There was a set of DirectX plugins in the late 90s/early 00s called HyperPrism DX that I loved. Arboretum Systems sadly disappeared years ago, so they have been lost to time. I've spent the last few months trying to recreate them as VST3 plugs. Check it: github.com/themightyzq/... #audioplugins #vst

I mean, yes, Geordies rule, obvs. But also it’s very easy to think the really loud racist wankers who are all over everything at the minute are large in number, but actually most people in this country are lovely and decent.

Bertrand Russell once received letters from Sir Oswald Mosley, the founder of the British Union of Fascists, inviting him to a debate. Russell not only declined but replied quite generally that “nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.” @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

Seems like the time for Lib Dem’s to smash some shit up. Tories gone, Labour fucked, Reform’s bullshit seeping into the corners

Hey Americans, I see from your NYT Spelling Bee puzzle that you don’t have the word ‘gurning’. My gift to you…

Three dudes in a row reading books. The offline analogue fightback gathers apace!!

Picture on the BBC website. Isn’t this kind of make-up application a real sign of dementia??

In “Hamlet,” Riz Ahmed makes “some of the most familiar dialogue in the English language into something fresh,” @jasondashbailey.com writes. “That goes for this entire adaptation, which taps into the raw, emotional core of the play, and strips it to the marrow.” crookedmarquee.com/tiff-dispatc...

The painted over Banksy Mural now looks like a silhouette of an episode of ‘Bottom’ where Richie is attacking Eddie and Eddie is defending himself with a TV aerial

Any Dante audio networking gurus out there?? Recording 40 channels of a live show to Reaper and signal is randomly dropping out and back in (no probs thru p.a etc). Tried all sorts to no avail... 😑 Any tips much appreciated!! 🙏🙏🙏

I will never apologize for a post

Fuck me, this is the first time I’ve seen Farage challenged as he should be in years

Let’s be honest. Carswell is not alone. You don’t tweet unless you know it’s a popular belief. There are many in public roles, in pubs and at dinner tables who believe this. This is a persecution of Muslims in the UK and anyone with any sense of humanity, who cares about Britain must call this out .

The main issue facing any UK government isn't actually the number of people seeking asylum, in the grand scheme, proportionally, we aren't talking about huge figures, especially when compared per capita to countries such as France, but the constant images we see in the media. 1/

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Think Starmer needs to start polishing the jackboots, it’s clearly the only way

weird to think I lived through the few years when it felt like maybe feminism was actually, cautiously, finally getting somewhere, they already feel like a different world

The exchanges between Adam and ChatGPT are devastating. This, in my mind, is the worst one. One of his last messages was a photo of the noose hung in his bedroom closet, asking if it was "good." ChatGPT offered a technical analysis of the set up and told him it 'could potentially suspend a human."

Had the very great pleasure of working on this film, Nia da Costa’s adaptation of the Ibsen play, Hedda, earlier this year. Deserves to get a really positive response, proper classy production youtu.be/m3lgD59KrTw

Today in Copenhagen. Heading up the coast to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and the amazing Robert Longo exhibition. Hard to believe what he’s doing with charcoal.

Have a large chunk of my 8-bit cassette tape games that I'm selling up now on eBay. ZX Spectrum, BBC/Electron, Oric, and MSX for now. Tonnes more to go up over next couple of years. Software, hardware, you name it. Give me a follow if you want to see the journey! www.ebay.co.uk/usr/lord_arse

we need this on uk tv asap

Excited about this sweet little piece of kit I bought today. It's an amp for my headphones that connects to my electric guitar and gives me various guitar settings. Now I can play my electric guitar without hooking up my big amp! #MusicSky #Guitar

Honestly think this is a brilliant tactic. One thing someone like Trump would be terrified of is being not taken seriously, being mocked and laughed at. Here’s hoping his crumbling starts soon.

Been looking at Apple HomePods cos we want something to shout reminders at, or add stuff to To Do lists, that isn’t an Amazon thing. Aside from not being great with Spotify, is it any good for a bunch of ADHDers who need 1400 alarms a day to function? We also don’t need it to turn lights on.

Anyone else lying in bed and wondering how to not feel like you’re in an oven?

Very much enjoyed today’s dialogue editing. Working on scenes with an old (legendary) actor who I think has Parkinson’s, and has had a rip roaring life thrown into the pot. Lots of tweaks to sharpen up the intelligibility, using tiny bits of ADR throughout. Main thing is to deal with the constant

I don’t need graphs about what jolly good citizens migrants are to justify why they shouldn’t be attacked. They shouldn’t be attacked because racism is bad and racists are cunts

Thinking of doing a coffee table book on bad stunt doubles. Here’s “Burt Reynolds” in 1987’s perfectly adequate action thriller Malone.

This is truly horrific. How will be able to look back on this last year with anything but shame

South east water (motherfuckers) are presiding over at least a gazillion burst pipes where we are. Constant road closures to fix their crappy plastic meters. Streams running down roads LITERALLY EVERYWHERE but let’s not flush our loo more than once a week

Cheeky gin on the patio. Greetings from #kent

Can everyone who asked for the new Gollum movies please make themselves known? Come on, don’t be shy; just want to see who you are, motherfuckers

Got a text yesterday from my brother, telling me to go to the local IKEA and record a stove hood they had on display. Today I went there to record it. The OMNEJD stove hood did not disappoint 😄

Veiled Figures by Raffaele Monti (1818–1881). Monti was an Italian sculptor, author and poet born in Milan. He studied under his father, the noted sculptor Gaetano Matteo Monti in the Imperial Academy. In 1846, Monti travelled to England and later settled there.
