If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

The 16-year-old who shot two students in a Colorado high school on the same day Charlie Kirk was killed was a virulent white supremacist and antisemite www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

Look, I understand why there's so much "debate" abt whether or how to memorialize a notorious bad actor like Kirk, but I think that discussion largely misses what's at stake: the relationship of violence to the white conservative project in the U.S. My latest (icymi):
Why We Pretend
When the truth is unthinkable, we lie to ourselves and one another.

Croatian-speaking fans of Shane MacGowan can now buy this edition courtesy of Rockmark!

Fantastic photo of Shane on the cover, I think you’ll agree. I love how all the translated editions look so different.

I've cursed, bled and sworn. Jumped bail and landed up in jail. Life has often tried to stretch me but the rope always was slack.

And now that I've a pile, I'll go down to the Chelsea. I'll walk in on my feet but I'll leave there on my back.

The Celts are in action today; many fans will be hoping to get an early start on St Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Over the years, there’s been lots of Patricks connected to Celtic.

This thread tells the story of some of them…

It still seems fresh and relevant today. I first heard the album in 1979 as a young’un and it’s the only album from my youth remaining on the current playlist. The dub and dubber versions from the easy star all stars are well worth checking out. open.spotify.com/album/2w9qrr...
