I am fully baffled by the idea my penis may be a different age to the rest of me.

Where are they now? From left to right: war zone, golf course, skiing holiday. No more need be said.

Finally found someone to replace Micahel Gove as the No1 Most Punchable Face.

I can't help thinking that this is what it's all about fundamentally. By the mid-00s, defence spending had dropped to an historic low. Last couple of years it's bounced back to almost historic highs. The military industrial complex underpins all capitalism www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Review | @maudthemoth.bsky.social - The Distaff by @ckwisnotaname.bsky.social "A career-defining dark neoclassical record, reckoning with womanhood, that breaches beyond its confines." echoesanddust.com/2025/03/maud...

Interview | Steve Swindells Steve Swindells has had a long and varied art career and Tim Forster contacted him to find out more. echoesanddust.com/2025/03/stev...

Love how every single liberal party strategy is “moving right wins elections” then when moving right repeatedly fails to win elections cause they’re running against OPENLY RIGHT-WING PARTIES they just go “Well clearly we didn’t move right enough.” Like even a child could tell you what’s wrong

Happy 303 Day. #303day #rolandtb303 #rolandtb03

The entirety of experimental music internet when they hear Cafe Oto mentioned at the Oscars

It is so 2025 that a film with a trans storyline that the trans community fucking despises wins some of the most prestigious film awards in the world and the cisgender winners don’t even mention what’s happening to the trans community in the very country they’re accepting the awards in

The Boys are Back in Town is joyful and exuberant as a concept, but 'the Men have Returned to the Village' is deeply unsettling, threatening even.

timeline today absolutely packed with people who think Starmer is Satan and people who think Starmer is Jesus all screaming at anyone who doesn't share their views, and once again I am baffled by the strength of feeling people are capable of about this anthropomorphisation of the colour beige

Just so we're clear was it not a crisis when it was the other way around?

Congratulations to BRIT winners Charli XCX (Bishop's Stortford College, £38,319 per year), AG Cook (King Alfred School, £27,747) and The Last Dinner Party (Bedales, £52,075) for showing that people from ordinary backgrounds can reach the top in pop music, that most egalitarian of art forms.

We’re playing with an expansion pack for one of @echoesanddan.bsky.social’s VST synths and a bunch of the presets are by someone called Venus Theory and the descriptions are very @frogcroakley.bsky.social coded.

Honey is out now, I’m so proud of this one! Go stream it / buy it (it’ll be on Bandcamp when I get to a computer). Otherworldly set + image + art direction by Greta Kalva Styling by Heida Senkute, makeup by Nikole Migl ffm.to/elisabethele...

Hahaha

I don't think you can understand Gen X without watching "War Games" or similar. We talk about the world ending, but there were ~70,000 nukes in 1985. As Sagan put it, it was "like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five."

Starmer not commenting after the Trump/Vance attack on Zelenskyy is going to become a bigger and bigger issue - for the UK and for his leadership of the Labour party. It is absolutely unthinkable he would not offer Ukraine and its president full and unequivocal support.

From a purely realpolitik perspective, if you're a middling country trying to navigate allegiances in a now multipolar world watching that meeting, why would you not take up with the Chinese?

Pathetic lickspittle.

#AcidHorse is back for its fourth outing (23-25 May on the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend) with DJ sets from Regis, Dyslecta and Slav To The Rhythm plus live music from #Matmos, The Utopia Strong, Scotch Rolex, Rattle, Milkweed and Haress buff.ly/3QZ0Hd3

Really feels like we’re watching the fall of western civilisation in real time.

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

Zelensky's finest achievement to date may be in not lamping these cunts

Review | Kosmodome - Ad Undas by @zmnathanson.bsky.social "Kosmodome have a long way to go by proving themselves they can take it up a notch and see which direction and which path to walk towards. Let’s see where the next chapter will lead them to." echoesanddust.com/2025/02/kosm...

I have toppled the tower that was made of junk and which you were probably saving for pigs Forgive me there were too many mattresses and armchairs and bags of rubbish

Review | Rattle - Encircle by @ouchmonkey.bsky.social "Essentially Rattle is all rhythm and chant and yet it is totally unlike that shaking hoodoo mania thing, completely different to all the spooky drones and incense types." echoesanddust.com/2025/02/ratt...

Review | Bedsore - Dreaming the Strife of Love by @zmnathanson.bsky.social "There are more ideas to come & hopefully, the real game has just begun for Bedsore to see what kind of brainstorming momentum they’ll have in the years to come during the roaring ‘20s." echoesanddust.com/2025/02/beds...

good morning. just published a really great essay on low's "great destroyer" by cameron norbert. i know there's lot of low fans out there. enjoy ihavethatonvinyl.com/essays/lows-...

NEW: Just 6% of Gen Z say they actually want a dictator – not over half, as has been recently claimed. Our study finds only a very small minority of 13-27-yr-olds really feel this way, when their views and interpretations are tested with different questioning approaches 🧵⬇️

American bluesky: the Nazis are in charge British bluesky: shh I’m stacking pigs

I have a number of questions.

Either Kemi is doing an Accidental Jim Hacker here, or her AI speechwriter thinks Yes Prime Minister was a documentary about one of the UK’s greatest leaders.
