This makes no sense… An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto… No thanks If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote Sign the petition & help make that law. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

To pick just one thing: here is the full list of benefits Britain earned by joining in and promoting America’s War on Terror: - It made us complicit in war crimes - Tony Blair got some photo ops with George Bush II - Tony Blair got a standing ovation in Congress That’s it. Hope you enjoyed it.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Did you know you can sing “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” whenever you feel like it? It’s literally a whim away.

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

Super interesting presentation on there about optical technology. Something we all rely on every day and take for granted.

One of my favorite lines about AI — not LLMs but human-like digital intelligence — was said to me almost a decade ago by @galaxykate.bsky.social for a piece I wrote for Vice. www.vice.com/en/article/w...

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

"I’m already wondering what’s in my inbox in case Claude Opus 4 turns on me for writing this devastating exposé. So why is AI still so useless at shopping?" This week's column by Stewart Lee 🔗 Read the full piece and sign up for our free twice-weekly newsletter at www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Well this is awesome - Alastair Roberts made a child friendly synth for his daughter: bitsnpieces.dev/posts/a-synt...

Scapeshift is a generative groovebox that DOESN'T use AI. This has been my recovery project and the beginning of an exciting world of possibility which I hope to devote my efforts to going forward. Available now on my new Patreon www.patreon.com/c/TimExile/s...

NYC subway still the best place to find inspiration for those new glitch shaders.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

Talking to trans women in tech can help anyone who doubts that women experience the world differently; they can provide you with A/B before/after results. Treat all women in tech better and believe them about their experiences:

Has anyone done a convincing "TORN ARSE" photoshopping yet?

BBD: The Next Generation. And that'll power a whole lot of new music gear for you. CDM stories are of course written by me without AI, as AI don't understand this s*** ;)

Progress on the detective game experiment made with @godotengine.org Using custom post-process, a secondary camera for the magnifying glass which can reveal hidden clues and to be able to study objects seamlessly... It's been fairly smooth so far, I'm enjoying the Godot experience 😊

one of my favourite things like this is in Escape From New York when they made "wireframe" shots of NY by covering a model city in glow in the dark tape

So very close to getting the LDMX software ready. A lighting desk for synth geeks. if you hate disco lights on auto but don't want to run a lighting desk all night this may be for you #cosmicsystems

Reminder that 100,000 people marched for Trans Pride in London earlier this year, but because they weren't violent fascists, there was minimal press coverage, unlike the Nazis today. https://www.them.us/story/london-trans-pride-march-turnout-record-uk-transphobia

Finally set up an end to end stress test for the lighting desk software / hardware I’m building.

890 people have been arrested for demanding an end to genocide in Gaza. To call them “terrorists” is beyond disgusting. Shame on you and this Labour government for criminalising solidarity with the Palestinian people, while continuing to sell arms to Israel that fuel genocide.

It seems that this government are just laying the table for the far right government to come so that they are as comfy as possible as they tear into the flesh of us - every day I am a little more startled by who exactly is advising them to lose the next election as quickly as possible

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

@timexile.com I’ve just realised that we are going to meet as I’m running the visuals team for the live stage at Machina Bristronica and you’re on the lineup. I might even end up doing visuals for you :-)

Really, Alan Turing Institute?

Please don't plug keyboards or other devices into random USB ports, ok?

Unlike Reform, we’re doing things differently with democracy & inclusivity at the core. From the launch to the party, conference, structures & yes - even the name! - we’re building it together. It might feel unfamiliar to you. It’s called democracy. 🔗 yourparty.uk

Finished “The Residence” today and if there are no more Cordelia Cupp stories that’ll be a real shame. Uzo Aduba is just perfect in this and C.C already feels like one the great TV detectives. Netflix really dropping the ball (again) by not making more. Best thing I’ve seen in ages.

We are finally ready to announce that EMF 2026 will happen on July 16-19, 2026, at Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Herefordshire. Expect more updates soon as we start spinning up the organisation again.

Feel like so much of my adult life has been patiently watching various political parties attempting to court 'the cunt vote', even though it makes everything demonstratably worse, and they never, ever get it. Fairly dispiriting, tbh.

#Gaza: Today at 3 a.m., Israeli forces bombed tents of displaced people in Khan Younis as they further expand their operation in the area. Our colleague Hossni Al Naijar, was among those injured in the attack, while a baby in the tent next to his was killed.

A reminder that every square metre of the British landscape has been shaped by humans and that the “natural” environment you want to preserve did not exist a century ago. We should be installing pylons & solar panels, reforesting grouse moors and reintroducing large carnivores to the UK

This is INCREDIBLE; the Macs alongside the text aren't showing screenshots, it's booting emulators so you interact with what's being written about, and even includes the NeXT aresluna.org/frame-of-pre...

I have once again added sunglasses to a local cat

oh so you "identify" as a different gender, huh? well, how about *i* "identify" as someone who doesn't fully understand what you're going through but who wishes you all the best, huh? how about THAT? lol. rekt.

Excited to be opening my Hot Broth Stand on the central line at midday TODAY. Broth fans come on down! Selling Hot Broth hoodies and beanies as well for all the merch-heads out there. Support local businesses. Let your broth flag fly 🌶️♨️🥵

I made this about petty people* that get annoyed when there are other people sitting on the bench they wanted *me

For those of you with NI Reaktor, I just released an 8-tap stereo delay I've been working on (and very much off) since 2020. It's based on the architecture of the Korg DL8000R but I've added a diffusion network to the feedback loop. Grab it for free via: monomoon.co.uk/posts/d8k-re...

This feels *extremely* accurate to me. Thanking the gods for my diagnosis and prescription amphetamines literally changing my life.

Just need to say this again: Carol & the End of the World is utterly fantastic and deserves so much more love. It’s on Netflix.

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright. Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."
