"This is an important thing to think about."

He's either of those, possibly both, but he's definitely an arsehole.

I wish they'd stop only legitimising the concerns of racists and deligitimising the opinions of those who don't think being cruel to immigrants is a solution to anything. Apparently beyond them.

Bad people make good people wish for bad things sometimes. Somewhat of a corrupting influence.

The footage:

To tolerate implies grimly putting up with something you'd prefer not to, a tissue thin veneer that will disappear given a change in the social climate. It's not addressing the problems. To hell with tolerance!

We really feel the absence of these places.

Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford 4m Olly Robbins' bombshell evidence so far: * The Cabinet Office suggested there was no need to vet Mandelson *at all* * No 10 applied 'constant pressure' on Mandelson to approve Mandelson's appointment and took a 'dismissive' attitude to vetting * Mandelson was given access to the FCDO building, to low classification IT and to 'higher classification briefings' before he was granted security clearance * No 10 showed **no interest** in the actual vetting. The entire focus was on getting Mandelson to Washington as quickly as possible

lol

I'm playing Paradise Garden this Saturday, some time between 7 and 9. It's a fundraiser and there are DJs from Friday to Saturday. I hope to see some of you there x

Much appreciated. I have a feeling we might actually stand a chance of winning this one.

Sign the Petition Save Trongate103 from closure

Please sign. This is an essential arts space in Glasgow that's threatened with closure, and we've had enough spaces closing over recent years. Stop the rot!

I rarely see these, my blocking campaign has obviously been successful.

Stupid ballroom. Meg says why's it called that when there's no balls for her to chase in it, only fat rich people who can't dance?

Oh, no it's the future you can send a WhatsApp and a young fellow comes round in a car. Seriously. I don't have the number but I know people who do! I doubt they'd deliver to your area though.

Aye, but it doesn't really matter if it'll work or be practical or tank the economy or anything sensible like that because the people who'll hear it are fucking idiots who only hear what they want to hear, so why not just give them that?

Oh, you should have taken some E instead, then you'd have been charming! I remember you mentioning something along those lines before actually. And yes, he's a fantastic talent.

It's almost comical how much these fascists - and I include Trump & co in this - mock Christianity. They're really, really pushing it, right into blasphemy and beyond, just to see what they can get away with. Where is your God, they seem to be saying. He's nowhere, we're your Gods.

Ooh!

You'd want to end on timpanis and a gong

Section 5: tambourines
Section 6: trombones

A noisy sex day at that. I hope they weren't in the mood.

And if you buy her books or watch a film or TV show then YOU are funding these organisations too. Nobody can pretend they're unaware.

Oh I see, it's even worse than PMQ's, it's going to be a monologue excusing himself of any wrondoing. Presumably dressed as a hotdog.

Pre-practiced anger. How dangerous. Having had the misfortune of listening to some of these I suppose he'll angrily not anwer any questions, furiously short-changing the public who already can't stand him. Oh, he'll rage as he tanks Labour's chances of power for a generation!

The world knows that Florida isn't entirely representative.

Germany is so confused about this, perhaps understandably, but not least the fans of St Pauli - vehemently anti-fascist - who find themselves supporting Israeli genocide. Not all, but enough to indicate severe cognitive dissonance and mental, and moral, illness.
Get well soon, St Pauli.

An important perspective from an Israeli scholar on the genocide in Palestine. Please listen. Thanks to whoever shared this, BlueSky refreshed while I was listening.

This looks very American!

There's that Soma Lyra. So tempted. My synth loving friend is fascinated too so maybe...

That set-up looks like a wee bit of heaven.
