I don't have anything new to offer this bandcamp friday, but my mixtape Unbilever is still fairly recent and i'm still very happy with it! burntogre.bandcamp.com/album/unbile... For fans of KLF and the Berzerker. Warning: Implicit lyrics.

nnng going to need to rewatch all of these to see which one i need to replace with 'house' (1977)

This chart about data center construction blew my mind. Watch.

I've just backed @badsquiddogames.bsky.social's latest Kickstarter. I think this is such an incredible way of combining deep historical research, commemoration and play. Annie has unearthed great storys about a diverse cast of people who fought against fascism: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

the end goal of thatcherism?

Brits, please sign the petition to save BBC Radio 4 Extra. It costs tuppence ha'penny to run, is of national and cultural importance, and if the Beeb needs to save money, how about cutting down the endless layers of management? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

"Universities! The oil rigs you CAN play VHS movie rentals on!"

There's always a Simpsons reference.

I am, would you believe, shockingly busy at work at the moment

The coven as amplification. The coven as a community of intent. The coven as calling storm and drawing of the line. Witchcraft as a guerilla act. Witchcraft as resistance and communal defiance. But yes, explain to me again, how my witchery has no political role. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

I feel like there are parallels to climate change and veganism in AI individually you're tempted and encouraged to do something that you know is immoral, but you feel like you can't affect things much anyway so why not enjoy the personal benefits while you can, especially if it's become the norm

father Jack saying “that would be an ecumenical matter” except it’s just me repeating “that would be a breach of the 2010 equality act” from now until the end of time

If you want to know where we are with transphobia, this is a *Labour MP* whose mum was *in hospital for a medical emergency* and she's still more worried about a trans person *in a mixed-sex ward* than about, for example, her mum

OK, there is something very, very weird going on in the press right now. It certainly appears, from the outside, as if certain people are being very much protected in a way that was not afforded to certain other people! Let's start with the facts around Lola Salem... 🧵1/

Some saucy Sunday stats. #sciart #truthexplained

I would take more seriously the people promoting the idea of AI consciousness if they first materially grappled with the (much more obvious) consciousness of animals and how that affects our moral obligations to them.

I'm sorry, an AI guy telling you "The wool is being pulled over your eyes" while simultaneously owning a huge ass yarn factory will never not be funny. You're literally part of the problem my guy.

in retrospective, columbus is responsible, even if only indirectly, for a lot of pain and oppression but in his defense he probably had no idea rowling was such a bigot when he decided to make the movies

It’s good news for Labour: it shows they can spend years brutally mocking the wife in front of the lads down at the pub, and then effortlessly sweet-talk her back into sullen acceptance back at the flat.

Man I hate it when the left-leaning parties split their vote

Happy Birthday Joe Hill, folk poet, songwriter, union man. Born this day 1879 he would spend a life time fighting the oppressor. He was murdered by firing squad on Nov. 19, 1915. seditionist.uk/compendium/j...

"AI lets you focus on the higher level ideas!!" because we all grew up dreaming of becoming managers and CEOs we all know the real artists at the very highest level are the shareholders, famously full of amazing ideas

What did chris cornell say when he realised who the colourful scooter belonged to? "Jesus christ: Po's!"

Your city might not be as far gone as Birmingham, but no matter where you live, you're likely to find familiar many of the aspects of @sarahchaundler.bsky.social's brilliant and now publicly available short film "City of Cars." Stop what you're doing and watch this.

Psst. Skin Deep is 40% off for the next week. Sneeze, crawl on your belly, argue with severed heads, mishandle firearms, commit digital mischief. store.steampowered.com/app/301280/S...

The BBC does genuinely seem to be trying to save money where it can; they scrapped an undercover investigation where Amol Rajan went out clubbing with a view to exposing the easy access to poppers because they didn't want to pay for the Amol night rate

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

Plant-rich diets are the food system's electrification. Petrol cars only see 18-25% of their fuel energy get to the wheels; EVs 87-91%. Heat pumps are 2 or 3 times more efficient. Food has its own combustion engine: a chicken turns about 13% of its feed calories into food, worse than a petrol car.

We actually know, as in we have looked hard and researched this, that was the multiplier for government spending on defense is below 1. There is no War Keynesianism. But it is the only kind of spending that the British establishment will speak of in Keynesian terms.

Gorgeous visit to the sunny Lincolnshire coast yesterday to see the latest golf course given back to nature. Credit to @nationaltrust.org.uk for being brave. This is nature as human regen too – fantastic new green infrastructure for Mablethorpe and Sutton-on-Sea. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

HUGE UPDATE: we halted Amazon's panel at Climate Week. We shut it down so hard that every guest and every speaker had to leave the premises. No one was able to return. Their whole event lasted less time than their warehouse workers' pee break.

Happy Kicked In The Head By A Horse Day, to all who celebrate. It's the 7th anniversary of this absolute banger.

Yes, it's fascinating what Shabana Mahmood angrily finds "unacceptable" and what she doesn't

At some point we have to stop saying "What is going on at the BBC? What's happening? What on earth? I am so bewildered. This is very baffling" and accept what our eyes are telling us: that there is institutional capture of everyone's favourite maybe-once-but-no-longer liberal news outlet.

This evening at 10pm: THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL (1978) starring #GregoryPeck #LaurenceOlivier #JamesMason drama #TPTVsubtitles

They should make the David Walliams Alton Towers thing a Jacqueline Wilson world where you can experience being born into a dustbin, having an eating disorder and being groomed by a teacher

personally i would love it if people would treat A24 as just another greedy corrupt film studio, which they are, instead of this artsy bastion of creativity we don't need to be suspicious of just because they happened to release some movies you like. fucking miramax released some movies i like too!

BREAKING: a whistleblower has just quit company wikiHow, warning that within ten years, advanced wikiHow illustrations may kill us all

what do I know really though, I just want to live on a peaceful, habitable planet, on which all people are treated with dignity
