Busy day, scoring. It feels a little magical when you receive early editable footage from as yet to be released film and watch it through a few times; hovering over the piano, finding the first note as a way in to unlock the emotion. #filmsuffolk

The Age of Earthquakes by Hans Ulrich Obrist describes this, and that was published 9 years ago. I referenced it in the final part of my MA and it forms the jumping off point for my PhD.

It was always a fuck up, that was its charm.

Words have consequences - the fascists hide behind the noble sentiment ‘the right to free speech’.

I’m going to have to steal this.

We’re stopping off for a few hours in The Faroes later in 2025. I’m well aware of the horrible practice of killing pilot whales.
If you have a spare hour, I’d really recommend watching ‘The Island and The Whales’ documentary.

Rory Stewart, "We desperately need immigration.. For health, social care.. We aren't having enough children"

"But it's also true our immigration policy is a disaster" #BBCQT

"For nearly 50 years the numbers were under 100,000 and since Brexit we've jumped to almost a million"

Is this a Vinny ‘Nylon’?

Scientifically, it’s not easy to define a liquid, but our best approximation is ‘a substance that flows and fills the space of its container’. Clearly this includes cats.

It’s a humbling and elegant fact.

How should we respond to the recent riots and the return of the far-right as a political force? Sociologist Dr Russ Jackson on how Reform UK and the UK’s news media engage in the shameless normalisation of far-right discourse
