Hello, my pretties...

‘If you can get people to accept the computer as a rapper, you are one step closer to getting them to accept it as judge, jury, and executioner.’ www.hearingthings.co/ai-album-cov...

At times like this, the mask really comes off the British media. There is no pretence - at all - about their impartiality or objectivity towards the Green Party. It is a blatant naked partisan cross-media assault against the Greens.

Organizing the next DAAM compilation. DL, possibly tape or CD. Hoping artists will donate a track - especially keen to hear from people who like what we are up to and have their own fanbase already, so we can maybe raise the label profile a bit... any one game? #experimental #avantgarde #music

‘The fraternity house has always been invisibly taken into seats of power and now it is on the loose. It is down to the decent men in our communities, in our universities and in positions of influence to step up and insist that this is not acceptable.’ www.thenerve.news/p/deborah-fr...

There was a time when Steven Pinker was the media's favourite scientist. Then came the debunking of his field of study, a flirtation with “race science”, and links to Epstein Journalist and cultural critic @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social dissects what went wrong 🔗👇

So the allegation of plagiarism in his PhD was investigated and dismissed. It turns out he did run all those marathons. So tell me, precisely, all you online sleuths — what exactly did Jason Arday do wrong? (Apart from being the wrong class and colour of course)

Why did the British government suppress a report warning that ecosystem collapse must now be treated as a core national security threat? That’s what Caroline Lucas explores in a column for the Nerve and in her new podcast When Nature Becomes A Security Threat, from The Rest is Politics.

Really glad to see this has been getting a little more love recently. It's like a whose-who of genuinely inventive contemporary composers and experimentalists you don't know but probably should: difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/i-only...

You're not supposed to admit you're struggling. But we r - and I know for a fact we're not alone. The grassroots is dying - it needs U to keep it alive. Buy something from a small label/press. Tell ppl about it who don't often support such things. Explain to them why it's so important. PLS SHARE.

Busy admin day today - just updated the store! We've got cool prints, magazines, tapes, shoes, mugs... Why not pick up a little something? www.artisstillhonest.com/store
