“We know we’re on the right side of history”: Kneecap play Glastonbury despite BBC blackout



It’s almost remarkable how much ink has been spilled about Irish rap trio Kneecap.

The act, whose music celebrates drug use and puts down colonialist authorities in equal measure, became internationally infamous after a Coachella set that broadcast their views of the ongoing war in Gaza to the world. An onstage graphic that claimed Israel was committing a genocide funded by the United States landed the band in hot water. Their visas were revoked, and critics scoured their past performances for further things to get up in arms about.

When a video was found of member Mo Chara waving a Hezbollah flag he was handed from the audience, the frontman was quickly brought up on terror charges in the United Kingdom. Given the controversy around the act, and the UK’s past stances on broadcasting Irish Republicans, it might not be surprising that the BBC blacked out the band’s set from its regular feed of the annual Glastonbury Festival. ...

The state is comprised of people and fictions. It is a fragile thing.

For this reason, authoritarians must first and foremost put forth an *image* of a strong state, because if the fictions--borders, nationality, the connection between state violence and justice--all are revealed for what they truly are, the people defect, and that's that.

GUI/App to automate key presses in linux wayland
There is xclicker which is a flatpak app, but it only automate mouse clicks, but there is nothing for key presses, I am surprised I could not find anything on this, but is there any GUI for this? Also is this possible on a technical level (in flatpak especially, I dont know if apps can simulate key presses). I know of ydotool, but that uses root, also its not a gui

Dunno if it would meet your needs, but I've been using Input Remapper for binding macros to various key presses and mouse buttons under Wayland. It does prompt for root access, but it's a GUI. It supports any input method, as far as I can tell. It even supports my tablet.

I use it to bind stuff like hold(key(BTN_LEFT).wait(100)) to some button to repeatedly left click while I'm holding that button down.

Now that all can see that lawfulness under fascist America is simply a badly-written play & since it's clear that our highest court is, in fact, the most corrupt one, I was reminded by these statements at the close of Pussy Riot's trial in 2012.

It really does feel like we must all rise together. Authoritarians know who their friends are, but do we understand that we must lift each other up, across false boundaries, against the death cult of old men in power today?

nplusonemag.com/online-only/on…

A screenshot of part of the statement by Maria Alyokhina of Pussy Riot, reading: "In this framework, people begin to place high value on meaningless trifles. In prison these trifles are things like a tablecloth or plastic dishes that can only be procured with the personal permission of the head warden. Outside prison, accordingly, you have social status, which people also value a great deal. This has always been surprising to me. Another element [of this process] is becoming aware of this government functioning as a performance, a play. That in reality turns into chaos. The surface-level organization of the regime reveals the disorganization and inefficiency of most of its activities. And it’s obvious that this doesn’t lead to any real governance. On the contrary, people start to feel an ever-stronger sense of being lost—including in time and space. In jail and all over the country, people don’t know where to turn with this or that question. That’s why they turn to the boss of the jail. And outside the prison, correspondingly, they go to Putin, the top boss."

Just do want to say briefly that Bob Vylan saying “Death to the IDF” was an important, strategic and, yes, brave thing to do. Of course it pushed the limit of what is acceptable, was shocking to hear at Glastonbury (i was shocked!), but that was the point.

He single-handedly shifted the Overton Window on what is said. And he was right: The IDF is a violent war organisation that kills unarmed civilians on a daily basis and should indeed come to an end. We all know this, actually. #Gaza

Hay un motivo por el que resulta difícil de definir el fascismo y es que casi todas las demás ideologías se definen por lo que proponen, por lo que quieren conseguir. En cambio el fascismo se define por lo que odian. Sus objetivos en realidad son difusos y no están claros.

Se habla siempre de "volver" a una supuesta "grandeza anterior", de "patriotismo" y "viejas tradiciones" pero nunca explican exactamente cómo hacerlo. No hay un plan organizado ni un proyecto claro.

Sus propuestas solo se concretan y se vuelven claras cuando hablan sobre lo que odian. Sus propuestas son siempre destructivas, no constructivas.

No quieren conseguir nada, lo que quieren es que los demás no lo hagan.

Buenos y tórridos días. Mientras estoy con el café, ya con 27,6 grados a las ocho menos diez de la mañana, veo esto y me dan más ganas de salir corriendo. Mientras en Madrid cierran el retiro y solo se puede estar fresco en un centro comercial o en casa pagando aire acondicionado non stop, en Bilbao ponen más parques con tumbonas (si, estos ya no tienen bancos, sino tumbonas para relajarse en medio de jardines) y duchas para refrescarse.

