It’s weird neoliberal city that barely cares about art unless it is a populist flashy legacy devoid spectacle. This old codger is finally developing long overdue cultural myopia.12 Jul 2025 09:33 +0000at://did:plc:2mans2ns3slsn2hbpsbsfaqf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltr2j6hwx22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/jimstax.bsky.social/post/3lstawja7222qBBC stating as fact Bob Vylan shouted ‘death to IDF soldiers’. That is not what was said and plain wrong. ‘Death, death to the IDF’ is easily not about killing soldiers but getting rid of a brutal criminal military regime.30 Jun 2025 13:08 +0000at://did:plc:2mans2ns3slsn2hbpsbsfaqf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lstawja7222qhttps://bsky.app/profile/jimstax.bsky.social/post/3lp7vryhs4c2cEvri are the worst!15 May 2025 16:12 +0000at://did:plc:2mans2ns3slsn2hbpsbsfaqf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lp7vryhs4c2chttps://bsky.app/profile/jimstax.bsky.social/post/3lmrsdwkw3k2nKaty Perry is a ‘member of the crew’.
