Thanks to @bootstheory.bsky.social on @1of200.bsky.social for the hat-tip on this ‘cast. Really good.
One of the darkest episodes we've recorded but also in some ways one of the most hopeful. We have to have gallows humor in these times.

part of what makes the one-two of sly and brian slipping away land so hard is that there was a very real sense in which they both could have gone in say 1986 and no one would have been very surprised or felt like there was a missing chapter. the classic work spoke for itself. rock takes its toll.

Sorry (not sorry) Zionists, immigrant settlers, and your media enablers, it’s deplorable to kill babies & children, destroy hospitals, schools, infrastructure, do ethnic cleansing, encourage hatred, do Gaza genocide. May your false god torture you forever in your afterlife.

People thinking I’m Mark Cuban. I wish. Don’t know how this happened. Remember Tom HomeBrew assuming this at a gig but that was me mumbling.
I don't care. TikTok is corrupt now that their CEO is in bed with Trump. They'll sell it to our oligarchs and ruin it like Musk did Twitter. It won't be the same. I hope @markcubey.bsky.social can build something like the old TikTok, maybe even better!
TikTok is officially coming back online.

If England makes it through the next ten years without an unprecedented fire, I will be astonished.
