America, the only country in the world to turn daily national tragedy into to a multi billion dollar industry.
Switched my location to the US to read something and now I'm getting Instagram adverts for bulletproof classroom doors. Beyond parody.

Thom is a wonderful human and if you have an interest in #post-rock, #electronic #drone and loops, then this will be right up your street. It works beautifully at very high or low volume and is both minimalist and maximalist with so much detail and layers.
Stunning artwork to boot.

SUUUUUUUPER happy to be releasing ‘Rewilding’ today. This album of mine has been a long time coming and seeing it out in the wild (no pun intended) is glorious. It’s all here : thomasragsdalemusic.bandcamp.com/album/rewild...
Also, Happy Bandcamp Friday!

Here then are my records of 2025. Cardiacs are in 1st place and everything else is in 2nd, and then in alphabetical order because this isn't Top Of The frickin' Pops. Nor is it Spotify Wrapped. [Don't use Spotify: your clicks monetize military hardware designed to murder other human beings.]

If only we had a Labour government. They would fight big corporations on behalf of the workers.
BP to scrap paid rest breaks and most bank holiday bonuses for forecourt staff.
Changes to employee benefits would cut take-home pay by at least 6.25%.
Would exec pay and dividends be cut? No chance.
Hard-won rights eroded as corporations rule without ever being elected.
Back to Victorian times.

Overjoyed that the new @seeming.bsky.social album is out. Do yourself a favour and get a copy on Bandcamp. Support artists.
Seeming: The World
our 4th LP
This record was hard to make. It wriggled, bit, shapeshifted, ran away from home, yelped from bad dreams, scared off friends and family, and refused to play nice. But kicking and screaming, it is born today. Welcome to the World.

Correcting an earlier error - “You’ll have to prize it from my cold dead hands” was not, in fact, a design suggestion.
This is the most horrific trophy I’ve ever seen. It looks like a cursed object found in a desert crypt.

There is nothing ‘centre’ about this Labour government. In any other era they would be seen as far right.
If the other side is offering Coke and your strategy is to say “no no, you really want Diet Coke,” the voters will pick Coke, every time.
You cannot defeat an insurgent right by tacking to the center.

It’s because it’s shit. Wildly over-hyped shit.
“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption
