I bought an Omnichord! I’ve wanted one of these for the longest time - I was always looking up second hand ones on eBay as a teenager - and finally bought one of the new ones they started making recently!! It’s beautiful!

Happy birthday to David Wojnarowicz, groundbreaking artist, writer & activist, who raged raged raged against inequity and injustice at every turn. If he hadn’t died of AIDS, like so many leading lights of his generation, he would have been 72 years old today (thread)

Penda’s Fen has only been broadcast by the BBC a few times since its first transmission in 1974 and we’ve seen a lot of excitement about its appearance on BBC iPlayer last week This week’s edition of #ThePortal opens with two archive articles on the unsettling TV drama buff.ly/8aQETZr

The intro is TERRIBLE, especially. A YA Doctor Who spinoff is a good idea but they could’ve at least made it good

Ahh interesting! I just figured it had maybe timed out or expired in some way. Luckily it’s backdated my scrobbles so that’s a relief at least!

Oh no, Spotify unlinked itself from my last.fm account so my listens of the new Charli XCX album went unscrobbled. This is maybe a problem only I have ever faced

if starmer is going to be remembered at all, and it's a big if, it should be for being a deeply authoritarian and nasty streak of piss who enthusiastically supported genocide overseas and worked tirelessly to make the lives of trans people worse all to appease a handful of brain rotted fascists

I was convinced to finally give climbing another go yesterday, after trying it & not liking it a few years ago. We tried a different place, in an old swimming pool, which was very cool & also empty! And I enjoyed it!

A cause for national shame. This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI+ rights across Europe. Until 2015, the UK was top. We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe. We're now near Albania.

Sad to hear this. Tony was from Co Durham, and was once a guest on my old BBC Tees radio show - I'd played the theme from 'Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads' so many times that it seemed rude not to ask! He was a total gent with so many great stories. Lovely bloke. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVXk...

It’s like the “gay best friend” character in Heroes who is never shown to be gay, or I think even called gay when he’s bullied, even though he’s obviously playing the archetype. It’s amazing how afraid major studios were of mainstream representation back then, & what we take for granted now

Went to see roller derby today (brill), so obviously watched Whip It tonight, and it’s so funny how weirdly heterosexual it is, lots of male gaze and a romance tacked on to what’s otherwise and extremely gay film about cool women. The past truly is a foreign country

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

So few apps now actually include a genuine changelog when you go to update them - just a generic thing about fixing bugs etc. Big shout out to the few apps that actually do tell you what the update includes - weirdly Chrome is really consistent with this?

It’s making me weirdly emotional, to be able to go back and look at shops that are no longer there, buildings that have been modified or demolished. My grandma is even walking my dog ffs, and they both died over a decade ago.

It’s interesting how far back you can go on Google Maps now, back to 2008 or 2009 in a lot of places near me - amazing to be able to get an (almost) complete street view of my local area when I was a teenager

It’s stunning how absolutely dreadful the opening titles & theme for the Doctor Who spinoff Class are. Like some sort of Bastille-lite 2017 slop. It’s wild. The show itself is decently fun but it’s amazing the opening made it to screen youtu.be/8cD2HMYO8Cw?...

Today I learned that Le Tigre produced a song for Christina Aguilera in 2010 which features a guest appearance by Peaches. It's called My Girls, and just sort of sounds like her doing a slightly soulless cover of an unreleased Le Tigre track, which I guess is kinda exactly what it is

Morgan McSweeney and his downfall reveal what the Starmer project always was. A project defined by kneeling before wealth, seeking power for its own sake, ridding Labour of any principle or morality. It is an irredeemably corrupt project which was always doomed.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

The design is beautiful, though I’ve only seen it the once. I’ve watched Mon Oncle and Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday multiple times though, I think they’re maybe a little less meandering from what I remember, and very funny
