if you’re wondering what TV & radio would look like without the bbc if the right had its way, picture the state of our privatised rivers & seas, but instead it’s raw sewage pumped into your telly & speakers

Third pick! This talk from @rob-w.bsky.social is 🔥 I like to say accessibility is about abstracting the UI so people can use apps and consume info through multiple input and output methods. Here you’ll find tons of ways to use touch apps in a touch-free way!

Possibly the first occurrence of two tracks by one artist. I had previously thought Wolf Alice were not really for me, but I absolutely love these tracks - they have a 70s feel, and the power of the vocals is like nothing else.

Mom and dad and uncle bill don’t realise this is a great playlist: 60’s pop harmonies, Mauritian folk, and Italian ambient.
