Britain will always be nostalgic for the second world war, because it was pretty much the only time in history they can claim to have been 'the good guys' without being laughed out of the room.

A fantastic evening with @lunatraktors.bsky.social at Jamboree, Kings Cross. Broken folk and curses are the future! Marvellous stuff.

The phobia of romance is of course deeply rooted in misogyny and snobbery, but perhaps there's another angle: a terror that love and intimacy are formulaic? And linked to this, the denial that the dominant litfic trope—clever sad hero is misunderstood—could EVER be considered a codified genre...

Greetings from Devon. Gorgeous show last night opened by Folk Here Tonight with a real Mari Lywd! Thanks to all who came, and for the stamping, whooping standing ovation at the end. Thanks especially to the magnificent Milly and Mark (@field-system.bsky.social) who put the whole thing together.

This is naked corruption, revealing that party lines — and voting by party loyalty — are meaningless. Tactical voting now means getting rid of the techno fascist shills no matter what coloured tie they wear.

What on earth is happening?
  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

Your regular reminder that the apocalyptic "self-aware all-powerful #AI" doomsayers and the euphoric AI utopia bros are basically the same people, making basically the same false claims. These people have brainworms, and they're eager to spread them.

We not only stopped using Spotify, we removed our all own music from it. Ripping off artists, hey we're used to that. Investing that money in killer robots though: too far. But it's convenient! It's cheap! It's normal, everyone's on it. You have to be part of it or you're missing out. Nope!

Randomly, our morning conversation today happened to be about teddy bears, dollies, poppets and #Winnicott's idea of the #TransitionalObject: the child's first possession, treated as significant / sentient by caregivers. This forms the bridge between the inner fantasy life and consensual reality.

With the AfD’s success in Sachsen-Anhalt, this is as good a time as any to mention #MigrantStrike2028 - that, as you read this, immigrants across Europe are organising to launch some of the biggest strike actions that the continent will have seen. They are doing this in response to the attempts by the far-right to take their lives and their labour for granted - particularly at a time when, due to Europe’s ageing population, it needs them more than ever.  They refuse to be treated as scapegoats and this movement is just the beginning. If you would like to join the effort, please email migrantjusticecop@protonmail.com
