you will live to see your niche autistic special interests become geopolitically significant and thus be overrun with pro-grifters and counter-zealots each with equally empty understanding

Sorcha Pollak strikes again. BIA has unilateral cross party support, it is not a green initiative and RO’G is a grotesque opportunist here trying to blame some of the poorest in his society for the ills of the greens.
Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman admits he’s very nervous about the future of “distinctly Green” policies such as the Basic Income for the Arts and the party’s “massive” financial commitments to public transport. #GE2024

You get the feeling sometimes there are critics moving among us that only take the time to understand the art forms they review equivalent to the time it takes to collect their free tickets. Artists are stuck watching an exhausting game of ‘pin the tail on the concept’.

Would anyone have a functioning typewriter in Cork that I might use for a half hour to type up something?

I followed Nigel Farage on and off for 10 years. When all's said and done about his standing in Clacton, milkshake incident etc, he remains at the end of the day one of the most repugnant shameless liars in UK history. Some of his standout lesser-known lies I've compiled FTR 🧵

Oh god.
Reasonable people may differ with me, but I'd argue the greatest writers of fiction & poetry have been apolitical--provided we define "political" as meaning "partisan." I don't think Joyce, Beckett, Faulkner, O'Connor, McCarthy, Stevens, Melville, et al had any use for politics.

American Hollywood composer angry at… the ‘contemporary’. Ligeti disassembled, like a poetic surgeon, everything you are desperately try to piece together in your one bedroom flat writing ad music.
The woman here has just been named the new conductor for the Iceland Symphony. Here she is performing "music" by Ligeti... ...this nonsense goes on for 11mins 🥴

Apple's new "Crush" ad (let's call it "2024") is a visual & metaphorical bookend to the 1984 ad. 1984: Monochome, conformist, industrial world exploded by colourful, vibrant human 2024: Colourful, vibrant humanity is crushed by monochrome, conformist industrial press

This was funny, but Powell always seemed like a cunt, so even here Albini did not miss.

Glioblastoma accounts for 48% of all primary malignant brain tumours. The 5-year survival rate for patients is only 6.8%. In the first human clinical trial, an mRNA cancer vaccine quickly activated the immune system to attack glioblastoma. Remarkable. https://t.co/lyuK27pmK5
