2025 was my favourite year for music in a long long time so I made a little playlist of my tracks from my albums of the year. All the usual genres are there: shoejazz, nightmare pop, uk slime et al open.spotify.com/playlist/5Qm...

After much deliberation, im submitting an extended abstract to Global Communication and Social Change Division. Even emailed the division chair and they confirmed it's a good fit Dhttps://www.icahdq.org/mpage/GCSC_CFP

Walked out of Frankenstein last night, couldn't stand another minute. Is his Frankenstein a carbon copy of Shape of Water? Hasn't he been telling this story all his directorial life?

I dislike how you can see what songs on an album get listened to the most and what ones get overlooked (and the discperancy is often millions to one). Basically it's singles that make it on to shitty playlists for normies versus the hidden gems and album tracks that label said will never sell

have listened to football weekly since 2011 but boycotting until this article gets redacted and actual facts about Maccabi's despicable behaviour are included @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social let's not stand for Zionists in our media

i tend to resist online arguing esp with journalists i have previously admired but this article is utter trash. why has he not mentioned Maccabi's racist & rapist chants? the reason for their ban is their hate speech, nothing else. @barneyronay.bsky.social's www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans is a terrible decision – and a depressing one | Barney Ronay

The idea that barring the Israeli club’s supporters from Villa Park will de-escalate a volatile situation just doesn’t stand up

If you're in London today, then there's plenty of opportunities to show Mr Trump that he's not welcome. If you miss the march, then come along to the rally in Parliament Square at 5 instead and make some noise.

Blimey, it's horrible. I dont like drone shots in photography contests - hardly takes skill, it's just a tool. But yes this is a good shot for environmental advocacy

Yes although currently looking at social media in UK. Funny enough I was just reading yday Danny Miller on Smartphones & Aging in Ireland. Where our two primary interests intersect. They have a whole series: uclpress.co.uk/book-series/... forgive me if you are familiar.

I will need more time to investigate as I don't fully understand what this is; a slow, less intense view of Bluesky maybe? I like the UI, more like a role playing game. I wonder what's your motivation for this? (Not a testing question, I'm down with it!)

I messaged them. Getting the socials right absolutely key. They need to invest here

Dont you think they open a bluesky account? Seems like they are missing a trick here

No worries! Woke up today and was like, im going to give bluesky a go : )

Received an email from Your Party @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social + @zarahsultana.bsky.social new party with links to Tw, IG, TK + FB. Surprised they are not launching on BlueSky. Also, i think we have to start calling it "X" now

Dr. Craig Ryder 🚴🏾‍♂️ @drryder.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Yeah I feel that. But social media got overlooked by anthro in an absurd way (like yes, cultural phenomena is multifaceted but all of it is refracted through SM in some way). I suspect it will be the same for AI so best to get ahead of it (impossible oc). What topics are being overlooked rn?

I live in New Cross / Deptford in South East London. I heard it be compared to Bronx in NYC. Vibes here are still strong but it's so noticeable different to much of the city. Following you for updates : )

nice mix. reckon the world lit bit could be quite a lot of heavy lifting. could you sub in postcolonial lit to make it a bit more easy going? then again american music is going to give you a big dose of postcolonial thought (hopefully)

Congrats on the new article. I'm always interested in journal publication choices. Why did you choose Journal of Anthro + Ethno? Good experience?
