Great. But my experience of the Beatport website has gone seriously down hill in the last month. And now when I try to play a track I get 'Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).' Other websites do not do this....! Disappointed.

I'm afraid I have given up on BBC news and current affairs. Frankly, very happy limiting my BBC experience to Radio 1 Dance until there is a regime change there.

Track 8 provided a few moments of high campness from yours truly in the DJ booth, to the amusement of the crowd - enjoy....!

Now THAT's what I call European Unity, Vol.1!

My half-hour DJ set at Queer Open Decks at Dalston Superstore this week, based around the evening's theme of music in other languages, blended pop, 80s synth, early afro house and cabaret, with tracks in French, Mandinka, Spanish, Italian - and one half in English...

If you just relied on say, the BBC for your news, you could also say you are limiting yourself, to channels that over-represent right wingers while e.g. the Green Party hardly gets a look in, expertise is ‘just another opinion’ and opinion is given the same importance as fact.

It’s by Simon Jenkins, what do you expect…

Might be a third barrier - there’s not enough grass roots coordination or visibility, it just seems to be about an annual March for a few thousand every October and spats on social media. If the movement were stronger the other two barriers wouldn’t matter.

Bangers from Peggy Gou, Carlita, Troye Sivan, Ariana Grande, James Hype, Pet Shop Boys, Blessed Madonna, Kylie, Miquel Brown, Divine, a massive Italian track by Annalisa, Ed Sheeran & lots more. This is part 1 of 3 mixes and purposefully misses the familiar Pride 'anthems' - those are coming soon!

My New Pride Dance Mix is online! It's based partly on my gig for a corporate client in the London Pride Parade last week, combining the pre-procession warm-up tracks (brand new house & recent electropop) with some pounding 80s Hi-NRG classics that I finished with: www.mixcloud.com/AdrianTippet...

These people are heroes

Barring a tourist over a meme mocking the VP? This is what authoritarianism looks like

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way:

"If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

I’ve long given up the Today Programme for Radio One Dance in the mornings and do not feel less informed - just relieved to bypass this kind of idiocy

Solidarity with Ukraine. I wonder what the ethnic make up of those Russian casualties is. The threat Russia poses will only truly be dealt with when those nations Russia occupies can also liberate themselves.

I trust this post wasn’t generated by AI - who would know nowadays 😀

Speaking from the perspective of technical writing and marketing communications - I would urge people to step away from GenAI and use proper sources, like interviewing the expert concerned or using back editions of technical / peer reviewed journals.

Defence housing receives £1.5bn boost in Strategic Defence Review | Construction News The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has committed an additional £1.5bn to improve housing for armed forces personnel and their families, taking total investment

Thanks for your insight, Michael!

Does this mean the U.K. will align with EU regulations relating to food standards? How will proof of compliance work? @vivamjm.bsky.social

Ukrainians certainly know how to get more 'bang for your buck' when it comes to a return on defence investment...

Ukraine could certainly teach NATO about spending wisely too - how to get more bang for your buck in the literal sense. Who needs a £3bn QE class aircraft carrier when a used truck for one-millionth the cost on ebay will do nicely. They proved today that %GDP is not what matters, but 'outputs'.

Thanks - a grim statistic! When I hear Labour seeking to appease Reform voters - I have to admit, it causes me to think, 'why should I bother' (I will of course vote, but believe me in a first past the post system, it seems many votes don't seem to matter)

It would be interesting to see the representation of 'non voters' relative to voters, otherwise excellent illustration.

It's incredible that we are still having to make a case for it after all this time.

It needs to be made permanently inoperable. Dismantle, demolish, recycle as much as possible of the infrastructure - the aim should be to leave no trace of Nordstream 2, whatsoever.

This abandoned customs checkpoint could be an opportunity to revive the region’s night time industry - reincarnated as the next super-club, to rival Drumsheds or Pacha! But what would it be called? @mixmag.net @djmag.com

Hi David, can you advise: does this now mean that the UK will automatically align with the EU's food regulations? How will this work exactly if we are outside the single market?

Well that’s a step in the right direction. The silent majority can see that Brexit was a disaster all round and it’s time politicians started admitting it
