Just told my 10yo daughter about Elon Musk. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Muskanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate. And then she asked if it's true that there's white genocide in Muskanda.

Happy release day to @elisabethelektra.bsky.social . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started watching the BBC Lockerbie thing last night. It’s very well made, great script and direction. Kept thinking the soundtrack sounded like a stripped back Mogwai. Felt brave for the BBC to have that. Checked there. It’s Mogwai! Well done, great work.

Bannon is urging Trump to deport Musk www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

🛸 I vividly remember my friend asking if we were in the queue for the spaceship at the end of a club night… anyway here we are! More @plasmatron.bsky.social books have arrived in the shop, getting your orders ready to print next Tuesday. Still time to get on the print spaceship 👽

Always been a big fan of the House Of Lords me

Worried about a return to the dark ages? This one-pot gruel will make you feel like you're living in 9th century England.

“If the people of Scotland return an SNP government, regardless if it’s a minority or majority, then that would be a mandate for a second referendum. It’s not up to the likes of me who live in England. This is the decision for the people of Scotland to make.” Starmer, STV, 2025. What a hypocrite.

Great write up of @elisabethelektra.bsky.social ‘s new album which comes out on Friday!

🇲🇽

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

Getting everything ready for the first print run! Don’t miss out 😅 1 of 100 x @plasmatron.bsky.social

From The Twilight Sad: Our first gig of the year is a special one supporting @mogwai.scot at Crystal Palace Bowl on 7th August, alongside @lankumdublin.bsky.social @carolineband and @theyummyfur. Tickets are on sale now. southfacingfestival.com/event/mogwai...

This is a decision for the people of Scotland, not Keir Starmer. Labour has lost the argument - the latest poll shows 54% in favour of independence. But instead of making their case to the public, they've decided to block the democratic process.

We are happy to announce that The Twilight Sad, caroline and The Yummy Fur will be joining us alongside Lankum at South Facing Festival 2025. Tickets are on sale now at mogwai.scot 🎟️ 📸: @jezpennington.bsky.social

Horrific

Just watched STV to see the candidates for the Hamilton by-election. I’m guessing Labour expected their guy to win easily and not have much scrutiny. The interview was….something 😬

The @elisabethelektra.bsky.social @bandcamp.com listening party starts in 15 minutes. Check it out 🔥 elisabethelektra.bandcamp.com/merch/hypers...

The final episode of the BBC drama The Bombing of Pan Am 103 airs tonight at 9pm BST on BBC One with all episodes available on BBCiPlayer. The soundtrack by Mogwai is now available on digital platforms 🔗 lnk.to/TBOPA103

New polling analysis indicates that Labour is losing more voters to the Greens and Lib Dems than to Reform

Endorsing racism doesn’t disempower racists. It emboldens them.

As a Lanarkshire native I seriously hope that the chat about Reform doing well in this weeks Hamilton bi election isn’t the case. I know things are grim but racism is never the answer.

Re Elon Musk, I’ve seen a few comments about the bladder problems caused by chronic ketamine use that don’t quite seem to grasp how serious and brutal It is. You should listen to this. It’s shocking. www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...
