Today marks the 13th anniversary of the greatest dream had by anyone ever. On the morning of Nov 12th 2012, I woke up having dreamt that once a year, every year Liam Neeson and I would get together, hang out, smoke fine cigars and drink top-shelf tequilas. It was a wondrous thing.

Aye, why not? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Now all you need is H Jon Benjamin running around the airport shouting "Danger Zone!" in his Archer voice.

Love this. It gave me a much needed laugh.

I remember having an alright curry there once. But that was in 1990.

This has become even more useful as subscriptions for everything from entertainment to toilet paper have become the norm.

Scott Galloway Proposes Economic Strike
YouTube video by Pivot with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway Scott Galloway Proposes Economic Strike

Economic power is one of the last tools that the majority has to make their presence felt. It was mass cancellations of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN that brought Jimmy Kimmel back. We need to do this more to start to regain some measure of control on the cost of living.

This should be obvious but if your business model relies on not paying your staff enough to live on and denying them basic benefits then these staff members unionizing and campaigning for better wages and benefits are not the problem. You are the problem.

Deftones, and other bands for grown adults who dress like skateboarding teenagers BOUGHT the latest Deftones album because you were cool once and yearn to be again? The fanbases of these bands cling to youth in the most obnoxious sartorial way possible.

When I go to the gym I'm always quiet. I just do my thing and leave. Inside though I'm screaming. "Fucking use cuffs!" "Stop dropping shit like you've just broken a world record!" "Full range of movement!"

I've seen a lot of sociopathic posts on LinkedIn over the last few days around layoffs but this one is a real double-whammy of awfulness.

Because the end to the genocide in Palestine is way more important than how a few artists chose to phrase their support for that cause.

So as we watch the UK public discourse descend into a pointless debate about the merits and morality of what some musicians chose to say on a stage in a field in Glastonbury last weekend let's just try to remember why Kneecap and Bob Vylan chose to speak out in the way they did.

All it would take to bring an end to the slaughter is for the US and the UK and their other Western counterparts to say, "If you don't stop dropping bombs on civilians then we'll stop selling you the weapons and the tech support for all of your advanced weapons and defense platforms...

Just as the actions of the Israeli state help foment the very extremism they seek to eradicate so does the inaction of the West.

And so, those who want this genocide to stop begin to resort to more and more aggressive and direct methods to find a way to bring an end to this horrific situation in Israel and Palestine.

For decades, taking the high road and making polite and civilized requests to stop the systematic murder of innocent civilians has not worked.

Asking the US, UK and other Western allies to stop selling Israel the weapons and providing intelligence and logistical support to make them stop has not worked. Asking the EU, the UN or the Arab League to step in has not worked.

30.06.2025 13:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It's simple. Asking Israel politely to stop has not worked. Asking the UK, US and other Western allies to put pressure on Israel to stop has not worked.

We may debate over their choices on how to deliver that message but we should NEVER lose sight of the message itself. The genocide MUST END.

But why did they choose to send their message in such a forceful way?

As we sit here seeing people attack artists for statements they made at Glastonbury last weekend we must remember they are not the problem. Bob Vylan and Kneecap made artistic and moral decisions to send a forceful message calling for the end to the genocide in Gaza.

It's almost like they're not happy fucking up their own country and want everyone else to be miserable too.

Everyone on Signal is now casually checking the app to make sure they're not receiving top secret Pentagon information texts from Pete Hegseth.

There was definitely some kind of primal subtext in there between Egon and Janine. It's always the quiet ones...
