“Slip” by Autechre. From their 1994 album Amber. This main riff is a 29 beat cycle over a 4/4 beat. So the beat “slips” when the accent shifts and the melody seems like it never repeats. I plan to develop this more.

Zipcar is shutting down its UK operations, basically the only car club that worked in London. Massive kick to anyone who tries to live in capital without owning a car. Having been a customer for 17 years and used Zipvans to move house repeatedly, this is.... very bad! (Zipcar is owned by Avis)

Why is Labour restricting scrutiny on the Budget?
Laying a 'Tax Charge' motion exerts undue control over MPs' ability to amend & scrutinise the Budget. Tories started this tactic in 2018 but Labour has a massive majority; why continue a restrictive trend of discouraging debate?

💡 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering

@zackpolanski.bsky.social wants to introduce a wealth tax of 1% on assets of over £10m & 2% on assets over £1bn & if the super rich want to leave the UK because they are being taxed a tiny amount more then we should wave them goodbye
Thatcherite John Redwood says 1% isn't a tiny amount.

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity.
They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.

From the latest travel in London report. When nearly 90% of journeys in Inner London boroughs are walking, cycling or public transport why do we allocate so much space for the movement and storage of motor vehicles?

I am thankful for his family, friends, fellow artists and coworkers who have shared his journey with him. To all his fans around the world, please know that your support was his strength throughout his whole career … Jimmy, my darling, may you rest in peace.
