Here's to the blank badge. And to everything around it that makes it seem blank. No more then. No more now. To chaos. 🇵🇸🌍🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I find that if you want to watch the best TV shows, you should look for the ones that generate absolutely no online discourse whatsoever. I'm watching Patriot right now. It occupies some sort of quirky cultural quagmire between The Americans and Incredible String Band. It's terrific.

You: my cat knocked my vase off the windowsill. Your Cat: I exist to remind you that you ultimately control nothing in Nature. Entropy dissolves from all directions including the interior. Even your own body will be peeled from you. You will die-- but you will watch your favourite vase die first.

Just because I've seen it from some well meaning people: be careful overemphasising the pro-Palestine independents as a Muslim phenomenon. It doesn't rank highly on top issues even among British Muslims and is a cross community issue.

the other thing is that people have no sense of how much space cars and so they imagine that a road full of cars must be a lot of people when it very often is not. a well-used bike lane transports like twice as many people during a given time as does a road

What makes this even sillier is how it's totally unnecessary to the priorities of the electorate. Starmer isn't appealing to voters at all here, he's appealing to a few dozen newspaper editors and columnists who get off on the power trip of talking utter bollocks about us over cocktails and cocaine

Another beautiful waxy cap mushroom that I'm positive is Hygrocybe singeri. Outside of the neon yellow, you can see a hint of orange peeking out from the other side of the cap, the blackening marks, and the shiny / slimy stipe 🧡💛🍄📷📸🎞

I think that is fantastic: the way that it shows the line between art and content is sometimes determined by how much the creator prioritises or cares about what they're doing.

It's frustrating because I don't think his work is entirely without merit. I used to love watching Monster Madness. It was a really comforting late night watch for me. Sort of like MST3K or old Gerry Anderson shows.

Let me just say this, as a historian, a woman of color, and a person who grew up in Germany: the idea that fascists will soften their politics once they're in office and that democratic institutions have some kind of inherent magical strength is false and dangerous.

It's overwhelming how much there is going on in this song. 20 years after hearing it i'm still noticing strange little parts I never clocked before. I got into music through bands like Pavement and Sonic Youth who aped these kind of sounds. I feel home when I hear this.

I'm currently about halfway through 'Redshirts' by John Scalzi; I wanted to finish watching Star Trek TOS before I started reading, in case I missed any references. It's such a twisted ans foulmouthed love letter to the Enterprise crew. Like if Luigi Pirandello was resurected to write an episode.
