Where's the fun in this? Why has the kangaroo lady got human hands? Don't make me go there, Mummy!

Repeat after me: the government is good; the government is popular. This message will be repeated at the start of every news bulletin. Citizens will gladly join in, or face consequences.

Disturbing to see every trans person on my timeline vocally distressed about the shit in Kansas, a huge step towards banning trans folk from public life there, and total crickets from the majority of cis folk

It's been decades of trans folk pleading cis folk to step up. If not now, when?

It's a landmark in the history of electronic music, though I didn't know that at the time. I was in favour of weird noises, though.

Trendy art teacher played this album in a class at school. Do trendy art teachers still exist in these times? What are they playing now? The Caretaker?

Allister Heath: The terrifying truth about Frank Harris that the BBC refuses to broadcast.
