There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu, There's a little marble cross below the town; There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew, And the Yellow God forever gazes down. --J. Milton Hayes

If she is unchecked. She’ll use her power to illegally advance her personal and party agenda.

We need liberal arts degrees to train people to not fall for bullshite.

The first time I heard of Kami Badenoch, she was refusing to give Kneecap an arts grant they’d been awarded because they support ending British rule of Ireland.

The second time was when Kneecap’s legal team thrashed her in court.

The last time was when they rapped about what a wanker she is.

sociology and anthropology are dangerous to them, because those fields help us understand the power dynamics, ethics, and human cost of what the industries they like better are doing.
Performing arts is hugely important for the economy, but it doesn't benefit them directly.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Nine Inch Nails should proactively deny the current regime the rights to play any of their music, except for their cover of “I’m Afraid of Americans”.

All bands should, probably.

He stopped at my door and looked me in the eye, and I’ll never, ever forget this. I repeated it recently. He said, “Jim, our job is to protect empathy at all costs, and to live groovy lives.”

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.

Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

I am insufferably proud of the pun I made this afternoon in a gaming discord chat.
An image of a discord exchange between two gamers. John W asks why we have not one, but two poison gardens. Michael replies that he has calculated the probability of having two at once. He states that is a poison distribution.

Not the same as @gentlyepigrams.bsky.social , but I once took a date to The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.

Excellent film.

Not for a first date.

Given that there were Victorians who seasoned their food with powdered mummified human remains like it was Tony Chachere’s, I find this unsurprising.

It takes dedication to butcher, dress, cook, and serve 40 people. the motivation may not be that obvious based on the evidence they have.

Analysis of over 3000 human bones from Charterhouse Warren, England, indicates they were massacred, butchered, and likely partly consumed by enemies as a means to dehumanise them, questioning the idea that Early Bronze Age Britain was peaceful 🏺

I don’t think this regime has thought through the whole “was not identified, so we were justified in treating him like a criminal” defense when their kidnap squads are masked and not identifying themselves…
