Oh wow, would you look at that, eh? Whole thing built on theft. Absolute bastards, hope this whole thing burns tbh.

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

Trains fucked to Brighton - got to love our transport system!

Playing with this new Machine…

Were the moon landings real? I dunno after checking out this new photo evidence... Couldn't resist pissing about with the green screen at Salford Uni.

Go on. Wishlist it. I fucking dare you.

Proud to announce the next game Vampirium: 1997 Dracula is king of the United British Empire. Kill his enemies and find your own path through a minimalist immersive sim sandbox. Wishlists and retweets massively appreciated (and, you know, massively helpful) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

Oh god - imagine if Binface won. It’d be beautiful.

NEW: The Greens won’t stand in Clacton either. That’s a clean sweep. It’s essentially Nigel Farage versus a bin.

This Stewart Lee record shop crawl is just a funny, brilliant 30 minutes for vinyl and music nerds - mentions one of my fave labels @castlesinspace.bsky.social too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN2X...

Always blown away that Paul McCartney came to Saltaire and recorded these tracks just down the road from our house at Victoria Hall.

Looking forward to playing this tomorrow! As Chris says, would be great if Velan get to make a new Star Fox, seeing as this remake is getting very good reviews.

Chris Schilling@schillingc.bsky.social · last mo.

Reviewed Star Fox for Eurogamer. It's good! Largely because the original was, and it's basically the same game with nicer graphics. But enough evidence here to suggest Velan should get an opportunity to make an *actual* new entry. www.eurogamer.net/star-fox-rev...

My daughter’s created me in Tomadachi Life on Switch. I’m currently sat in a football top listening to Kraftwerk on vinyl. Too accurate.

Ah, hope! Forgotten what that was like for British politics (and politics in general).

Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 2mo ago

No longer a question of 'if' but 'when' Burnham becomes Prime Minister. Bad news for Starmer - but worse still for Reform Faragists whose scapegoating agenda has dominated UK politics for a decade. Andy brings hope and it could be catching Me for @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/burnhams-stu...

Summer 1984 for me was the different 12” mixes of Two Tribes - “Annihilation” and “Carnage” playing on a loop. Incredible record. #trevorhorn

It’s 42 years since one of the greatest number 1s of all time went to the top of the charts.

Gearing up for the Game Republic Student Showcase and Careers Conference later this week. Check out some of the submissions across our educational partner institutions 👀 🕹️ Thanks to our hosts @salforduni.bsky.social for hosting and event support!

Made a pilgrimage down the road today to Salts Mill to check out all the Hockney paintings. Finally bought a print of the classic Salts Mill painting he did too. If you haven’t been to Saltaire yet to see the amazing Hockney galleries, then you know what to do…

@cravenfaults.bsky.social brilliant tonight at Brudenell Social Club in Leeds.

I've always been a little suspicious of calling any artist 'the greatest' as though there were some league table. But as the years passed, and the work continued it's restless advance, and the way of seeing never faltered, it became clear to me that David Hockney really was ours. RIP.

Gutted - such an admirer of his art and his evolving use of tech, and living in Saltaire, we get to see his amazing paintings all over Salts Mill. His painting of Garrowby Hill and the other beautiful East Yorkshire paintings were a favourite of our family. RIP. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4...
