Sean Ono Lennon being very nearly unique on the internet, in having a view that’s not in itself a part of the problem.

I am against violence. I am against celebrating violence. I’m praying for peace. I’m praying for healing. I’m praying for the family, especially the children. I know what they’re going through. I’ve been through it. I’m deeply scared for this country. The way some people are…



The below is for angry #Arsenal fans going in on #arteta, from an expert who knows more about football than you do. The progress is obvious: calm yourself.

Six years away from the Champions League Second season in a row in the competition that defines the biggest teams and careers, and reaching semis If you don't see #Arsenal's progression is because you don't want to Seven regulars return, 4/5 new starters and back to be one of…

What if lord of the rings is actually a science fiction novel set a million years in the future in a de industrialized society after an extended dark age, amongst various genetically modified organisms that have lost their history ?


Just for fellow Arsenal fans, but this is exactly and precisely 100% correct.

Just remember that Arne Slot inherited a squad assembled by a legendary manager. Arteta took over a club that was rotting from within and going nowhere, he turned us from eighth-placed finishers into title contenders, he made our club relevant again. We have been decimated by…

The problem is, Keir Starmer is under sustained attack by some of the most disgusting, ignorant, reactionary, venal and dishonest people in the world. He can only stem the tide by being much more aggressive, indignant and authentic in his response. But it’s not in his nature.


Believing that democracy is, intrinsically, the least-bad form of government does not entail or imply the belief that the majority is always right. They are logically unrelated thoughts. The first is correct; the second is not.


Greatest group in the history of music.

Miles Davis Quintet - Gingerbread Boy Every man on that stage embodies greatness…



Literally the only fiction he’s ever read is science fiction, yet people think this fool is the smartest human on Earth. I despair.


We forgot the flames. 1945-2010: Evolution is better than revolution. Post-2010: Revolution is better than evolution. So you want to burn things down & start again. But the ability to destroy a flawed status quo does not = the ability to replace it with something better.


On @GaryLineker - a society that kicks someone out of a job they’re good at for the crime of expressing moderate, intelligent, sensible, centrist views, is a society we should fear for.


Just discovered Nala Sinephro: amazing. Gutted to see her Barbican gig in Oct is sold out - more UK dates please. Beautiful explorations of ambient soundscapes with jazz melodies and improvisations. New album imminent. Give this album a listen: Space 1.8 open.spotify.com/album/51HFfu3G…


Some great stuff about the making of Tenet in this thread

TENET was released 4 years ago today. The 11th feature film of director Christopher Nolan and his first trip into time-travel, the story behind the scenes will have you unsure if your entropy is coming or going… 1/52

Beautiful.

Walthamstow tonight ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 This is what a mass movement against the far right looks like @wfsutr #StandUpToRacism



It pains me to see the likes of @DouglasKMurray and @jordanbpeterson (whose critiques of identity politics and the neo-Marxist far left are of value), completely fail to see that right-wing nationalist populism is itself a particularly pernicious form of identity politics.


Violent racist thugs on the streets of Britain. Over ten years the most deranged instincts of the illiterate and ignorant have been deliberately weaponised by the lies of @Nigel_Farage. STOP pandering to him, @BBCNews, and START discussing the damage he has done to the UK.

As the Tories pander to the prejudices and hard-right agenda of Nigel Farage and his supporters, it’s become clear that what’s at stake in this election is nothing less than what it means to be British. [THREAD]


LCD Soundsystem are ripping it up at #Glastonbury right now and I love it. Many musos were wondering 20-odd years ago how you might pull off that ‘dance music with a live band’ thing, but nobody nailed it… except @lcdsoundsystem #glastonbury2024
