Can't hold a World Cup in a country where the dictator's secret police are executing peaceful protesters in the streets.

I was today years old, listening to @shaunwkeaveny.bsky.social when I realised that the famous Loaded remix by Andrew Weatherall samples The Emotions!

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

AI ruins fucking everything. Again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Paul Bettany getting The Smiths played on Radio 2 on Boxing Day. Always knew he was a good guy, since Gangster No 1.

Last-minute gig idea! A knock-off VHS that looks a bit like a classic Disney cartoon:

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

“And what is the charge? Eating a seal? A succulent Chinese seal? GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!”
