I'm sure I'll watch 'The Odyssey', but to be honest I'm fed up with Hollywood's vision of classics. The crappy over the top music is enough to make you weep. Can't someone make a movie about classical antiquity, with music from the period, and no Hollywood stars with strong jawlines?

This whole Trump/Fifa/Balogun story show's something more important, that is, Balogun isn't a sporting character who respects fair play. If he had any honor, he'd refuse to play saying that all footballers should respect the rules of the game. Otherwise, what's the point of having rules?

Thank you Zaph! 🙏

I'm not sure if I'm being a Mr Grumpy or something, but is Taylor Swifts wedding really so important?

I'm not sure if I posted this already, but if not it's well worthwhile reading. A scientist that preaches the message of peace and restraint is a scientist worth listening to. By the way, the title is a bit bleak, but the article, not. 😉 www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Exactly when we miss the great Christopher Hitchens the most.

Let's stop the monsters taking over, all very worrying. See this too: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Ah, a bit of 1970(s) to make your day: youtu.be/SozZKilwtPM?...

Seems to me that AI already understands (if you call it that), that humans are basically stupid. Why would you build something that destroys you, when you have the choice to not build it? bbc.com/reel/video/p...

And we're off. Looks like Andy Burnham is maybe going to be less different that many had hoped. I'm not sure #Labour is going to survive if it can't take a radical turn Left and clean up its act (inc. dropping the Palestine Act..n case 😉).

"Can Smart phones get smarter?". I think they've missed the point. Isn't it, "Can people get any dumber?". 😉

Enjoying coffee and the cooler air, before it heats up, with this splendid bit of music. #nowspinning

Well, the #BBC should do a little of editing, this phrase doesn't make sense.

In total shock today. I just discovered that someone bought (on my joehigham.bandcamp.com) my whole catalogue, if you can call it that - meaning everything I put on there. 😵‍💫

I suspect SUV drivers have little regard www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

We have a problem (again) in Brussels, Belgium. They've suddenly started appearing again since the EU tried to appease Trump, to get round the tariffs.

Having such a blast with Xaoc Drezno, now it's time to buy a second module from the Leibniz subsystem. Jena is a configurable bit mapper with many built-in patterns. Xaoc calls it a binary transfunctioner, but that sounds like "Marketingsprech" as we call it in Germany #xaoc #eurorack

Great music of the day: Miles Davis, "Bitches Brew" live 1969. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE_D...

Wish I hadn't signed up for Apple's new six-point verification system. The first five were difficult enough but finding a cup of mare's sweat at five in the morning was no fun.

One of the points I made is that Reform claims to be the party of the "man and woman in the street". But in reality, it is run by millionaires on behalf of billionaires.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

This is Fabulous!!

Hello! I come to you with *another* website, and this was quite an ambitious one. I've built a DIY music sharing and review site called _nsigned. Basically anyone can submit Bandcamp releases for review, and anyone else can review them! There's already a few reviews up! nsigned.com #diysky

What ever happens, we must stop big and bigger cars getting into Europe. People just aren't aware of how they're falling for stupid marketing ploys. Stopping them now is so important for our health and roads. Once they're here, it will be difficult to go back. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A quick #politics alert 😉. Anyhow, I'm so glad to see @doubledown.news has finally started producing a proper news and current events program. It's well worthwhile watching as an alternative view of the news (and much more). Why not try it? youtu.be/1kI9plI4l_Y?...
