Its one of the original teaser posters for the movie, back when they still hadn't decided on whether to name it Alien or The Alien. You can see it the back of "The Making Of Alien" by J.W. Rinzler. Amazing book

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 3d

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 3d

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Old So Kool 3 - HUGE! 450 pages of early UK graff history. I've got photos in book 1 & 2, but officially in book 3 along with great company. Amazing to see how the 80's UK scene had its own unique style develop before the magazines and internet.

They erased Banksy’s mural in London — just like they erase Gaza’s story every day. 💔

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

From the LinkedIn of the woman—a white lawyer from Carlsbad, CA—who filmed this encounter and shared the video:

know we're not supposed to share things like this on Linkedn, but I'm going to share it anyway because it was horrifying and it's happening everywhere and it needs to be shared.
This morning when I was driving home after dropping my son off at summer camp, I saw a swarm of ICE agents as I drove past our local Home Depot. It looked like they were tying up some workers, and my first reaction was to pull into the parking lot.
I couldn't think. I couldn't process. I couldn't reason. I just jumped out of my car and started filming.
I then watched as these two people were disappeared into unmarked vehicles, with one of the ICE vehicles trying to back into me when I wasn't looking.
Another woman tried to help. An ICE agent tried to slap her phone down when she tried to get a phone number to call this man's family. They wouldn't let her. Instead, they whisked him away and accused her of obstructing justice.
I'm currently lying awake in bed at 11pm thinking about how these men won't return home to their families tonight, and their families will probably never know what happened to them.
I've been through some traumatic events in my life, but I've never witnessed anything like this.
This was down the street from my son's elementary school in our little peaceful coastal town.
You may not see it on the news, but you'll hear it from me because it needs to be shared.

Ced-Gee is a damn genius. Critical Beatdown is still a masterpiece. There's nothing weak on this lp, and so many tracks that still get your head nodding. Ced Gee and Kool Keith are amazing.
When that Funky intro comes on. Make sure me sit up every time. Relea ed 37 years ago. And still Fire

After 25 years of DJing (and 20 years of starting beats but not finishing them), I'm finally putting some production out...I've got a project coming with @songsbydae, an amazing MC from STL.

The Killjoy EP will drop August 8 but the first single and video "Red Pill 84" dropped today.

As you can see in my scrapbook, we had also printed it out onto brown paper to save money. So not a lot of people would have got the white one back then.
