I gave the Portfolio section on m web site a make-over: https://denisdefreyne.com/portfolio/

A distinct improvement over what it was before, I believe.

A mistake in Twin Peaks! When Sheriff Harry S. Truman asks Pete Martell what computer games he’s been playing, Pete says Grand Theft Auto. However, Grand Theft Auto would only come out in 1997, six years after this episode originally aired.

I keep thinking that I must be missing something — why otherwise would so many people be excited about AI otherwise?

But for me, it is one head-scratcher after another. And none of it is useful.

Bob Vylan statement released today. 👏

@bullivant such an intelligent and reasoned statement compared to the bollocks the critics are saying

Bad News, Bob:
https://unbound.social/@aaronpettman/114778770664901147

Rather than despair, the response should be to get him as many shows as possible through other means.

Aaron Pettman (@aaronpettman@unbound.social)

Bob Vylan was dropped by his talent agency, had his US visa revoked and is under criminal investigation, and *complete silence* from those who are usually so outraged at "cancel culture". Apparently they would rather frame their "free speech" crusade as a right to use the n-word.

Show threadiamBullivant2d ago
@Lazarou @reay @mhoye To be fair, I was there at the start of punk, London 1976/1977. We did not have the political conscious or motivation of these guys. So well done to them. 👏

@bullivant
“Today, a good many people would have you believe a punk band is the number one threat to world peace. Last week it was a Palestine pressure group, the week before that it was another band.”
Yup.
Who will it be next week?
Because it certainly won’t be the IDF…..

@bullivant Glastonbury are such cowards. Their statement is: “Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.”

Well, what is it? Do Glastonbury think Bob Vylan said antisemitic things, committed hate speech and incited violence? Then say that. If not, don’t insinuate that they did.

@ahltorp @bullivant Emily Eavis is the coward, her dad said "if you don't like the politics at Glastonbury then don't go"
Show threadiamBullivant2d ago
@Lazarou @ahltorp Unfortunately the BBC, run by Tufton Street and the Israeli lobby, has infested and corrupted Glastonbury.
Show threadLazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈2d ago

@bullivant @ahltorp I wonder what influence theyll have over the lineup next time?
I expect Emily to fold under pressure like she has already.

"No angry Blacks, Browns or Irish" theyll go..

Show threadiamBullivant2d ago
@Lazarou @ahltorp Yeap. You forgot the dogs, though. 'No blacks, No Irish, No Dogs'. but, yes, I suspect that you are right. We'll find politically 'risky' acts banished and the line up filled with geriatric performers like Rod the Prod.
Show threadLazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈2d ago
@bullivant @ahltorp actually dogs aren't allowed because bless 'em, a human music festival would probably be hell for them! It's though on us humans tbf! lol
Show threadiamBullivant2d ago
@ahltorp I know, it's absolute bullshit. Anti-IDF chants are NOT antisemitic. I speak as somebody deeply vested in the issue of antisemitism.
Show threadRobin Barton3d ago
@bullivant I agree. Israel has used victimology as a tool to bludgeon any who criticize its government policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide
Show threadInfoseepage3d ago
@bullivant Interesting how their statement echoes Greta Thunberg's very ego-less statement about how this isn't about her and her acts are simply to get people focusing on what they should. At every opportunity, redirect to the actual issue. It's great media management.
Show threadiamBullivant2d ago
@Infoseepage Yes. It was very adroit and to the point: 'Never mind me, lets talk about the thousand of dead children murdered by the IDF for 'shits and giggles'.

@bullivant Well in the UK you can't chant kill Israeli (which should be banned) but Israelis can kill Palestinians
I would which is morally worse? Hmmmm....

@Robo105 @bullivant Well I suppose you can’t just suspend the law just because Israel seems to be able to do whatever it likes.

@mark @bullivant True and much of it is driven by evangelical desire to have nuclear war in the middle east which will herald the second coming. Insane
Show threadfear is not a Weltanschauung3d ago
@bullivant the only group making gains from this whole conflict are neo-nazis, who are gleefully amplifying the Neyenyahu government's pressuring allies into suppressing criticism from public figure. The Israeli government's own actions are so easily used to justify that tired antisemitic conspiracy shit about how "da jooze" secretly control the world's governments and media. Stop the war. the only ones winning are *literal nazis*.
