It's a miserable Blue Monday. We're months from another holiday, it's freezing outside, and Trump's gurning mug's all over the news.
Need cheering up? Look no further. Happy #BlueMonday, Bluesky!

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

No mystery. It's a tray of grilled chicken. Not sure why it was hurtling through space though.

Keep fighting to stop corporations gutting the public domain and don't accept the ever-encroaching 'info land grab' as a fait accompli. A good time to rekindle @lessig.bsky.social's Free Culture movement for a new generation unaware of the battles of the noughties?

SgtPepper montage 10 years project is go.
See the link to find out about the book, exhibition, auction and the charity.
Please consider backing the book. If it doesn't get funded, it doesn't get made and you don't pay anything. If it does, you get a fantastic book!

Great to see a new indie crossword mag. Excellent selection of creative cryptics from the likes of @amoebacrosswords.bsky.social, @skirwingle.bsky.social, @archelina.bsky.social, @guineverecryptic.bsky.social and more. Issue 1 saw me through a brief hospital stay this week & I still have more to do.
If you've already got a copy of Issue 1 of Unch, now is a good time to sign up for updates so you are ready to pre-order Issue 2.
If you haven't got a copy of Issue 1 of Unch yet, now is a good time to buy one before we completely run out.
Either way, the place to do that is:

Recuperating from an op and spinning Soft Cell's newly recorded, excellent cover version of Suicide's "Ghost Rider", featuring J.G. "Foetus" Thirlwell, which landed on my doorstep today. A fitting epitaph for Dave Ball (RIP).

R.I.P. Dave Ball. Great loss to electronic music. His autobiography Electronic Boy is also well worth a read - erudite, forthright and witty.

New HAAi album Humanise is excellent. Balances kooky electronica and banging techno at just the right level, with more distinct and emotional vocals than her last LP. Capsule review: blissfully wistful/wistfully blissful. And it's on @muterecords.bsky.social, indisputably the best label there is. 🙂

The 2003 E4 prank show Little Friends was well funny but got pulled because of the sweary kids and never released on DVD. Anyone know who produced it so I can beg them to shove it up online somewhere anonymously?
