Once again I'm watching Traitors and yelling "THIS IS HOW FASCISM HAPPENS" at the screen.

LNER on a Wednesday: thirsty? We've got an offer on tinnies! Knock yourself out!

LNER on a Friday: if we catch you with a drink out of your bag we'll throw you off the train.

Done a lot of live music over the last few days. Can confirm that it still rules.

The contrast in reporting these stories is nuts, right? It's not just me?

peacefully protesting Gaza or climate change: fuck you, go to jail

threatening to burn down hotels because there might be a foreign person temporarily housed there: hey guys, we hear you 😔

it's morally bankrupt, but on the other hand it's also politically suicidal so needs must I guess

Most racist government of my lifetime. More racist than May & Patel. They were merely the warm-up routine
Govt minister Angela Eagle is asked what her message is to people on the streets shouting "get this scum off our streets" & holding banners saying 'protecting women & children is not far right, its just right'

In her reply Eagle says "we hear your worries"

Someone called country music “farm emo” and I’ll never be able to unsee that

Oh look, another government policy turns out to just be transphobia! Whoever would have guessed?
the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit

what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!

Everyone is celebrating him for his (obviously wonderful) songs but I am also celebrating him for releasing all his works into the public domain and insisting he retained no copyrights over any of it.

Tom Lehrer, who just died at age 97, outlived his New York Times obituary writer.

"If after hearing my songs just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend or perhaps to strike a loved one it will all have been worth the while."

RIP to a true musical hero.

Been playing with this pack this afternoon, it's a LOT of fun! Plenty of warbly and crunchy goodness.
I have a new sample pack out!
Roland Juno 6 synth arps recorded through three different tape machines for saturation, delay and sonic lushness totalling 280 WAVs. The lovely promo video explains it better than I can and link in my bio to check it out

It's going to be a great night of synth music and I hope to see you there!

If you're in desperate need of some cover art and unable to pay someone for it, close the Bluesky app, open your camera app and go outside to take some photos. They're guaranteed to be more interesting than 12-meter-trench-dug-into-the-depths-of-the-uncanny-valley AI-generated slop.

Let's debunk this whole "space is hard" mantra.

Looking at all NASA-led missions launched since 2000, only 4 out of ~60 missions experienced total failures.

Two of these were due to issues with the commercial launch vehicle, & two were spacecraft issues.

That is a *93% success rate.* (1/n)

It's #BandcampFriday! If you like your electronica melody-led, prog-rock-influenced, with (mostly) real drums and with a surprising amount of modal mixture, you know what to do!