作为一个没怎么了解过这方面知识的人，很想听听大家对中医中药的看法。

网上刷到不管什么疾病的内容，下面都会有评论推荐看中医吃中药，本来觉得有点咯噔，因为他们说话的方式总给我一种在传销的感觉。但包括身边的人在内推崇中医的人越来越多了，我就疑惑了，大家推崇中医，到底是因为很多人真的用它治好了病，还是一种意识形态宣传的结果。

韩国日本也会有人用汉方药，我觉得传统医学本身并没有那么可恨，但它一旦和其他东西绑定在一起，就变味了，所以现在有一种很奇怪的感觉。反中医的理由我当然也听过，并且觉得挺有道理，想在毛象再听一听香油的意见。

你要找对医生。我个人体验是有效果。我只是去调理也没和医生说我每个夏天脖子后面会固定发湿疹。用过所有外用药也没法根治。但是，之前去看过一段时间中医调理，主要是看睡眠。喝完一段时间中药，脖子后面的湿疹就再也没有复发过了。还有就是我爸的肺部，所有医生都是说要开刀，但是他已经开过一次肾脏的刀，他不愿意再熬一次。他就要保守治疗喝中药，最近的一次检查下来是说结节有变小。感觉不是急症的话，偶尔调理一下是可以的。但是记得是药三分毒，最多三个月查一下肝肾功能。一般都是大夏天和大冬天去看中医。认真筛选一下可靠的医生

J.K. Rowling Destroyed Trans Ideology With One Savage Tweet

Famed “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling became a vocal critic of transgender ideology back in 2019, when she supported a woman who lost her job for saying that biological sex is immutable. In 2020, Rowling’s tweets and essay argued that prioritizing “gender identity” over biological sex threatens women’s rights and safety, drawing from her experience as an abuse survivor. She faced fierce backlash, was branded a “TERF” by activists, and even endured death threats, but stood firm.

Rowling’s stance has only grown more defiant as she continues to call out the bullying tactics of trans activism and the erasure of women. Despite relentless attacks from activists, media outlets, and even cast members from “Harry Potter,” her unapologetic wit and unwavering resolve have made her a leading voice of resistance against a radical ideology that silences dissent. This week, she once again proved why she remains a formidable force in the culture war over gender, giving courage to countless women who’ve been too afraid to speak out.

Apparently some people have been attacking Rowling by saying she looks like a “trans woman.” Her response to such attacks says it all:

Attention all men telling me I look like a trans woman: I’m sensing that this isn’t meant as a compliment. In fact, the implication seems to be that trans women look male, or odd, or ugly. This is appallingly transphobic and I’ll thank you to take your bigotry off my timeline.

He then reiterated his intent to raise taxes on #NewYork’s wealthiest as part of a campaign pledge “to shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods”.

Neo liberals are just as bad as hardcore pro-Soviet hardliners, if not worse.

All neoliberals did was make capitalism suck even more than it already did. At least the Soviet Union was an upgrade from the feudal backwardness that came before it in history.

The only reason people don't write op eds about deaths from capitalism or build memorials to its victims is because the West is more effective at enacting mass violence and using the illusion of democracy to conceal the totalitarian abuses they inflict (primarily on the African, Asian, and South American continents)

The Soviet Union had a brutal and repressive system. The Soviet Union was worse at it than the Western European powers that invented the game, and that's why it collapsed.

Stalin could not beat the brutality of Washington, or Jefferson, or Churchill, or Reagan. He simply couldn't. His brand of despotism was too blatant and too ineffective in its deceptiveness to continue beyond a couple generations.

I find #Genocide against #Palestinians to be DEEPLY OFFENSIVE!

#Starmer criticises 'appalling' #BobVylan #IDF chants

Adam Hale & Zahra Fatima, BBC News

"The prime minister has condemned UK punk duo Bob Vylan for urging 'death' to Israeli troops in what he called 'appalling hate speech'.

"#GlastonburyFestival organisers have also said they were 'appalled' after frontman rapper Bobby Vylan led chants of 'free, #FreePalestine' and 'death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]'.

"In a statement, Sir Keir Starmer said the BBC had questions to answer over its live broadcast of the group's performance on Saturday.

"A BBC spokesperson previously said some of the comments were 'deeply offensive', adding it had issued a warning on screen about 'very strong and discriminatory language'. The set will not be available on BBC iPlayer."

When UK government ministers are questioned about the latest atrocity by the Israeli military or about their overall pattern of obvious and unashamed #CrimesAgainstHumanity committed with impunity, what do they do? With what phrase do they robotically answer?

"IsRaEl hAs A rIgHt To dEfeNd iTsELf."

This response to blatant, daily #WarCrimes, coupled with ongoing provision of weaponry to the criminals, and repeated calls for the end to the only recognised elected authority in #Gaza (all further elections having been suppressed by #Israel), insisting that Israel can continue their slaughter in the name of 'self-defence'—how is this not incitement to violence? How is this not hate speech? How is this not active complicity in #genocide?

And when the #BBC (and other media) publish statements from the #IDF without context, correction or critique, statements that defend their campaign of #extermination, promise to continue it, and which implicitly dehumanise Palestinians or that justify behaviour that clearly involves both indiscriminate attacks and the deliberate targeting of civilians (including children), how is that not #IncitementToViolence and #HateSpeech?
