If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts Social media accounts that appear to be connected to the 16-year-old shooter are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

The 16-year-old who shot two students in a Colorado high school on the same day Charlie Kirk was killed was a virulent white supremacist and antisemite www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

Why We Pretend When the truth is unthinkable, we lie to ourselves and one another.

Look, I understand why there's so much "debate" abt whether or how to memorialize a notorious bad actor like Kirk, but I think that discussion largely misses what's at stake: the relationship of violence to the white conservative project in the U.S. My latest (icymi):

I've cursed, bled and sworn. Jumped bail and landed up in jail. Life has often tried to stretch me but the rope always was slack.

And now that I've a pile, I'll go down to the Chelsea. I'll walk in on my feet but I'll leave there on my back.

introducing our secondary title: gil heron csc. a few weeks ago i said i working on a new flag for detroit celtic. mentioning how there was no better way to honor “the black arrow” gil heron than with a flag that will one day fly at celtic park. well it’s here and it’s beautiful. this big 8x5 flag was made to memorialize a celtic legend who lived here in detroit for ~55 years until his death in 2008. detroit was gil heron’s home for most of his life, and from this day forward you can also call us gil heron csc ❤️🍀

Dub Side Of The Moon Easy Star All-Stars · Album · 2003 · 13 songs

It still seems fresh and relevant today. I first heard the album in 1979 as a young’un and it’s the only album from my youth remaining on the current playlist. The dub and dubber versions from the easy star all stars are well worth checking out. open.spotify.com/album/2w9qrr...

This sounds epic, cheers!

On this day in 1973, Pink Floyd released their eighth studio album “The Dark Side of the Moon”. It has sold over 45 million copies worldwide and the fourth-best selling album in history.

What are your thoughts on this album?
What’s your favourite track?
