When you manage a band, during the off-season, you can trade your musicians for musicians in other bands to try to improve the chemistry or to get a better balance of instruments or trade seasoned veterans for up-and-coming youngsters to try to rebuild the band into a future powerhouse.

Here's a video I made using bits of Hans Richter's Filmstudie from 1925 (and a cool wave physics documentary from the 70s).

I am sadly going to have to boycott the new cafe before I’ve even gone in.

A twee coffee shop sign that suggests walking past and not buying a coffee is a bad decision.

Not assembly, but the Deputy Head at my secondary went class to class doing his own (ie his own choices) Desert Island Discs. He managed to go from mildly disliked to actively hated in the course of just one morning.

Out today! My remix (as Basic Design) of Boy Bingo by Count Jaakola. This might be one of my favourites that I've ever done (it helps working with such great source material). It's a long one. bfan.link/boy-bingo-ba... Will hopefully be up on Bandcamp at some point soon so you can actually buy it.

Consumers talk about vast repositories of “content” that they have a right to access. But the creators of that work do need to be recompensed. And nobody has come up with a way of explaining that to users. Because it sounds worse than “it’s all free! Kind of!”

This cop show about the ill-matched partnership between a rule-breaking rookie and his jaded, world-weary boss is becoming increasingly predictable.

I have spent weeks shadowing the RNLI and I can tell you, they do it out of nothing more than compassion. Wrote about the heroes I've met over the years in this free-to-read post. nicolakelly.substack.com/p/the-rnli-a...

JK Rowling putting up a disclaimer about having mold in her castle in the FAQs section of her website is satisfying. She was so bothered about the mold she learned how to blur her backgrounds, now this. Bullies are such pathetic creatures.

1. Is J.K. Rowling transphobic? ^

2. Has J.K. Rowling been cancelled? ^

3. Does J.K. Rowling have cancer? ^

4. Is Beira's Place anti-rights as highlighted in the recent Amnesty International report? ^

5. Is J.K. Rowling homophobic? ^

6. Why was J.K. Rowling in the Epstein files? ^

7. Does J.K. Rowling have mold in her house? ^

Matt has made a lovely thing here with this brilliant project and you absolutely shouldn’t be put off that I submitted some photographs for it. If nothing else it should encourage you (and me) to put more stickers on things.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Since @matthewjashton.bsky.social won’t do a proper run of these, I had to reverse-engineer his design and make my own.
