Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

All the nasty, sour, hateful bitching that Farage & Reform have been saying about the people of Gorton & Denton solidifies exactly why they should never have been trusted with power there.

When someone tells you who they are, you should listen. I truly hope the country is listening.

Salute to a man who was probably the single most important studio engineer of my most formative years and beyond. He shaped sound, sharpened samples and varnished vocals. Tribe, De La, The Roots, Badu, D’Angelo and too many more. A true wizard.

RIP Bob Power. πŸ•ŠοΈ

Just a reminder, as some question religious influence in UK politics. There are only two major countries in the world that guarantee clergy to hold seats in parliament. The United Kingdom and Iran. The UK automatically seats 26 Bishops in the House Of Lords.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Is it sectarian when Reform talk about Judeo-Christian heritage? Is it divisive when Starmer talks about becoming an island of strangers? Is voting on religious lines an issue when Kemi declares her ethnic emnity towards Nigerian Muslims? It is weird to be so fixated on this discussion suddenly!

β€œThink of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. 

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.”

β€” Carl Sagan

Flora had her op yesterday. She did not like the cone of shame & dispatched it shortly after this picture. She is doing great.

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.

This is a hideous betrayal of the country, in exchange for a bribe.

Fair. Although people may be more sincere than you realise, they just find it difficult to express. Hope it goes well.
