Fell down a rabbit hole that led to me remembering this wonderful song by John Foxx. Apologies to anyone who was at school with me when it came out. I played it to death, then carried on playing it until it was nothing but bones and dust. johnfoxx.bandcamp.com/track/underp...

Every so often I see a post here and want to repost it with 'this! you don't have to interact with everything you see on here!' and my internal irony meter stops me. It's a bit like shouting 'don't patronise me' at your father.

It’s incredible but not surprising how much western media is blacking out one of the most recognizable and important activists in the world in Greta Thunberg going to Gaza on a single unarmed boat with food for starving children. It should be an hourly story with huge ratings and clicks.
