Keep discovering these fan/phone clips of our Ladyfest 2018 show - this one captures a night at Shanghai Yuyintang when a show pops. It's like 8 seconds so loop for effect. The track is at our Bandcamp 'Potato Face' #riotgrrrl #shanghai

Music that is not mine rec: outside of punk/band scenes there are always tons of independent artists, indie synth/retro wave trumps commercial pop every time - like this track by

Tons of real ppl on Twitter rn are like: guys, don't hate the far-right dark money guy trashing our world just because he loves Hitler stuff, be reasonable.
Oh my god, Charles Murray, author of the Bell Curve, has chimed in to say he knows Crow personally and he's like a good guy and totally not a Nazi. Look, I know you all think this guy loves Nazi's but the eugenics guy says it's all good

Harlan Crow defenders are wild: look, in order to better know history and fight evil I had to get all Hitler's real stuff, display it where I live, while using my money to subvert democracy and swing my country to the far-Right, perfectly normal

The fiasco continues, the whole thing on Twitter is you get direct access to journos and expertise via their Twitter accounts, and then, you know, link through to their writing.

If we understand it's bad to think center-right parties will really fix things, we should also know that shifting Disney et al 2 centimeters to the left is also futile

Usually vocal online-anti-capitalists lining up to hype Mattel, I understand we live within the system, but can we at least pretend to care outside of drama-of-the-week (followed by indignant thread why it's ok to the thing actually)

If Elon wants to headline Twitter with a meme, the most appropriate one at this point is How do you do, fellow kids.
Life Tip: when ppl say they are disrupting traditional models/changing the world yet demand workers stay in the office and have breaks monitored, those people are liars
plz make him stop - phasing out petrol cars subverted into luxury products, public transport for digging holes, NASA funding for memes and tourism, now my socials, adult baby Bond villain fucking everything up

Right, the answer that popped into my head was 'authoritarian grandstanding' but this thread expertly breaks it all down with context.

Ok cos I'm bored I'm actually going to answer this moron sincerely, and hopefully make a general point about the vacuousness of this whole class of "retvrn" posts twitter.com/Culture_Crit/s…

What's happening with the legacy checkmarks? Is this like when Elon did the polls then dropped them the first time one didn't go his way? Is he dropping his own legacy checkmark?
History of Kings and Queens: endless incest and cousin-close bloodline shenanigans, right up to current royal families.
Average TV viewer: why does this Kings and Queens show feature incest, it's crazy.

Remember when ppl's homes were foreclosed and banks were like, you owe what you owe? Let them fail, and if that's a danger, nationalize them permanently. Long term - smash capitalism and meet everyone's needs humanely.

The Iraq war was an illegal act of aggression launched on false pretences.
Many of us warned it would cause death & destruction on a colossal scale. We were ignored.
Today, in honour of those who were killed, let’s recommit to building a world of peace, co-operation & justice.

The funniest part of big footy clubs getting caught like this is when the board make the inevitable statement that is some version of this: we hope you all realize that our decade of systematic corruption and cheating does not reflect on the values of this club.

For Starmer/Labour to read the Forde Report and take it seriously they'd have to first actually care about antisemitism/racism, and not just use it as a brush to tar their rivals when convenient.

I am deeply alarmed to learn that the Labour leadership has failed to engage with Martin Forde following the publication of his important report.

lol Barca were directly paying a senior ref, on the refs committee, for the entire Messi years. Their defense: it was to balance out bias towards other clubs. It's almost as funny as Barca crying over PSG/FFP
Glaze is out now!
Glaze is a program that will mask your artwork in AI/ML. No company should be able to steal your artwork now.
This is an important step in the right direction for protection of a vulnerable creative field.

The solution is for our countries to make new privacy laws that prevent all APPs domestic or otherwise, from collecting data without a series of explicit permissions.
