I like heavy metal & wrestling & Doctor Who. I like other music too and sometimes I sing or write words or referee a Wrestling. TW: I have hosted podcasts before & I may well do so again. I wrote one line for the BBC once.

#ClimateMisinformation is turning the #ClimateCrisis into a catastrophe. False claims are obstructing climate action, say researchers, amid calls for #climatelies to be criminalised. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Brief interruption to schedule as Tardigrade Inferno just dropped a new live album

Now for some Wildhearts :

"Love...in all its forms, is the most powerful weapon we have... because love is a form of hope and, like hope, love abides...in the face of everything." #DoctorWho #ThirteenthDoctor #JodieWhittaker #HappyBirthday

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Some people like Quavers. Some people like Twiglets. My tastes include both.

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

My therapist: The Munch animals aren't real, they can't hurt you Gachapon machines:

Coyote pups at Graceland Cemetery!

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

Pritzker's willingness to speak over these fascist pigs is honestly a great endorsement of his suitability to lead in this moment

The BBC is explicitly, consciously pivoting right to pander to a party with just 5 MPs. Where's the outrage? Where's the coverage?! They are converting our national broadcaster into a mouthpiece for the far right and no one is doing anything about it! bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

At a rally, Trump claimed he would "protect women, whether they like it or not." In a dystopian twist, the actions he has taken to purge women from public view are framed as "defending women." As Jean Kilbourne explains, the deeper danger here isn't only censorship—it's also invisibility.

I did fancy having an AC/DC / Wildhearts WFH day but work needed me at the office for a bit and I'm going to have to trim it down :( Minor disruption but one plan i have full say in torpedoed. Minor grump in effect. Maybe I'll put it back to next week

The only people this benefits are Putin and Xi

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Motherfuckers, if AI has added significant value, then only charge those who use it. You're not here to help. You're here to help yourselves to my hard earned dosh.

The entire USMC stateside probably has as many riflemen as the LAPD has sworn officers. "Sending in the Marines" works far better as a threat than as a reality. If they do it once, they'll quickly have to do it everywhere, and the whole combat power of the service disappears like piss in the ocean.

"The updated subscription pricing reflects the significant added AI value" HELLO GOOGLE, I HAVE ASSESSED THE VALUE OF AFOREMENTIONED AI FEATURES AND I FIND THEM TO BE ZERO

Deserts are spreading across Britain, yet scarcely anyone in public life even seems to have noticed. This week's column seeks to open our eyes to something that has been too big to see. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thinking of Greta Thunberg (and co) and those being attacked by ICE in LA. Lot of horrible stuff going on right now but also A LOT of people standing up for what's right.

Was excited about new gimmicky venue in town and even pointed my birthday at it but they seem to have ejected a good friend on malicious/trumped up grounds so NOT ONLY will I unfollow their socials ( that'll learn 'em ! ) but .... (1/2)
