Just rewatched Lord of the Rings. I'd forgotten that Sauron's seeing-stone is called Palantir. So, democracy-sceptic, demon-believing Peter Thiel names his company (and models its logo?) after a device that allows an all-seeing evil eye to "broadcast propaganda" and control what people...

Moving house is one of the most stressful events in a person’s life. Doing it when you’re autistic is a great laugh. All those routines that were sticky-taping your life together? Forget about them and build new ones. Until the next move.

This album has saved me a few times in recent weeks. Does what it says on the tin. #ambient #overwhelm #nevermovinghouseagain Phillip Wilkerson - Paz Infinita

🎵Goin’ on up to the spirit in the sky🎵

Moving house for the first time in 10 years. Been packing for nearly two weeks. I’m almost prepared to admit I have too many box sets and LP’s. Almost. Even the dog’s knackered.

“This is a little number I tossed off in the Caribbean.” 🎵Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong It's swell to have a stiffy It's divine to own a dick From the tiniest little tadger To the world's biggest prick🎵

Twenty years ago today, David Gilmour played the first of three shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, with a very special guest appearance for Comfortably Numb from David Bowie, in what sadly turned out to be Bowie's final ever appearance on a UK stage.

New BoC is fantastic. I mean it’s no Secret Treaties or Agents of Fortune but really liking the new direction.

This reads like a story arc from The Expanse or a William Gibson novel but it’s not sci-fi. Read and share widely.

1. Don’t compare yourself to others. If you’re not a sociopath you will always think yourself second best and everybody else is just faking it anyway. 2. Never, ever, bloody anything, ever.

Best song title.

I’m a sucker for anything related to the Franklin expedition. It’s a very good poem that mixes the historical with the metaphysical. Well done to the author.

“Pull my finger”

🧵 It’s good that we’re talking about books. Here’s a story… I’ve struggled with reading my whole life. I loved books but reading was such hard work. I would be halfway through a page then realise I had no idea what was going on. I would go back and read it again. Two pages later - same story. 1/8

Actually, Heart of Darkness is a novella. #actually

#np Another TB album I’ve not heard before. Five minutes in and it’s another winner. Multi-layered sequencers and melancholic synth pads. A neural spa retreat. Thom Brennan - Chemical Sunset

My current obsession is electronic/ambient composer Thom Brennan. I’ve listened to his album Argo in its entirety at least six times in recent days. So what? It’s 2.5hrs long, that’s what. It’s stunning. Every album I’ve heard in the last six months has been stellar. I’m still exploring.

Thanks to ASD, every artist I like turns into a special interest and I have to know everyfuckingthing about them, their side projects, their pets. Omitting the obvious like Rush and KC: Camel Ozric Tentacles Magma Voïvod Sylvian/Japan Klaus Schulze Philip Glass VdGG/Peter Hammill Cocteau Twins Eno

Sir Keir Starmer meeting MPs on Monday be all like:

Palantir provides data to ICE to target individuals for detention and deportation. That is only the beginning of private data being used against a population. If this bill goes through it will turn UK into a surveillance state. This needs to be more widely understood and challenged.

Robin’s book was a stepping stone as I trod my own journey of discovery over the last couple of years. Informative, empathetic and funny. If you suspect some neurospiciness in your makeup it will light your way and lighten your load.

I bloody love Darkthrone. Masters of the riff. New album out yesterday is forking great.
