Tonight Students Saved Democracy in Serbia. 🇷🇸 They won the election. The Student List movement unites youth, academics, and civic voices across Serbia. Grounded in anti-corruption reforms, democratic integrity, transparent governance, this movement brings hope to many. Vučić conceded defeat!

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, conceded defeat on Sunday in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government. https://to.pbs.org/4dYoAgA

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

If Pitchfork gives a lower score to the new MoM record with Lee “Scratch” Perry, or to the marvelous new album by the Tara Clerkin Trio, than the score it gave to BoC, then it has become a worse platform than CBS. 🤡

Rest in power Areski Belkacem, French-Algerian singer and composer who was Brigitte Fontaine's partner for more than 50 years. When I visited Brigitte in Paris, he was in hospital and she kept saying "he should be here". Thanks for the music Areski, including Vous et Nous, one of my favourite albums

The new BoC album sounds like Mogwai, Deep Forest and Loop Guru cutting-up a Robert Ashley opera, leaving only a spectral trace of BoC behind.

New Squarepusher, Seefeel and BOC music in less than a month apart. What year is this? Why cant I afford it like I used to? 50 usd used to go a long way at the record store in the 90s.

This smart dog knows about politics, he literally gives a shit.😆😆

I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.
