The Daily Telegraph writes about how BREXIT was a bad idea and Joe Rogan is sad that ICE are killing people - you fuckers are the makers of this sort of world

Amazing statement from the chaplain of the MN Timberwolves, I’m guessing in response to the craven press release co-signed by so many local CEOs today (inc the Timberwolves!) calling for the “deescalation of tensions” here but refusing to assign any specific blame or even *mention* ICE / CBP

This "conflicting accounts" narrative of the BBC's is a much bigger problem than they seem to think.

The huge issue is not false balance - it's that they're NOT reporting the biggest story of today: the fact the US Government is lying about its own forces killing a US citizen.

There's a lot of awful news being discussed on here. Rightly and understandably. Me included.

How about we intersperse it with some joy.

Post the name of a book/album/movie people should check out and a happy photo.

It’s devastating that a generation of Americans is coming of age who’ll find it normal to regularly spend time analysing video footage to establish whether their government has summarily executed one of its citizen in public with impunity.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Actual play RPG fans - I just watched this from @whohurtyouap.bsky.social & it really got to me.
An amazingly heart-rendingly tragic tale - by the end I was weeping.
And yes, it's about two Geese.

There are two types of people in the world
-People who get teary-eyed watching Johnny Cash's video for Hurt, no matter how many times they've seen it before,
-And unfeeling monsters you should best avoid.

Everyone should know The History Of Heavy Metal.

If you love hilarity and metal (which every IMPQ listener no doubt does) then this is essential.

Also, as much as I love Zippy, I can only ever hear Mustaine as per this performance.
One of my favourite stand up shows ever. Saw it live, bought the DVD - and I'm going to watch it again tonight on YouTube!!

The inimitable @andrewoneillcomedy.bsky.social presents The History Of Heavy Metal will full band accompaniment.

Can't wait to see History Of Punk!
