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

This sort of thing should be added to marriage vows. I mean technically it is in there, but there's room for some more colourful elaboration.

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

'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.

I wondered why @princecharlescinema.com now run a pre-film clip of De Niro in Cape Fear laughing in the cinema, saying not to be like Max Cady.

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.

US science after a year of Trump: what has been lost and what remains A series of graphics reveals how the Trump administration has sought historic cuts to science and the research workforce.

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. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social

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

2000-2025: facts over feelings, no safe spaces, be a fucking man

2026: your dismissive body language has left the fourth Minneapolis infantry with anxiety

'27. Exercise good hygiene' is surely a bit risky in terms of manliness?

Went to the premiere! :) It was a bit of a come-down emerging from the screening into contemporary London, but then any reality is a come-down from edited highlights :/

Happily, there's an episodes guide too: thetvdb.com/series/snub-...

David Bowie and the Droog Superior: Violence and the Dame Memories of the young Bowie are of his glamour, otherworldliness, and gay / bisexual advocacy. But that's not the whole story – another part being quietly forgotten by a sanitising media.

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.

In other news, maybe I'll see you soon? ;) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You Are Not Crazy Reality has become absurd. Those of us who see it for what it is, who know its origins, and who know that it is constructed? We are the sane ones here.

'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...

There's a quite moving bit about Bowie reading a TM review and crying. They interview the reviewer too.

The redemption is seen as beginning with Glasto 2000 - pleasing the majority of the fans with the hits. Which sounds trite as I type it, but it felt like there was something else going on - something about him relaxing his drive to become something new, almost as a graceful prelude to death?

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...
