Was stunned when I first heard this one - the clear blueprint for my 90s obsession Trumans Water youtu.be/di20mNE98zs?...

Great band! And drummer Marc Weinstein went on to co-found possibly the best record store in the world, Amoeba Music

Never understood why MX80 Sound don't get the props that Pere Ubu, Chrome, This Heat, etc, do for being post-punk before punk. Here they are already sounding like Sonic Youth in 1976/77: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kk6...

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Thought he was talking about Farage for a second there ...

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

Media doesn’t care about the average citizen. Large media corps are perfectly fine with fascism as long as they still get the revenue.

its genuinely incredible that the government has been taken over by vandals, thieves, and bald-faced liars and the media is more or less reporting on them like they're normal heads of state

Threats of mass deportations ✅ Blatantly racist language ✅ How the BNP's rhetoric went mainstream @goldbergradio.bsky.social hears from @josiah.writes.news @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social podfollow.com/byline-podca...

The stupid hairdo he wears isn't remotely covering how bald he is lmao

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Anyone who works for e.g. a charity can tell you the press has incredible power to help people and improve society, if they use it for good and productive purposes. I’d urge you to look at what they do use it for, instead of doing that.

The BBC really is the equivalent of a panda that refuses to fuck to save itself. Its coverage has moved notably to the right and it still isn't enough, on of all things a supposedly misleadingly edited Trump clip, as if he didn't encourage the January 6th uprising.

The Hell Lane bridleway, in West Dorset, is an excellent place to visit if you like interdimensional portals and scary Pagan graffiti.

Andrew Lownie wrote an explosive book about Prince Andrew Then came the backlash. Legal threats. Journalists were told they’d lose Palace access if they spoke to him Anonymous social media accounts accused Lownie of visiting sex workers. This is how ‘the Firm’ works youtu.be/OJHaVsDVv-c?...

Went to the disco on Sunday and copped off with Kevin.

"I'm going to bankrupt HEALTH ensurance companies so Americans can get their health ENSURANCE directly from . . . well, I haven't figured that part out yet. Thank you for you inattention to this matter." (He's killing health insurance because it's named after a man who made fun of him at a dinner.)

This is some dystopian BS. #BoycottTarget

Why do you think they’ve laid waste to the postwar international system? They’ve done it because if it still had any force, then the most important leaders in numerous white person countries would soon be serving decades in jail for knowingly abetting war crimes.

Sing along kids: At the top level, the business of the British press is recruiting crackpots and wingnuts to attack and stomp on people their staff despise and want to harm. There is seldom any higher or more noble purpose at work.

I’ll say this for local councillors: at least they do resign and fuck off, they don’t do tours of TV studios complaining about being cancelled. You can actually be rid of them, even if there are legions to take their place.

Why does she always look like she’s trying to spot a lighthouse through a deep fog?

As a general rule: The left is to blame if the right wins and the left is also to blame if the left wins. The center is never to blame. Maintain that line and you’ll always have editors willing to publish you.

The corruption and criminality are staggering. #NoKings #NoRobberBarons

the tory proposal to deport 4-7% of the uk population is a fascist one - & we have to call it that my latest with @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/tories-con...

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

The billionaires, who own "the free press", want you to know they are not happy...

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

From this, it is easy to see that the plan has always been to entirely wipe out Palestinians (aka genocide): www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You don’t raze entire towns and cities street by street with controlled demolitions and bulldozers for any military objective. You do it because the aim is to wipe those places out of existence forever, and it’s not like they’ve been hiding this.

Because the lads choose amongst themselves what is news and what is a snooze, and the choice is heavily directed by the Sun, the Mail, the Times and the Telegraph. So that means that it’s usually wall to wall screeching and bullshit, every day of the year.

Isn’t it amazing how we can never get the human shit out of the rivers but the right kind of rich grifter can propose anything - downloadable pizza, the 2034 World Cup on Mars, shooting people to work with a railgun - and these clowns will go “that sounds great, you’re a genius”.

When your politics are awesomely popular with an enthused and passionately supportive public, and you personally are beloved by all

HERE IT IS!!!!!

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
