Anyone who wants to make a hot take on either WWII, Japan, and/or the use of nuclear weapons in war needs to read these four volumes of SHOWA: A HISTORY OF JAPAN. No one who has not read them is allowed to have an opinion. @dandq.bsky.social

What an incredible photo. On Sunday, astro-photographer Andrew McCarthy captured the moment the International Space Station passed across our sun.

This is an absolutely glorious review of The Manic Street Preachers existence. No punches pulled, but nor a hater, it is thoughtful, respectful, yet critical. Recommended for GenX class warriors. ⁨https://newleftreview.es/sidecar/posts/mislaid-plans ⁩

TIL about mealtrain.com - I don't know which is more surprising, that it exists or that I've only just heard about it. Very handy.

If you don't know Robyn St. Clare by name, you probably do know her by song. She wrote Into Your Arms, covered successfully by the Lemonheads, and Don't Slow Down, morphed into Don't Go Now by Ratcat. She really knows how to write a pop song. lovepositions.bandcamp.com/album/billie...

Death is a fact of life, but in the death of recent musicians like Sly Stone and Brian Wilson there is also a matter of mourning the fact that the conditions that gave rise to them no longer exist. The age of streaming does not seem to support musicians at all, let alone innovative ones.

History teaches us something critical that all the propaganda desperately doesn't want us to understand. Small acts of decency, courage and kindness have unknowable but sometimes massive ripple effects. So much of fighting fascism is literally just not being a cunt.
