Folks, as someone who watched an enormous amount of graphic footage in my time as a journalist and developed PTSD because of it, please do not watch the Charlie Kirk footage.

Trust me. Once it's seared into your memory you cannot delete it.

The Quakers held a silent protest outside the UK's largest arms fair As people of faith stood in silent protest, arms companies inside DSEI continued to strike deals that fuel war, repression, and genocide

#nowplaying Wish by @thecure.com Recent picture disc reissue.

An absolutely astonishing album. Epitomises the breadth of their songwriting talents for me.

Saw them on this tour too.

#NowPlaying Presto by RUSH

So much changed in 11 years. From Hemispheres in October 78 to this in November 89.

He is though

#NowPlaying Roll the Bones by Rush

2025 reissue.

#NowPlaying A Walk Across the Rooftops by The Blue Nile

One of today's purchases from Quicksilver Music

#NowPlaying Stay Human my @michaelfranti.bsky.social and Spearhead .

One of my favourite records ever. One of the greatest records of the 2000s. Released in 2001.

Will just leave this clip here of Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings talking about what’s wrong with America from a 1991 interview and it’s still all very true today

A shout into the void.
Used to follow & be followed by lots of #MDANT folk in the other place.
Are many of those people here?
I'm a music obsessive. Jazz, rock, folk, punk, Americana, ambient, post-rock, allsorts.
Want to follow more good folk.

Sighs in *darts*

Picture shows a vinyl record by the band "Working Week". The record is called "Working Nights" and is being held up in front of a record shop called Quicksilver Music

Another good day at Quicksilver Music in Southport

I've been hankering after some Working Week on vinyl for a few years thanks to the influence of @gillespeterson.bsky.social

Dave at Quicksilver found this for me.

Is Wes Streeting on glue?

It didn't seem to like my reading glasses.

Me too

We're at the stage where the cult followers offer up their own kids just because they hate immigrants and don't want poor people to have healthcare.

C4 would need to only do adverts between sets.....

But yes, a better home than the compromised BBC

UTA dropped Bob Vylan but represents Chris Brown just so you know where the line of acceptability is

Okay folks! We’ve a real opportunity here. This petition is at 78,000 (ends 28 July!). With a good push, we can get it over the line.
MPs *don't need to stick to the exact petition topic*. We can brief them to discuss any & ALL issues with trans healthcare.

A new direct action group calling itself 'Yvette Cooper' claims to have targeted Time Logistics for providing transport in Britain for Israel's Elbit Systems. Its message to the government on social media says, "if you want to ban Palestine Action, you'll have to proscribe Yvette Cooper too"

Almost 20,000 asylum seekers in 6 months proves a crucial point Despite the latest big scary number, this is not a new phenomenon.

It's not complicated: refuse people safe routes, they'll travel dangerously. When people travel dangerously more die, more are traumatised.

@zoejardiniere.bsky.social is spot on here: years of eroding rights in the name of deterrence hasn't worked yet: it's time to try something new.

Not sure why the BBC think the Jewish community need an apology for a "Death to the IDF" chant. Many Jews around the world hate the depraved, child murdering IDF as much as the rest of us, & would be very much insulted. Conflating the two is also antisemitic #BobVylan #BBC

Bob Vylan update: apparently calling for the mass killing of young people is fine if it’s in the Spectator.

And this:

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.

Radar festival were bullied into cancelling Bob Vylan;
Jackson-Smith told the podcast that the option was “put very bluntly” to her, adding: “We could continue with Bob Vylan as our headliner. If we continued, we wouldn’t have the festival happening on Saturday.”

Anyone who is into beers - the guy at Moor (based in Bristol) is a fucking insane Zionist monster
