Very much recommend The Charismatic Voice as a YouTube channel
I was chasing sadness yesterday. Now I’m chasing rage. I am watching an opera singer react to and explain how awesome this song is. I recommend:

Filling the Vacuum, Anti Fascist Action, 1995
![The ambition of militant anti-fascism is not simply to see the Far-Right defeated and removed from working class areas: the ultimate solution is to see them replaced there. The BNP's attack on Labour is from the Right and is racist, ultra-conservative and anti-working class, Our primary role is to guarantee that a successful challenge to Labour comes only from the Left. Furthermore, and purely from an anti-fascist point of view, as the best insurance against any nazi renaissance, it would be the duty of militants to offer protection and encouragement to any genuine [anti-Labour] working class revolt.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r2udccg2d5ci7ed4oci3aap6/bafkreiexkzt3xljfyhzgvze3zwqqrbuo6idf27tmrqa7x2r2fwgn5obnym@jpeg)

UK comic cons that run Potter programming please take note.
It cannot be made clearer.
If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

This applies to Iran, the UK, the US.

When the government says they want to protect children by banning puberty blockers for trans kids, then 5 minutes later says that the app where grown men can remove children's clothing at will is important for "free speech", it does make you wonder if they actually fucking listen to themselves

Recently uploaded to YT is this documentary on John Boormans 1984 "Excalibur"
This is absolutely foundational to me as an RPGer probably shaped every character I've played since - this film should be on the watch list of every TTRPG player.
Not perfect, but is brilliant.

Stupid Lore Sunday
The great rift has torn the galaxy asunder, worlds fall to xenos raiders, bloody insurrection, and the predation of chaos on a daily basis. Sometimes all three at once. Billions of lives are lost in moments. The imperium, great rotting beast that it is, is on the brink.
