Made in Saddleworth, Oldham and Manchester: Annie Kenney (1879-1953), born in Springhead, started working in cotton mills at age 10 and became a leading suffragette in the Women's Social and Political Union. She was jailed 13 times and repeatedly force-fed. 1/9

It's amazing that we used to take this as a 3/5 ok film. There'll be another 5 like it along this year.

But I think it's aged far better than a lot of its contemporaries. The feminist angle for a start. Hackman is astonishing. Raimi uses every trick going. Pre-stardom Crowe and Leo.

I watch this every couple of years. It's incredible fun.

"Eliminates up to 100% of [thing]" is such a weasel advertising phrase. Nothing counts as "up to 100%".

I bang on about this a lot: I think the combination of a global pandemic, underregulated internet/SM, collapse/corruption of trustworthy media, plus now unregulated genAI, is a wildly toxic environment for radicalisation & mental health. We see the results of that in our politics & lives every day

James Austin @jamesdaustin.bsky.social · 21h

Everyone knows at least one person (normally, but not exclusively, a guy) whose gone properly mental due to net rabbit holes.

We see public figures regularly go mad and destroy themselves.

And we have, at a policy level, just decided to put our fingers in our ears and go nahnahnah

Last night I heard of another friend of a friend who has been lost to a rabbit hole of online propaganda. We need to start treating this as a serious public health concern.

Obviously can’t capture the atmosphere, it was good and loud, close and hot with a very positive vibe, but here’s 3 minutes of Gordon from @warringtonruncorn.com gig on Friday to kick-start your day..

I stopped at a hotel in Middleton Stoney on my way to my gig in Portsmouth. It was a proper shitehole.

The hotel, that is.

🧵Thread. I collect photos that people took of their TV screens (in the days before video) because they wanted to capture a historical moment, or at least something that meant something to them.

Good luck to Clop Brunttock of the Alberquerque Blobfish in the big game today.

I love finding completely nonsensical American sports names trending on here at weekends.

Anyway, congrats to Chud Spleknik of the Portland Caterpillars for doing well at one of the incomprehensible American sports.

I’d attempted (and failed) to get synchronised projections for my tour, to really capitalise on this track. Alas it took too much processing power and far too much work (with the way I was doing it) for the tour.

The industrial track I’ve been opening my live sets with this autumn is called This Machine in an entirely deliberate homage to Woody Guthrie.
