Delighted to post my very first self-produced radio documentary for the BBC World Service: a half hour piece about the creation of the world's first orchestra of blind musicians, featuring @Human_Inst and @Paraorchestra

I wish the fires had destroyed Silicon Valley instead. If those fires had razed Meta, Tesla, and Amazon HQs to the ground, along with their “smart homes” filled with fancy gadgets and empty skulls, you could have convinced me that there really is a god.

Making friendly chit chat with a shopkeep, I hastily added, “By the way I’m Canadian not American.”
He laughed.
“Ten times more people are saying that now compared to a week ago.”
The only question is "when" full climate breakdown will fully let rip that life even in NY or London will not be possible. Not "if".
Again - I'd be smug and post a pic of me with my British passport making a sexy kiss, but the reality is the entire planet will suffer, the Lebanese and Gazans most acutely and immediately, and the entire planet progressively.
Next up - Republicans will have control over the house, the senate, and the Supreme Court is already stacked with evil people who don't even believe in evolution let alone climate change or birth control.
Well then. Do you think we're going to stop hearing the "greatest country in the world" bullshit now?
It's taken me two months to write my memorial for the irreplaceable James Palmer-Bullock, manager for @maxcoopermax, founder of the singular Mesh music label, and until recently... my new boss. He was truly one of a kind... and he changed my life.

It's that time of year again. If you need me I'll be huddling in front of this for the next six months.
GOD I hate daylight savings. It's bad enough the days shorten so fast in the UK in the autumn, do you REALLY need to worsen it by an hour?!
Violent J's thoughts on the presidency are remarkably salient. (I'm half joking but honestly not really. Either way this is a joy to watch. Long live the murder clown genre. They are cute as pie.)

Five Guys: Infinitely mediocre and overpriced, but it was worth £22 to see the breath-taking idiocy behind the quotes mounted on the wall.
These are not reviews. These are statements of fact.

Last week @maxcoopermax held a surprise gig as a sneak preview for his new album. That the gig was lush and inspiring came as no surprise - but the most impressive thing was the sheer generosity and love he showed to his fans.

This looks like a fun read - and a comforting one for everyone feeling the cost of living pinch and the daily reminders of how much we’ve been fucked over by the baby boomers.

1. WHY IS THIS NEWS.
2. Whatever she's on - which clearly erase the daily knowledge that your father is *Andrew* - I want it.
3. If the main family died in one terrorist attack, she would inherit the throne. Is there a better argument for republicanism?

Randomly remembered last night, as I tossed and turned trying to sleep: Remember in the early 00s when "internet addiction" was a debated pathology? I haven't heard a word about this supposed illness in like 15 years... because everyone is fucking afflicted now.

Is is just me, or would “Trans Mountain Pipeline” be a great title for some boundary-crossing porn?

Holy crap, a use for AI that I deeply approve of!
THIS is what it should be used for - difficult boring tedious paperwork. Not writing film scripts or misidentifying faces or coming up with stupid inedible recipes. THIS.
