Oil giant Equinor has just resubmitted a new application for Rosebank. For the next 30 days, the UK government is asking the public what they think about the Rosebank application. Now's the time to have your say! #StopRosebank

Still buzzing and feeling inspired by yesterday's @makethempay.bsky.social protest! Gary Stevenson's speech that now is the time to place pressure on the government for a wealth tax has given me hope. The next protest will be on October 10th. Let's grow this movement! #MakeThemPay #ClimateAction

🔥 TODAY - WE TAKE TO THE STREETS TO MAKE THEM PAY🔥 We can't wait to see everyone out in their thousands on the streets today to demand the billionaires and polluters responsible for breaking Britain are made to pay to fix it ✊

💥There are just 3 days to go before the national Make Them Pay demonstration!💥 Check out this thread for all the information you need to join thousands on the streets to demand the government tax the super rich, protects workers not billionaires and makes polluters pay ⬇️

This petition that @theguardian.com should incorporate climate science into its food section makes a very valid and important point

Leading global scholars sign letter urging UK to end Palestine Action ban

I'll be impressed if Hackney Council manages to cap Lime bicycle journeys at £1.75. One of my recent rides was £5, and that was just for a 15 minute journey.

This #BandcampFriday I recommend the mini-compilation that Heavenly Recordings has put out of JD Twitch's remixes. It's name your own price, with the money raised going towards his day-to-day support, after the very sad news of his terminal cancer diagnosis.

Yesterday's adventure climbing Blencathra

This morning, whilst listening to my music collection on shuffle, a great tune by Bonnie “Prince” Billy came up that I wanted to share with my partner. To my surprise his album Down The Road is not available on Spotify, because Oldham, in his own words, is "offended by Spotify’s existence".

MIND-BLOWING FACT: If you made $250,000 a day since Pedro Pascal was born you still wouldn’t make as much money as oil giant Equinor did in just the last 3 months with £4.8 billion in profit

We are now officially live on the App Store! Same app as web, but better with native push, haptics, pull to refresh, and share menu support. Big thanks to everyone who helped out with testing!

I was extremely honoured to have created the backdrop artwork for the magnificent @nadineshah Glastonbury performance earlier today. Of course you won’t have seen it on the BBC as they didn’t show any of it.

The right to a trial by a jury of your peers is a fundamental part of the UK legal system. To take this away would be yet another nail in the coffin of democracy.

At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating "I support Palestine. Action must be taken." My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

I saw Marie Davidson do an incredible DJ set at Glastonbury, and there was a tune that stood out with the lyric of "electrify me". I couldn’t find the track, so I tried contacting her, and today they emailed me back with the details! Now I just need to find this as a digital download of it.

What’s the odds on “a major social network has an antisemitic AI built into it” being raised by lobby with PM’s spokesperson today? A special DCMS committee? Ofcom launching an emergency investigation? Seems it’s so hard to comprehend that people will just focus on more manageable screaming at BBC.

Very sad to learn that JD Twitch, one half of the legendary DJ duo that is Optimo, has been diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumour. His family have asked for urgent help to find accessible accommodation in Glasgow.

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

Ban on Palestine Action to take effect after legal challenge fails

The govt’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action dangerously conflates direct action with terrorism, risking a chilling effect on free speech and protest. It also cynically lumps them in with two genuine extremist groups, and shamefully denied MPs a proper vote on each organisation.

Our next show is looking like a DIY cracker! Here's the full menu: hazy offbeat rock from Sydney's Daily Toll, lo-fi pop reveries from Chapter Music's Guy Blackman (Melbourne), and woozy enchantment from Miranda from The Spatulas (USA). All taking place at Avalon Cafe on 21st July, see you there!

One of Shoreditch's institutions is under threat, from the council no less: www.hot-dinners.com/202506301429...

Why is the Glastonbury Festival still using X? I noticed in the official festival app, it has a link to the latest tweets. Given the fuss that has been made about Bob Vylan's performance, you'd think they'd want to steer clear of a social media platform that has become a cesspit for hate speech.

I can't believe I am going to be seeing the Dirty Three in December after getting tickets to their show at the Barbican! 😀 They are one of my favourite bands after stumbling upon them at the Big Day Out many moons ago, and last time I saw them was way back in 2012 at Le Guess Who.

Kudos to @novaramedia.com and their discussion of the Bob Vylan controversy, with a solid argument that it's not hate speech, as an army is not on the list of protected characteristics.

NEWS! Calls for Morrissey to be arrested after footage emerges of him demanding the DJ be hanged

I regularly add new releases and artists to @musicbrainz.org, and I often come across AI generated music on Spotify, which is easy to identify by the absence of a biography and social media accounts. However, this is the first time I've heard of an AI generated band having an Instagram account!

Delighted to discover that Bill Callahan has released a free live album on Bandcamp, recorded last year at the ICA in London. Now fingers crossed 🤞🏼 I manage to get a ticket to his sold out London show this week

Imagine if London was a Commons: a city where the land was ours, managed and used for public benefit. Space for people to come together, for food growing, truly affordable housing, more parks and green spaces, more biodiversity, less pollution. A better city is possible! See you on the 27th July

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences? This is where we show them how solidarity works. My latest with the great @doubledown.news

Ek, who led a €100 million investment round into Helsing in 2021, said that he's now "doubling down" on his financial support for the firm.

This is all the fault of *puts tin foil hat on* 'big rain jacket'

Today I stumbled upon Wanderer, a self-hosted trail database. It's quite timely as I was a big fan of Komoot, until its recent acquisition by Bending Spoons, who has since laid off most of the team, so it's good to know there is an open-source alternative.
