a shocking - and actually quite terrifying - open dereliction of this government's responsibility to its own citizens

Just hit the familiar point where I go from thinking "this new woods album is pretty good eh?" to looking deep into every jump in time or perspective like I'm hoping to find jesus.

Breaking Bad (AMC, 2008 - 2013)

A snapshot of a Columbo episode where our man is asking another inconvenient question about someone called "Heisenberg". He has a picture of the suspect, but could a high school teacher really be such a poor role model to a former pupil and surrogate son?

Can't believe she actually said this shit

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Out on tour with The Smashing Pumpkins Nature kids, I, they don't have no function I don't understand what they mean
And I could really give a fuck
The Stone Temple Pilots, they're elegant bachelors They're foxy to me, are they foxy to you?
I will agree they deserve absolutely nothing
Nothing more than me

First time was the night before we travelled down south for Mark's funeral, so it felt significant to read the new Mindless Ones piece on rhymes, stained glass portals, and Mark's refusal of time after coming out of tonight's gig.

"I hide everything in the rhymes/That's why I need it dark onstage" - third time I've seen billy woods now, probably the best.

The transition from an all Eminem playlist to DJ Haram's set was jarring, but when she got going it sounded HUGE!

Good fit for the former church space in St Lukes.

A short comic about Dad.

A grid with 8 panels and a spider drawn in pencil over a photo of the door to my Dad's woodshop. The text reads:"My father liked the number 8. Last digit of his birth year. In numerology, a mountain, a realist, an achiever. SAcred and balanced and infinite. Foundation of the Universe. He was a pillar of mine, at least."

A grid of 8 panels over a photo of a tiny spider on an apple, with a spiderweb dawn in pencil. The text reads: "The night he died I began seeing spiders everywhere. I am weaving a future without you, I am spinning the tale of your life. Over and over. Circling outward from the crushing intersection of your loss. Repairing. Creating."

Happy 75th, Peanuts. It's amazing to look at that first strip and realize the heart of the work is already there.

1st panel: A boy and a girl are sitting on a curb. The boy sees a figure approaching and says "Well! Here comes ol' Charlie Brown!"
2nd panel: "Charlie Brown walks by and the boy says, " Good ol' Charlie Brown... yes, sir!"
3rd panel: Charlie has left the frame, and the curb sitters eyes follow his direction. The boy says, " Good ol' Charlie Brown..."
4th panel: The boy, now with a line over his eyes like a furrowed brow, says, "How I hate him!"

Sister's husband has been inducted as a Facebook racist and it's brutally obvious that no matter how much this guy plays at being Robocop, that crowd will keep foaming on about him being a traitor.

Morally and practically, there's only one choice: fight the bullshit. And yet here are!

Also known as the Refused, apparently. Either way, love a man in a ruffled shirt.

"When you're young you're like, "Fuck the system!" Then you get older and you think, "Yeah, fuck the system!""

Closer shot of the band Refused on stage in Glasgow.

Refused with the lights up. Palestine flag on the bass amp. Their stage backdrop reads "THIS IS WHAT OUR RULING CLASS HAS DECIDED WILL BE NORMAL"

No *you're* stuck saying "Quicksand, American band, quick band" over and over.

(They were great, Sergio Vega can loom over me playing the tightest shit known to man any time.)

Quicksand (American band) on stage at SWG3 in Glasgow.

Text from wikipedia that says "Quicksand (American band)".

Edited text from wikipedia that now says "Quick band".

🚨BREAKING

40 years ago Margaret Thatcher abolished rent controls in Scotland.

The Scottish Parliament just passed a Bill introduced by the Scottish Greens, which will allow them once more!

This will keep rents affordable and offer safety and stability to renters. 🙌

Rent controls passed! homes are for living in, not for profiteering.
