Decision time: Tell Keir to #StopRosebank This is the moment we've been building towards: it's final decision time for the UK Government. Equinor is trying to get the new Rosebank oil field re-approved. It's up to us all to convince the Gover...

Oil giant Equinor has just resubmitted a new application for Rosebank. For the next 30 days, the UK government is asking the public what they think about the Rosebank application. Now's the time to have your say! #StopRosebank

Still buzzing and feeling inspired by yesterday's @makethempay.bsky.social protest! Gary Stevenson's speech that now is the time to place pressure on the government for a wealth tax has given me hope. The next protest will be on October 10th. Let's grow this movement! #MakeThemPay #ClimateAction

Leading global scholars sign letter urging UK to end Palestine Action ban Exclusive: Naomi Klein and Angela Davis among those demanding stop to ‘attack on fundamental freedoms’ of assembly and protest * Letter: Palestine Action ban is an attack on fundamental freedoms Naomi Klein and Angela Davis are among dozens of international scholars and writers who have signed a letter to the Guardian calling on the UK government to reverse the ban on Palestine Action. The letter applauds what it describes as a “growing campaign of collective defiance” against the ban and commends the “courageous stand” of hundreds of people who plan to risk arrest by declaring their support for Palestine Action during a mass protest in London on Saturday.

I'll be impressed if Hackney Council manages to cap Lime bicycle journeys at £1.75. One of my recent rides was £5, and that was just for a 15 minute journey.

JD Twitch - Heavenly Remixes, by Heavenly Recordings 3 track album

This #BandcampFriday I recommend the mini-compilation that Heavenly Recordings has put out of JD Twitch's remixes. It's name your own price, with the money raised going towards his day-to-day support, after the very sad news of his terminal cancer diagnosis.

Mathew (@okwithmydecay@pixey.org) Today we climbed Blencathra, and took a heap of photos #Blencathra #LakeDistrict #landscapePhotography

Yesterday's adventure climbing Blencathra

This morning, whilst listening to my music collection on shuffle, a great tune by Bonnie “Prince” Billy came up that I wanted to share with my partner. To my surprise his album Down The Road is not available on Spotify, because Oldham, in his own words, is "offended by Spotify’s existence".

MIND-BLOWING FACT: If you made $250,000 a day since Pedro Pascal was born you still wouldn’t make as much money as oil giant Equinor did in just the last 3 months with £4.8 billion in profit

I was extremely honoured to have created the backdrop artwork for the magnificent @nadineshah Glastonbury performance earlier today. Of course you won’t have seen it on the BBC as they didn’t show any of it.

The right to a trial by a jury of your peers is a fundamental part of the UK legal system.

To take this away would be yet another nail in the coffin of democracy.

At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating
"I support
Palestine.
Action
must be taken."
My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

YouTube video by South London Vinyl Alliance Problematic - Electrify Me (Batteries Included Mix)

I saw Marie Davidson do an incredible DJ set at Glastonbury, and there was a tune that stood out with the lyric of "electrify me". I couldn’t find the track, so I tried contacting her, and today they emailed me back with the details! Now I just need to find this as a digital download of it.

What’s the odds on “a major social network has an antisemitic AI built into it” being raised by lobby with PM’s spokesperson today? A special DCMS committee? Ofcom launching an emergency investigation? Seems it’s so hard to comprehend that people will just focus on more manageable screaming at BBC.

JD Twitch's family urgently seek accessible housing after cancer diagnosis · News ⟋ RA The legendary Scottish DJ revealed that he has been diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumour last week.

Very sad to learn that JD Twitch, one half of the legendary DJ duo that is Optimo, has been diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumour. His family have asked for urgent help to find accessible accommodation in Glasgow.

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read:

“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

Ban on Palestine Action to take effect after legal challenge fails Group will become first direct action protest group to be banned under Terrorism Act after unsuccessful action Being a member of, or showing support for, Palestine Action will be a criminal offence from Saturday after a last-minute legal challenge to suspend the group’s proscription under anti-terrorism laws failed. A ban on Palestine Action, which uses direct action to mainly target Israeli weapons factories in the UK and their supply chain, was voted through by parliament this week but lawyers acting for its co-founder Huda Ammori had sought to prevent it taking effect.
