The UK government needs to shut X down so long as the amplifier-in-chief is spreading wild disinformation. This situation has gone on way too long.

“You can’t talk about deregulation when deregulation caused the Grenfell fire in the first place.” Powerful interview with Grenfell survivor Emma O’Connor who lived on the 20th floor on Today programme. I hope this government hears what she was saying.

Labour will kill your granny and cut off their winter fuel payments. But it won't dare tax a non dom. Entirely bought & paid for by the super rich.

It's interesting that just about anything is antisemitism, but doing Nazi Salutes live on national television isn't.

Labour should look at the people they agree with and ask themselves if this is an “are we the baddies?” moment, given there’s a ridiculous mass of evidence to prove the Cass report was a stitch up. The evidence is against Labour, the folk that agree with them are…who they are… Are they the baddies?

Why is every Tory I’m unfortunate to engage with saying Reeves has “made a complete mess of it” when she’s doing EXACTLY what the her Tory predecessors did… which they blindly championed. And don’t get me stated on the centrists who are doing the opposite. Make it make sense.

No matter how much Republicans gaslight their base, science has proven that climate change is raising the risks and stakes of extreme wildfires.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Google is an increasingly poor search engine. Most of the hits seem to be Amazon. And it’s too vague when you ask a specific question.

Just deleted my Threads account. Zuckerberg has to understand we went to threads because of what Musk did to X. Now he’s sucking up to Trump he should know it is in all our powers to make Threads and eventually Instagram and Facebook a graveyard.

Referring to LGBT+ people as "mentally ill" or "abnormal" is not "a discussion." It's not "an opinion." It's not "free speech." It's not "debate." It's hatemongering, with the clear and obvious intent to mark a minority out for subjugation, torture and violence.

Thanks! Although I was thinking more of something similar to the AT8010 a handheld ‘reporters mic’ which could be plugged straight into the USBc socket on a smartphone or a device that would connect to a smartphone via its USB with a socket to connect both the AT8010 and headphones.

We currently use Zoom H4Ns to teach basic audio gathering. They come in a kit which comprises of a set of headphones and one Audio Technica AT8010 So we teach audio monitoring and the use of gain. Not cheap and cheerful but something similar in price.

@marcsettle.bsky.social hi Marc. Charles Carroll suggested I contact you. I’m the radio / audio technician at the University of Westminster and I’m looking into alternatives to Zooms etc. Specially, decent reporter mics that connect straight to smartphones.

I can never get my head around the concept of “right wing Christians” It’s an oxymoron. If you’re right wing, you’re not listening to Jesus’ teachings. If you’re racist, you’re not listening to Jesus’ teachings If you’re a homophobic or transphobic, you’re not listening to Jesus’ teachings.

We just need one businessperson to set up a streaming service which pays artists and songwriters properly. As soon as all labels and artists refuse to stream on Spotify at al, they’d soon change their approach. Without any music to stream,Spotify is nothing.

The road to victory is very simple for Labour, but involves hitting their donors and giving Rupert Murdoch the middle finger. Kill Brexit, rejoin the Single Market and hit the richest with a wealth tax, force everyone who operates in UK to pay tax here. Money for everything.

‘Wanksy’ has stuck again in my hometown These are ‘painted’ in an attempt to embarrass the council into doing something about potholes Although not everyone’s a fan: "This is coarse and vulgar. It is obscene and offensive to those of a sensitive nature." Poor delicate souls 😆
