Lias is a poet. He is the Jim Morrison on Fat White Family. Such an inspiration.

[@jamiekirk3198]

He’s a try-hard 6th form blurt who loves the smell of his own farts x

[@dannybowden5296]

Him, Jason Williamson and Chris Martin should have a "You know" off!

[@fatdancer-ij7mk]

Yeah, but the other two are shite, y'know?

[@assassin1478]

And Paul McCartney

[@dannybowden5296]

​@@assassin1478 Good shout!

[@louisea.normand]

Can't believe this is how I find out he's been to my hometown (Montpellier)

[@TheSoapCompany]

The man completely knows the importance of substance. However you want to take this comment is up to you, but our take is that he is a VERY important Artist whether he believes it or not. We look forward to an immense and colourful journey with him and his work.

[@jasondouglas2132]

Yes genius. Obvious to the haters he has more genes than us. brilliant ban get over with its

[@Barbarianke]

Genius

[@TheLunarnotes]

This guy needs to write more and take less Ket, some one kick him up the arse! He's a very intriguing and articulate fella, his observations and insights, especially with regards to the ego and the creative process, are great. More writing and more public speaking, I say.

[@onetwothreefourfivesix]

Marie Curie said it best when she told the French peasants, "Let them eat ket".

[@helenga666]

The drug days are over (fortunately/unfortunately). Times are a changin'

[@kundalinicobain6897]

Well, one can just feel all emotions. That’s what somatic psychotherapy is about. Boredom is also a bunch of sensations in our body, just like dread. You can locate it all in the body and release it mostly. Then the dread turns into peace and love. 🤘 now THATS fucking punk rock, eh?

[@nicolabrittain3101]

yeah

[@kundalinicobain6897]

Had he been an English teacher in Korea, he would have said “South Korea” ;)

[@johnvegas9059]

Suck that they have to deal with Saul , who hides his horribleness under the guise of mental illness. Saul too busy modding for Heidi Slimane in Paris to make anything resembling good music. Lias rules though. These guys were the best in like 2017-2018.

[@jesipohl6717]

Lias writes for the transphobic publication UnHerd

[@LiamFarrell-ux3vs]

Shows how much you know.

[@thegrinderman1090]

The point of UnHerd is to publish viewpoints that go against the consensus. Hence the name. They published an article where someone criticised the statement 'trans women are women', which many pro-trans people would also take issue with. I'm not sure what your problem is. Is your aim for there to be no discussion of controversial topics whatsoever on the internet?

[@ts4366]

Neo-fascist comment. We must conform eh?!
