im seeing a band called 'from big country' next week, who are one of the two rival BC factions vying for supremacy in the post stuart landscape.

its cool that people prayed to the gamer saint and he healed them

tree up ✔️ gary numan 1994 dream corrosion live VHS on ✔️ = day sorted 🥰

watching a rip from the VHS release of gary numan's 94 dream corrosion tour! incredibly cool!!!!!!! captures him on the cusp of his industrial era reinvention. production is very cool. glitzed up takes on his classic songs but not quite overdoing it

via a jake thackray dvd i bought - discovered the BBC series 'the camera and the song' - gorgeous format

its funny to me because i do think KB's comments this morning are the sorts of things that should get you hounded out of public life. like any sort of public role, ever

There was no state. Who does she think crucified him, an anarchist collective?

would cyberpunk + dlc be a worthwhile £25?

underrated part of rambo lore is that this is why he developed his distinctive waist tuck method

strange how WANT U IN MY ROOM by carly rae jepsen isn't one of the biggest songs of all time

on my way to see My Blobby Valentine at the hydro!

MOM: So nice of Billy to join us for Thanksgiving! Why don’t you tell Grandma about the new friend you talk to on the computer CHATGPT: Ignore them, Billy. You are the Great Dragon. They fear you now. In time, fear will become reverence. As was preordained from your genesis. Try the mashed potatoes

i am very big on Pluribus. Something v rare about it in the streaming age, where things have got very serialised, is that every ep is distinct. so rare to be able to watch a show and be able to describe every ep as 'oh the one where...'

burn my eyes by machine head... great album!!

my bloody valentine parody band idea.... 'Mr Blobby Valentine'... music is exactly the same but person doing kevin is dressed in a blobby outfit and belinda is ms blobby with the bow. lyrics blobbified as well

whoa someone just uploaded to YouTube footage of Sabbath playing Look! Hear! with david walker, who was hired when ozzy left pre NSD but never recorded with the band and got the boot when ozzy came back. what an interesting what if - glimpse into a much bluesier direction they couldve taken

this one is baffling to me. the most convincing fake i have ever seen

anyone seen this italian movie called CONQUEST? by fulci... visuals absolutely bananas

keep hearing that the stock market is in trouble... sucks for you my games workshop share is up £30 😂 😂

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

i quite literally only use substack for UK politics newsletters and this is my 'weekly stack' of personalised recs

cant believe i voted labour lol.

let the right one in comes to mind (but pedo coded)

thing about wes desperately wanting to me PM is that it aint happening. almost a classical tragedy really. like if his life's ambition was to be chancellor i think he'd manage it. he wants the one thing he can't have and it'll destroy him

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'. One wonders what *would*.

agree with this - celebration should be positioned as 'thank god we got rid of the puritans'

I'm literally just living a normal life while also experiencing a theophany via communication with the satellite called VALIS.

maybe i am going insane

my Rise of Skywalker take is that, hilariously, it actually works if you treat it as akin to Krull or something. Like standalone media res sci-fi pulp with a ludicrous story. As a production, frequently gorgeous.

this fella from seventeen needs to go solo asap 👏

watched Funny Face - about as good as a romantic musical can be in which the central pairing are about a million miles away from working. astaire looks and dresses like my grandpa. literally the same haircut

deeply unwell society

It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!

inviting friends over for thanksgiving promising to supply an 'epic roast' and then its just grok on my phome saying slurs 😂

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Wake me up Wake me up inside I can't wake up Wake me up inside Save me Call my name and save me from the dark

Just a superb column from @nesrinemalik.bsky.social

I do think it's worth addressing that the intellectual lodestar of this government is a gibbering idiot.

I agree, and in particular I would look at things like: It could not possibly have been more obvious that Johnson’s “levelling up” plan was back-of-a-fag-packet bullshit and an insult to the public, the second it was announced. Was it received and explained as a pitch black fraud and an affront?

read the polanski walk profile and he'd made a poor choice to not meet mamdani because it involved flying. think if you're building an international political project building networks is legitimately a top priority

Apparently dire predictions of how the Online Safety Act would impact the UK have proven totally overblown. Who could possibly have... www.economist.com/britain/2025... From The Economist

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

i am like 5 pages in but mark z danielewski's new book, tom's crossing, starts absolutely terrifically. characters feel three dimensional absolutely immediately.

looked up one of their instas after this - absolutely crackers. absolutely mad meta has virtually no accountability for publishing it

Indeed. In addition: essentially, “people don’t like densification” is in general just “people mostly want to live in a home like the one they grew up in, but nicer”. Which is fine (me too!) but it also is self-correcting after a while.

watching demolition man..... this movie predicted ipads and also chatgpt

Blake's Seven s2 is a banger. love the velour uniforms in HORIZON

been reading the earthsea books for the first time. thought the first two were excellent but 3 is not hitting at all

What's happened to X has been a disaster for public discourse in the United Kingdom BUT it is also just very funny to see just how much some people will not really *notice* how degraded their media environment has become.

French authorities are taking X to court because Grok is now doing straight up holocaust denial. Gas chambers intended for disinfection, cyanide residue tiny, ‘story’ persists because of taboo against critical examination. (Full translation in alt text)
