Now, listen. Dad Rock doesn't change with them times, it doesn't refer to all dads. It's a specific sound and vibe you only get from certain 70s and 80s bands. Like Britpop, there's no specific criteria, you just know it when you hear it.
Two takeaways re: Gisele Pélicot case
1 - Her age, what she was wearing, how much she'd had to drink didn't matter, these have NEVER mattered, they're just used to blame victims.
2 - There are 50+ men in your neighbourhood that would rape your unconscious body. Yes, all of you.
Life. It's just a cycle of maintenance. Cleaning cooking washing working all day every day just to ensure we don't slip behind. We exist just to expend all our energy maintaining that existence. It's circular and pointless and therefore meaningless
Also I'm sorry but I'm officially over this 'they're just unhappy citizens who've been ignored for too long'. No, they're the kind of men who do a tonne of gak at the football and then come home and hit their partners. They don't care about politics, they're just plain thugs.
i feel so detached from people after i remove myself from them... it feels like whatever relationship we ever had didn’t even happen and whenever I think about it, it feels fake. like it was a dream or something. what is that??

The UK has the most people in work, ever, and the highest taxes ever.
Yet there is no money for the NHS, schools, potholes, pensions, Junior Doctors, or anything you need.
Who is taking all our money?
The UK has the highest retirement age in the world, the lowest pension in Europe, the longest working hours in Europe, one of the lowest minimum wages, the highest energy costs, the biggest profits, and the lowest taxes for the richest.
It all needs to change.
If you tell me that something "is not urgent" I am going to put you down the very bottom of my huge to-do list and schedule at work. So if you come back to me whining about how long it's taking to do this non-urgent thing, you can fuck off and have its priority lowered even more.
The perfect epitome of a millennial is straining your back dancing to Usher while cooking dinner because you might have had too much wine after a long day of work. How's your 2024 going?
Israel media did not show the mass murder of Palestinian children and innocent civilians, or the mass destruction of Gaza. But Israeli media has no qualms about showing these savage images of Israeli occupation forces detaining and stripping civilians taken from a UN shelter in Gaza today. This evokes some of humanity’s darkest passages of history. It is well past time that the world speaks as one and demands - and enforces - an immediate and permanent #ceasefire.
Dec. 6 is the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Today we recognize the overwhelming sacrifice our brave warriors have made in holding the line of Russia's genocidal aggression, so that Ukraine can be free.
