wish i could spend today driving round saddleworth moor in a beat up old vw golf blasting the stone roses at unfathomable volume. rip mani

Santa and his “naughty list” is an excellent way to introduce your kids to surveillance capitalism

Heard “Santa Baby” for the first time this year which means I’ll probably be having nightmares about The Santa Baby again tonight :/

Michael Mann's "Heat 2" novel is way, way better than it needs to be

I can't be the only one who expected "The Smashing Machine" to be a film about a really decent machine.

Culinary tip from today: don't wash your pans properly. Let the flavour of the last dish seep into the next, nurturing a rich, deep umami. I just ate an egg that tasted of spaghetti bolognese.

If anyone’s interested in a little bespokestyle physical release of the EP I stuck out for digital ears earlier this year, its now available. 4 longish ramblings of hiss n treble based loosely around going watching Accrington Stanley play at Crewe.

3 year old son just saw a giant centipede catch a bat in a nature documentary. Him: “What’s it doing with it?” Me: “Well… it’s going to eat it…” Him: “But… but it doesn’t have a kitchen! Or a pan!“

Their 1973 album Artaud gets played a lot round here

British.

can forgive all the facial expressions because this is very beautiful indeed (the tone of the instrument and the background noise adding to it nicely)

These are such outstanding records. I bought the yellow one in HMV in Oldham circa 2000 because the NME recommended it and described it as "drum and bass without the drums". The guy working the counter in HMV was very enthusiastic that I was buying it, too, but I think I just grunted and ran away.

I understand that they gave somebody 150 million to be the new boss of CBS. I just want to say, if these people are ever looking to do more novel things with their money, for 150 million dollars I will write an album every day for a year. I'll do it, too. try me

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

The vast majority of the troubles encountered in Alien: Earth could be avoided with a robust digital ID system

Put on your best sweater get down to Leyton marsh with this on your headphones

This is just to say I have eaten the swans that were in the duck pond and which you were probably saving for the King Forgive me they were delicious so white and so necky

3D depiction of rainfall distribution across Great Britain. England is a very dry place: London gets as much rain as Jerusalem. With climate change, the south will need to prepare for even more acute water shortages.

If Labour have a shred of common sense left they’ll boot Starmer and replace him with the sheep from Alien: Earth

Yet again the Aldi "Foodie Market" range raises more questions than it answers. Is this what constitutes a "foodie", nut consumption? Why are Almonds but not Cashews a "natural" source of protein?
