Depth Charge album Nine Deadly Venoms on tge turntabke with a can of Venom Cherry Sour next to the deck

Bit of an old beats classic. Nine Deadly Venoms with a Venom Cherry Sour.

Maybe but in the film the whole store was filled with the generic stuff, was clearly a wry joke.

The OG for all this was the grocery store in Repo Man (1984)

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Invasion Day 'explosive' device hidden inside Disney Frozen sock, witness says A homemade "fragment bomb" thrown into a crowd at a Perth Invasion Day rally yesterday was hidden in a child's sock with a Disney character on it, a woman who picked it up tells the ABC.

It’s so revealing how the attempted bombing isn’t bigger news in the Australian media cycle. It’s so clear how it matters less if the attacker is white and the intended victims primarily Aboriginal. The hierarchy of racism in Australia is so transparent

What an incredible photo.

A can of beer in front, dark beer with a big head in a glass behind, next to a white record deck, the record is behind thedeck, with a purple sleeve showing a dude in a Black Sabbath denim jacket.

This Sabbath covers album on Sacred Bones is remarkable for two reasons. Zola Jesus doing Changes and Moon Duo doing Planet Caravan - both sublime versions.

A red vinyl copy of Adventure by Television on the turntable, a crisp dry beer at the side. The Television album is from John Peel's collection - bought in an auction a couple of months ago.

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

The war in Gaza has killed 186 journalists as of Aug 11, 2025. This is the highest number ever recorded in any war. 🚨

It is more than the total journalists killed in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, the Yugoslav Wars, and Afghanistan combined. ⚖️📸💔

I have no photo either but my favourite was from Beer in Devon. "Paint for Sale. Green it is."

He should go the whole Catch 22 and get Iran to pay for the US to bomb their own base.

The end of reality - The Shot Our establishment has asked us to believe that up is down, and that might is right. That this slaughter is ok. They are lying to you.

Here's @omarsakr.bsky.social, making his debut on The Shot. "The end of reality"

First ever release on On U Sound - New Age Steppers' sublime cover of Fade Away

Under the cover of the on-again/off-again Coalition drama, Labor is gearing up to approve an absolutely catastrophic gas project.

Woodside’s North West Shelf is an untapped climate bomb.

This approval would mean supercharged floods, fires and species extinctions.

KNEECAP STATEMENT 14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. We deny this ‘offence’ and will vehemently defend ourselves. This is political policing. This is a carnival of distraction. We are not the story. Genocide is. As they profit from genocide, they use an ‘anti-terror law’ against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage. A charge not serious enough to even warrant their ‘crown court’, instead a court that doesn’t have a jury. What’s the objective?

To restrict our ability to travel. To prevent us speaking to young people across the world. To silence voices of compassion. To prosecute artists who dare speak out. Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.

WE STAND PROUDLY WITH THE PEOPLE. YOU STAND COMPLICIT WITH THE WAR CRIMINALS. WE ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. YOU ARE NOT. WE WILL FIGHT YOU IN YOUR COURT. WE WILL WIN. FREE PALESTINE
