albums from the last week. That new ddwy EP is exceptional. Think I need to revisit the Bullion album we didn't click with it first time but the last tune 101 Dalmatians is fantastic.

Still incredibly sad that this months was the last issue of The Skinny. I'm not saying it's my fault but it also happens to be the only issue which features me in the form of the back of my stupid bald head - so it's possible I could have put a curse on it... www.theskinny.co.uk/intersection...

Finally watched Everybody to Kenmure Street yesterday and as expected was a tearjerker. Q&A after was interesting but one thing that struck me was director saying he didn't think networks and communities are as strong as they were then to react/resist far right for example. Aren't they?

Been thinking a fair bit recently about the dichotomy between online/in-person community/organising/doing stuff in general. I feel like post-covid there's a belief that "in-person" organising, meet-ups, events or whatever are always superior.

Seeing some guy sharing an optimal listening seasons for different Grouper albums chart and instantly following everyone in the comments. This is why I will never delete social media. Incredibly important work.

How possible is it in the current UK socioeconomic landscape to quit your job and make money entirely off just just cutting about, pottering, writing about some stuff maybe sometimes? Asking for myself.

Been a Stars of the Lid and a Bicep - Bicep kind of week. Bicep - Glue I'm afraid to say remains an absolute banger and should go down as history as such despite techno boy guru associations. Smerz You got time I got money has been stuck in my head all week n all Unsure about new Gorillaz album..

Albums from the past week. Think I might have overlooked that Huerco S. album (although the weird mumbly vocal track I'm sorry to say is rubbish). That Ulla album is real nice will be tucking into more of their discography for sure.

I've been using last fm since September 2011, almost half my life. I just hit 100,000 scrobbles. These are my most listened to albums of all time! Obviously doesn't take into account records, CDs, countless hours of radio, pre-last fm emo phase - but reckon it's a pretty good representation of me.

Happy Friday 13th! To celebrate the success of the UK establishment's continued "clarity" on trans exclusion, I am delighted to share a major update to my blog post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?" The biggest change is an entirely new section on harms caused. ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/w...

It really does feel good to see there is still some semblance of justice left. I know people which might not go to prison as a result of this. But can't help feel that those who brought about this should be held accountable for the harm they've caused www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This is absolutely horrific stuff. I shouldn't be surprised anymore but just makes all the responding to consultations and pushing my employer to resist the bullshit new guidance seem incredibly pointless when the government are just going to push ahead anyway.

I know there's ~a lot of other things happening~ but I wrote a blog for Basic Income Network Scotland last month which I guess could be viewed as "Basic Income-maxxing" existing basic income-like proposals or targeted basic income schemes to bring about a full BI sooner cbin.scot/2026/01/23/t...

some good discourse on kimchi-tiktok today cancelling some white dude who's claiming to have invented the hot pot shot cube. Nothing like a bit of good old fashioned cultural appropriation as a pallet cleanser to distract me from the global peadophile ring

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.

Derek kens "Should we really be placing ourselves in a constant state of ‘nothing can ever happen’ out of political malice? Seems an unnecessary resignation to misery and blind pessimism." Thing that annoys me most when speaking about BI is this very attitude www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2580...

A monthly basic income for artists working in Scotland? What a marvellous idea
After the success of the Basic Income for the Arts scheme in Ireland, it is a no-brainer that Scotland follows the same path, writes Derek McArthur.

sorry to telegraph share on main but I couldn't resist a possible hate read of this thinking it would be an "artists could have UBI only if they stick to their silly art and no politics!" argument but hilariously they come out in favour of it with one condition - that there are no conditions.

Been waiting for this one for ages. Found the part about "the bouncer noise" communicating something very specific without clear words especially interesting. Would say the Scottish/UK version sounds something more akin to "can you make your way to door please" but sounds very similar

I quite often miss the glory days of pandemic twitter when I used to ramble about basic income and also posted dumb music memes but need to grow up and accept those days are over and start writing boring substacks which no one will read and ultimately won't progress my career or make me happy
