And we're live for everyone, folks: A songwriter showdown... but also a longer discussion of how niche genres are approached, set between Boards of Canada and The Avalanches. This one is a long one, but one of my best scripts in a while - enjoy! youtu.be/SQ3RS8HlFsY

"Drake is 40" "no, 40 is Drake's producer" "Noah Shebib? he's 43!" "no, he's 40" "well Drake is 40 too" "neither of them is 42!"

Ofcom published a report today that pretty much declares the Online Safety Act a complete failure

It is absolutely ridiculous how much time (and therefore money) the NHS and govt are spending on clamping down on trans people’s rights, instead of providing healthcare. If a man wants to assault someone he does not need to pretend to be a trans woman. He’ll just ignore the fucking sign & walk in.

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

Hey I think it should be said with the next round of "Discord age verification" scares and panic coming around Do NOT drop everything and run to a website you heard about 30 min ago and had not looked into at all The amount of vibe coded slop preying upon people's worry is alarming

Discord finally confirmed for real when they're rolling out age verification service-wide (tomorrow) and I've not seen a single person make a peep about it

Plaid Cymru have the power, and the mandate, to force the the NHS in Wales to reverse its suspension of gender affirming surgeries on the Welsh Gender Service. How they act now is a defining moment for trans people in Wales, as well as for the party. Read More 👇 owenexiehurcum.com/2026/08/30/d...

everyone will remember Tim Curry for Rocky Horror, Clue, Muppet Treasure Island, etc., but we can't forget his most important cultural contribution

Logged on to make a post about Dolly Parton, only to see that we lost Tim Curry too. Always strive to do and be the most good that you can, and give your full self to every artistic pursuit in your life no matter how odd or offbeat, that's all I have to say. I'm going back to bed man, this sucks.

Amon Tobin - Odds & Ends (Reviews of Side Projects That Aren't Side Projects) youtu.be/ih-JNptRS-U

Holy shit The Guardian ran that? That's a site I've used as a reliable source to disprove fake news stories. And they just ran with a fake story about a construction project being relocated for the sake of some Harry Potter bullshit? I fucking repeat: what the entire fuck is wrong with the UK?
