I’d bought tickets for Mica Paris’s gig in Watford last night - & although it was more convenient than going to see Mica Watford in Paris, I was tired & decided to stay in. Except I last-minute changed my mind. And a good job too, because every last person was needed. www.patreon.com/posts/144631...

There are plenty of great Hugh Masekela albums out there, of course, but I think my favourite is the one which features a song by his ex-wife Miriam Makeba and another by the president of Guinea.

Gosto muito da música de Paul Weller e dos My Bloody Valentine. Simpatizo com a música dos Wolf Alice. Acho que ainda conseguiria aturar a música de Björk e dos Massive Attack. Espero que nunca sejam alvo de boicote patológico e ultrasseletivo, e descaradamente racista.

2016 happened. Russia did support Trump’s campaign. Good reporters were on it at the time. I wrote it up within the larger context of global oligarchy and neo-fascism in "Road to Unfreedom."
9 years ago,House Speaker Paul Ryan, and Speaker to be Kevin McCarthy had a recorded conversation in which McCarthy says, "There are two people that I think Putin pays, (Representative Dana) Rohrbacher and Trump. Swear to God."

Hamas was supposed to free all the hostages, living and murdered, by October 13.
It’s November 26, and the terror group still holds two.
Hamas has violated the ceasefire every single day. And why wouldn’t they? It’s not like the world cared.

“Poland belongs to Poles, not to Jews.”
A Polish MP and Member of the European Parliament just claimed this, in a nation where Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Sobibor stand as permanent witnesses to what that ideology leads to.
Europe repeats “Never Again,” while some keep proving they never meant it.

Just a periodic reminder.
Wish people would stop saying Trump has done a U-turn on Ukraine. He does this every few weeks. Putin then makes a violent point of ignoring him. Trump's alleged change of heart is just a prelude to his next humiliation by Putin.
