Heads up! We're finally on Bluesky and should be active soon. Note that the account below is the only official SBM account. (There are others that look like they might be SBM. They aren't.)

49 years ago today

The Damned played at the Roxy in London on January 17, 1977, with support from Eater and The Boys.

Sorry for the synchronization issues, but this glimpse into the British punk scene of that time should make up for it.

This cannot be just swept under the rug and forgotten about now that his contract as expired, especially with him seemingly very close to a renewal up to a few weeks ago.

Now that he can officially be named and talked about I do hope that there are more questions asked to the club about how they handled the situation with Thomas Partey.

In honor of Poly Styrene Day, my personal favorite X-Ray Spex number: "Identity"

"When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself? ... When you see yourself, does it make you scream?"

🖤 In memory of the one and only Marianne Joan Elliott-Said aka Poly Styrene, frontwoman of the punk rock band X-Ray Spex, born on this day in 1957, Bromley, United Kingdom 🖤

The player we can’t write about and football’s ‘systemic failure’ to deal with sexual violence www.nytimes.com/athletic/637...

My latest on Medscape covers a recently published study that both traditional media and social media reported as being proof that Splenda increases hunger (and of course as a consequence, increases weight). Sounds scary. Unless you actually read the paper 🧵

DOJ memos are not law.

They can’t imagine a world where the rule of law doesn’t protect them, where their data will be used against them even when “they have nothing to hide”. They haven’t lived in an authoritarian state that decides what happens to you based on characteristics of seeming innocuous data alone.

A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile removed by employer Indiana University, & had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why.
