In front of a record player is the album sleeve for Ategnatos. It shows an illustration of a black bird’s silhouette flying towards rocky cliffs, with a narrow waterfall crashing over the edge.

A clear record with turquoise and white splatters sits on the record player. Behind is the sleeve for Coma, which shows a purple eye, with steeples for eyelashes, and a waterfall pouring from it.

New single from Vilt is also a bit different, but good. Worth listening to their last few singles if you haven't already, for fans of Swedish melodic death metal. #MetalSky

New Lamb of God is a bit different, not bad!

It does end with a fade out though, which we all know is the cowards way of ending a song...

Fundamentally, if you were designing a refugee policy that annoyed everyone, then I'm not sure you could do much worse than still accepting refugees but turning them into a permanently precarious underclass.

Screenshot of the flotilla tracker webpage. It shows 44 boats en route to Palestine. They are currently just north of Egypt.

Oxfam GB | Chancellor Rachel Reeves: Tax Wealth Now It’s time to tax the super-rich. Demand a Wealth Tax today.

I've signed the new petition from @oxfamgb.bsky.social, calling for a 2% tax on wealth over Β£10m - which could raise Β£24bn annually.

There is money out there, but it's being hoarded by a few wealthy individuals - lets change the system that allows this to happen πŸ‘‡

In deadly seriousness: I think we’re fucked both short and long term because we have been shown these people will not tolerate threats to the Thatcherite consensus; that they will fly the plane into the mountain rather than concede an inch, and that *anything* is preferable to reversing any of it.

Keir Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme The prime minister believes a new scheme would help crack down on illegal working in the UK.

If he's looking for a policy hated in equal measure by left-wing progressives, rights-focused centrist liberals, and right-wing conspiracy theorists, he may have hit his mark. But doubtless he and McSweeney have some tiny but apparently vital electoral segment in mind. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
