New instance account

If you want to know the main theme of this account ... I generally like to critique things. I usually critique art, books, TV, Movies, etc. And quite often I'm interested story structure and logic. I guess that's my USP or something.

I post either on the Fediverse or on my #PsychicDrool blog.

I love avant-garde stuff, love noisy music. I'm currently into John Coltrane.

@npub1437…ranm Sanpellegrino's alright. I suppose it's a posh soft drink.
I'd say Fanta is Tory Fanta since it's made by Coca-Cola.

I thought Paul Mason was supposed to be standing against Corbyn in the Islington North constituency.
But Labour's got some other corporate-friendly conservative to stand instead.

Everyone hates billionaires
Unless it's Taylor Swift for some reason. Apparently she's an acceptable kind of billionaire.

Whenever I read about the armed, masked police sent to deal with the peaceful protesters in the US, I think of the oft-mentioned claim I read on Fedi:
"If you don't vote for Biden you'll get fascism."

As someone who's never worked in one of them big buildings with lots of windows ...
What the hell is HR anyway?

@npub1437…ranm You need to publish a blog of your Clash hot takes so you get millions of haters.

@npub1437…ranm I'd agree Public Enemy are better. But as I said, some people don't like such comparisons.
Me, I'd be interested in a comparison: How they are anti-establishment, what their overall message is, originality of music etc.
There's something there to explore. I find that really interesting.
I do like The Clash though. They're just not my favourite band for a long way.

You know, some people are really averse to comparing art and culture, or ranking which is the best, when really all you're doing is expressing your own preferences for things.
I mean, you're allowed to have an opinion, even if no one else agrees with it.
And I'm very much used to people not liking the things I love.
TBH I think the only wrong answer is saying it's wrong to compare things.

The news loves pointing to Russia and going: Look how much of a corrupt dictatorship it is!
Not like here in the west where our democracy is brilliant!!!!

#MilesDavis may be innovative and brilliant but I don't see how anyone can think his music is better than #JohnColtrane

The thing about #FrankHester's #racist comments about #DianeAbbott is it's the sort of thing someone says alongside the phrase "I'm not being racist ..."

David Baddiel was on Channel 4 news and he both-sided criticism of pro-Palestinian marches by saying he didn't feel scared going through central London, but at the same time, with the constant focus on the slaughter in Gaza some Jewish people might feel scared by people marching to express their wish for an end to genocide.
And basically what he said was, Jewish feelings are worth more that the actual lives of Palestinians.

I think the #Fediverse is exactly how #anarchy would work.
See? It works good.
