Aya! Go listen to "hexed". It's absolutely incredible.

A lot of people are only sharing the headline, but the subheading is, to me, worse. It's one thing to say 'we're bootlickers who don't necessarily agree with him but could conceivably use the ties we have to negotiate' and quite another to say 'we agree with him, fuck marginalised people lol'

Dark Magus. One of the best. Not just one of the best by a group headed by Davis but one of the best by anyone ever.

I've said it before but Labour are completely ignoring Scotland because they think they've "got it back". Scotland leant Labour their votes because we knew the Tories had to go and the present system gave us little other option. That's all.

Imagine you're facing a political party that's shat the bed as bad as the SNP and you hand them back a massive lead because you simply refuse to do anything good.

Poll average for the next Scottish Parliament election showing Labour and the SNP close around the time of the general election and then Labour collapsing into dust after they entered government.

This is why Labour will fail. They have no identity beyond what the mainstream media wants. They have no concept of the extent to which Scotland leant them their vote because we had to get the Tories out. Their ineptitude is leading us straight to a Reform/ Tory pact.

The fundamental problem is that Starmer's government just won't confront powerful economic interests. So it tries to fudge the issue: we'll let housing continue to be used for investment, second homes, AirBnBs etc, we'll let rents keep rising, but if we build loads, something's bound to change!

Jim O'Rourke was 23 when he released this absolute masterpiece. 23. Wild.

"Disengage", an album by Jim O'Rourke. This is compact disc and the visible part of the CD tray reads "2CD" indicating that this is a double album.

Fact-checking is not censorship. Requesting evidence is not censorship. Refuting falsehoods is not censorship. Stopping a lie from travelling halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on is not censorship. But Zuckerberg's grovelling to Trump will sure as hell lead to censorship.

Started 2025 by going back to the source. Nurse With Wound have long been a core favourite for me.
