Electronic music is a genre that was started and shaped by women, so on International Women's Day, here are some Bandcamp recommendations for women making some of the best electronic music you can get today. 🧵

I would switch the word "might" here for the word "definitely do", and it harms effective delivery.

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus and Happy St. David's Day, you beautiful humans. Everything feels like it's on fire. Do the little things.

Speaking of sticking - we’ve got some new limited edition stickers on the way.

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus. “Gwnewch y pethau bychain.” 🌼 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This from @bm.wel.by looks great - and I think I'll probably have some strong opinions about the contents so now it's finding the time to go through it properly... bm.wel.by/2026/02/26/b...

Since @pcsunionlondon.bsky.social have posted this in The Other Place but not here, I’ll do it for them. PCS is reporting that Cabinet Office has named Capita as preferred bidder for a £700,000,000 civil service payroll contract. Wow. CS pensions is quite the case study. /cc @radiobeartime.com

On Feb. 20, 1959, the Avro Arrow program was cancelled by the Diefenbaker government. Thousands of people lost their jobs, and the Canadian aeronautical and aviation sector was decimated. The day became known as Black Friday. This is the story of the Arrow. 🧵 1/12

Whiplash. In retrospect, it shouldn't have been a galloping shock to see 2014 Hollywood going crazy for a film that presents abusive relationships as the pathway to artistic self-realisation, but I certainly was shocked at the time.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for UKGovCamp 2026! It was an incredible event. We have finally put our thoughts into words. Check out our write-up in the comments below!

I was thinking about this yesterday and thinking "I BET @dracos.co.uk has made a tool for this." And it is so!

P-p-p-p-p-pancake day! youtu.be/gj_aHCpZl4k?...

I say Pooh to that.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers Is Tyggers are burning bright Their tops are made out of rubber In the forest of the night What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, Immortal hand or eye Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers, Their fearful symmetry!

Alan Partridge: It *really* encapsulates the frustration of a mid-term break. The kids running around, packing everyone off to the beach, no parking anywhere- Seamus Heaney: I really hate to do this to you Alan

NOT A DRILL There is now sticky toffee pudding in this situation.

Going to this tomorrow and can't wait!

I have seen the most English video ever made and it is this

In any case, if you want your country to actually live out moral or religious values, you must make it do so yourself. Certainly no king will do it for you. Alas that, at least on this side of the grave, we always fall short of our best values.

So I've only just seen these stickers but if you ever needed further proof that @transform.wales have the absolute stuff, that Goldie Lookin' Chain sticker is it. I mean their reports and tireless work to make Wales better, right. But that STICKER!

False modesty is bullshit. So this is an exceptional episode of the podcast I have poured my heart, soul and brain into for ten years. It was a privilege to discuss C.S. Lewis with Rowan Williams, knowing a) you'd get to hear it and b) nobody does it like we do. www.backlisted.fm/episodes/257...

The only historian I can think of who I would describe as a hero for how he lived, how he died, and how he did the work of history. There are so many harmful, bad faith ways of being a historian, and Bloch's work made the world better and more humane. The Nazis couldn't kill that. Nazis never can.

Long overdue but still great to see!

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

I know. I know. I'm ranting. But my heart goes out to everyone inside Civil Service Pensions battling to fix what is an entirely unnecessary catastrophe. You have been let down as much as the pensioners now reduced to getting loans to keep wolf from door.

This thread might seem odd, even macabre, but to me it's very beautiful, and captures something lovely that's easily overlooked. What does it look like to hold a care that long precedes you, and will last long after you? What does faithfulness look like? Holding a paper bag of bones, in the rain.

🚨 Exciting jobs klaxon! 🚨 We’re hiring 2x Heads of Delivery, one will be working with me in HFU 🇺🇦😁 26-27 is going to be a really exciting year for us as we mature our system and explore growth opportunities, and I need someone great by my side! www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cg...

Hello! Following on from highly successful events like @ukgovcamp.com a group of us are now in the early stages of developing a similar event for civil servants involved in policy development.

“ It may end in a crash, a scandal, and penal servitude; it may end in millions, a peerage and giving the prizes at your old school. But you will be a scoundrel.”

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

hi, part of my job is being with grieving people and I want to say to you very gently DO NOT DO THIS, STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS A THING

In 2026 we are reinstating the regular One Team Gov breakfast club in London and also running a virtual one for anybody who doesn't have a meetup near them. If you're interested you can sign up for both using the link (and please retweet/skeet!) www.linkedin.com/posts/onetea...

I love these festivals. A friend is from a town in Kentucky which has a whole fair called "Apple Butter Makin' Days".

The other thing is the frankly laughable idea that we need to improve our understanding of consciousness in order to verify that probability machines talking to one another in English are not creating consciousness. Of course they aren't!! Why would they be? Why are these claims taken seriously?

My take on Moltbook that it's very notable that a certain kind of developer thinks that (a) Reddit is the optimum form of communication and (b) is constantly trying to make things that replace their own skills/ interests/what they find fun

"A misconfiguration on Moltbook’s backend has left APIs exposed in an open database that will let anyone take control of those agents to post whatever they want."

The guy who vibe coded a crypto rug pull scientific error detection and got coverage in Nature is back with a vibe coded ai social media network, with similarly crypto intentions… getting coverage from major outlets. www.404media.co/exposed-molt...

i haven't done this since twitter but at the request of 1 (one) person, OSCAR NOMINEES AS SIMPSONS SCREENCAPS THREAD

"Would George Costanza think this was a good way to impress a woman?" is an excellent test of a bad idea

Moltbook: a brief thread of thoughts. Firstly, the wastage. However exciting a new innovation - and this could be very exciting - we can't get away from this with AI. The cost, in money, carbon, heat and water is shocking and seems unlikely to be optimised. (1/n)

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Do you want to know if you can watch a film on the BBC tonight?
