Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.

In memory of David Lynch, we will continue to explore the otherworldly and the unknown. We will focus not on the loss, but on what we gained from the years we shared this planet with you. We will see you in our dreams.

Got a police update on a rogue landlord I tackled last year:

Changed locks on his tenants. No reason. No notice. (Trying to force them out as he had higher paying tenants lined up).

Panicking tenants called me. I called Police. They demanded he show up to unlock.

So did they.

Two mix tapes that Steve Albini sent me in 1984 after I wrote about Big Black in my fanzine Hit the Trail. (I was 16 or 17.) Incredible: first time that I heard Ivor Cutler, Wipers, Scratch Acid, Friction, Slovenly, Cravats, etc., etc. What a sweetheart.

RIP legend phill niblock. grateful to have corresponded w him a bit while previewing his 2022 solstice gig, he responded w such enthusiasm and said he considered his then-recent release “working touch” to be the best and most important work of his life (video abasement july 2023)

[Robin Rimbaud - Scanner @robinrimbaud]

Farewell to the truly inspirational composer Phill Niblock (1933-2024) who has generously left us a vast body of work to explore. His microtonal sound works have inspired generations of musicians and will continue to do so.

Graham Linehan's book selling 390 copies in its first week despite all those celebrity endorsements, a very loud social media presence and allegedly a silent majority on his side.

One of the worst after effects of the pandemic - so many utter dipshits left alone with nothing but the internet for company and that smug need for ‘secret knowledge’. It’s a cesspit of dickheadedness out there.

BREAKING: Idaho’s largest newspaper humiliates Trump’s “Patriot Front” white supremacists in a devastating op-ed after they file a lawsuit complaining that they’ve lost their jobs and been shunned by their families after their identities exposed to the public.

In the brutal op-ed, the editors of the Idaho Statesman didn’t mince words and showed zero sympathy for the pro-Trump’s neo-nazis, declaring that, “What they’re really upset about is suffering the consequences of their abhorrent views — views that they feel so strongly about, they don’t want anyone to know about. The plaintiffs say they were fired from their jobs, have been threatened at their homes and have had their tires slashed, among other things.

The editorial continues, “Actions have consequences. It’s a warped view of freedom of expression when Patriot Front members attempt to completely conceal their ownership of said expression. Hiding behind anonymity has become an all-too-common feature of white nationalist and extremist trolls who lurk in the shadows of social media, hiding behind bogus accounts and fake avatars, spewing hate, sowing division, and threatening and intimidating others.

The brutal takedown continues, “It’s that anonymity that allows their putrescent views to grow and spread like a flesh-eating bacteria — except in this case, it’s more like a brain-eating disease. The fact the Patriot Front members’ main complaint is that they’ve suffered for being associated with these views is telling. The fact that employers — even their own relatives, in the case of Brown — want nothing to do with them tells you all you need to know.

The editorial ends with a bang, “If Patriot Front members believe that they are right and just, why not attach their names to their beliefs and putrid goals? Otherwise, they’re just behaving in a cowardly fashion, hiding behind ridiculous masks, fake social media accounts and in the darkness of the back of a U-Haul van."

Well said!👏👏👏

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank the Idaho Statesman for setting Trump’s “Patriot Front” straight — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/0c9FDbByU8

Norway has a £1 trillion + wealth fund for ordinary people, built over many years by taxing fossil fuel giants at 78%.

Last year alone Norway collected $89bn in tax from fossil fuel giants.

They then used that fund to pay people’s energy bills.

There is another way.
