Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Good choice! It's a mind-blowing film, very underrated.
"Why won't you go to the Moon, Cutshaw?"
Looks great, Duncan! 👏
Maximum Thrill Power! 💥
Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Okay, it actually *is* part of the Armada Lions series, but the logo doesn't really stand out 🙃
Meanwhile, our cat looks like this most of the time.
I picked up a copy of Alan Garner's The Weirdstone of Brisingamen yesterday, the last one of his books I've been looking for. Not in the Armada Lion imprint like my others, but I'm still happy to have found it.

Fortean TV? Yes please 🙏
"Hai!"
"With backing band sound-system" 🎵
Bloody hell. Yep, sad news indeed.
Was that the Bristol Bierkeller? Such a travesty that the venue was forced to close. New "concerned residents" in Bristol are always trying the same thing with the Fleece, which has been a music venue since 1982 🙄
Great choice 👌 🎵
We are stuck togethir on a tinye beautiful driftinge rocke wyth nobodye outsyde and nobodye cominge to save us. We are the onlye ones heere yn a wild expanse of night and silence. We sholde be lovinge each othir all the tyme. We sholde be greetinge each othir "hey, miracle!" We sholde be daunsinge.
I've been listening to a lot of Cocteau Twins recently, which has led me to This Mortal Coil, which has led me to the late, great Tim Buckley. I've never properly listened to this version of Song To The Siren before but, wow, it's beautiful. I really should investigate more of his music 🙏🎵
Let me tell you a story (before the ship explodes):
Zany Zack Polanskis green party are selling a future that nobody sane would choose
That future: Lower bills. Tax billionaires. End Rip off Britain.
Who's in?
Pop the kettle on before a little time travel with our channel premiere of PLAY FOR TODAY: THE FLIPSIDE OF DOMINICK HIDE (1980) at 9:05pm #TPTVsubtitles
Posting a picture of yourself as the messiah to distract from an unwanted war you started to distract from the fact you’re the star of the Epstein Files.
Absolutely. Great to see some positive change for the people of Hungary 🇭🇺 👍
Let's hope it starts a trend in certain other countries 🤞
🎵 He's the Orban replacement, baby
Here comes the twist
He's also populist 🎵

Oh yeah, it was very tense, but it was so good to see the mission end so well 🙏
We're currently rewatching Marchlands, and Alex is fantastic in that 👌
Christopher Smart – and engraving of a man in 18th century clothes and wig; Anton Sillyname – a man with a shaved head posing and trying really hard to look scary and important in a silky shirt in front of a pentangle with a goat’s head in it
Two anniversaries of births today: the 304th of religious ‘maniac’ Christopher Smart, best known for a poem about his cat Jeoffry, who is “the servant of the Living God duly and daily serving him”, and the 96th of… er Anton Szandor LaVey, who founded the Church of Satan 🧵
Imagine if the American government was as scientific, brave and competent as NASA and the Artemis II crew
