My granddad was a refugee, my wife, our close friends and those of our kids are either immigrants or the children of immigrants. Do ministers ever think about the message their rhetoric on "handouts" and "golden tickets" for migrants sends about whether this is a government for people like us?

Jeremy Warmsley released American Daydream on this day in 2022 (9 September 2022). You can replay the listening party (no_1202) here:

Not even 24 hours and 180,000 of you have now signed up. Billionaires already have three parties fighting for them. It’s time the rest of us had one. Join us: yourparty.uk

Subsequent to my earlier posts, I have now recorded a honky tonk classic called "No Crypto, No DMs, No Porn". This took me an hour, imagine what I could do with 90 minutes. soundcloud.com/john-allison...

When I have conversations about cancellation, I ask if Louis CK was treated unfairly- then I ask what was the name of the comedy duo he exposed himself to. They never can name them, which is when I point out it was those ladies who were actually canceled

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Every British person on the internet is complaining about you

Since announcing the formation of a new left party just three days ago, over 72,000 people have signed up to get involved. Let’s make it 100,000: actionnetwork.org/forms/join-t... 🔥 P.S. The ticker at the bottom of the page is broken — we’re fixing it!

“In response to receiving this document, I did what the FA clearly haven’t: I actually spoke to trans men and transmasculine people Every single one said they disagreed with the way the declaration was worded.” I wrote about the FA banning trans men on the sly 👇 transwrites.world/fa-trans-men/

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I bought one of Chloe's amazing pieces of art (a Beach Boys painting) and it's even better in reality than the images on her website. She's a great artist, and also a lovely person, and you should buy her stuff. (Happy for that to be used in any way you see fit, Chloe)

Descartes gave us all the tools we need to survive in an era of misinformation. Simply begin with the understanding that you are real but everything else is fairly likely to be the cruel games of a demon sent to torment you specifically.

And here's another, much more recent, from an album by Jeremy Warmsley, that actually tells the story of Brian. Kinda . . . www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAVi...

“Simultaneously gentle and devastating… the excellent production and @joedunthorne.bsky.social’s humour and self-deprecation lift this tale way above the ordinary…” Delighted to see this glowing review from @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social of our new podcast Half-Life! observer.co.uk/culture/podc...

In a special new episode of My Big Score, creator @gabrielurbina.com and composer Jeremy Warmsley join us to discuss the new Audible original series Hit Singles. We discuss composing for podcasts, DJing Christian raves and more - join us, won't you? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

The fantastic Chris Dole had me and series composer @jeremywarmsley.bsky.social on his podcast to talk about the music of Hit Singles! If you’ve heard the show, tune in to hear the story of how the score came together!

Finally! I ended the year with an xmas special, where I play a (fake) videogame adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Rather than play-through to the canonical ending, I kill all the ghosts, steal their time travelling powers & put them to a better use. youtu.be/YFQVTydmGQ8

Bluesky is good now!!!

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

Writing for you continues to be something that I really look forward to each time. It’s such a pleasure to be able to grow as a writer. I loved writing about female composers and highlighting their work: lwlies.com/articles/why...

Broke out the Prince/Seinfeld shirt for a very special dinner celebrating Elizabeth Sankey's Witches, which comes to Mubi globally next week. Gorgeous, urgent filmmaking about the gender health gap and the solidarity found between women when the system fails. Add to your watch list!

WITCHES by Elizabeth Sankey, showing now on @mubi.bsky.social is doc with something to say - about the psychosis that some people experience after giving birth - and does it with pop culture knowing and flair. I really enjoyed it. Use my link to get a month of MUBI for free mubi.com/en/t/web/glo...
