This happens to be my favourite tie. It has become one of the few I wear regularly.

Seeing Conservative bigots have melt-downs over Pink Floyd’s legendary colour-scheme, presented in a logo celebrating the upcoming 50th Anniversary of “Dark Side of the Moon” is a painful reminder of the rise in hateful online rhetoric. That rhetoric has been made possible thanks to extremist elected officials getting platforms, thereby giving their supporters the illusion that they can spread hateful bullshit.

The colours were always there. They are on the record cover, which I have, and most of these hateful bigots probably do not.

Stupidity remains more plentiful than oxygen.
