@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

If we hadn't been complicit on Palestine; if we hadn't appeased Trump on Venezuela, might the Global Majority have stood alongside Europe, with all of us stronger, on Greenland?

Well I'm glad that you found a resolution, but that doesn't sound good on their part. It makes you wonder how often they pinch content and just get away with it.

@simonbrew.bsky.social Hey Simon, did you ever reach an amicable agreement with Kino Lorber on that No Way Out release? Was thinking of buying some of their releases but that incident put me off them ever since you mentioned it

@acjimbo.bsky.social please tell me you're hosting AFCON on channel 4, mr richardson

Something we don't talk about enough is that Hillary Clinton, in addition to being evil, is stupid.

@paul-s-moran.bsky.social Spotify has been pretty awful at recommending new music to me of late, but I've been enjoying this album. Some great moments

TEAL&TONIC

There's a lot of indie sampling out there that can't possibly be cleared. Listened to a lot of vaporwave on there in recent years, which is basically built on slowed down and distorted samples. This one popped up recently and made me go 🤨 open.spotify.com/track/3EkF9g...

@paul-s-moran.bsky.social Have you ever come across this guy's stuff? This track popped up on Spotify over the weekend, probably because I put a couple of his tracks on a playlist a while ago. Has to go down as one of the most unexpected covers I've heard open.spotify.com/track/7HuleI...

Lovely stuff, listened through it while at work today. I forgot about that track I shared, the Herb Alpert sample. Great sample

It's an interesting little documentary, a bit weird and a bit sad too. One man who never quite lived out his dream and another who did, but feels his legacy is tainted. Good to hear from you too Paul, hope all is good x

@paul-s-moran.bsky.social I can't seem to DM on here without age verification, but have you seen this documentary? I was looking up an italo disco singer called Tom Hooker the other day and stumbled across it

Congrats to all the people who have postured as intelligent and morally righteous for years but decided that they couldn’t take a stand against genocide or decided to justify and cheer on the massacre of a people for whatever reason. Now they can go back to playing the intellectual in peace.

Two decades of comics and he just tweeted it out

74 killed in Gaza as Israeli forces strike a cafe and fire on people seeking food Witnesses and medics in Gaza say an Israeli airstrike on a seaside cafe has killed at least 30 people in Gaza City.

How does anyone justify this? Seriously, how?

Israeli strike on Gaza seafront cafe kills at least 20 Palestinians, witnesses and rescuers say The outdoor cafe was frequently used by journalists, activists and local residents.

And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures.

Can I say something

the difference between this and all the “brave anti-woke academic speaking out despite the risks” is that (a) she’s actually risking something, and (b) she’s actually saying something that’s correct
