Why is it called parallel parking it’s more like series

say what you like, only one of these Allosaur heads looks like a penis

Back once again for the renegade master D4 damager, power to the people

Anyway we’ve been having a clear out and I wanted to post these old school dinos I had on a poster when I was a kid (the poster is basically coming apart so is going). Look at those tail dragging sauropods and upright duckbills. Look at that T Rex. Just look at it. #paleontology #paleoart #paleosky

so yeah it is the final @nightshiftmag.bsky.social issue of the year and we are in it not once but twice! One of the tracks of the year and a rather lovely live review. Read it all here at nightshiftmag.co.uk/2025/dec.pdf xxx MOP

In Brum waiting for Cabaret Voltaire. I’m up at 6 tomorrow. YOLO I guess

Gonna stop the boats by turning the place into such a shithole no one wants to come. Great job patriots

Top 5 film genres: - People being violent in a really cool way but the moral is somehow that violence is bad - pew pew pew - low stakes eye candy - I came here to watch some mindless entertainment but have been bait-and-switched into watching an actual good film - CGI dinosaurs

The remaining RAVE TAPES are now available physically and digitally on Bandcamp. DL includes bonus tracks Torment Nexus and a demo of NEW TRACK The Mountain And The Snow. Once they're gone they're gone. Link in bio #oxfordelectronicmusic #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene #cassetteculture #ravetape

Uh-oh

Tax us you cowards

Most Labour members make an informal trade-off: we accept that the party leader is well to the right of the members, in exchange for competent leadership and actually winning. If I wanted weak leadership and no plan I could have done that myself.

Come for me now, sweet basilisk Reduce me to a floppy disk For all the tortures you devise Are merciful compared with this

ANNOUNCEMENT The Xmas Rave Tape is here! Live mix of MOP tracks! - Play it on the cassette player in your car* as you drive around the M25 following directions from a phone number you got off a dodgy looking flyer in Luton. #oxfordelectronicmusic #liveelectronicmusic #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene

FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF www.theguardian.com/education/20...

What if I read Infinite Jest on a Kobo and told people it was @chucktingle.bsky.social . What then

Plus ça change

You may be #halloween but are you as Halloween as a dinosaur skellington pumpkin witch? Thought not. #dinosaur #skeleton #pumpkin #witch

This is a lot tamer than I was led to expect from Hook Jaw

At this stage I feel we can all get on board with this program. Void for 2028 (or 2027 if you are, as I am, in the UK).

Super happy with this amazing review from @electronicsound.bsky.social

SYSTEMS CHECK In a week we are supporting The Utopia Strong and Andrew Liledat the Little Bully for @divineschism.bsky.social good if you could be there #liveelectronicmusic #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene #critterandguitari #lzxvidiot #korgms20 #abletonlive

So DinoSky can someone help me I have questions about Azhdarchids. I've read for example this markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2018/05/why-... and it seems pretty clear they could fly - why woudl they need such radically lightened bones if they couldn't? etc

So yeah the “more to come”. We are super happy with this review from Oxfordshire Music Scene it’s all there. Dystopian disco, eroded acid lines, club ready body blows, “a minimal, industrial slab of post-capitalist catharsis”. It’s like they get us #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene

If you grew up male, but always had a different fashion sense and got along better with female family members, and had a non specific yearning in the back of your head, you really need to hear this: one week left to enroll in extended updates for Windows 10

morning

I can't emphasize enough how much this speech is just the monologue @kierongillen.bsky.social wrote for the titular character in 2010's DARK AVENGERS: ARES, which is supposed to be a joke

The One Who Take A Large Fee To Appear At The Omelas Comedy Festival. 'So what's the deal with the kid in the cellar? An I right or am I right? '

"The erotic, S&M infused ‘Harder, Faster’ gets the blood pumping, and the nether regions tingling.... dragging us deep into Clive Barker territory." apparently, if you were wondering what our remix sounds like. Launch at the Bully this Thursday! louderthanwar.com/octavia-freu...

In other news I have been messing around with my new #ericasynths #Perkons and a TD-3 resulting in this video of a track which will in no sense be ready for this gig and probably won’t even be in this form when it’s done.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Tag yourself if you got raptured

Verdict in full on the look and feel of iOS 26: Nope.

EXCITING GIG ANNOUNCEMENT later today

Unpopular* opinion. Salted caramel is fucking bullshit. The contamination of otherwise decent desserts with salted caramel is a fucking plague on our times. It can get right in the bin. *OR IS IT

mfer is literally named "rob tombs", did they summon the spirit of the british museum into an op ed writer

Jump cut to Keir Starmer spending the entirety of November in a giant foam poppy costume, smashing over press conference podiums like Mister Blobby, and getting called a communist for wearing red.

A reminder: You can turn off autoplay on videos in your settings here.

I feel I'm probably referring to Keir Starmer as Oswald Muesli from now on. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Upcoming radio play #2 we are on @getradiouk.bsky.social melting pot tonight. They will play some tracks. We did an interview. Tbh I’m a bit twatted right now so I can’t remember what we said. I hope it went well. Tune in at 9 #oxfordelectronicmusic #oxfordmusic #oxfordmusicscene

The headline vs the actual quote in small print at the v end. FFS.

TIL that Jair Bolsonaro is followed around by a guerilla trumpeter who plays anti-fascist anthems

Suggestion: @kpopdemonhunters.bsky.social KPop Demon Hunters live show using ABBA Voyage tech.

The corny gimmicky marketer demon inside of me is just a tad disappointed that Alison Goldfrapp has never done a release promo where you can buy a yellow-dyed glitter-filled Goldfrappé at a coffee shop chain. It's RIGHT THERE.
