I don’t think the far right love Israel because they are primarily antisemitic (they are) I think they want to emulate and ethnostate and believe in judeochristian doctrines because they love white supremacy, and they hate Muslims

Be great but for it to happen the ONLY people in the party would be those who signed recently via run for something because the long time leadership is as entranced by big tech not to mention thoroughly in bed with AIPAC and Third Way as to be as ineffective as the GOP

Am in tears listening to the Glastonbury ‘94 version of “Are We Here” from the newly released Orbital recording of that seminal appearance. Sadly it came one year too early for my own Glasto -going. Very envious of anyone who witnessed it and this awe inspiring tune. “What does god say?” indeed!

For a righteous, bloodied but unbowed style post punk take on life in Trump’s U.S in 2026 I can highly recommend the new protomartyr album. For a completely fucked up Wolf Eyes go IDM take on post punk in 2026 I can highly recommend the new Gilla Band. Both are excellent, in their own ways

Meta-Muse is a neat encapsulation of everything that’s wrong with big tech, from the idea that an an AI could be your companion to the banality of making it ‘cute’right through to Matt Bellamy just giving up 20 years worth of social handles to enable its incorrectly chosen name. The era of stupid

The new Jon Ronson book, The Castle, is a compelling, insightful, bizarre and and at times hugely poignant examination of men in the context of online influencers and the socio-economic and institutional failings that pushed them there. A vital read!

I don’t care what he is saying, just that he says it using a voice that is the dictionary definition of “lacking the appropriate gravitas” and even more importantly that he makes me look at him saying it using the most ridiculous set of eyes on almost any human ever. Truly a pathetic specimen

What I find most annoying about this is someone in the BBC thought this was newsworthy. Why? What guidelines prompted them to think this story was in any way relevant? The guys views on immigration alone should have made any journalist pause before green lighting another “Ratcliffe thinks x”story

I've been talking for a while about how Big Oil has tied its fate to Big Tech & vice versa. Big Oil was just running out of products to pitch until Big Tech came along with its energy-destroying data centers. Now, a fantastic name for the unholy alliance: "Fossil Tech." substack.com/inbox/post/2...
