As I’ve said for years, actual payola was infinitely better than the fake payola streaming services have setup under the table, the mob had the honesty and good will to look you in the eyes and say “this is a criminal operation”.

5/5 "'Surely even those who have not been in the Castle know that one doesn’t behave like that …'"

4/5 "It took me years to realise that job interviews were a ritualized exchange where the point was to determine whether you knew what the right communicative etiqutte was, and that telling the truth made you some weirdo."

3/5 "So my job applications and interviews had an air of total hopelessness about them. I know there’s no way you would give the job to an insect like me, and we both know I couldn’t do it even if by some miracle you offered it to me, but …"

2/5 "You couldn’t become a Real Person by getting a job. It was the other way round: only Real People could get work. Being unemployed wasn’t a cause of shame; rather the sense of shame which I carried around as if it was the core of my being was what prevented me getting a job."

1/5 "When I was unemployed, I was convinced that an absolute ontological gulf separated me from Work. Work – which, like “being in a relationship” – would automatically confer on me the status of being a Real Person. But the horrific irony was that one couldn’t achieve this status.

“No I’ve never had a job …” I should have pointed out that Ivor Southwood has his own blog: here he is on the Fairy Jobmother; and here’s Digital Ben with more on the same theme. Ben’s post is, in the best possibl…

Mark Fisher truly had the tools for living a life with any sort of decency in the 21st century. I've been amazed going back and re-reading K-Punk articles and realizing how prescient some of his words are – and in ways I would have never expected.

Why did no one tell me the Sun City Girls are the greatest band of all time?

Photorealistic image of a hyper-muscular, light-skinned Irish man in his mid-30s with short ginger hair and black-framed glasses, seated at an outdoor round table. He wears a snug light blue button-down shirt and denim shorts, showcasing massive, vascular arms and a broad chest. His friendly smile and relaxed posture contrast with his hulking physique. The background features beige stucco walls, green climbing vines, and a black metal outdoor light.

I only discovered their music this year but it always warps my mind.

Most underrated line in The Sopranos is when Carm says "Billy Bud is a book about an innocent sailor."

Truly doing the lord's work mastering all these 30 minutes songs

@gilduran.com refers to what we’re seeing as “The Nerd Reich” and it became more apt than even he could imagine overnight. Everyone learn about accelerationism, Nick Land, and Curtis Yarvin now, you need to be literate in understanding this landscape.

What a devastating day.

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight.

Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.

President Trump has addressed all this and more in an expansive executive order he will sign tomorrow afternoon called “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.” Here is what the order sets out: The Executive Order establishes Government-wide the biological reality of two sexes and clearly defines male and female. All radical gender ideology guidance, communication, policies, and forms are removed. Agencies will cease pretending that men can be women and women can be men when enforcing laws that protect against sex discrimination. “Woman” means an “adult human female.” The Executive Order directs that Government identification like passports and personnel records will reflect biological reality and not self-assessed gender identity. The Executive Order ends the practice of housing men in women’s prisons and taxpayer funded “transition” for male prisoners. The Executive Order ends the forced recitation of “preferred pronouns” and protects Americans’ First Amendment and statutory rights to recognize the biological and binary nature of sex. This includes protection in the workplace and in federal funded entities like schools.

Most notable:
→ erasing trans people from the law
→ attacking trans people's IDs & federal identification (I expect a trans passport ban to come into effect tomorrow afternoon)
→ detransitioning trans women prisoners and sending them to men's prisons

I know I should be more upset about right wingers, but honestly I am more disgusted by the inane complacency and fake-concern of Liberals who are completely fucking deluded about what is happening and their role in enabling it.

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.
