That's insane. I'm sorry to hear it

I'm not sure which of these are on Bluesky, but this was my #tidal listening in January.
Let's try tagging...

Ugh, that's so dumb. When I report tweets that are actually hateful or illegal, nothing happens. But people can do this. Madness. That's what happens when the owner of an app goes fascist.

It really is. What's gone on?

This is why Trump is focusing the media on Iran. Smokescreen.

He's creating his own Iran. Ayatollah Trump.

This is what I call a protest song. Great stuff.

YouTube video by David Byrne David Byrne - drivers license (Official Audio)

I'm so here for this David Byrne cover of #DriversLicense - he plays it so straight, it destroys me.

Hopefully this will replace Johnny Cash "Hurt" on all the lists.

Love that 😍

They're in such trouble 😈

As long as it's fixed for when I get home, I'm good

Thought it was just me! That's a relief

Ofc. Sparky to my friend

Only have one.

I'm using my Sunday name on here 😀

That shouldn't happen to someone as amazing as you

Are you still on?

I've had two gigs in two nights - and survived at my ripe old age.
Pics probably to follow.

Israeli missile hits Gaza children collecting water, IDF blames malfunction The Israeli military said it intended to hit an Islamic Jihad militant in the area, but that a malfunction had caused the missile to fall "dozens of metres from the target."

IDF doing a lot of "regret" and a lot of "review" at the moment, but they're still killing multiple children every day.
Governments around the world continue not to act.

Manchester Radar Festival forced to remove Bob Vylan: "I cannot express clearly enough that I wanted them to perform" Radar Festival has said it was forced to remove Bob Vylan from the line-up following their controversial Glastonbury 2025 performance.

This is actually quite sad. I would ordinarily be hating on a festival for removing Vylan. But to read that Radar didn't want to, but were pressured into it does get me in the feels a bit.

They were a headliner, and bigger now than ever.

It's all part of the sleight of hand. "Vylifying" musicians merely amplifies UK's impotence in the face of real genocide.

While we're removing sets from the #bbc #glastonbury archive, can we also delete the set by the 1975?
Once a mediocre band who at least had interesting stage chat, they are now a mediocre band who shies away from "being political" when they have the biggest stage of all. Literally.
Pathetic.

Sounds like BS to me. Vylan were (in a crude and self defeating way) challenging the genocidal war machine that is the IDF.
If this shadow minister is conflating the IDF with British Jewish people, then he's not well tethered to reality, and really being quite dangerous.

While our media lose their minds over what people say on stage at concerts…

It was a stupid chant. But the IDF is actually causing death to a lot of people, in numerous countries.
Maybe the drama fest that is modern media could address that.
Maybe the UK government could proscribe the IDF rather than pile on Vylan.

Being an adult... Went to London Wednesday-Thursday. Now in London Saturday-Sunday.
Back up north yesterday.
At least this is for a fun reason (#ironmaiden) rather than a less fun one (#work).

I'll never listen to "Peg" in the same way again 😂

Government to ban Palestine Action, home secretary confirms The announcement comes as the group holds a protest in central London.

If it's this easy to proscribe an organisation for... putting paint on things, why's it taking so long to proscribe the IDF for genocide and illegal strikes on numerous sovereign states?

Do we do pics on here? I'm in the midst of a ton of gigs, so wondering aloud if this is mainly for text or if you like pretty pictures of distant musicians.

Oh wow. This I did not know! I've not seen Blue Bloods, but those promo pics of him looking all authoritarian are probably just from his camera roll, in hindsight.

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

What N. Ireland is experiencing right now is a form of state media censorhip to cover up the overwhelming level of paramilitary involvement in the far-right, white supremacist riots that have swept the North. While cameras and narratives focus on the 'youths' - the men in the shadows .. [1/n]
