- how can we get the plebs onside with this tone - potholes seb. the answer's always potholes

I actually got raptured, but I came back because they didn't have pakora.

huh, didn't know this existed. whin (me and @mjohnhenry.bsky.social) live at cumbernauld arts a few years ago doing In a Field off Dawn Firth. video by @manicpopthrlls.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtFx...

oh *that’s* what the trussite bit means? lmao

wow it’s almost like the labour right aren’t to be trusted

I'm available for private lessons (on zoom) on Max & Ableton, in areas such as: - composing electronic music - sound design & synthesis - algorithmic music and weird shit I'm a Senior Lecturer in Music & Sound Design at LSBU with 10+ years experience teaching at Goldsmiths, Brunel & Newcastle unis

the absolute maddest, reddest people in scotland are in that purple bit

Every year we spend over £500 million to maintain a billionaire king while services are cut and those most in need lose support. The monarchy is outdated, undemocratic and unjustifiable. It's no surprise polls consistently show a majority in Scotland would #AbolishTheMonarchy.

Labour senior leader : Did you brief those quotes about Burnham? Labour Source : Sure did boss, real fuckin impenetrable and unfunny like you asked.

Today the Labour government is challenging the High Court ruling allowing Palestine Action's co-founder Huda Ammori to seek a judicial review of the group's ban as a 'terror organisation'. Don't believe for a second that a new Home Secretary means a change of direction www.itv.com/watch/news/g...

Hi friends, I'm raising money for the Hackney Night Shelter in London by taking in part in a sleep out next month: www.justgiving.com/page/matt-as... Money and/or prayers for a balmy October gratefully received.

Really good article. “There are autisms, rather than just autism.” While it can be challenging, let’s try and celebrate diversity; let’s face it: it’s the thing that not only makes human culture fertile but is the root of all life on earth.

a *senior* labour source. like, ... , an *adult*

been watching that black rabbit show and it’s as unlikeable as people are saying in part because the era of nyc culture it’s alluding to is just generally kind of gross and annoying

Watch as four critically endangered wildcat kittens are caught on camera for the first time 👇

It’s worth sitting for a minute with the knowledge that Morgan McSweeney received three quarters of a million pounds to subvert democracy and it’s only a scandal because he didn’t fill in the forms correctly.

if this is the level of seriousness with which you treat what’s maybe the most important music of the last half century then I’m frankly disinclined to trust the rest of your research

The Russians have been banned since they invaded Ukraine

music is social so be social. music is good and you should feel good.

there’s no reason why my pretty piano drones and moans shouldn’t align with a black metal act if we are socially cohesive first and foremost. the hangs amongst musicians at the show can often outweigh the show itself, they lead to genuine friendships. the hang is the water cooler at our office.

someone making a sound that’s seemingly the polar opposite of yours can still fucking rip and can actually be aligned with your sound beyond simple one worded genre connotations.

finding your subcultural/genre niche and developing it further is important no doubt, but it’s no excuse to put up the blinders to those around you doing something else, especially if you simply get along and can talk to these people in other scenes.

I am far more interested in associating myself with artists whom I feel a spiritual connection with, whether it be over politics, video games, a love of food, etc, versus simply a sonic similarity that makes us a match for sharing a bill, being on the same collaboration or label, etc.

whatever happens, to whoever, they’re going to say it was leftists or antifa. so, you know.

that’s spain and italy now?

<send in the clowns voice> 🎵

why would you write on a bullet *casing*. it’s going to fall down out of your gun next to you

I think the thing people miss with trump is that not only is it possible to be extremely stupid and a devious, evil prick at the same time, it’s actually quite an effective combination

Every day, as a leftist on Long Island, I bite my tongue. Around the people who make my children's prescriptions. Around the people who control whether I can continue to live in my apartment. Around my employers. That's where free speech is contested and conservatives like it that way. They're liars

I suppose one big difference between this crew and historical US admins is that historical admins would lie sparingly and carefully and this lot lie reflexively and blatantly

my goodness what a life, and what a player.

gonna start my own label and not accept my own demos

This is such horrendous science communication from the Guardian I almost don’t know where to start. The appropriate takeaway from this is that the SRY gene is a poor proxy variable in isolation. It isn’t that there were 50-60 people who were secretly “biologically male”

god bless all of you who are actually able to talk about these

Very very funny that for the right-wing press the subterfuge to get Corbyn can just instantly mutate from "all jolly good japes" to a sinister and dishonest "ruthless, well-resourced attack machine" whenever they feel like it

Happy 34th to Nirvana's Nevermind. Really dig this floating baby-in-a-bottle promo merch from DGC.

🚨New poll for @scotnational.bsky.social has the @scottishgreens.org in SECOND place! Our message is cutting through. Scotland can be a fairer, greener place if we fix the systems rigged by the super-rich. Join our movement to help turn record polls into real votes! 👉 greens.scot/join

a reminder that streeting’s recent teary-eyed walkbacks on waiting lists for trans healthcare are simple manoeuvring and nothing more. don’t trust him any further than you could spit him

this one has a headphone jumpscare at about 4.00 when martin’s eldest comes to tell him about lego. taken my cans off and looked all around me at least twice at that whin.bandcamp.com/track/dunbet...

some fun responses to this. I had a pal who pulled her car over on the motorway cos the jungle track she was listening to had a siren on it

the best kind of music is when you’re not sure if something’s on the record or not

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Update: Global Sumud Flotilla was attacked starting around midnight as it sailed south of Crete early Wednesday morning, with initial reports of 15 drones above Alma. At least 8 attacks and 6 explosions have been reported. An unidentified chemical device was poured onto Yulara via a capsule that...

the sturgeon allegations were much less serious and much less well-founded

The Impossipod is back for M:I- FALLOUT, a highly-regarded entry that, frankly, @simonxix.com & @jimgr.bsky.social are a bit meh about. They discuss Henry Cavill & his $3M moustache, a shift towards messianic tropes, & the script’s misunderstanding of political anarchism. - buff.ly/pq8UlGj #filmsky
