“I don’t think we can mitigate for climate change,” he said.

The fact that we are stuck with politically beige leaders like this is so demoralising.

WE ARE FACING A CRISIS THAT COULD DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. STEP UP, YOU FUCKERS. SHOW SOME FUCKING LEADERSHIP.

But they can subsidise Ai research and Tech companies who will damage the environment further.

I am so sick of these corrupt snake oil sales folk running the country.

I was one of the leaders of Scrap The Green Paper because I & my friends were suicidal after learning proposals for ~84% of disabled to be pushed into work

I've not recovered from pushing myself to fight it, nor my friends

I'm so broken & Humphreys wants a house in the park on our backs

Look at these fucking assholes.

A roster of asshole stand up comedians doing the fucking Riyadh Comedy Festival, many of them jerkoffs who piss and moan that they can't say anything anymore because they're too lazy to be actually funny, meanwhile , there's a list of things these bullshit artists can't say in the contract from the absolute ruler of Saudi Arabia, a country that crushes free speech, tortures, murders journalists and executes nonviolent criminals, has the highest prevalence of modern slavery in the arab states, etc etc. Fuck these hypocritical individuals.

Not worried about Steen potentially winning, am worried about the amount of airtime and publicity that will be given to allow them to spout their views (largely unchecked, going by previous coverage of similar people) for the next month if they end up on the ballot

This is so great, very ready for a new LP from this lot!

Stereogum @stereogum.bsky.social · 19d

The new tracks "Liminality" and "Dream State Return" flow seamlessly into one another, and they achieve the same kind of expansive, proggy liftoff that makes Elder so unique

Elder Share New Songs "Liminality" & "Dream State Return": Listen

Elder have been making spaced-out, psychedelic doom metal for nearly 20 years, which means their name is now entirely accurate. The band started in Massachusetts, but they’re based in Berlin these day...

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Politicos, hacks, news organisations and buffoons like Stephen King still clinging on to pretending it’s alright to *PAY* Elon Musk to use his platform - or be on it for a start.

You’re funding a man calling on hundreds of thousands of people to carry out acts of violence.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 28d

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.

"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."
