This memoir by @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social is a fascinating read that I picked up after @clairhotgem.bsky.social mentioned it in her newsletter. The piece about Trilogie de Mort really resonated with me as it has helped me a lot in dealing with stress and anxiety in the last year

Cover of Strange things are happening by Richard Norris

Hey! You a fan of the whole Bristol UK shadowy 90s psych/drone scene? You know, Movietone, Flying Saucer Attack, Amp, Crescent etc. Well Dave Mercer, the guy behind the really great Light, just emailed me to say he's put up a 1998 single on Bandcamp with more new/revisited work soon to follow...

First put it on while sat on a train yesterday, winding through the Sussex hills with a couple of tears gently rolling along too - not for any deeper reason other than it's a natural response to the music. Really is something special.

I might have missed this if it hadn't been for @clairhotgem.bsky.social. Beautiful album - spiritual, experimental, unlike anything else I've heard this year. It would have been released on Optimo but thankfully Invisible Inc were able to step in as this deserves a wider audience.

Trump loves the poorly educated. Why? Because they vote for him. If we look for best practice in education we should look to the country which tops the international tables for literacy & numeracy.

Actually mad how much the older Tony Blair has a Brink’s-Mat face. If you ignore the clothes and voice just look at his face…Bar owner in Gibraltar (‘Gib!’ Etc) Cutting up kilos of coke in the kitchen surrounded by industrial/‘catering’ cash and carry tins of beans, jamon and ‘1000 bags’ tea etc.

I'm Jewish. I condemn genocide. I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide. The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.

🔊 on An early memory popped up for me recently I recalled a time when I had painted an egg to roll down the park hill with the local kids on Easter Sunday. All the other children had painted pretty pastel coloured eggs,mine was painted black 😄 🖤 Original Art & audio by me No Ai was used #corvids

Saw yet another racist say "knife crime has exploded" so I actually checked. There's this graph of hospitalisations for knife assaults (obviously a more accurate picture than arrests/convictions which change with policy) - this goes up to 2018, then the more recent data is in the link in next post.

This is lovely and helping me through the day. Not only was he a great DJ, he was a lovely fella too. Used to send me Optimo mix CDs they gave out at the club, interviewed him about the rave he put on for the film Beats and other bits and he was brilliant. The true spirit of Acid House and punk rock
