A quick round-up of things that I've been up to: got a new (refurbished) Google Pixel 8 Pro, got a new (old) didjeridoo, went to see System 7 (Hillage & Giraudy) twice in one week, and also caught The Orb and The Ozric Tentacles at the second System 7 gig. Bloody awesome. Learning Ableton Live 12!

I love America. I have spent many months travelling across the country over the years. Now, though, I worry. I want to visit again, but not while the current government is in power. #Canada is looking much more appealing. I will visit the USA again before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Amid global chaos, at least we can rely on two certainties: 1) The sun will rise, and 2) someone, somewhere is arguing about pineapple on pizza. Chin up! The world’s not ending, it’s just auditioning for a dark comedy. Stick around, the plot twist might be hope.

It’s such a Tory move to look at Trump’s deportation force - denounced for abuse, neglect, and the racial profiling of anyone not the right shade of pink or beige - and say, “Oh, yes, that’ll do us nicely.”

This is spot on. The only I would add is that this spiral of madness is being turbocharged by a national media that is also increasingly unhinged and vastly exaggerates the public demand for these policies. Westminster is trapped in its own reactionary bubble.
British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies.
