More woozy tightrope-walking between dread and utopia from Boards of Canada. Gorgeous:

Elon has confirmed that he'll be combining xAI and Reebok.

PSA for the 3 @boardsofcanada.bsky.social fans who follow me... New Boards track premiering tomorrow at 3pm UK time! www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Nl...

And Leavitt at the back Said "start the fake attack", And it turned into a ballroom grift And Miller in the corner Said "where's my wifey armour?", And it turned into a ballroom grift Ballroom grift

Just keep cooking, look up Boltzmann Brains next.

I just learned that the nearest galaxy to ours is 2.5 million light years away. And there are an estimated 2 trillion galaxies in the known universe. Don't know how to feel about it really. Suppose I ought to have another drink.

Thanks, LinkedIn! I'll be sure to reach out to that guy I don't know who went to my uni 14 years after me and studied a different subject.

I hope this film fails and the career of everyone involved in making it suffers.

So excited for this! A day i was beginning to fear would never come. Managed to get on Bleep as soon as it was announced and bag the special edition vinyl. Site is now getting hammered and not loading.

Miliband on manoeuvres...

Was looking at my 8yo's Lego book and happened upon this entry. I mean, it's great advice - just wasn't expecting to be so moved by Brickman's Big Book of Better Builds. The text reads: "Without a character, this vignette tells the tale of a death and the blossoming of hope after sorrow is over".

"Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch."

BREAKING: We’re taking the government to court over Palantir. The government is refusing to hand over important briefings given to Wes Streeting about the £330m NHS data contract with Peter Thiel’s surveillance firm So we’re taking legal action. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/breaking-w...

Couldn't agree more.

"Victor Orban's Defeat Shows That Ultimately, He Was Too Woke" - Finty Bucklefast in tomorrow's Telegraph

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain

Orban concedes!

It sounds like a new Boards of Canada album is coming: stereogum.com/2495125 I am mega-mega-excited by this. I really want one of these VHSs they're sending out. Anyway, here's Olson, which is beautiful and my favourite track of theirs. youtu.be/6_lzNFjqGiw?...

That'll show 'em

A lot has bothered me about the reporting of the Kanye West banned. Firstly how it has been framed as all about it the Jewish community - but we should all be against Nazism! This country fought Nazis. Songs called Heil Hitler should not just be for the Jewish community to object to. And secondly…

"We have done the lion's share of the preparation to ensure that the Strait will be open" it ***WAS*** open, dickhead!

We were all so naive in the 2000s. Social media was never going to be a tool for democratic deliberation. It has been an unlimited,, unmediated broadcast tool for the most shameless among us.

Very good but very disturbing stuff. Things might get pretty hairy in 2-3 weeks' time...

This piece by @jemima.bsky.social articulates something I think about every time I hear a newly-released house track on the radio - that it could have been released in 2016, or 2006, sometimes evern 1996, and wouldn't have felt out of place. www.ft.com/content/0d96...

Mum hospitalised in 1st wave, Dad died; she never came home, got decanted to care home, put in solitary confinement. Unspeakable misery. Boris and crew made terrible decisions, fuelled by hubris and a desire to party. I'm incandescent with rage. (Thank you Christina for making sure we don't forget).

I've unexpectedly lost my job. It's a major bummer. This is a long shot but if anyone has any freelance gigs going, or knows of a remote/hybrid role for a content guy in the south-west/poss London, please shout! Content design | UX writing | copywriting | editing | content management | articles

"Doge of the left" Feel like I'm going mad - who are these maniacs who think referencing Doge is smart? By all means find ways to save money, but don't model it on a massively controversial failure. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I know people are sceptical about journalism right now but this is the kind of story that takes weeks to get to the bottom of. I hope people see the value in what we do

Problem with the Farage videos isn't even really what he's saying, it's that he'll say ANYTHING for money

Wow! What IS his secret?

There is very unlikely to be anything to vote on. Changes will be implemented via the immigration rules - secondary legislation subject to negative procedure. People (especially MPs) need to understand this. The Home Secretary is operating unchecked.

really dislike “un-british” as an argument, it doesn’t mean anything. just say that it’s shit

Farage's fury at technology being annoying is the most relatable he's ever been

Does anyone have the full clip of Trump calling Newsom the President, including what he said before "President of the United States Gavin Newscum"? Because, loath as I am to defend Trump, this smacks of his totally bonkers cadence just like the whole "Tim Apple" thing. I'd love to be wrong though.

'Style Icon' Darren Grimes, below, criticises young and trendy newest Green MP, Hannah's fashion choices. intimating that they impact on her political efficacy perhaps. What does putting on ten pounds but still wearing your old jacket say. "can't even tell the truth...to himself" perhaps?

Afternoon.

This story is absolutely bonkers. It's also very serious, of course, but I did snort at this line from the guy threatening the journo: "You have exactly a few hours left to fix your attempt at influencing [the market]."

Thanks, oh Starmer

One day Donald Trump is begging for help. On another he says he doesn't need any help. He said he'd already won the war. Then he says he's about to win the war. We remember, Donnie. It is you who does not. Your playground threats? Sad!

It's going to take decades for America to fully recover from Trump, if it ever does

Post your favourite final shot in film.

this means it is not open for transit

Can this be a solution?

Long but really good piece: www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state... "No one doubted that Washington had a mailed fist. But by cloaking it in a velvet glove—treating weaker states with respect and not trying to squeeze every possible advantage out of others— ...

One thing I've been stressing is that, if Hormuz traffic remained stopped, the monumental oil supply shock will manifest as sharp price spikes in wealthy nations that sap disposable incomes In poorer countries, the shock will manifest as outright physical shortages.
