Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

There’s not that many 80s bands I could still be arsed to see again now but The Butthole Surfers always seemed weirdly ageless, as if they’d crawled out of some thermal duct like a Cthulhu cult, or maybe Cthulhu himself.
