Easy enough. Here's a pair of songs off the 135 #Ska (or near enough) albums available on Spotify from this year, so far. Which is actually pretty low, as we've been averaging ~250 or so yearly for a while now. (Though odds are I'm probably missing a bunch too.)

This house is a Birds house! My wife's got right into American football this season and we've watched a couple of full games, and it would've been a third if I hadn't put on last season's replay vs Tampa last week instead of this season's 🙃

Newcastle says no to fascism.

The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

Newcastle united.

The Brit Card: Nobody asked for it, it wasn’t in the election manifesto, it’s unclear why anyone would want one and the malicious uses for it are obvious, and loads of people hate the idea, but you know what? *Fuck you*, that’s what. We’re in charge. Fuck. You.

Please launch this in Scotland in a blaze of patriotic red, blue and white imagery, making it very clear everyone must have one, or they will get fucked. Put photos of the King on it, maybe Captain Tom as well. Boris Johnson, if he will fit. Thank you

The "Brit Card".
. Could they make it any
more dogwhistly?
Also, fundamentally ignores that undocumented workers already, drum roll please, lack documents. Adding another one makes little difference, but does make it harder for people to escape exploitation.

When 100 thousand trans people rallied in London it was only worthy for the "local news" section.

Larry & Paul @larryandpaul.bsky.social · Sep 13

Don’t recall BBC News leading with any of the myriad marches for Palestine, #PeoplesVote or #Rejoin. How very odd. How very strange. How very expected.

A BBC News article proclaiming that “thousands (are) talking part in ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally and counter protest.

A house across the street put an England flag in their window over the last couple of days. At least now I have a specific reason to think they're dickheads.

"Now I see a little better how Nazism overcame Germany - not by attack from without or by subversion from within, but with a whoop and a holler. It was what most Germans wanted -or, under pressure of combined reality and illusion, came to want. They wanted it; they got it; and they liked it."

"Then I travelled in Nazi Germany for an American magazine. I saw the German people, people I had known when I visited Germany as a boy, and for the first time realised that Nazism was a mass movement and not the tyranny of a diabolical few over helpless millions"

My fellow whites: Do not ever forget all the praise that the media, politicians, etc. heaped upon a man who made it his life's work to make the lives of the people who are trans, gay, Black, immigrant, Muslim, and women in your life an actual hell on earth. Do not forgive these chucklefucks.

My wife used to work in a high street shop that sold the Lego mini figures and could feel the packets to see what was in them, so kids and parents would come in asking if they had specific ones they were missing to complete their sets 😅
