As many qualms I might have with the importance of knowing who came before you instead of just doing your own thing, my hatred for anything #AI prevails. This is a very #goodread on the danger for all of us which a certain type of people carries within them.

between DAAM and MEANS there’s now 7 packages that haven’t survived the post system over the last few weeks. Each lost parcel costs me the item involved + the £ to resend it: for small fish like me eradicates all profit for the year so far.

I just want to say, unequivocally, that I was never a friend of Peter Mandelson, despite the WhatsApp messages to the contrary. We barely spoke during the recording of that trilogy of avant-electro albums he did for DAAM, and he only stayed at my house that 1 time coz his train home got cancelled.

It’s a bit dry, but this is arguably the most important thing that humans can do right now to avoid our planets demise (short of abolishing capitalism, which isn’t a realistic goal in the near/mid future):

Just played the most awkward gig of my life. My set was 'fine', but tensions between the organizers devolved into borderline cruelty.
Honestly, with all that's going on in the world - if you can't be nice to people around you, just be quiet and go home. No need to publicly admonish people.
