Muscle EBM, by Trellick
4 track album

Do you like EBM? I've released some more EBM as Trellick. It's hot, it's sweaty, it's great. And there's even a remix by @digitalgeist.com to get things even hotter!
It's PWYW on BC trellick.bandcamp.com/album/muscle... or find it on your streaming service of choice #ebm #electronicbodymusic

This is going to be a critical thing to understand about British politics for the next forty years: they knew this was genocide. Nobody can ever admit what they have done here. This is also important for the last forty years, where they’ve all been lying about our crimes in Northern Ireland.
Worse: having chosen to side with genocidaires, they cannot ever admit what they’ve done now without going to jail. They have forever implicated all of us, all of Britain, in America’s genocide, and they will sink the whole fucking island before they admit their malfeasance.

I will never be horny in my own actual posts, but you bet in replies I'll get hot n heavy for a thirst trap painting of Walter Raleigh
[lying on the bed seductively] hey Walter, how about you come here and do something about _this_ armada
[fifteen minutes later, glancing up from the sonnet I'm reading] so uh, do you want any help undoing all those buttons because you've been a while already and it's kind of killing the mood?

The Bigger Short 2: The Biggest Shorter Shorts Bigger
This is a quote that’ll be in The Big Short 2. His entire history is getting rich off insider stock bullshit, and OpenAI has spent more than $8 billion in OpenAI stock buying other companies too. Fake money spent like it’s real
Sam Altman has said: "The biggest economic misunderstanding of my childhood was that people got rich from high salaries."

That’s really the theme of our age isn’t it - editors simply don’t seem to care about the story of the century when it isn’t a scoop. They seem actively bored by it.
call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

if I was a boss in an RPG, I wouldn't sit at the furthest part of the deepest dungeon level.
I don't want some upstart adventurer killing my minions and smashing up all my pots and crates! I'd wait right at the entrance, so I can kill him before he's found all my magical armour and jewellery!

2025 has on balance not been enjoyable due to some ongoing health stuff that is theoretically minor but in practice is disruptive/discomforting on a daily basis (especially so if doing anything remotely fun)
However, I did get a tattoo of a grumpy frog so that's pretty great, I think.

why no, company that had a summer sale, autumn sale, Halloween sale, pre-christmas sale then a boxing day sale - I don't actually believe your sale is ending today as per your latest email. In fact, I am pretty confident that tomorrow I will receive an email telling me about your January sale
