If you are unlawfully killed by the authorities, you posthumously become a terrorist.

'Extreme inequality creates an “Epstein class” of global predators, exploiting the rest financially – and in other ways. It creates an ethos that no longer recognises our common humanity, that sees other people, as Musk puts it, as “non-player characters”' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

8. You cannot have both a free market in media ownership and a free market in information and ideas. The oligarchs who dominate the sector stifle inconvenient thoughts and promote the policies that protect their fortunes.

On Sale to Members Tomorrow 1PM – Don’t miss GAME on 25th March, featuring Post-Film Q&A with John Minton (Director), Marc Bessant (lead actor) and Geoff Barrow (Producer). Written and produced by Portishead co-founder Geoff Barrow, Game is an unpredictable thriller set in the 90s rave scene.

No president should be able to get away with doing this stuff month after month, least of all one with a 35% approval rating. Too many enablers in government, far too much complicity in big business.

Almost feeling sorry for his supporters and apologists.

We've seen what ICE does in public. Imagine what they do in private.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers. Take a look—the numbers are staggering.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Great piece on Bowie's relationship to imagery of violence, taking in fascism, A Clockwork Orange and punk. I did not know Bowie's mother was a supporter of the British Union of Fascists. www.travellerintheevening.com/p/david-bowi...

'We humbly apologize that the last batch was not young enough.'

Go if you've not been before, or not been in a while. Wonderful cinema.

'I lost her way back at “sovereign wealth fund.” I shouldn’t have used the term. ... The whole premise of a sovereign wealth fund sounds like a conspiracy. In fact, all finance sounds like conspiracy if you try to explain it out loud.' rushkoff.substack.com/p/you-are-no...

Just caught a showing of this, worth seeing. I thought it'd be in-detail about the last album, but it's also a journey through his career with the end always in mind. Moonage Daydream had a bit of that. This is more sober, sombre, and quietly emotional. www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Ju...

'For an administration that is building its defining legacy around upsetting the world order for the short-term opportunity to enrich an inner circle of family, cronies, and hangers-on ... Venezuela’s oil and Greenland’s rare earths look more the same than different.' www.wired.com/story/3-keys...

'We live in a world, in the real world … that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world.' What are the odds that this will be blamed on the postmodern left & Foucault? edition.cnn.com/2026/01/06/p...

This breakdown of some of the 'information' broached in a Joe Rogan interview with Mel Gibson is shocking & not surprising. Two of the many dumb rich men making the world worse. www.monbiot.com/2026/01/05/d...

Great interview www.podchaser.com/podcasts/dis...

'MAHA' was always just a joke. 'The EPA and its chemical safety office is helmed by two former executives from the American Chemistry Council, a trade group that represents nearly 200 of the nation’s top chemical makers and has welcomed the agency’s new stance.' www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I like books that don't aim to be perfect, vacuum packed products. I like them to breathe.

I got this hexagon cutter for Xmas. What use is that? Well, applied to random magazines found on trains it can act as a sort of a visual sampler device.

'Anybody who pretends there's something else going on here is willingly participating in a delusion, which is harder to defend than support for the totalitarianisms of the past, because it is all so obviously hollow and idiotic.'

The ancient world was full of riotous color and strange ornaments, much of which we have direct archaeological evidence for. It would be nice if even one project tried to bring that to life.

Fascinating exploration of transness and alchemy, via Jung, and Hitchcock's Vertigo: metapsychosis.com/on-hitchcock...

Very long but very worthwhile. Not finished yet, will post some quotes and facts from it, starting with: 'Prior to Thatcher, around 80 per cent of state spending on housing was used to actually build houses. Now 85 per cent goes on housing benefit' (= landlord subsidy) salvage.zone/kind-of-blue...

You're looking at an on-duty #spycops officer. He told his wife he was doing secret work vital to national security. He was actually living with 'Alison', a teacher & trade unionist, spying on unions & antifascists. This week, the public inquiry will question him in person. Follow us for more.

Starmer et al will have lucrative careers in banking, consultancy or whatnot after they've destroyed the Labour Party. They'll be amply rewarded for a job well done.

The more wealth a ruling class accumulates and the further it gets from that wealth's actual sources of production, the more mentally fragile it becomes and the more it shapes its impressions of the world to its delusions and manias.
