Never forget that #SesameStreet once did a sketch based on Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which involved a Swedish fisherman counting seals until he found the seventh one.

I too listen to music only if I agree with the opinions of the artist. That way I am great and have a smaller music collection.

Of course I knew nothing of a Pregnant Meghan Dancing Video that has caused such reignited fury among the twerps and cunts of conservative British journalism. Just watched it - joyous. The king and queen in exile. Ha ha ha, brilliant! What the fuck is wrong with them, the po-faced twerps and cunts?
That video of Meghan dancing is a good impression of the average 60 something auntie at a black family party
The fact the British press are losing their minds over it does more than anyone ever could to demonstrate how homogenous it is & the issues it has in understanding mild cultural differences

Historic photos that look like a group on Rough Trade or Cherry Red in 1981 (Thread 3 of 3):
Marta Erps, Katt Both and Ruth Hollos when they were Bauhaus students c. 1927. In my head, they sound like this youtu.be/xAfLIbw8sks

Enough is enough. There's a pattern here. These depraved fucking abusers made no attempt to integrate into civilised society. It's about time their community (white, Scottish) asked itself some very fucking hard questions indeed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Social media really feels like a very successful long con. Years of high minded guff about bringing people together to conceal the brute pursuit of money and power and damn the consequences.
