Radicalized by discotheque music.
The over privileged shit outs who urge ‘fight or die’ always want other people to do it on their behalf.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 2w agoElon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"
It’s very far from your archetypal west end musical - but that’s to the good in my book - but here we are.
Possibly the least charismatic man ever to have more than a grand in his bank account.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2w agoThere's a reason Elon Musk rarely does interviews with real news outlets.
My friend Simon has just sent me this astonishing poem that was in his local (Exeter branch) Wetherspoons magazine.
Great cast, fabulous audiences at sold out previews. Now for the real thing. Opening tonight. #ChooseLife
I can't believe a technology built on the theft of other people's work is involved in the theft of other people's work.

David Bowie: You’re Not Alone at the Lightroom Kings X London. Spectacular and moving.
Odyssey is a cinematic masterpiece. An epic that flies by without missing a single beat.
“Without Ted Nugent there would have no Oasis, 90’s, modern popular music.”
Always hoping for a Le Carre or F Forsyth one youve not read One year in Greece I read a @irvinewelsh.bsky.social one I hadnt read ( I think Juice T's classic as decent ride) - Bonus
Wankers. Join in or shit the fuck up with your Mister Logic pish
Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 4w agoUnclear why people are celebrating this. “Well, actually” guys are annoying wherever they’re from.
I know this is cringe and desperate but can anyone help and re post the above to help? @joannechocolat.bsky.social @robinince.bsky.social @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social @tim-burgess.bsky.social @davehaslam.bsky.social @stephenking.bsky.social @irvinewelsh.bsky.social
The set of #TrainspottingMusical The show has a big heart and hard edge. It’ll be very unlike traditional west end musical theatre as we think of it. It’ll break hearts and lift spirits, and infuse in people a sense of rebellious joy.
“MIL maintains the high standards. Begbie & Spud are surely two of the greatest comic creations in recent memory. They don’t seem written so much as summoned, surging into the narrative like a pair of archetypes from some fantastical Nordic cosmology. A cynically entertaining ride.”James Lasdun, NYT
"Irvine Welsh brings back his beloved Edinburgh ensemble for his new novel, Men in Love. Trainspotting has evolved from mere literary sensation into a one-man global franchise for its prodigiously gifted author.” NYT
Ever wonder what happened to Mark Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie, Spud, and Tommy? Look no further! @irvinewelsh.bsky.social returns to the world of Trainspotting with his new novel MEN IN LOVE, out tomorrow in the US. Thank you @nytimes.com for this review:

Christopher T@battan9000.bsky.social · last mo.Trainspotting lads again, or something new? I'd like you to revist Lucy Brennan and Lena Sorenson. That book was great, but I gather not one of your most popular. I loved it. What's this one about?
I interviewed #IrvineWelsh @irvinewelsh.bsky.social, bestselling author of #Trainspotting & many other books, on my TV show "Well Read." We discuss the Trainspotting universe; #Scotland in the #WorldCup; his new books #MenInLove & #CanNothingSaveUs; & much more. Check it out! youtu.be/cyHZRZV0jrY

Dr Luke Walker@drlukewalker.com · last mo.🔥 What a combination - @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @willdalrymple.bsky.social! So much here: - Palestine - India - absence of colonial history in schools - wilful ignorance of politicians & media - and the East India Company's lasting corruption of British democracy 🤑 youtu.be/13zQVPW9LjU?...

Just read these two. Men in Love is a follow up to Trainspotting plotting the love lives, anxieties and schemes of the four main men; The Long Knives is an excellent Crime story - brutal, barbaric, visceral. Just got to read Resolution now to complete the set @irvinewelsh.bsky.social
