Obsessive record collector and listener. Rock, Metal, Punk, Pop, and many things inbetween. Occasionally (often) somewhat (Very) political. Green (party) with envy. I don’t call myself an ally, that’s for them to decide.

Stop asking El-Sayed how he is going to protect Jews, unless you’re also going to ask every Christian politician how they plan to protect Muslims. I have yet to see a Muslim politician in the U.S. try to impose their beliefs and laws on to the population. I cannot say the same of Christians

Both Schumer and Jefferies favor continued sending, every year, $3.8 billion dollars of our tax dollars to Israel to allow them to purchase our weaponry to continue their genocide in Gaza and displacement of Palestinians everywhere in the region.

Fuck the Guardian, I don't give two shits if the British Press now want to pin Russel Brand on them but 1) They're not the left 2) we could have had this conversation when Nick 'The octopus' Cohen was protected by them and 3) don't pretend you all weren't mourning Rod Liddle a couple months back

Q: I’m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken? Governor-elect Amy Acton: We can’t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.

How did Britain end up with a legal system that actively helps rich people to crush poorer ones? And provides nastier and more brutal weaponry, the more money you are willing to throw at it. Who did that?

On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault.
l've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking.
She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police.

More of this. “The action comes amid Europe-wide resistance to the rapid expansion of energy-hungry AI, with more than 100 groups involved in a two-day series of protests to demand moratoria on the construction of new datacentres” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/n...

Separate actions also take place outside fence and across Europe in backlash against impact of AI boom

So many Americans, including in government and media, still don’t get the Iran war, because they don’t consider Iran’s perspective. As if the war is a story of high gas prices, and a deal or combat is all Trump’s choice. Iran doesn’t just want the war to end, at this point they want lasting gains.
