A patriot, ladies and gentlemen. 🇬🇧

I'm not afraid that AI can do my job, I'm afraid of the world where we agree that the pisspoor approximation of my job it ~can~ do is all we need

The Swiss got rock’n’roll after it had been filtered through the rest of Europe so its version was brilliant, exaggerated and wrong. A sincere pastiche of the original.

Well, this sounds splendid.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

Today has been a massive victory for anti-migrant voices. Not only is Labour doing 90% of what they want, but they're also making it much easier for them to get the remaining 10% later

Finally a leader of a political party speaking with the passion and anger this disgusting act by Labour of attacking the most vulnerable deserves. Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social for speaking on behalf of so many who before didn't have a voice 💚🙌

Carne with garlic butter and parmesan crust at Fizz 'N' Flour last night. Lovely pizzas, cheery service but deathly quiet - hopefully just a consequence of the weather.

NEW REVIEW... After finding a much-hyped Chinese opening in #Cardiff pretty underwhelming, would the unheralded BBQ Xiang be any better? www.theplatelickedclean.co.uk/bbq-xiang-ca...

It’s difficult to underestimate the extra burden that this is placing on our public libraries. For example, on a daily basis library workers are now filling the in-person/human service gap that billion euro banking institutions have abdicated from to maximise their profit margins.

It's telling that "engage fully with AI" is always taken to mean "embrace it unquestioningly" and not "examine it critically". As always in these pieces the good of AI is simply assumed.

Good God, someone's just uploaded to YouTube a nearly 2-hour long video of one of the original Vic Reeves Big Night Out live shows at the Albany Empire from 1989. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKPU...

This is as amazing as it is unexpected.

Gig review for Buzz: Marissa Nadler/Wyldest, Sun 2nd Nov, Clwb Ifor Bach silentwordsspeakloudest.blogspot.com/2025/11/blac...

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Big thanks to Glenn Edwards and the Eye International Photography Festival for bringing such a great range of speakers to Aberystwyth last month - and to Buzz for publishing my long-read report on a stimulating weekend. www.buzzmag.co.uk/eye-internat...

The gutting of Teen Vogue, a publication which dared to treat its readers seriously and with respect, is an especially dispiriting day in old media's long, self-destructive forced march to nowhere

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.

Also reminded today of this wistful seagull portrait I got back in October 2023. #Photography #BlackandWhite #Birds

Thank you Marissa Nadler and Clwb. A sublime Sunday evening comedown.

Design adorning the spoils of tonight's gig. 👍

Cripes @luketurner.bsky.social, that was utterly rancid from us but thoroughly deserved for you. Don't suppose I'm the first to note a distinct similarity between you and Max Kilman?

Album review for Buzz: Tortoise - Touch silentwordsspeakloudest.blogspot.com/2025/10/tang...

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

Ming the Merciless has let himself go. (Rare photo of Tim Harrington on stage tonight at Clwb. LSF reliably great.)

Highlights of today's trip to Tate Modern: Naufus Ramirez-Figueroa, Josef Koudelka, Cildo Meireles, Bruce Conner.
