I never said you aren’t getting fucked, just implied nobody ever wants to kiss you when doing it
OK, I mean I guess if I looked like that l'd also assume nobody else was having sex either

nope, not clicking that, or giving a link (it’s the guardian), because I’ll probably have a stroke if the article isn’t just the word “capitalism”

Last year, the Guardian published a piece about your ambition to use Al to enhance your live performances. Fans expressed concerns. Is it still ongoing? trev_trev A hundred percent. When people think of Al they maybe think of this conscious brain making all the music while I'm sitting there being a puppet. I see it as a collaboration. Say I'm in a park and there's dog sounds and a bus going by. Al might identify the key or some natural rhythm that's happening and potentially shape the music, which will help me have more time to be human. At the moment, with what's going on in the States and the Middle East, we're making such a horrendous job of existing, so maybe Al is like the next stage of evolution to help us make sense of everything. It's not the devil. I'm still gonna make music and it's gonna be great.

I am a particularly weird kind of nerd so (after Virus) the highlight of last night’s Deltron 3030 anniversary gig was Dan stopping the set to pay tribute to Mark Bell, who also worked on the first album

I thought I was history’s biggest Bell/LFO fan but I did not know this wtf

btw @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app you guys need to give users the ability to ACTUALLY lock our accounts to both external and internal users - and you need to do it ASAP - before the whole platform just becomes a data mine for US agencies that are building lists of "enemies of the state"

and he’s clearly had enough of Ezra Klein’s shit
What are we to make of a man who called for the execution of the American president, and then was executed himself? What are we to make of an NFL that, on one hand, encourages us to "End Racism," and, on the other, urges us to commemorate an unreconstructed white supremacist? And what of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk's death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don't know. But the most telling detail in Klein's column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself.

screengrab from the guardian: Videos circulating on social media showed an attender at the student event on Wednesday asking Charlie Kirk: "Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?" In response, Kirk said: "Too many," as the crowd clapped. In a follow-up question, the attender asked: "Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?" Kirk replied: "Counting or not counting gang violence?" Seconds later, Kirk could be seen struck in the neck as he falls back in his chair.

to be fair they do it mention it, but tucked away in the very final paragraph, in a way that feels like they’re fucking embarrassed to even suggest it
But if you want to support artists more directly, you can buy vinyl, or digital copies of the music through iTunes or similar services, or pay directly through Bandcamp or SoundCloud.
