Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.

If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

This is the most baffling article I've ever read from this Israeli reporter - whose reverence of the Israeli state leads to them arguing against the principles of 'Masters of War', and then forming conspiracies about hidden anti-Zionist messaging in Dylan's work.

An Israeli college includes the recital of a Dylan song at its Memorial Day ceremony, but some students weren’t having it. We dig a little deeper and find that ‘the voice of a generation’ is more anti...

I somewhat understand Starmer's backtracking of his elected Upper Chamber plan - it's a lot of effort with minimal electoral reward.
However... I cannot understand the government's unwillingness to reform the appointment process. Especially after all the controversies that Johnson was embroiled in.

These massacres are intended partly to enforce Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing, and partly just for the sake of killing.

Israel's apologists no longer even pretending this is anything other than nihilistic mass slaughter.

Got this gem from a British Heart Foundation a couple of days ago for super cheap ! I'm so impressed with this find because most charity places nowadays will use the internet to weed out if any of their stash has any value !! One of my fav records from one of my fav bands

The imbalance in funding from department to department in UK universities is woeful. The business department swimming in all their international student funding; splurging money on pool tables and mini bars in their study buildings. Meanwhile, the social sciences can't afford working lights or staff

Played Mario Sunshine for the first time (it was just before my time). I haven't had so much fun with a videogame in years. The movement is just so dynamic for a game from 2002, and the visuals... the visuals. Less refined than Galaxy and 64, but I'll remember this game for a while. #Nintendo #Mario
