@roryisconfused Is it a similar reason to why abstract art is more culturally acceptable than modernist music (Schoenberg etc.)?

He looks like Wallace AND Gromit

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham is now odds on to become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Truly rebellious to get a bunch of rich Americans laughing at poor people in the third world. This is why the comedians are the philosophers of our time

[Dead Wrong History @deadwronghist]

Sam Kinison was an ordained Pentecostal preacher before he became a comedian. He debuted this at Rodney Dangerfield's HBO special in 1985. He died in a car crash 7 years later aged 38. George Carlin called him "the last of the truly dangerous comedians."

@camtology I don't get this- that period was when rock had one of its most innovative and experimental phases (post-punk)

The main problem with this is that it's not funny. In fact, it's barely a joke.

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

Zack Polanski is upset that the Chief of the Met Police used an open letter to criticise him, saying "it wasn't the appropriate forum". Much better just to mindlessly retweet someone else's half-baked thoughts on social media

Tbf in my head, the 90s is still the last decade

Radios stations are still saying “music from the 80s, 90s, and today”

@AGDugin This is the kind of thing I would post at age 17 on Bebo at 3 in the morning after watching two hours of Bill Hicks on youtube...

You are not the people. You are stupid slaves on the Epstein's menu of cruel cannibal elites. You are eaten, your brains are. It is why you watch Euphoria. Because all of you are perverts. Disgusting civilization. No reason to exist. Please, die.

It's utterly ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.

[Stephen Durkan @stephendurkan]

Never apologise. You're not dealing with good faith actors. You're feeding a beast that will never be satisfied until it destroys you.

I am glad that I've never had a job where someone would ask this, but I've had the opposite problem where workmates are incredibly suspicious if they catch you reading a book - not sure which is worse!

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

I hate when people at work ask you what books you are reading for professional development. I am reading books to counteract the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human.

@dbessner It's a compensatory thing - most of us are poor and we're trying to make ourselves feel better about that fact.

[Stephen Durkan @stephendurkan]

@mcmansionhell The first step to liberation is realising and accepting how little autonomy we actually have in this system, but that's a really jarring thing to admit in neoliberalist culture

[Stephen Durkan @stephendurkan]

@mcmansionhell It's an attempt to preserve a fantasy of control too - that it's actually in our individual power to resolve it.

[Stephen Durkan @stephendurkan]

Just pause and think - how is this going to sound coming out the mouth of a multi-millionaire? And then STFU

[Stephen Durkan @stephendurkan]

Rich people need to just shut the fuck up for a WHILE

Emily Blunt shares advice for girls who are unhappy with their jobs:

“Just find something that you deeply want to do. Even if you’re earning no money, as long as you love it, you’ll be happy.”
