Dub wasn’t just a sound, it was a revolution.

Why does ‘the Labour MP’s husband released on bail after allegedly spying for China’ look like every British female serial killer from 1950 - 1999 mixed together by AI and put in a shiny suit?
Opening panels of Drakes On A Plane, a comic strip featuring Sir Francis Drake, Charlie Drake and Nick Drake. On a plane.
The world is in a perilous state. But there's a new issue of Viz on sale today, and while that may not particularly alleviate geopolitical tensions, at least it probably won't make them very much worse
Normally some vital but obscure aspect of costume goes missing at the last minute but not today!
Managed to get my six and nine year olds ready for ‘world book day’ without a single meltdown so I’ll take that as a win.
‘all huffy’ 😂
100% - deep *deep* conformity of mind accelerated by social media.
Yes, exactly (conveniently forgetting the staggeringly bloody millennia of Islamic imperial conquest in Iran while they’re at it ;)
The spectre of keffiyeh wearing Western leftists hectoring and chanting at the victims of dictatorship is one of the more bizarre/grotesque spectacles of recent years and will be studied by the scholars of the future…
This is such a Partridge answer but the fruit is next level. proper ‘man from Del Monte’ quality control. Way better than anywhere else. Ludicrous ‘crisp’ blueberries and plump medjol dates. Biblical fruits.
Civilisation (BBC, 1969) immense, sprawling history of the Western world told through art and architecture. Kenneth Clarke. Working my way through it in its entirety.
Masterpiece.

I love the fact that the font itself is so un-Glasgow- more LA/Miami.
Such sad news. RIP
‘Jeepster’ by T-Rex isn’t just sheer seventies it’s beyond seventies. Opens a black hole of seventies. ‘Jeepster’ ffs 😂
Such a great film. Yon chilli peppers singer scene 😂
😂
Yes. Same.
‘Choose your fighter!’
Tough day for the ‘Rest is Politics’ sensibles today. Thoughts and prayers….
Paradoxically, the reason that BS *is* so good for music and literature and art chat is because that’s the space - on here - that diversity of opinion genuinely flourishes and is encouraged.
That said, it’s great for music.
It terms of sheer lack of diversity of opinion it’s actually more akin to Truth Social than any other social media platform.
Same. It’s like some weird hive mind that waits for an approved party line and parrots it ad infinitum. ‘Fingers in the ears! Not listening!’ - and because that creates the illusion of consent on any (all) given issue/s, it actually functions in a cult like way.
It’s absolutely bizarre. Bluesky is a parallel universe. A tiny, near irrelevant parallel universe.
Incredible record. Insanely crunchy. Helmet are so underrated.
