Tonight! New River Studios ra.co/events/2363464

The NX Records launch party is at New River Studios tonight! We'll have tapes! CG are doing two semi-improvised sets, but one of our number is ill so we're really winging it!

A Century of Sounds has launched today! An amazing collaborative project with @pittriversmuseum.bsky.social and @citiesandmemory.bsky.social Honoured to have contributed one of the 100 reimagined sounds and can’t wait for the launch event on Friday. Check it out citiesandmemory.com/century-soun...

I refuse to accept the labelling of science as ‘left-wing’. Not only because I think this is largely aimed at discrediting facts as opinions, but also -for any insider- it’s so untrue. The echelons of science are too traditional, hierarchical & club-based to qualify for any sort of progressive left.

super pleased to be invited to speak about the piece I made for this exciting project, and can’t wait to hear all the others!

In the Health Service Journal this week, Alex Bax, @pathwayuk.bsky.social's CEO, assesses whether the Government is on track to meet its manifesto pledge following the recent launch of the “National Plan to End Homelessness”. Read the full article here 👇 tinyurl.com/yd35fb4b

For the eternal optimists it’s the first day of summer tomorrow 🥳🌳

1 in 153 people in England are homeless. We’ve launched a new interactive map with esure, letting you explore the homelessness figures for your local area👇 Homelessness affects almost every part of the country. england.shelter.org.uk/what_we_do/u...

Stop pretending Jews are a monolithic group, and that people who object to *genocide* are racist. I've been on marches with my wife, participating in chants, marching with the sizeable Jewish bloc because my wife is Jewish.

Britain is like this because our national politics is a shrivelled husk of democracy: a country where the world’s most poisonous media outlets fill a great gaping void empty of actual politics with relentless fear, incitement and hatred.

Earlier this week, we gave important evidence on a Parliamentary Inquiry into black homelessness. We shared research from our 'My Colour Speaks Before Me' report, while Peer Researcher Uche shared her powerful lived experience. Our voices are clear: we need a fairer housing system.

Every literary festival or theatre should condemn this, but as Sonia says, they won’t. They will cowardly disguise themselves by saying it’s “politics” and that they aren’t “political”. The storming of the National Theatre of Palestine is a crime not only on Palestinians, but on Palestinian art.

Ahead of next week's Budget, the Green Party is calling for immediate cost of living measures to cut bills by hundreds of pounds, and for fair taxes on extreme wealth to raise over £30 billion a year. Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism. “I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.” zeteo.com/subscribe

I’ve seen on the media how pundits amusingly refer to Zack Polanski as if entirely propped up by social media & youngsters’ ‘vibes’ but to this middle aged women (who has no TikTok account) he seems the most serious political leader in sight talking about real issues with conviction and directness 🤷🏻‍♀️

this is a great reminder that ‘anyone can register with a GP surgery, and that proof of address or immigration status are not needed. It also highlights that people have a right to a free interpreter’

So many of us British Jews feel the same, thank you for your voice Zack

My excellent friend Viatrix and me are thrilled to be featured on this month’s Plastic Language w/ FIELDNOTES.. such an honour to be played amongst these wonderful sounds www.nts.live/shows/plasti...

Very excited about this show on Sunday. 'Maison Rose' from '77 is a real cult gem of course but she's still making vital music - 2022's 'Targala, la maison qui n'en est pas une' is delightful johnkoolrecords.bandcamp.com/album/targal...

One of the most important political messages on the internet.

Macabi Tel Aviv are now saying its too unsafe for them to go to Aston Villa so have cancelled their visit.. well done everyone for letting them play the victim www.maccabi-tlv.co.il/2025/10/%d7%...

oh Ed you schmuk

The delivery of 'Newcastle' here is brilliant bsky.app/profile/cedw...

I’m the newest (Jewish) Aston Villa fan

Joined today, following @lauradymphna.bsky.social's lead

Please don’t use my Jewish identity to try and shut down protests that are calling for the end of a genocidal war. This conflation is what fuels antisemitism, please stop

Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying, "It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza" "These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

Under the Concrete Gazebo this Sunday, 7th September 1-5pm at Waterbeach Barracks. A mix of group improvs open to all and performances including: Nye Jones Twenty-three hanging trees and Rachel Watkins Threshold entities Personal Reasons (that's me & @lauradymphna.bsky.social ) Free entry!

Cambridge-based duo Zenneroes (aka Elien De Schryver and Nye Jones) have their debut album of diaphanous ambient/improv up on the Process Theatre Bandcamp page processtheatre.bandcamp.com/music

This should be obvious to anyone not blinded by their hatred of Abbott and the Labour left. Meanwhile, the Forde report - commissioned by Labour's NEC - found that anti-black racism and Islamophobia were not taken as seriously as antisemitism within the Labour party, and it was never mentioned again

'The song ‘Holiday In Gaza’ (2012), is a tip of the hat to Dead Kennedys that also proved to be shockingly prescient. “It’s unbelievable because Trump has started talking about exactly that” - turning the territory into the “Riviera of the Middle East”. GrRzZz Interviewed buff.ly/pwtB7oC

‘If we could stop thinking of the brain like it’s a Rubik’s cube, then perhaps we would have more capacity to talk about what’s truly iconic about Gage: that he survived, both as a body and a person’ buff.ly/1gMuFXd

my new favourite band

The short documentary ‘Walls Cannot Keep Us from Flying’ (2021) captures skateboard culture in the West Bank, where the sport offers a fleeting sense of freedom to young Palestinians living under the constraints of Israeli occupation

First they came for the transes, and you said "Fuck the transes, they're weird"... Remember, until a few years ago it was almost unheard-of for a woman to be charged with procuring an abortion. Now they have "new national guidance" on how to hunt them down. www.theguardian.com/world/2022/j...
