BREAKING: Former Mastodon guitarist and vocalist Brent Hinds has died at 51 following a motorcycle accident in Atlanta on August 20, according to Atlanta News First. Police reported that Hinds was riding his Harley Davidson when a BMW SUV failed to yield while making a turn. The Fulton County medical examiner’s office confirmed his death. Hinds co-founded Mastodon in 2000, helping shape some of the most acclaimed metal albums of the 21st century, including Leviathan, Blood Mountain, and Crack the Skye. After 25 years with the band, Mastodon announced his departure in March 2025.

One of the most incredible days of my career. Today, I had the opportunity to drive Nigel Mansell’s championship-winning car, the FW14B, ahead of our trip to Goodwood. You dream of days like this, and that opportunity of a lifetime came today, just over 30 years since I watched this car race on TV. Today was special, but Goodwood will be on another level, with hundreds of thousands of people roaring as we climb that famous hill. I can’t wait to see you all there.

To all those people signing the e-petition calling for a UK general election, I would like to say this: Привет. Путин - это пенис.

Sky News called a murdered Palestinian toddler a "lady", but describes four active IDF soldiers hit by Hezbollah as "teenage victims". What accounts for this bias in infantilizing Israeli soldiers but treating Palestinian babies as adults? A thread.

Here is a young man like any other. He had hopes, dreams, fears, worries. His crime? Being a Palestinian born in Gaza. His last hideous moments on earth: being burned alive by an Israeli missile while attached to an IV drip. Don’t look away

In years to come, students in university departments around the world will be studying the propaganda embedded in this headline. As someone who regularly lectures in sociology, journalism and media studies, I could teach an entire lesson on the title alone. For example: 1. Treating the 4 Israeli soldiers as more important than the 23 Palestinian children (by leading the story with their deaths and just chucking in the others at the end) implies their lives are of higher value. 2. Infantilizing active duty soldiers as "teenagers" while not emphasizing the age of the schoolkids, despite many of them being demonstrably younger. 3. The classic use of the passive voice: Israelis are "killed" while Palestinians merely "die". 4. Putting scare quotes around "23 die" subtly undermines the credibility of that claim. Maybe no one died, and the Palestinians are just lying? 5. Using the word "attack" for Hezbollah actions, but choosing a more neutral, clinical word like "strike" for Israeli aggression. 6. Allowing Israeli sources to dictate the framing of the story ("Israel names teenage soldiers") etc. 7. Actually naming the Israeli soldiers, but not doing the same for the far greater number of Palestinians, again sends the message to the reader that Palestinian lives don't matter nearly as much, if at all. It's truly incredible how much propaganda has been packed into 16 words. We are swimming in an ocean of propaganda. That's why it is crucial to deconstruct it and critically assess everything you read, see and hear.

Anti-Zionism is now a protected belief in Britain. Academics, your career is legally safe: you silence has no more excuses

Does the UK government oppose genocide? An urgent letter to the Foreign Secretary from the Independent Alliance.

This is insane. In the past week alone Israel attacked the UN, bombed central Beirut, attacked aid convoys , burned people alive, threatened collective punishment against Lebanon unless it starts a civil war, and is starving Gaza And Lammy sanctions Iran for “escalating”!!!

The unforgivable stupidity of giving power and support to war-mongering, old men who think bombing the shit out of people or burning them alive will bring about anything but more hatred, terrorism and death.
