Really enjoying Pet Shop Boys "Man From The Future". Definitely reminded of the old concept albums like The Wall, Six Wives of Henry VIII and War of the Worlds. Simultaneously new and nostalgic. Recommended. #ManFromTheFuture #PetShopBoys

Original post:

Has a nation actually reached the point where this is a bridge too far? Trump allying himself with Putin? Defying Congress, the will of the people?

Have we finally gotten there?

My reply:

No.

America will never reach that point. It has got so comfortable with its relaxed, easy existence that it has forgotten how to be outraged.

In Georgia, in Albania, in France, in Italy: if something pisses them off they storm the streets day after day after day until something changes.

In America, you hold a No Kings day or a Me Too march every few months and sit back thinking you've achieved something.

You then look on with puzzled wonder when nothing changes.

Revolution requires revolution, not an occasional walk in the street.

Grow some balls. Fight!

I know it's not a Bluesky thing - we're supposed to be perma-outraged at society's injustices... But that was a bloody good Sunday lunch at The Cut and Craft here in Manchester. Very highly recommended.

Desperate bullshit from @jackkessler.bsky.social who equates Judaism with Zionism. A slap in the face to the many Jewish people globally who oppose Israel's genocidal version of Zionism.

Tel Aviv protesters. Not everybody has the luxury or means to leave the country they're born in if they disagree with the government. Also, change tends to happen quicker if it starts locally. Kudos to these Israelis for standing up. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm a committed atheist and even I am on the Pope's side here. Numbnuts "Spectro anonymous keyboard warrior" doesn't even seem to know that the Pope *is* elected. Arrogance and stupidity, all In one economical package...

Feed me! Sunday lunch at Blacklock Manchester to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of their opening. They caught us by surprise, too - we have been very regular customers since they opened and to say thank you they gave us the food free! Wasn't expecting that at all.

Bit of local drama. Ro-Ro car ferry on fire between the islands. Fire boats trying to contain it. Been going most of the day

"you hold up a placard condemning genocide you will get arrested" No you won't. But it you hold up a placard supporting a proscribed organisation you will. Conflating those two things is not, I repeat NOT, in any way helping the people of Gaza, and they are not the same thing.

I am so fucking bored with the way Palestine Fucking Action gets shoehorned into every fucking situation no matter whether it's appropriate or not. Tedious mono-focussed people are extremely counter productive to their own cause.

After a very rare night of showers here in Mykonos, a rather dramatic sky to start the day. Since my dirty stop-out hubby only got back about 90 minutes ago, breakfast in a half hour is going to be a subdued affair!

Your timeline cleanse for this evening - Billie, the hotel cat, having a nap after a hard day's eating. At the same time, turning a stone sculpture into living art.
