In 15 years when Peter Mandelson is next sacked from the government, having been caught red-handed robbing a bank, commentators will confidently predict that his career is definitely over this time.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

You can't imagine the impact of this French ad from 1990 (by publisher Glénat) at a time when manga & anime were seen as shameful and dangerous for young people in France.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

I regret to inform you that “1979” by Smashing Pumpkins was released in 1996, which is now 30 years ago. Meaning a similar song released in 2026 would be called “2009”

Day 3: Explosions In The Sky - Your Hand In Mine

Went through a strong post-rock phase in the mid-00s ("Vocals?A chorus? That‘s yesterday‘s music!") but there was a lot of great stuff around. The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place is still one of my fav albums.

The British Museum posted Al slop and quietly deleted it. Here's what it was and why it matters.

Narrowly missed out for my Radiohead top 30 (spoiled for choice), but definitely worth mentioning here. Great way to open an album.

Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social
for bringing Liam back to his friends and families.

He endured more than any 5-year-old ever should. Now more than ever, we need to get ICE out of Minnesota.
