Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The candid, unguarded footage of RZA, naked from the waist up, quoting entire kung fu movies on his way to scale the Pyramids while over-indulging a naïve self-insert chancer, may be the quintessential document of a brilliant, weird, flawed man who has always been a touch more outsider than insider.

Hilarious watching the number of times Terry Matalas tries to promote VisionQuest before giving up because these two idiots immediately and unfailingly change the subject.

yeah that's the stuff

My concern with this is we'll end up recreating the failed supply-side approach to disinformation while ignoring the far more significant demand side. First is recognising the relationship between institutions, publics, and counterpublics have changed significantly.

The first three episodes of WandaVision are up on YouTube, so I'm prepping for VisionQuest with a rewatch. Just saw the Family Ties/Roseanne episode, which is up there at the pinnacle of what television can accomplish, writers so in my head and breaking my heart that it feels like a magic trick.

Gafacci's recent streak is returning banger after banger. Go Ghana! 🇬🇭 @selvageflame.bsky.social - relevant to your interests.

You're a child. You're cooking, you're making a snack. The salt mill falls from the counter and hits the floor. You know where this is going, if a tree falls in the forest etc. I feel as though you have to become a philosopher of evil as a parent in order to stay detached and curious.

It's Bandcamp Friday! Rather than touting my wares (Googleable) here's four I've enjoyed recently: selvageflame.bandcamp.com/album/archli... loulayorke.bandcamp.com/album/starli... partsandlabor.bandcamp.com/album/set-of... guttersnipe.bandcamp.com/album/extinc... Have a listen, buy and share.

I'm really excited to announce my new album . ‘En de stilstaande tijd voor (elektro-)akoestisch ensemble’ with Anne La Berge, Dario Calderone & Gareth Davis. The first album using my own name contemporaryseries.bandcamp.com/album/en-de-stilstaande-tijd-voor-elektro-akoestisch-ensemble

coining it: 'aspirational evil' I think he's conceptualising the competence of evil here in terms of the capability to inflict impact on the world, which is one of the most impoverished definitions of competence I've ever encountered. If you don't care about law and regulation then this is easy.

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

Now here's a review I've never seen before - published in Bad Alchemy, reviewing 'egregore', an album by my duo with @domlash.bsky.social (Intonema, 2017). intonema.bandcamp.com/album/egregore www.badalchemy.de/download/bad...

BIG thx to @normanrecords.com for making @ghostdubs.bsky.social 'Oblique' their 'New album of the day' today...! ❤️ www.normanrecords.com/features/bes...

today's secondhand haul

This thing I made two years ago continues to hold up pretty well

Fabulous find in Oxfam Park Street yesterday. Saw them way back in the day at the Freebutt - @clivehenry.bsky.social, were you on the bill? Trying to remember why I was there, I have a fake memory of playing but maybe I was just driving? NP | N - nisennenmondai

hei! after a thousand of setbacks (I mean, these days and age) I finally managed to release new music. hope you're all well. love. lesondouble.bandcamp.com/album/wtii

Mind blown. Just discovered that Tim Simenon worked uncredited on Adamski's 'Killer' and an early version of Seal's 'Crazy'. 'Into the Dragon' was the first record I ever owned. 'Killer' was the first single, and 'Seal' the first album, that I bought with my own money - because I loved 'Crazy'. WTF

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Where "WHSMITH" foreshadows the future political opinions of one member of The Smiths, singular: "What the Heck, Smith"

Enjoyed the bizarre sensory stuff at the "Anish Kapoor: Not a Painter" exhibition at the Hayward, even if I'm firmly on Semple's side. He should be making mirror mazes rather than exhibiting in galleries though.

Reckon I've listened to the same loop on my Buddha Machine for thirty hours this week and now I hear it all the time.

It has been a, uh, difficult week but I have not laughed louder and harder at something in a very long time than at this.

Nice one UN

The government must know full well that many people have neither the space nor the money to store extra food in their homes. It is individuating responsibility for a collective problem. As usual, it is the poorest and most excluded who will suffer from it. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
