Anyway, interestingly, even if Lab and Greens split 50/50 (worst progressive outcome) they would have each had 12,172 votes. Even if every Tory had voted Reform (best Reform outcome) that’s 11,284. Reform were never going to win that seat.

This is your regular PSA that the left didn't "leave" Labour, we were actively thrown out.

Keir Starmer: “I know what, I’ll publish an absolutely graceless and petulant sour grapes communiqué, that’ll definitely persuade all those green voters back”

Absolutely shocking state of the Today programme this morning. Polanski grilled on racism (!) and continually shouted down by Nick Robinson when he tried to answer questions. Reform guy given the easiest of easy rides.

Labour right strategy of “don’t worry about the left, they have nowhere else to go” continuing to work spectacularly well, I see.

I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.

"Why did you do this to me? For what reason? What is the charge? Trading secrets? Trading succulent state secrets?"

while I appreciate the world is full of horrors I'd like to just take a moment to appreciate the Guardian's coverage of *that* winter Olympics incident www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

Dear Labour. If you want support, nationalise water, make buses and trains affordable outside London, tax billionaires, and stop-being trans and immigrant bashing arseholes.

big up @octaviafreud.bsky.social currently playing out his remix of our track "Zero" and in some pretty good company. Remix album coming soon, this will be on it #oxfordshiremusicscene #oxfordmusicscene #oxfordelectronicmusic

I'll be honest at this point I think Starmer is toast, and the people that blocked Burnham need to think again. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Down to our last #vinyl record! Putting it out on Bandcamp. We won't be doing any more barring a sudden drastic increase in fame. Very happy to have sold this run. mnsfprdctn.bandcamp.com/album/joy

With AI, means of production seizes you.

EPs and Albums of the year Been thinking a fair bit about this. Juggling rankings, do I really marginally prefer this album, etc. Then I read a bsky post saying “you can’t rank art”. I mean, obviously, you can, but it’s a faff so instead these are in alphabetical order with EPs before Albums.

today I saw some giant otters and lynx, so I'm happy #newforestwildlifepark

IMPORTANT NEWS

More year in MOP. Films. We enjoyed the new Superman, Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four films, and the Running Man remake, and enjoyed Elle Fanning in Predator: Badlands while realising the rest of the film was trash. We also went to see some actual good films, many of which were quite odd.

Make a Bond movie more casual: Live and let live

Gigs. We went to a lot of gigs. Winner though has to be @factoryfloor.bsky.social at @corsicastudios.bsky.social . I’ve been waiting to see them so long. They’re so good. We were right at the front. Sweaty club gigs are the best gigs.

More year in MOP. Gigs! We played some. Supports for AK/DK, Preoccupations Billy Mahonie and The Utopia Strong as well as playing @aylfest and launching our own album. Ended the year in a container in Gloucester next to a skatepark in an industrial estate in a very MOP moment.

More year in MOP. We got some lovely reviews of our album “Joy” and were in Electronic Sound’s start of year fave underground acts. Thanks so much to @nightshiftmag.bsky.social @electronicsound.bsky.social @stateofbassuk.bsky.social OMS mag and @strummerroom.bsky.social for your support xxx MOP

Holy flurking shit it's real. The ring had me thinking it HAD to either be Photoshop or AI slop but Internet Archive has a copy from 1972. (URL in Alt-text if you want to check for yourself)

So a bit more year in MOP. More of an announcement this time, we are now on Beatport and Juno and other electronic outlets. Thanks to @dittomusic.bsky.social for sorting this out. www.beatport.com/label/means-... www.junodownload.com/artists/Mean...

And through it all, she offers me protection…

The year in MOP pt 1. We will be doing AOTYs etc but first the reading list. Not that we are pretentious or anything. Books on place and things and music and art and books I have nicked lyrics from. We have other books about dinosaurs and philosophy of science and SF, but these are the core texts.

My neighbor told me pro boxers keep pummeling his douchebag influencers so I asked how many influencers he has and he said he just goes to the internet and gets a new influencer afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding influencers to boxers and then everyone's daughter started cheering.

Listening to this insane piece of post punk avant skronk from 1981. This is fkn great. One of them went on to found 808 State…..Playing it again prompted me to try to hunt it down but it is pretty much unobatainable digitally.

Based on my experience of iOS 26 I am not surprised that Tahoe is visually incoherent bullshit.
