Today’s the anniversary of The Greatest Goal Of The 90s. We’re not talking about Yeboah, Baggio, or Weah. Instead, I present to you: Gary Crosby at the City Ground, 1990. You sneaky little shithouse.

Willy Vlautin's latest novel The Horse is just wonderful, heartbreaking, especially on Audible as it's narrated by the great man. It really makes me yearn for a new Richmond Fontaine album. We need more of this. youtu.be/MBSOAkApFpQ?...

The EU is now making every EU citizen complicit in the Israeli plan to deliberately and consciously starve the Palestinian people of Gaza to death. This is unconscionable! www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/israelp...

On Friday, a whole mountain west of Glengarriff was burnt, with a wall of flames visible through the night for miles around. It's pure ecocide, layered on top of ecocide (sheep), and it just beggars belief that this is still going on in the year 2025.

Netanyahu and Putin are the same. Their loyalty is not to a nation, allies, or ideals. Their loyalty is to themselves and oligarchy. They detest international law & human dignity. They are criminals heading enterprises of death, lies, and kleptocracy. To stand with one is to stand with both.

Crazy the way that when Tr*mp bucks over Ukraine, it's the end of the world in the US, but when he shares his plan to ethically cleanse Palestine, it's all just 'ah well, that's fine' !!! 🇺🇦🇵🇸

"[The Zelenskyy-Trump] meeting and America’s shameful vote in the UN on Monday confirmed that the US is now aligned with Russia, and against Ukraine, Europe, and most of the planet." We must not ignore this central new reality. To do so will lead to disaster. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Who will be the first to write the history of that short-lived period that began in 1989 and ended in 2025? So much hope and opportunity, so much short-sighted and incompetent leadership on all sides, and such an ugly, tragic ending.

Like most people I was perplexed by Megalopolis but Coppola's response to being singled out for scorn by the atrocious Razzies is better than the movie.

The Tate Brothers have been charged with human trafficking, having sexual intercourse with a minor, money laundering and starting an organized crime group, so it’s hard to tell what role they’ll play in the Trump administration.

The BBC Board meets today to decide the fate of the documentary, “Gaza: How To Survive a War Zone” that's been taken off-air. Please share this post to make sure the BBC hears our demand: #StopCensoringPalestine Here’s the Artists for Palestine letter: artistsforpalestine.org.uk/2025/02/26/5...

Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world. It's obvious to all of us.

The Trump Gaza video in which he has ethnically cleansed Gaza to fill it with statues of him and skyscrapers should be proof enough of his intentions. The ICC needs to put out an arrest warrant for Donald Trump.

Rosetta Tharpe was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist. She was BIG in the 30s & 40s with a mixture of spiritual lyrics and electric guitar. She was among the first musicians to appeal to rhythm and blues/rock and roll audiences, later being referred to as "the Godmother of rock and roll”. LEGEND!

Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders. The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it. Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity
