It's been ages but our new album is available on bandcamp. It's a bit postpunk, a bit drone, a bit dub, a bit shoegaze and IDM mixed with Mothra and other kaiju kin. Give it a free listen, criticism is always welcome, praise is cool too.

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”
Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests?

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg)

They are supposed to be better than this. It's bloody risible and pointless because the people they're pandering to won't be happy with anything less than firing squads for foreigners and even then they'd whine that bullets were too humane.

Yvette Cooper has been accused of pushing children “into the arms of people smugglers” after halting a scheme allowing refugees to bring their family to the UK.
The home secretary said the refugee family reunion route was at risk of exploitation and she would “temporarily suspend new applications” until tougher rules are introduced next year. Continue reading...

When I was a kid, and snow was forecast, I'd get really excited and watch the sky for clouds and flakes and any sign that it might happen and I'd keep hoping until it definitely didn't. And when it didn't, I'd be really sad.

Ok it's crunch time, I cannot express enough how much help I need right now. I have until tomorrow to get my rent paid or I'm going to get an eviction notice. I'm short about $800 right now. I'm also at the end of my unemployment benefits, and I'm still going to be in the disability process.

I'd like to wish health, longevity, antibiotic resistance and plentiful feasting to every flesh eating superbug encountered by JK Rowling
I wish exactly upon JK Rowling what she wishes on trans people. Exactly the same level of happiness and physical well-being that she is trying to manifest for them.
So that should be fine, right?
