary like no other - (I'm just finishing part two) - and I think it's up there with the greatest documentaries *ever made*, those of David Attenborough and Ken Burns. It's like climbing up Everest with no oxygen and Everest is impressed.

I hope Mamdani and his allies are successful in completely decimating the corrupt Democratic establishment and replacing them with progressive and leftist alternatives who can help lower costs, provide healthcare and build a safety net for our neighbors and maybe even save the planet from ecocide.

Interestingly, the intuition I felt and spoke from -- that embodied knowing -- is precisely the kind of thing AI, for all of its performative anthropomorphic gesturing at the simulacrum of personhood, can't do. Tech billionaires want us to believe that our embodied/human ways of knowing are useless!

They aren’t your friends, they won’t treat you better if you talk to them first, they’re allowed to lie to you and they are trained to do so to maximize the amount of information they get.

Aaah the live broadcast from Cape Verde being interrupted by the goal

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

Don't care what else happens, this was great

This is incredible. So satisfying. I was going to say it’s “cutting” but it’s more a knifing to the gut or maybe a beheading. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I have always hated Lalas, dating back to when his Spin Doctor lookin’ ass was acting like God’s gift on the pitch. Watching Zlatan and Henry crap on him has been sparking my fucking joy.

From an earlier trip to Scotland 2025

I can't decide which Scottish World Cup chant I'm more proud of: "The Tartan Army's on a bender, Donald Trump's a sex offender!" or "He's orange, he's bald, he likes 'em 12 years auld, Donald Trump!" Outstanding work, lads.

An interesting thread from a month ago that predicted exactly what we’re seeing in the reflecting pool now (peeling up, prolific microbial activity)

Decided to draw another old, vintage romance comic cover based on a song I like. This time Buzzcocks’ Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve). Here is said comic cover.

@fllicsofficial.bsky.social can you explain who you folks are and why when you go to your website there's no About Us, section, and clicking on Questions and Links prompts you to download a .bin file, please?

Well, that was a fucking ride.

Much more to come. Obvious caveat that this whole event is corrupt and the USA has no business hosting. I've posted plenty about *all that* and will continue to do so; this thread is for the good stuff, the World Cup as it *could* be and should be.

Starting an ongoing thread of off-the-pitch Nice Things at the World Cup. It's gonna get long over the next few weeks. 1. Curaçao. All of it.

Idk it's just very on the nose that when Trump drains even a tiny bit of any given swamp or pool that what happens next is the swamp or pool is somehow even worse than before

As a follow-up to my earlier David Wojnarowicz post, here's something to keep in mind in coming years: a statement from Wojnarowicz—relayed by artist Zoe Leonard—about the importance of embracing beauty in difficult times (via @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social's "Orwell's Roses" bsky.app/profile/rebe...)

This is the world famous Lycurgus Cup. It’s made from dichroic glass, meaning it changes colour depending on the direction the light comes from (red from behind, green from front). It shows Lycurgus’ death. He tried to kidnap Ambrosia who was turned into a vine which then strangled him. 🏛️📷BM
