#JonathanCook | The BBC pushes the case for an illegal war on Iran with even bigger lies than Trump's
[The] "BBC’s reporting by Sarah Smith coolly lays out the US mechanics of attacking Iran – the build-up to war – without ever mentioning that such an attack would be in complete violation of international law."

Nigella Lawson is going to be on Bake Off but I'd only watch it if Harry Hill also joined the grown up version of the show.
I think Nigella and Harry would make a good team.

I suspect Mohammad Marandi is a mouthpiece for the Iranian government, so I don't think he's giving a complete picture of things in #Iran but I do think there's Western and Mossad influence in what's going on.

"This isn't my first rodeo" means your have participated in many rodeos, doesn't it?
It doesn't mean you merely attended the rodeos because that's easy. You just buy a ticket and go.
But 'This isn't my first rodeo' specifically implies you are one of those who's been on those jumping horses and you've lassoed a cow or something and you wear those leather trouser-protectors and one of those hat.
You took part in the rodeo.
That's what it means, surely!
It can't mean you just went and watched. How is that impressive?

I love how on Goo the song Mary Christ ends with the intro to Kool Thing.
I'm sure the original plan was to merge the two songs together but for whatever reason, they decided not to. I think that's why it is how it is.
But I like how they just left it as it was, without rerecording or editing Mary Christ.
Maybe they just realised they preferred it that way, or maybe they just couldn't be bothered to change it, or maybe the change would bring less pleasing results.
Whatever it is, it is what it is.
But that's how art and creativity is sometimes. Happy accidents as Bob Ross would say.

Girl in a Band #Book is good, but some things are just completely skipped over, not given any attention.
I'd like to know what the recording process was like for each album. Not necessarily technical stuff, but what it was like working with different people, what they were trying to achieve, how stressful it was, etc.
She mentions what certain songs were about and that interests me - the ideas that inspired the lyrics, etc.
But she cherry picks the songs and doesn't talk about all of them. I'd like to know a little bit more sometimes, especially since #SonicYouth lyrics can be a little bit abstract at times.
When she reveals the thinking behind a song, it makes me see the song in a different way, and lyrics that meant nothing to me suddenly become a little bit more interesting.

... the writing of Bottom is mostly about the jokes. There's a clever interweaving of ideas, how something is mentioned, a joke is made, but then it is later referred back to, to make another joke. But there's a clever contradictory nature about these jokes, where one minute they say one thing, the next they are saying something entirely different. All that matters it that the joke is made.
So storywise, Bottom episodes are all over the place but it doesn't matter. But there's still a clear 3-act structure to them - and initial set up, a middle, a conclusion.
As for Kim Gordon, I think it's common for musicians to just play stuff and when they like something, build upon that. But Kim mentions her band Free Kitten and how people saw it as maybe a joke band and how she didn't have a lot of time to dedicate to it.
But I love Free Kitten and I've never seen it as some kind of ironic endeavour. Sure, it's kind of a loose-ends sort of thing, but that's what makes it great when it works.

#ElectronicIntifada | Palestine expert joins think tank funded by Britain’s war industry
"While the book contains many important facts, it presents a misleadingly incomplete picture of British policy. A chapter titled “International Responses” puts a positive spin on decisions taken by the current government in London, arguing that “perhaps most notably” it announced during 2024 that 30 out of 350 permits for exporting weapons to Israel had been suspended."

"Those in the West who pretend this is about human rights, and not about eliminating the last elements of physical resistance to Greater Israel, are sickeningly hypocritical.
Opposition to the government of Iran and support for its violent overthrow has become the new entry ticket to the Overton Window Show of British media and politics. It is the new “Do you condemn Hamas?”
Those who bow the knee before the latest ruse of Western Imperialist conquest, in the interests of maintaining their establishment respectability, should be treated with contempt."

#CraigMurray | Resisting the Respectable Opinion on Iran
"If anybody really wanted to help actual Iranians, they should be campaigning to lift the sanctions. Making that dependent on the installation of a Zionist Shah shows that this is actually about support for Israel, not about helping ordinary Iranians."

#JonathanCook | Barrister's powerful speech at Filton Trial reminds jury of its right to defy judge
Rajiv Menon KC: "Obviously, if you agree with the judge’s opinion, you may adopt it. But the opposite is equally true. If you don’t agree with the judge’s opinion, you may reject it. That is your right. That is your privilege, as jurors, because I repeat, you are the sole judges of the facts. Nobody, not even His Lordship, can direct you to convict in this case. So that’s what I say about criminal damage."
