TIL it's considered passé to use the word 'banger' with regards to a song. Richard Osman has apparently banned it and as we all know he is in charge of the Engerlish language. However I use banger quite a lot. So now have to come up with a pithy word that hyperbolically highlights my enthusiasm for a piece of music. Can we bring back Nathan Barley? That song is well Mexico.

If you live in the UK or USA, you need to understand one thing about the coming election:

You need to vote defensively.

Neither of the main parties are appealing. But if you don't vote for the lesser evil you may end up helping a totalitarian horror get elected.

Hold your nose and goddamn vote, dammit. THEN go on protests. Because if you don't vote for the lesser evil, the victor will welcome your protests with bullets.

The prize for political purity this time round is a shallow grave.

Just in case anyone's wondering. This show was inspired by @DJDarren "shout out to the Hines. Man I loved that freaking record" so if it sucks, please direct all complaints to Brotha Darren.

Thanks. lolol 😂

I'm on at the top of the hour. Drop in. Or tune in.

Just saw a post about how The Flintstones movie came out 30 years ago, and honestly, I think that movie was a slab of genius.

Sure, the story is kinda dumb, but the loving care with which they created the whole world around it was worth the price of the ticket alone. ‘50s surburban Americana with Stone Age technology that looked for all the world like it was filmed in a theme park.

I was 13 on holiday in the US with my Dad, and it was perfect.

I guess I understand why it’s the case, but it still blows my mind that British Standards documents aren’t freely available from .gov.uk as a download.

They’re literally the documents that outline how things should be done, but you have to pay a vast amount to access any of them.

@DJDarren ISO too. If not fully public sector/research based (preferred) then these sorts of things could be funded by the regulatory bodies that corporations are members of, and the standards made freely available.

One thing I love about the area where we're staying is the majority of people's front gardens are full of country cottage plants. Combined with the abundance of wildlife it's absolutely beautiful. We have a family, or two as there are so many, of fledgling wrens just outside our rented cottage's kitchen window chirping away happily.

I'm sitting in Urgent Care yet AGAIN. I'm tired of this. I don't want to survive. I want to live. But instead, I'm slowly dying inside.

Because that’s what it feels like to be a millennial. We’re a generation that uses alcohol & anti-depressants & mood stabilizers & beta blockers & psychedelics & porn & street drugs to cope with the terminally corporatized wasteland that has been left for us.

We're a generation that has seen parents panic over TV, movies, & video games that aren’t spiritual. We were told to recycle & we still litter. We've seen two teens shoot up a school & yet parents blame the same kind of machines that gave us Tetris. We've seen three planes take down three buildings. We've gone through lots of economic recessions. We watched a de-ranged billionaire become leader of the world in 2016. We've pushed through a pandemic & as a result continue to get more sick & more selfish five years later. We've seen our neighbors & friends strike & fight for their right to live & all we can do is cheer them on hoping for the best. And even in our sickness, trying to heal, trying to get better, just trying to speak up for what is truly right, we're called virtue signalers because apparently we're "lazy" but "healthy enough" not to be a "slacktivist" to show how "self-righteous" we are.

We’re a generation that is encouraged to monetize every thought or hobby we have in order to afford living in closets. Unless, of course, we’re willing or even able to move out to the middle of nowhere & live vicariously through the internet, or insert ourselves into tight-knit fundamentalist cults, an online self-help movement, or MLMs.

We were told to be nice to each other, to eat lunch with the kid that no one loves, to agree to disagree, to live in harmony & unity, to give our change or sandwich to the homeless man who can't afford to eat at Subway. Now, we're losing good people we cared about deeply to an "us VS them" virus while trying to get them to talk about something without conspiracy or trying to connect with their "old-self" in a healthier way at the dinner table. And now, if we say certain "impure" groups of people deserve an abundant life, it’s career or social media suicide.

Some of us work 2, sometimes 3 jobs to make ends meet (and some of us are stuck volunteering because no one will hire us) while baby boomers and yet simps for billionaires call us lazy because they live in an alternate dimension where the median price of a house is $20K. We're told that we're blessed and that we'll be fortunate and "to be envied" if we're rich hard workers who sacrifice our dreams and our mental health, or worse, we're sinners deserving our own living hell if we make less than $30K a year or do whatever we can to actually find freedom through sacrifice. And we're told we, the poor, who continue to dig looking for life, who are treading water in a sea of the so-called "developing world," deserve our exclusion, wage, sickness, or other issues we struggle with simply because we're disabled or intellectually challenged.

