It's an interesting little documentary, a bit weird and a bit sad too. One man who never quite lived out his dream and another who did, but feels his legacy is tainted. Good to hear from you too Paul, hope all is good x

@paul-s-moran.bsky.social I can't seem to DM on here without age verification, but have you seen this documentary? I was looking up an italo disco singer called Tom Hooker the other day and stumbled across it

Congrats to all the people who have postured as intelligent and morally righteous for years but decided that they couldn’t take a stand against genocide or decided to justify and cheer on the massacre of a people for whatever reason. Now they can go back to playing the intellectual in peace.

Two decades of comics and he just tweeted it out

74 killed in Gaza as Israeli forces strike a cafe and fire on people seeking food Witnesses and medics in Gaza say an Israeli airstrike on a seaside cafe has killed at least 30 people in Gaza City.

How does anyone justify this? Seriously, how?

Israeli strike on Gaza seafront cafe kills at least 20 Palestinians, witnesses and rescuers say The outdoor cafe was frequently used by journalists, activists and local residents.

And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures.

Can I say something

the difference between this and all the “brave anti-woke academic speaking out despite the risks” is that (a) she’s actually risking something, and (b) she’s actually saying something that’s correct

Kind of weird seeing Charles actually do a speech in Canada. He's Jim Carrey's king. He's William Shatner's king. He's Michael J Fox's king

Howling at this massive blow up Michael Myers in Dennistoun put there to advertise bathroom fitters.
