A wonderful young musical voice. It was a total blast & privilege to work on #CemGüven's music with the ever-wonderful @RiotEns at @gaudeamusnl 2024.

Water companies could face a tide of legal challenges after a landmark judgment in the Supreme Court removes the block on lawsuits over pollution. This major win has been six years in the making – and finally came in this momentous week. goodlaw.social/42st

Jacob Rees-Mogg made £7m from Brexit. Look at his face in this video guilty and arrogant as sin. RT his shame.

You can be arrested for throwing a milkshake at Nigel Farage. But not for dumping billions of litres of shit in the Thames.

The man here has just been named a composer for Drive Through Fire. Here he is “writing” about Ligeti… …this nonsense goes on for pages 🥴
The woman here has just been named the new conductor for the Iceland Symphony. Here she is performing "music" by Ligeti... ...this nonsense goes on for 11mins 🥴

Note to all composers: write your scores in C. The usual octave transpositions are ok. I spent 6 weeks deciphering the chords in Elektra. After that I decided I’ll not put any conductor colleagues through that unnecessary ordeal with my own scores.

Hey @duolingo. I like your app, but is there any way of toggling down the relentless guilt-trip?

The unelected House of Lords should be scrapped. Not only is it undemocratic, handing Peerages to party donors stinks to the high heavens. Abolish it.

Penny Mordaunt, "Stand up and fight, because when you stand up and fight, the person beside you stands up and fights. And when our party stands up and fights, the nation stands up and fights. And when our nation stands up and fights, other nations stand up and fight. And they stand up and fight for the the things upon which the entire progress of humanity depends. Freedom."

Hey @EE @bt_uk any chance of you explaining your significant cost increase to contracts during a #CostOfLiving Crisis despite your staggering (and comparatively un-changed) profits? This despite an obvious drop in the quality of your service. #corporategreed
