www.theguardian.com/music/2026/o... I love Fontaine's DC. They have so much to say and have the support of culturally significant artists, such as Kneecap.

theguardian.com‘The mainstream has come to them’: how did Fontaines DC go from Dublin dive bars to headlining stadiums?Once scrappy post-punk poets, they’re now one of the biggest bands in the world. As they release new album Dopamine Chamber, fans including Kneecap and Shame explain their sensational rise

www.theguardian.com/business/202... What the heck? So vast disparities in wealth actually matter? /s There is no reason why anybody should amass more wealth that they could spend in their lifetime and anyone who pursues that goal is likely to be suffering from some form of personality disorder.

If @mrjamesob.bsky.social wants to know whow to remember mode, he should remember that to be in mode is to be in fashion so it is the most frequent, or fashionable, number. Median is half way between all the figures, and means is the measure he should have used for his Burnham Optimism Bounce.

billeddy911.substack.com/p/take-out-s... The only thing I disagree with Bill is how he frames the issue as a question; is it time to involve the 25th Amendment? It is beyond time. Trump's a danger to the world, not just his own country. What the fuck is America waiting for?

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o... Seldom?! I'm surprised they go at all. These people use Christianity as a mask to confuse others and hide what revolting human beings they really are. It's a strange form of Christianity that is antithetical to Christ's teaching. And I'm a Humanist/atheist.

If @mrjamesob.bsky.social wants to understand Trump & Hegseth and their decision to livestream an execution then he needs to read Eric Fromm, the psychiatrist who coined the term malignant narcissism and who posited that the personality underpins the behaviour of dictators, fascists. 1/2

@thevoiceoftreason.bsky.social

James was spot on when he recognised their projection. It is one of the definitive narcissistic traits. Sometimes there is a simple explanation for apparently unfathomable human behaviour. It is also a handy distraction while Trump pursues his agenda to undermine democracy. Dark days indeed. 2/2

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... And you can add to that Donald Trump, Grenfell and the elevation of sociopathic narcissists in the public sphere via social media and those who profit from it, at the expense of the mental health of the nation/world.

open.substack.com/pub/rawstory... Now then, this is very interesting, particularly when you consider Trump's ability to project his own poor behaviour onto others. Against this background does this explain why an obviously fake story of an underground network of Democratic paedophiles? 1/2

@thevoiceoftreason.bsky.social

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but this adds to my suspicion that conspiracy theories, particularly in the social media age, exist to distract us from what is really going on. Too many question marks exist around the circumstances of Epstein's suicide, not limited to the missing 5 minutes of CCTV. 2/2

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... Another manipulation? Are these people really thinking that, or are they being encouraged to say so by journalists for right wing media to deflect from the fact that it was Tory politicians that created this situation and helping them to abdicate responsibility?

Andy Burnham, in his conference speech, said "Someone recently said to me there's a reason why you can't put properties on utilities like water and gas on a Monopoly board". Could he possibly have been listening to @mrjamesob.bskyb.social? Surely he doesn't have time, but that's some coincidence.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... Another vile, attention seeking, narcissistic wanker, whose dad didn't love him; at all or anywhere near enough. He deliberately forced his own arrest for more attention and to paint himself the victim. It's all very Stephen Yaxley Lennon. And, he's no Christian.

Did anyone know that narcissists often prefer their own nomme de plume to their real names? And it's because, underneath it all, they really fucking hate themselves. They just want people to see their idealised version of themselves. It's easier than changing themselves for the better. The wankers.

For years, Stephen Lennon has asked supporters to trust him and fund him. A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation, made with HOPE not hate, has raised serious questions about his finances. I’ve added my name calling for a full investigation. Will you? secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/199860/...

Quite so. These people are a much better example to humanity than the fake "patriots" and "fake" Christians. It's why one lot wants to destroy the others while those others would put their own lives at risk to save them if the call came in.

www.theguardian.com/science/2026... Often, the infinity of space gives us pause for thought. There are supermassive black holes over 1 billion times the mass of our sun, which represents just under 99.9% of the mass of our entire solar system. Mind blown! And we think we are significant.

In these dark days I feel that I ought to share a special photo of my very special rescue dog, Sasha. She didn't have a great life until I found her 7 years ago, but is about to turn 11, and gets more beautiful by the day. Fills my heart with joy to see her this way, and particularly when she runs.
