Synth noodling conceptual artist
“Disrupter”… Yeah, we need to stop using that word. He’s as much part of the establishment as the Tory members he’s helped replace.
His party is a corporate entity, and we’ll see how he gets on niw that he legally has to file his financial interests.
Someone knows their cock rights.
Oh no, I get you. I think we are a similar age.
I was at the Reading Festival in '96 and I think offspring were playing.
There was a slightly older guy stood in the middle of the crowd shouting, you call this punk… This ain’t punk. This ain’t shit.
The kids were laughing at him.
This week in Glasgow Green Day played a gig and all I saw was middle aged men and their daughters wearing matching merch t-shirts.
I’m assuming at some point I travel back in time to '96 to try to stop this.
She may be a Puncke: for many of them, are neither Maid, Widow, nor Wife.

Damn, you really old.
That’s a fair question.
The arts are seen as a luxury and a frippery. They are also seen as elitist.
If you want to defund public services and remain popular, the playbook is to remove the arts first. That way you are demonstrating the order of needs.
That’s not cheese, that’s yellow shrink wrap
You can’t defund social welfare programmes without defunding the arts first. To defund healthcare you have to defund the arts. To defund schools, you first have to defund the arts.
You know where this is going.
The arts are the canary and it is lying dead at the bottom of the cage.
Nah, its for “grizzled tanman”. You oldies just don’t get it.
That hair though.
C’mon man, it’s time to get a coverage appropriate cut or just shave it altogether.
He looks like a boiled sweet that’s been dropped on the carpet.
I once made a music video for Sony Universal.
They paid me £4k.
They liked it a lot and asked if I would do another. I asked if the fee was the same and they said I’d be doing it for exposure.
I told them I’m capable of exposing myself.
I stuck it to them.
I’m still poor, but at least I’m not working for it.
All my heart still belongs to the canon HV20 forum. It taught me how to film, it taught me how to chat to people in an online community.
It was never about a camcorder. It was about connection.
Plus, you could search for stuff on google and the forum results would pop up. Good look with discord doing that.
Aye, and it sounds like it.
It’s perfect in its corny hyperbolic horror spook schlock.
It’s not war and peace.
Can you even imagine a case where someone spends note than an hour writing this stuff?
…Dave, I’ve slaved for weeks on this short two minute monologue that cribs from most every “horror” show out there?
Mate, it’s just one accent. A mono-accent across an entire country. People from Glasgow and Edinburgh sound exactly the same… Can’t tell them apart. And if you go to Wick, right at the top, same. It’s wild.
I don’t want to have to add a /s but I just know some fud is going to comment “well ackshurly”.
Love how this story grows arms and legs. It was actually a Jimmy Carr joke that folk pretend was real.
Dunno, just feels like a vague statement with no real evidence.
Sort of like, “you wouldn’t know my girlfriend, she goes to a different school”.
Really, which scientists?
The comment section of that video demonstrates why many people ate put off by the Linux community.
Sure, the guy made a bad call on manjaro, but the weird smug comments and toxicity as a response seems disproportionate.
The arch userbase pretending they did something more difficult than follow a recipe.
Hey maybe we can have a clusterfuck of our very own!
I’m in my early/mid forties and still feel lost occasionally.
I think it’s a thing about being an adult. It’s not to be feared but embraced. Besides, it means you are thinking and not just doing.
The wilderness gives you time to find your own direction.
Still, it is a little disquieting. You’ll make it through, I promise, but you’ll end up back there too.
Are you saying that I made something up? If so, let me know which bit it is and I’ll happily correct it.
Just to be clear though, I wasn’t saying he hasn’t had an impact on British politics. As the front man for some very shady interests he helped bring about a brexit referendum by causing the Tory party internal angst (Cameron really thought the country would vote to remain and he’d silence the right of his party that was being egged in by Farage). Nor am I negating that he has enjoyed unprecedented media exposure that has helped divide the UK.
