I am very guilty to say I'd not even heard of the Iconocasts album until a couple of weeks ago.

I'll give it a whirl this weekend!

I am quite surprised at the number of people going full-on for Geese in end of year lists. I didn't realise until this weekend they were in their mid-twenties! I just don't think it's something that's AMAZING.

I loved the last Ethel Cain album, I've just not listened to the one from this year. 💀

And we are the ones who have created the situation where they have neither.

I agree, but then you're also back into my logic of (a) actually needing to spend the amount of money that we used to spend on news as individuals/society, and (b) stop demanding and reacting to it on a minute-by-minute basis.

We need news staff who are paid well, and have the time to do their job.

Everyone is reading what they want into the story. No matter how carefully worded the story is. Some bits are video game culture, or 4chan stuff, or have several meanings.

A message to take from this is to think about what we're amplifying, consuming & reacting to this daily information onslaught.

That's still up. But it doesn't say he *was* antifa. It says "references to"; and other reports are saying similarly.

Are they? Do we not need links anymore?

Did you sing the "shall I open it or shall I keep it sealed" song?

(What do you mean these are the wrong cards, hush)
