I went to see The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on 35mm last night at the @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social presented by @firedrawnear.bsky.social & I had thoughts about the film's Buddhist aspect which I explicate here:

Because they know their cult are uneducated, manipulated and too emotionally immature to admit to a painful, criminal history and make amends. Better whitewash it away like graffiti on a wall or something… #drexciyaforever

Oooffff, apparently Hodge Figgis are on the side of Big Genocide, including firing a staff member for his stance on supporting Palestine.

Starvation as a Weapon: Gaza’s Slow Death Under Siege Palestine Square

"Children are not starving because food is scarce. They are starving because the borders are closed. Because aid is blocked. Because food convoys are targeted...

Gaza is not starving. Gaza is being starved. And the world is watching."

Gaza: Pursuit of Survival Palestine Square

Alaa went to get flour for his family. He came back wrapped in empty flour bags—shot dead by Israeli forces. In this heartbreaking essay, his sister Areej Almashharawi writes about famine, survival, and the cruelty of engineered hunger in Gaza.

The Sky Was a Mouth Again, Various Artists on Diet of Worms, 21.07.25. Following the powerful statement of 2024’s Hunger Is Violence compilation in aid of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Diet of Worms returns with a new international release in solidarity with the people of Palestine. This time, the project reaches beyond Ireland’s borders, bringing together an eclectic group of international artists to reinterpret one of music’s most mythic and enigmatic songs: Louie Louie. Titled The Sky Was a Mouth Again, the compilation is a bold reimagining of Richard Berry’s 1955 garage anthem - a song that has echoed through decades of protest, censorship, and counterculture. Across continents and genres, artists have responded to the track with interpretations that are urgent, fractured, defiant, and deeply moving.

The project features contributions from a deeply eclectic and experimental cast: Alex Macfarlane Amber Meulenijzer Burger Service Charles Hayward (This Heat, Camberwell Now) Conrad Standish (CS + Kreme) & Valentina Magaletti (Vanishing Twin, Moin) Elias Rønnenfelt (Iceage) ELLLL Garbaggio (Nic Offer (!!!) and Sadie Laska (Growing)) Guests I.U.D. (Lizzi Bougatsos - Gang Gang Dance) and Sadie Laska - Growing) Junior Brother Lea Bertucci Leda (Sofie Herner - Enhet för fri musik, Neutral) Maarja Nuut White Magic (Mira Billotte & Tim Horner) Nonpareils (Aaron Hemphill - ex-Liars & Angelika Kaswalder) Rich(ard) Dawson The Shifters @the_shifters_101 Wild Billy Childish & CTMF These are artists who blur borders: between genres, nations, sound and meaning. Their versions of Louie Louie are deeply personal and politically resonant - unraveling the song’s iconic riff into haunting drones, percussive mantras, distorted noise, spectral melodies, and everything in between. Available on limited-edition cassette and digital download via Diet of Worms Bandcamp on July 21st 2025, the compilation features striking cover art by Irish artist Cian Walker @_cian_walker_ All net proceeds will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) @medicalaidpal @unrwa

Diet of Worms are releasing another compilation in aid of Palestine on 21/7/25 - The Sky Was a Mouth Again.

All net proceeds will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

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.”

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good

All music events, large and small, should have a halftime show in the middle where some people play a sport for ten minutes or so.

We're looking for people who've had to transliterate their names from another alphabet into the Latin one -- or who've even changed their name to one easier for English speakers to pronounce -- upon moving to Dublin. Want to talk, for an article, about the change: how you decided, how it feels?
