Worth a read about private capital in UK education. Literally everything is for sale to foreign investors - we own nothing anymore while funding some of these things with public money. For any Reform reading, this is the exact opposite of what what ‘made Britain great’. apple.news/A8nfIVPZpQTC...

Ryan Wain is right BUT he simply doesn’t understand government. He’s living in fantasy land about transparency and integration. Before I go with this I want full and open transparency in government and politicians —— of course he could be advocating for Palantir. apple.news/AkHwWhi2iQeC...

In the last few days I’ve had dozens of plays of this track on Spotify… thanks. Mostly from the US and across 33 separate cities open.spotify.com/track/2e1VN5...

My favourite uke. Ovation.

Trumpton is a fictional town from a classic British children's TV series, but it's widely believed to be based on Plumpton, East Sussex, England, with its neighbouring villages Camberwick Green and Chigley inspired by Wivelsfield Green and Chailey, forming a triangular area in Sussex.

Just counted 6 older men in shorts and tshirts on the rail platform. It’s dark and cold and raining. They appear to be off to work. Wtf is going on? Standards are slipping.

Fallout season 2 is really good. s1 was also excellent,

Authorship has always been a contested fiction, but under automation it starts to look like a bad joke. The question is no longer “who made this?” so much as “what kind of system are we willing to live inside?” open.substack.com/pub/richardf...

He doesn’t see the problem with his platform carrying and openly distributing AI generated child porn. There’s no other arguement here. It’s that simple. If you support him you support that too. apple.news/A9sPChACmTTq...

I see Storm Gorretti has gone. So I guess we will be getting a hosepipe ban soon.

Tretchikoff me - this is the sort of thing I spend my morning time in bed doing these days. Amazing how age changes things.

In retrospect the Reet Petite video is really quite macabre. #totp

AliExpress has suggested in an email that this would be a top buy for me. Yes it is what it looks like

Was asked again why I still buy CD/Vinyl. Well I love the artefacts and rituals. This arrived today. Lovingly compiled and a great book with it.

This facetious and fatuous article by this unfunny journo is everything that is wrong with newspapers. Would he want people who operate cranes and machinery to be able to drink? What’s the difference? apple.news/A4su9apEtQU-...

Found my copy of this beauty from the seventies when I was a kid. What’s. A load of glorious preposterousness riding on the back of the Was Dog an English Astronaut craze? I’ve found it endlessly entertaining and even named one for my albums after it. See alt text for more

So cracking down on illegal sand smuggling will be hard.

Hard to believe we are running out of sand.

Global Eye is one of the best world news programmes bar none. Why have the BBC let home news become so bad?

Available on all streaming services; Richard F Adams FLOW Or don’t. It’s entirely discretionary, contingent upon your current cognitive bandwidth & existential disposition. I’ve reconciled myself to the inexorable mediocrity of outcomes. It is, emphatically, your prerogative. I remain indifference.

Not sure 100 Nights of Hero quite hit the heights. Maybe I’m not the audience. It old amazing though.

It’s just so achingly west coast. Can’t stop laughing.

100 Nights of Hero is a terrific film and looks great. The photography is very contemporary in terms of still photography. Head on flat shots abound, not so much recessive perspectival depth. Every scene could be a still.

The claim that neuroscientists have “little idea what art is” exposes a fault line running straight through contemporary aesthetics & cognitive science. … the central question stubbornly refuses to go away. What is art, and why does it exist at all? open.substack.com/pub/richardf...
