Buzzing to see The Deadlians again this weekend. The last time I saw them I was familiar in passing but came away thinking they may just be the best live band in Ireland. Be great to see them in a festival setting

Ok so this guy’s just trolling

A post which has the potential to do wonders for the pro-nuclear lobby (me)

The new thing that Bluesky is being outrageously obtuse and displaying zero intellectual curiosity about is ADHD. Pissed off by a provocative name of a TV show they have come to a position where they have rejected outright the possibility of a link between psychiatric and social conditions.

Watched ‘Home’, the extremely iconic and infamous episode of The X Files which is supposed to be sooooooo fucked up and scary, man. Meh. Didn’t bother me at all. 🤷‍♂️

Listen, I get that the world is difficult to make sense of at the moment (which must be especially hard to take if you’re an FT columnist), and I get that ”Covid” offers a handy explainer. But I fear that’s just an easy way to avoid doing the difficult work of analysing structural conditions.

Thought this was obvious, no? That’s not why people buy organic eggs

Today’s not the time to police people’s grief. That time is tomorrow

are we still discussing the odyssey

the best thing the states ever did was ban online gambling and then they just shot themselves in the foot. most embarrassing own goals compilation

Is it the greatest sporting event you’ve ever seen, or did it just happen 2 days ago

This is what happens when the LRB escapes containment. I’m thinking of when Stewart Lee is in a big arena and speaks to his fans in the front rows, “don’t worry, it won’t last. It’ll just be us again soon.”

Why not?

Officially quit my job. PhD starting in September. I’m about to get infinitely more annoying

The thing missing from a lot of Nolan discourse is that he has dramatically improved as a filmmaker (and especially as a writer) since the days of Inception. He’s still got major flaws but stuff like Oppenheimer is actually clever, while Inception just thought it was.

Hilarious that the press tried to tell us that the new Kelela album was her “rock” or “punk” album, as if (a) we don’t have ears of our own, and (b) it doesn’t include some of the most glorious R&B of the decade.

Some great yank-brained Pitchfork nonsense in this article about Sinead O Connor. It is “remarkable“ that someone “raised in Ireland” (note: not simply “Irish”) would choose to … go on television?!

Wow so you guys have never read any actual criticism before eh

The Trojan horse was a real shitty move when you think about it. Lousy

Do you know what random thing from ten years ago has just popped in to my head and annoyed me all over again? When people inverted Gil Scott Heron to say ‘the revolution WILL be televised! 😉”. No it won’t!! That’s the whole point!