We’re forced to watch while many of these baby boomers and some of their Gen-X counterparts may usher in a US dominated Christian autocracy later this year as some warped act of revenge against the generations they raised. It is messed up the way older generations act towards us just for simply existing, just for simply being. They want revenge on us because we can actually articulate our feelings, our despair, and our on-going pain.

We’re dying prematurely, while they insist on living forever just to hold us hostage while we struggle and pour out blood, sweat, tears, and urine just to make it to tomorrow.

Meanwhile, we’re forced to listen to the ubiquitous, insipid droning on & on about “staying positive” or being "blessed" or "all things working together for good" from people who’ve never suffered in any real way. We're cogs in a giant machine toiling for a whole culture who loves anti-Christs and false prophets spewing false promises & gaslighting; a "thriving" economy of ableist grifters selling hyper-individualistic New Age, New Thought, human potential manifested Protestant work ethic gospel mysticism in the form of lower-case T'ed multi-tiered "answers."

Today, we're told "put family or church first / celebrate our health-workers / donate to charity / help the poor." Tomorrow, we're told "be yourself / let it rip / buy the latest thing for yourself / don't support welfare queens." WHICH IS IT? PICK A FUCKING LANE! Our values and boundaries are constantly being pushed, tested, and tossed in the way of cognitive dissonance! Now we don't know who to trust or what to believe anymore!

I'm one of the many whose life expectancy is declining, & I watch while the suicide rate became the highest it has been since World War II. But we just have to “realign our thinking” while we might soon start testing positive for bird flu, right? We just need to keep putting our faith in that promise that there are "plans where we'll prosper, & have a hope & a future" even if we suffer from Long Covid, right? I don't know. I don't know because the mantra of “accepting the things we cannot change” has led us to accepting the unacceptable.

We’re surviving on bad advice in bad material circumstances. We’re told to save for a retirement we won’t live to see because the sun will cook us alive before 2100. We’re told to focus on building “careers” to support an economic model based on infinite growth on a finite planet, because none of the people telling us these things can see past their own quarterly profits. They can’t see the burning forest through the trees while they’re bulldozing them with fossil-fueled vehicles to build condos no one can afford or bunkers they can shelter in so they survive post-Rapture "events of Revelation."

But hey, with any luck, maybe they’ll invent a drug that cures us of the human condition, reducing our nervous systems to a series of computations while the artificial intelligence we’re developing paints and writes songs and makes movies as we watch them from our phones while looking for food people in suits throw away on the street corners.

Ray Bradbury, Aldous Huxley, & George Orwell were more prescient in their books than the ancient ones we use to justify the never-ending wars we pay for unwillingly with our tax dollars that are supposed to go toward making our lives tolerable. But they won’t, because war is the only thing North America exports. Thanks to Arthur Finkelstein, moral panics have now become the ultimate distraction from real issues affecting our livelihoods.

And if, somehow, "they" made it this far reading this, "they" only reply: Stop being woke. Take personal responsibility. Stop playing the victim. Be a rebel. Grow up. Buy guns. Buy land. Think for yourself. Take your mask off. Stay married. Start a family, a large family who will bring "herd immunity." It's the immigrants making our country impure. It's Justin. It's Joe (Biden). It's Bernie. It's the boy or girl choosing a made-up gender killing the binary. It's the colored people making everything about race (which it actually is). It's the lazy people who pretend to be disabled to get welfare! And then in twisted irony they'll be like, turn off the news, love Straight White American Jesus Christ, and stop living in fear.

And so, each day, I strive to live laugh and love, I strive to thrive and not just survive, and yet, I only find myself continuing to die inside.

We need a new way to live.

We need a new system.

We need it soon.

Tear it all down.

Because American exceptionalism and the American dream has become the worst nightmare that is killing us all.

Minor Threat – Salad Days
7" on Dischord Records, 1985

I love every track on this EP!

This came with a 7"x28" folded one-sided insert with photos and lyrics, but I seem to have lost that. Not surprised. Pretty much on brand for me.
