    David Lynch RIP

    When I started out in teaching, Twin Peaks was being broadcast on British TV. Many of the staff and older pupils were captivated by it, including myself of course. Soon the time came for me to give my first whole school assembly. As the subject I taught was Religious Studies, those who were...

    Elon Musk

    Prior to the name change, some far-right users of what was then Twitter were readily identifiable by the use of a red 'X' in their handles to signal their belief that they were being shadow banned at the behest of 'the elite'.

    What are you watching on youtube right now?

    This is a Japanese news story - only a minute and a half - about a bloke in Hiroshima who is distraught following the death (at the age of 44 or 45) of the pet he grew up with: an alligator. I thought it would be confined to a compound or something, but no. If you watch the clip on YouTube...

    Just started this book: My reason for drawing attention to it on this thread is because it's out-of-print and quite rare. Copies are usually advertised at £50+ online. I should know as I've been after it for a long time. But there's currently one going for £18.99 (including postage) on the...

    Is The End of Christendom Nigh?

    Meanwhile, over in Russia, twats like Patriarch Kirill (who was almost certainly a KGB agent when he was a mere Archimandrite in the Orthodox Church) are doing a pretty good job of shoring up Putin’s fascist Eurasianism project.

    Is The End of Christendom Nigh?

    To answer the question posed in the title of this thread, Pentecostal Christianity is doing quite well when it comes to making new converts (not that I regard that as a good thing). So maybe the CofE and the Catholic Church in the UK might get a few more punters in if they indulged in a bit...

    Elon Musk

    My concern is that Musk and his far-right fellow travellers are about more than just that. I see him as attempting to arouse an animus against mainstream Muslims who are as appalled by the rape gang cover up and the terrorist attacks perpetrated by ISIS and Salafi-Jihadists as the rest of us. A...

    "McDonnell didn't think that Islam had anything to do with the creation of groomers. The men who tormented her daughter were about as godless as they came, far beyond the reach and influence of the mosques.” See these publications for more on this: The full interview with McDonnell can be...

    Punk and New Wave thread.

    Already posted this in another thread but may as well do so here. Was never a fan of The Only Ones, though I can appreciate, albeit from something of a distance, that 'Another Girl, Another Planet' is a good song. That has now changed with this release, so I'll certainly be checking out...

    New Music - 2024

    Rather late in the year I have discovered what may be the best album to be released during it. Perrett appears to have lived a life as dissolute as, say, other punk icons like Johnny Thunders or Dee Dee Ramone, so it is quite remarkable that he is still with us. And what is even more...
