That was a magnificent day. Neneh Cherry onstage with the Slits, and the incomparable Pop Group.

I’m also not attending any altho I’d probably have done 4 or 5 on the tour if it had been the original members.

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

Thank you!

But have you found one you like? I can have that many in my bag and still be disappointed one of my faves isn’t among them. This is enough for me to decide I won’t possibly write anything today and give up.

How to be a man The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...

Important discovery. Advertisement in The Illustrated London News September, 1892 claiming that smoking cigarettes could prevent, perhaps even cure, cholera....

you fools

Why do it? Do you not trust your own ability to think? Do you think regurgitating some software's response will garner a more intelligent answer, which will make you look better? Stop this madness before it's too late.

A mere 45 years ago Jenny!

It says a lot about where we're going that the BBC is now running stories in which they ask lifeboat crews whether they will apologise for using their boats to save lives

This abuse happened between the mid 1990s and early 2000s. In 1997 the South Yorkshire police had a case thrown out of court, after it transpired that they had made the Black male suspect stand in an identity parade alongside *eight white men in blackface*.

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

We did an Origin Story on Netanyahu, did a ton of research, and he remains the only person we've covered who has no redeeming features whatsoever. He started out an arsehole and became a monster. That's basically the story.

Brix met Mark E Smith at the Smart Bar, there’s no plaque.

On this day, 29th July 1962, fascist Oswald Mosley attempted to march through Manchester. However he was attacked by anti-fascists who knocked him to the ground, and had to be rescued and escorted by 250 police #Antifa

I cannot get over how no one in mainstream politics even disputes factual claims like this. Everyone admits that Israel is starving children and murdering desperate civilians. The only ‘debate’ is about what to call it and whether the motives of people protesting it are pure enough.
