Albums from the last week, been enjoying me some Serwed and some Ulla, and of course Anthony Naples never misses
feeling very googling "intentional communities scotland" this week
Albums from the past week. Think I might have overlooked that Huerco S. album (although the weird mumbly vocal track I'm sorry to say is rubbish). That Ulla album is real nice will be tucking into more of their discography for sure.
Bar graph of the Gorton and Denton only showing the top two parties lol
Gorton and Denton result, according to Labour
Green landslide no surrender, UBI and a 4 day bender!!
people in the arts of Glasgow and beyond please come to this!!

Looking at all of them really does elicit a fairly strong "thank fuck for music" emotional response
Also really happy to see recent music in there like Bullion and ML Buch albums - I adore those albums as much as the older stuff. Goes to show your favourite album of all time might not be out yet!
10 by 10 grid of my most listened to albums of all time (last fm user JohnBrune)
I've been using last fm since September 2011, almost half my life. I just hit 100,000 scrobbles.
These are my most listened to albums of all time! Obviously doesn't take into account records, CDs, countless hours of radio, pre-last fm emo phase - but reckon it's a pretty good representation of me.

Bernie Sanders meme, with text as follows: I am once again updating my mega post about how awful the Cass Review is.
Happy Friday 13th! To celebrate the success of the UK establishment's continued "clarity" on trans exclusion, I am delighted to share a major update to my blog post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?"
The biggest change is an entirely new section on harms caused.

It really does feel good to see there is still some semblance of justice left. I know people which might not go to prison as a result of this. But can't help feel that those who brought about this should be held accountable for the harm they've caused

Been a Jefre Cantu-Ledesma kinda week
Stupid fuckhead transphobes
Amounts to nothing more than thinly veiled conversion therapy and social murder of trans people and despite the truly awful disheartening environment we should still do everything we can to oppose, including responding to the consultation regardless:
consult.education.gov.uk/independent-...
This is absolutely horrific stuff. I shouldn't be surprised anymore but just makes all the responding to consultations and pushing my employer to resist the bullshit new guidance seem incredibly pointless when the government are just going to push ahead anyway.
Welcome pal!
But in the end, I also know that all of these reasons are exactly why the establishment is so against it because to have it would mean relinquishing such power, which is why it's important, which it's why it will be so difficult, spiral spiral etc etc
Thinking of things like direct action for Palestine if people didn't have to turn up for the job they hate to pay the bills; an endless strike fund to demand better work, if not just the complete disappearance of terrible exploitative work because people can just say no to it
I think subconsciously I probably want to start writing about basic income more because I get annoyed that it isn't viewed more seriously by the left not just as an end in itself but what could be achieved as a result of having it
I know there's ~a lot of other things happening~ but I wrote a blog for Basic Income Network Scotland last month which I guess could be viewed as "Basic Income-maxxing" existing basic income-like proposals or targeted basic income schemes to bring about a full BI sooner

time for the NTS radio chatroom to return to chatango I fear
some good discourse on kimchi-tiktok today cancelling some white dude who's claiming to have invented the hot pot shot cube. Nothing like a bit of good old fashioned cultural appropriation as a pallet cleanser to distract me from the global peadophile ring
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
used to live on sauchiehall street, did a lot of partying there so this title speaks to me 🫠
Derek kens "Should we really be placing ourselves in a constant state of ‘nothing can ever happen’ out of political malice? Seems an unnecessary resignation to misery and blind pessimism."
Thing that annoys me most when speaking about BI is this very attitude
