ha! had a similar reaction to that moin album too. one big meh.

“LOOK, FAIR ENOUGH, I FANCY HER TOO, BUT I ALSO HAVE BOTH PROFESSIONAL AND PARENTAL REASONS TO BE HERE, OK?” might be tricky to fit on one board in a readable way

was reading a thing recently about how the best way to understand the contemporary US is to read pretty much all politics as the shadow of factional struggles within the security state (similar to Russia, Pakistan, plenty of other places). a bit simplistic, obviously, and not entirely...

all she has to do is turn up around soundcheck time and carry a box into the room while wearing a baseball cap

maybe it was charlie’s fave but the others all always hated it

this is crucial. I reckon this john oliver bit, from back in May, during the most recent Gaza assault, might end up being seen as one of the moments that accompanied a flipping of the centre of gravity of american liberal opinion — which is one of the things that the Israeli state seem very...

i dunno man, it’s a pretty funny gif

still yearning for sheer futurity in a capitalist realist hauntological blasted hellscape of eternal retro, etc

does anyone have the details of just how this all started? like was sally *intending* for it to become a controversy, or was this some kind of attempt at a gotcha emerging from some fairly low-level publishing agreements? because if it was a gotcha, it doesn’t seem to be working out how they...

am really into this. plenty of drones and strings and ominous moods. play loud while looking at a melting glacier

saw a sound installation that lucy railton did a couple of weeks back in a former underground water reservoir, was pretty cool

saw a perceptive comment along the lines that sally ought to now drive the point home by commissioning a translation into yiddish I bet she’s glad right now that she’s not on social media

in fairness she overthrew the government of libya more-or-less off her own bat just to impress various pentagon ghouls. don’t think she was riding on anyone else’s CV
