A Bowie-esque and absurdist take on the buffering world and poisonous politics we suffer today.

Facing a dilemma and seeking assistance. So if shooter Tyler Robinson has republican parents, is non- affiliated personally and seems to be anti fascist, something I imagine both republicans and democrats are, at what point is this a democratic leaning killing?

Oasis must play every song at 90 bpm. They are the most boring band of all time. The terrible lyrics are just the cherry on top.

Boris Johnson’s statement after the horrific scenes in the US feels highly irresponsible in such times.

Can we get Trumps Micropenis trending please

Just when I thought American politics had peaked in comedic terms, along comes Trey and Matt to completely fucking roast Trump and Paramount, absolutely beautiful.

@owenjones.bsky.social fantastic article in the guardian Owen. Keep fighting mate, we need voices like yours more then ever right now. No matter what political party or right/left leanings, those complicit should hang their heads in shame. Let’s not be silenced .

The pouring rain, distant church bells ringing, thunderclaps. Then that guitar line! Then Ozzys vocal. I still can remember being 16/17 and hearing Black Sabbath ‘Black Sabbath’ for the first time. Changed the course of my musical direction and development in 45 seconds. One of the greatest. #Ozzy

@lewisgoodall.com in light of today’s revelations Lewis, it’s great to see some integrity in journalism for a change. There are a few out there like yourself so keep going!

@carolynharris.bsky.social very disappointed and let down by your decision to vote for the attack on the disabled tonight. Cruel and unnecessary changes, disabled people have been let down by the government we thought we trusted. I really don’t think you get the worry and stress you put on people

Is he though? With Boris and Truss we knew what we were getting. With Starmer everything thing he led us to believe turned out to be horseshit. That’s why it’s worse, it registers on the scale of disappointment, the others couldn’t disappoint because I expected the worse.

Sweet Benfica @sweetbenfica.bsky.social · Jun 22

Kier Starmer is now the opposite of everything he stood for before becoming Labour leader. Career politician, it’s all power and status, there’s nothing worse than putting faith in someone only for them to be worse than the arseholes that came before him.

You can’t control chaos,
You can’t control the direction of the wind,
But you can influence and push things in its way,
Place pieces of the things you’d like to break.
