Black and white photograph dated to circa 1960s. Eliane Radigue, a white woman with dark wavey hair in profile, head and neck. She is looking at a modular synthesiser which she is adjusting with her right hand.

RIP Eliane Radigue. Recalling “diffuse, embody, occupy” @cafeotodalston.bsky.social curated by @irenerevell.bsky.social and Jo Langton in 2019. We enjoyed the live set by Angharad Davies, Rhodri Davies & Dominic Lash performed from Eliane Radigue’s Occam Delta series, along with Beatriz Ferreyra. 💜

One tiny footnote in all this is being old enough to remember when we had a socialist mayor of London who did a deal with Chavez for oil for TfL buses in exchange for urban planning consultancy (apparently geographers from Open University inc Doreen Massey went) 🚌 ⚡️

A slow moving tragedy that is preventable — see also — all other public institutions.

Oh dear god, ”a neurodiverse artist”; say no one in your employ is, ahem, *neurodivergent* without saying…

Quite so 😡

Though I realised recently that my failure to get the ‘Collector’ badge approved due to not adequately framing my extensive postcard collection in a fixed and linear so-called “scrap book” may be my earliest curatorial deviance (Lis Rhodes/crumpled paper at my feet etc)

The levels of ideology were so bogus even then. "We're the happy, friendly Kelpies, Smart and quick and ready helpers." screaming out for @saranahmed.bsky.social

this is making me feel ollllddddd

Here's another Covid scandal that is just starting to emerge into the public domain from today's Private Eye. I think this will turn into a big one.

Oh Happy Days: A Personal Recollection Of Working For Jeremy Hunt | The Quietus You learn a lot about someone when you work with them every day. I’m sure my colleagues at The Quietus have gained a pretty good idea of general aspects of my character – various insecurities, organis...

...and so Jeremy Hunt is now Sir Jeremy Hunt. My article about working for his dreadful pre-politics publishing company Hotcourses was a popular among NHS employees when he was health secretary; sharing it again for old times' sake.

So appalling, it’s quite unbelievable that airlines get away with this, if more people knew then they wouldnt date

Keir Starmer should just do plain speaking like “hey we’re just hoping to eliminate as many useless eaters as possible, it’s an economic necessity you understand”

How quickly academic spaces--conferences, workshops, department meetings, other interactions--begin to grumble about hybrid modes gave me whiplash.

"We prefer you be here in person"
"We are trying to ensure in-person meetings"

Telling us who you think is worth including/excluding.

I hear this to the tune of “We are the robots 🤖 🎶 “

Snap

“Your serpentine sentences” was one more generous description I’ve had
