I dunno how the actual statistics play out, but I still seem to hear a lot from Gordon Brown up here in Scotland. Apparently he has his own 'think tank' FFS.

Hard to be shocked anymore, but this did it. Unbelievable. Right there out in public.

‘The Fourth Wall’ (Collage 11/25, Doug Campbell)

Part of Priest's defence is that they couldn't afford a round of fish and chips when they made the record, and if it had occurred to them to brainwash their audience, the message would have been "Look guys, buy a record. PLEASE!." Clearly, these are not concerns for the AI industry.

First band I really remember seeing on TV as a kid. Set a standard, and one that damn few rise to, it has to be said.

This is the horrible little brat that sings the song at the end of Cabaret, isn't it?

This should have been an instructive moment in people’s understanding of just how much people are willing to pay economically for racism and xenophobia.

Just to echo Rodent, UK politics makes much more sense if you understand it as Thatcherism collapsing in 2008 but persisting as gospel among the elites, who then spent the next two decades setting up various scapegoats to slaughter and then go, "Whoops. Turns out the blood is in another neck!"

’Bold Cosmonaut of the Vibrational Planes’ (Collage 11/25, Doug Campbell)

'Song of the Demogorgon' - an old collage I made way back in 2017. AKA 'Jane Russell, as Beautiful as Tigers Fighting'

Branded to Kill is also awesome!

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

‘The Silent Era’ (Collage 11/25, Doug Campbell)

I think that's very much how it is, along with the assumption that the markets will go ballistic if a government actually does anything.

Yes, there's been a lot of talk about "Lest we forget" recently. We definitely don't want to be forgetting any of this.

I suspect I've got a few decades on the OP, but no arguments about his conclusions.

Old school situationist feel about this, and of course it's bang on.

'To Charm a Salamander' (Collage 11/25, Doug Campbell)

Excellent investigative work from The Mill.

Huge fan of Steven Arnold, have managed to collect a complete set of his astonishing photo books. A restored version of his underground feature film Luminous Procuress is available from Second Run.

Something that should be borne in mind when looking at the generation currently in power in the UK is that most UK boys comics were WWII war comics at least up until the late seventies, and pretty gung-ho at that.

Crash Bandicoot could do Kier Starmers job, but Kier Starmer couldn’t do Crash Bandicoot’s job

Beautiful!

‘An Adventuress of the Great Indoors’ (Collage 10/25, Doug Campbell)

😄😄😄😄😄

A characteristically astute insight from Mr. Guy. I think we can expect the structure to remain in place for the foreseeable future.

Horseshoe theory all over again, and it's still bullshit.

‘The Fiery Angel’ (Collage 10/25, Doug Campbell)

Based on your research and the evidence, I'm sure I'm giving HPL too much credit, but on my last reading of 'The Rats in the Walls' I did wonder if Lovecraft had some sort of murky, unconscious awareness that his family had been involved in awful things and that he was implicated.
