We have created a device that shall be integral to your life, to the point where it will be hard to function in society without one; we would prefer these devices to break annually and for you to purchase a new one at full price. If you don't, that's called hoarding. They're a thousand dollars each.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Great stuff from Mark! If you want to read more about Palantir's aggressive expansion into the UK, it is something I have mapped quite extensively over time. 2022: bylinetimes.com/2022/06/30/h... 2023: www.bylinesupplement.com/p/the-defaul... 2025: bylinetimes.com/2025/04/25/p...

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview. He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997. Farage would have been about 33 at time. www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

There are people who claim to be gay #DoctorWho fans, but if they don't own one of these, how can we be sure?

Is Dream Phone Conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Dumb fucks say it's time to consider whether they're onto something x

While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

You're not asking trans people. You're asking all people. This affects us all. Anyone could be barred from services based on appearance. Since, surprisingly we all have a fecking appearance www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So proud of everyone's work on this, such a blast to have been a part of! Roll on next week's episode! youtu.be/_sWJpx2hwOc

In which I articulate the case that AGI is impossible and machines just plain cannot think. www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/on-inco...

"we need to tax wealth probably." "best i can do is milkshakes and robbing every refugee who arrives"

The whole point of this is the cruelty and sadism. Labour are pandering to their contemptuous vision of the British public as a rabble of mindless racists who want to relish the sight of poor, helpless, racialised people abused; who see those people as inhuman and want them treated as such.

Is it the words "THIS IS A FAKE" written in felt tip?

Really not sure how I feel about this tbh. Lorne Balfe has done great stuff, don't get me wrong, but are we still not over The Sea Devils' music being more weird than good? It's been 50 years now, that ship has sailed (pun not intended). Besides, I *like* Doctor Who music that's weird.

A short list of some of the cheeses I sell at work, ranked by how good a hypothetical album with the same name as that cheese is likely to be: 1. Black Dub Blue 2. MINGER 3. 1833 4. White Fox 5. Blue Murder 6. Eden Sunset 7. Mexicana 8. Rosary 9. Hawaiian 10. Green Thunder 11. Rockstar

Why does this actually kind of slap?!

bluesky are literally tech fash (rationalists, coiners, neoreactionaries), so when they say "toxicity" they mean hating on their fellow nazis

Been absolutely crunching the last two weeks and just finished the score for the first episode of @77yearsteam.bsky.social's Red Twilight series! Worn out but absolutely chuffed with the end results!

turns out Piss Christ really WAS just juvenile edgelordism

That Coca-Cola ad really can fuck right off in to the sea,

The part of Mamdani's speech that I found most exciting was "you dismantle the conditions that allowed him to gain power. That's how we stop Trump — and the next one." We need popular political figures to point out that Trump is not an anomaly and there are plenty more to take his place.

New post up for my Patrons, where I get my Dudley Simpson on!

And if you're not already fed up of me spamming Halloween content already, I have a whole playlist of Tangerine Dream and John Carpenter inspired spooky music youtube.com/playlist?lis...

As well as guesting on podcasts, this Hallowe'en I've also had a go at recreating Bernard Herrmann's theme to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. (Spent ages painstakingly adding film grain to the animation in Blender only for YouTube's compression to hide most of it, but still) youtu.be/BVRf_gZBE6k

Guest starred on @starpowerpod.bsky.social to talk with some lovely people about horror movies! Happy Hallowe'en! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj6j...

Many thanks to @beyondstars63.bsky.social and @georgelock13.bsky.social for their work on the audio editing/sound design, and to @jedwashere.bsky.social for a brilliant soundtrack, which will be available on his Bandcamp upon this audio's release! - Ewan #doctorwho #doctorwhofanaudio #partisan

We’re still crowdfunding and we’re only at 17% we’d love to make Season Two and we can’t do it without you. Please help us make this a reality!

I found a capybara pebble🤎

Brianna keeps getting written about, even if not especially her own mother, like she tragically killed herself rather than was murdered in a transphobic hate crime

“Health Secretary Wes Streeting tells Sky News “there is a growing sense of despair in this country””

youtu.be/tOT-UIf-ITM So proud to have been a part of this production, genuinely think the scores have been some of my best work so far! The trailer's debuting publicly at MCM this afternoon, but it's already live on @77yearsteam.bsky.social 's YouTube!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqbu... The full track you hear in the beginning of the Deltagarden video from me and @georgelock13.bsky.social. Is finally on YT with art by @lapisladzuli.bsky.social and @digitaddis.bsky.social. With graphics by @minipixelz.bsky.social. I hope you all enjoy!

Well sure the more left wing party won this time but imagine this hypothetical future scenario I made up and then you’ll see, YOU’LL ALL SEE!

Fascinated by the philosophical and theological implications of this

Oh yeah I hadn’t thought of that

“Stealing from the Louvre? Only a genius would even attempt such a thing.”

My arrangement of the Doctor Who theme for @beyondstars63.bsky.social 's Mystical Doctor is now up on YouTube and Bandcamp. Had a lot of fun with this one! There's tips of the hat to the theme to The Owl House, as well as Howard Shore & James Horner, if that's your kinda thing. youtu.be/WPY_4B8vmIk

that 20% of people are still saying they'd vote labour in the next election is amazing to me. what's the point

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

happy 10 year anniversary to one of the most prophetic tweets of all time @cavalorn.bsky.social

Every now and then I remember the press reaction to Elon Musk claiming we live in a simulation was broadly “Real Life Tony Stark Elon Musk Posits Mind-Blowing Thought Experiment 🤯” instead of “This Billionaire Nutjob Doesn’t Think Other People Are Real”

...and then you look at the choice of programmes on offer at 9pm, which may have something to do with it...

Watching The Prisoner. More creators should end their series with a finale that makes no sense and offers no answers and actually just makes things more confusing.

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film: 1) snow 2) bearded men concealing surprises 3) compulsory party games 4) introverts shunning group activities 5) digestive issues 6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms 7) knitwear

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall
