Something I wish more people would realize.

I know we're all really looking forward to giving the Hip Hop Lounge a great send-off for this year, Bekah aka Lady Paradox is going to be an amazing guest - and our first female headliner 🎤🩷 Hope you can make it #sheffield? It'll be something special ✨

LIBER ELEVEN is out tomorrow. Fifteen years after its original release, we’ve remastered the album and brought it back on coloured vinyl, CD and download. Eight tracks of dark electronics, pressure and repetition. Get ready. theblackdog.bandcamp.com/album/liber-...

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.

And we're live!

Most TV is just this now.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

Mischievous cold start from #Theskewer this evening, with the continuity announcer in on the act. Nice.

Sentences beginning “Guess what” are not questions, and thus don’t end with question marks. Ditto sentences beginning “I wonder.” #copyediting

So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.

Who doesn't love a bit of gossip?

My review of Evolution. The BBC series, not the concept. But to be fair, I'm a big fan of both. @chrisgpackham.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/c6c0...

“If you zoom in on the guitarist’s sunglasses you can see a crowd of less than a dozen people… the organizers appear to have recently deleted that image.” 😬 🕶️

Absolutely brutal thread. "A.i." in education is a fucking plague and anyone who pushes it on professors and students is betraying education itself. An act of abuse and betrayal to push this fucking cheating, lying, bullshit machine on anyone, ESPECIALLY in an educational environment.

But that is exactly how the suffragettes operated. With a nationwide organisation of sleeper cells of arsonists and bombers. I’m gratefully people have reached out and referenced my work today. I remain (I believe) the only academic expert on the terrorism of the suffragettes. Links below:

“Today I stand before you as a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s horrendous abuses,” said the commander-in-chief, who paused to collect himself as he stressed that he was only a young, innocent 41-year-old when Epstein began grooming him in Palm Beach, FL.

I love this car. 3:45m A14-A1-M18-M1 at 56-60mph, with the odd spurt here and there. 215k miles eaten so far and 76.4mpg average consumption for this trip. Outstanding.

Really well done.

Probably a good day to dig out some stuff from my notes I wanted to recommend: Dragon Trax have a new release out but don't overlook their previous from a few months back. A collaborative EP that balances electronics, live instruments and spoken word. dragontraxuk.bandcamp.com/album/soonda...

FYI, the single most unusual trade in Trump's portfolio disclosure was him buying $1M-$5M in DELL on February 10, a mere 11 trading days before it released a huge upside earnings surprise. Trump's currently at 150% profit on it. I guess he wanted to squeeze some more profit from it with this.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

If just 1 in 10 trans people in the UK think they will be safer, less isolated, and more secure having a key, then we will send out 1000s. Allies can help fund the meeting of the demand by clicking the "i dont need a key, but want to donate" button. www.essehouse.co.uk/pee-in-peace-program
