Big red and blue text reads: ***** "A thoroughly exhilarating 60 minites that certainly pulls no punches" - The Recs. Below there are two male-presenting performers on a white stage lit with red and blue. One is upside down in a handstand using the other as a base, their arms linked, leaning away from each other

STUNTMAN is hitting the road this Autumn. Part dance, part theatre, part homage to explosive masculinity – don’t miss this genre-defying, high-octane performance on tour across the UK.

It's so easy for the actual human truth to be buried in the discourse, for our hearts to become inured, deadened under all the bluster and bullshit. "How dare he! Death? To the IDF? He is worse than a Nazi!" Meanwhile every person, child, innocent killed by the IDF is a real person, really now dead.

Mega chuffed for this show to be getting back out… and to ENGLAND of all places! Come see us, it’s fun and silly and good I think

At the end of the day, whoever you are, your position on all this comes down to one question: do you and can you understand Palestinians as fully human, as sharing equally and totally in your humanity?

"chants about death to particular groups" being in the IDF isn't a protected characteristic, dickheads

Statement on CCA’s Violent Crackdown on our Liberated Zone Programme We demand that charges are immediately dropped against the people who were sitting in the foyer between the bar and CCA. We demand the immediate resignation of Roddy Hunter and chair of the board Jean Cameron, who have colluded with the police in this violent attack on our community. We ask everyone to email staff@cca-glasgow.com, gen@cca-glasgow.com, and r.hunter@gsa.ac.uk to demand their resignation. Roddy Hunter should also be removed from his position at Glasgow School of Art. Please BCC artworkersforpalestinescotland@gmail.com, as we are concerned that people’s complaints are not being logged. We ask people to raise concerns urgently with OSCR, the Scottish charities regulator, highlighting the Board’s failure to follow safeguarding procedures which put CCA workers, artists and the public at serious risk of harm. Visit https://www.oscr.org.uk/raise-a-concern/ to do so. Our Liberated Zone programme will continue at Listen Gallery – a grassroots, POC-led, community programmed arts venue that has signed PACBI, and whose vital work puts the CCA to shame. Please come join us today from 12-9pm; we will update with our event schedule shortly. We will not back down. We will reclaim our centre. CCA will never stop the work of liberation.

The Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow sent the cops on its own community bc they organised a cultural programme around Palestine on its premises, in protest of the CCA's board refusal to sign PACBI. Read ArtWorkers 4 Palestine Scotland's statement: www.instagram.com/p/DLUKIXkIt_...

People always think I'm being ungenerous or misstating their views, but this is very explicitly what the "gender-critical" crowd says: Their *best case* against gender affirming care for kids is that the research says it works, but the research doesn't count.

@Dexerto: After 80 hours of playtime, OpenAI's "smartest model to date" has obtained two Gym Badges in Pokemon Red

Imagine outsourcing all your thinking to a guy who still only has two Pokémon badges after 80 hours of gameplay.

Reggie Watts statement, 1 of 2: “I was disappointed to see that Thom's statement centers his hurt feelings and frames his fans' demands for him to speak up as a "social media witch hunt," instead of recognizing the urgency of their call for him to speak out against the world-historical humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I hope Thom will reflect and decenter himself from the public outcry against the genocide, because if he and his artistic legacy stand for love and humanity as he asserts, he can come to see his fans' actions as an act of loving solidarity with suffering people-a needed affirmation of our humanity in these dark times.”

Reggie Watts statement 2 of 2: “I also want to address Thom's repetition of a common rhetorical tactic of those who are devoted to maintaining the status quo, that one cannot speak up or demand an end to the genocide unless they fully understand the deep "complexity" of this historical conflict. I urge Thom's fans to reject this conviction-neutralizing, demobilizing sentiment and trust their hearts. You don't need to be a geopolitics scholar to know that starving children and slaughtering families is wrong. Your membership in the human family gives you authority and, indeed, responsibility to speak up. All positive change starts with conscious and loving people raising their voices and working together to bring a better world into existence. Please keep fighting until our sisters and brothers in Palestine are free.”

Sir Keir Starmer is set to publish a white paper next month setting out the government’s plans to cut net migration to Britain, with changes to the graduate visa route billed as an important part. The move is part of his effort to head off the challenge to Labour from the rightwing Reform UK party.

What exactly is the point of Labour?

Trans women ARE biologically women and no biased court can stop that basic fact from being true. Sex is a homeostatic property cluster containing an array of primary, secondary, and tertiary sexual characteristics. Trans people can and do change sex

Trans rights are human rights, absolutely fuck this bigotry. Solidarity with trans folk today and every day 🏳️‍⚧️

Fuck terfs and fuck bigots.

Solidarity with trans people forever.

Ah crap, there goes the life where I wasn’t thinking about Blue Prince all the time

Genuinely surprised by the number of UK arts organisations that are completely cool with AI despite it ripping off artists and being awful for the environment because it makes their lives a little easier.

It's almost like their "we care" stance is bullshit hypocrisy.

my contribution to today's discourse is this: BDS calls to boycott are not ethical consumer activism in the normal sense of voting with your wallet. BDS is a organized palestinian resistance movement modelled directly on the successful efforts of the AAM in their part ending south african apartheid

BDS calls for Boycott of Microsoft Game Pass, Minecraft, New XBox Consoles No more Call of Duty. No more Minecraft. No more XBox (unless you already own one).

NEW from @dropsitenews.com: BDS adds Microsoft as a "priority target" for boycott, zeroes in on Game Pass, XBox, Minecraft.

Microsoft's AI and cloud programs have been critical to Israel's genocide

be great if all other "difficult decisions" amounted to "doing the exact same thing as has been done for the last 15 years despite overwhelming evidence of the damage caused" life would be a breeze
