it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Asking around the internet for a copy of a cassette tape that was released to readers of a small-time Beck zine in 1994
It contains an interview with Beck's mom that has some crucial info on it
If I manage to track down this tape, I will be ELATED

any movie that centers on a toxic asshole and presents it in an energetic, entertaining way, should stop pretending to criticize anything, since the audience walks away thinking "the guy's a piece of shit who ruined everyone's life, but i had a fun time" and that last part overrides everything else.

PSA: twitter, X, is doing new terms of service that basically make it so that any comtent you share on there including DMs and photos is theirs and they can use it for "any purpose" including commercial use.
So, if you have a page you’ve left up and don’t want them there’s time to act 1/

reminder that you can replace three (or more) distinct brush sizes with a single one if you do this sort of thing (without the fiddliness and exhaustion of having to carefully maintain three specific ranges of pressures, like you would on brushes that usually have a straight diagonal line in here)
