People here won’t want to hear it, but… 🇺🇸 Bluesky is ultimately US as well. 🇩🇪 Mastodon is somewhat decentralised and based in Germany.

I’m *not* saying to quit Bluesky. I am gently suggesting maybe simultaneously giving Mastodon another shot if you’re not over there already.

Don't do the praying thing, but thoughts and hope I can do. Bad enough being an adult when a pet gets ill, so hopefully it's (relatively?) good news for your daughter

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Have a metatarsal

Fold @fold.fm · 1d

Also, we are deliberately shooting ourselves in both feet by:

1) Only releasing music (incl this EP) on Bandcamp & Ampwall—no streaming platforms esp Spotify, Apple & Amazon

2) Having deleted our Instagram, FaceBook & X profiles

With loss of visibility comes loss of income but things must change.

We are a little bit excited about our forthcoming EP, 10 Past Midnight. It is our most meta release to date for sure. One track is currently streamable over at Bandcamp where you can pre-order the release if you like.

Please do check it out.

Never trust a Tory. On anything.

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

Goody-bag merch from Tory Conference branded "When Labour negotiates Britian loses" and signed "Kemi Badenoch".

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term.

They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?
