I’m pretty looking forward to the new Hard House Euphoria mix album. Think their marketing could do more to make it clear that it’s a fully new DJ mix album and not a re-issue of the 2000 classic CD but it looks good! #edm #hardhouse #Music
Polanski rage-baits on social media without thinking, which suggests he would be problematic in a position of power (acting without thinking or habing fully understood something) and refusing to apologise just comes off as arrogant and entitled. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Polanski says guillotine re-post was mistake but refuses to apologise
The Green leader re-posted a photo of a man wearing a guillotine t-shirt and the name Nigel.

Careless “mistakes” like this by the Greens massively undermines their credibility, gives Reform an edge to pick at, and makes Polanski continue to look just like all the other whiney whinging moaning point-scoring politicians. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #ukpol

Many social media platforms have an algorithm problem. However, all social media platforms have a People problem.
Hard to take a Prime Minister deposit whose online posting is restricted to monolithic toxicity platforms. I appreciate here is, functionality, also monolithic and rapidly on the path to terminal toxicity but still better than the Other Places for now.
Remember when the Greens were about their own message rather than not-being-the-other-people? They’re losing their edge. Burnham has them rattled. thats probably not a good thing.

I'm tempted to do the math on how long online services tend to last and do it retroactively, like "if the playstation 1 had existed in a time when digital only games were possible, Sony would have deleted all your games back in 2003"
I really, really, miss when I thought Kier Starmer was just incompetent before he revealed himself to be both incompetent and wildly malicious.
I am horrified at the noises coming out of the UK government about social media bans for under 16s, consequential “age checks” for anyone else to access the “banned” services and the alarming chatter about trying to ban VPNs.
What podcast apps are folk using that area cross platform, sync between devices, and are not Pocket Casts? #podcast
My wife caught wind of iOS 26.4 pushing for age verification for its users. So we stayed back on iOS 18 because of liquid ass but this bollocks has us going to leave Apple all together.
So turns out Ace3DS+ flashcart used in a DSi will randomly crash while in sleep mode. nds-bootstrap via twilight menu has zero issues with sleep but does have some compatibility issues with some games. #retrogaming
“Andy Burnham vows to 'save' Labour” Cool story, bro.. but you miss the point. The general public couldn’t give a rat’s arse about Labour, it’s themselves, their families, and their ability to get by day to day that they want “saving”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

Look, it’s really rather simple. We have a new box on the ballot papers that reads [ ] None of the above If None wins then all the candidates are barred from running again anywhere. Ever. No taksies backsies. If None gets a majority 100% of MP get ejected and barred. Only way to clean house

From the figures available so far it appears that despite the headlines and the sweeping "victories" for Reform they have only actually received around 27% of the actual votes across the nation. Good news: more people reject Reform than support Bad news: FPTP means they think they have a mandate
I am upset and angry at @greenparty.org.uk , @leedsgreenparty.bsky.social , and @zackpolanski.bsky.social . Their shameful and frankly undemocratmic and insulting way they handled their pretend-candidates in areas they didn’t intent to actually care about have handed reform seats.
@leedsgreenparty.bsky.social you got enough votes that it made a material difference to the result despite putting in zero effort. As a result, you effectively let reform in. Imagine if you’d actually bothered. Unforgivable.
Alarmingly strong results for Reform so far.. I kinda blame the Greens for taking such a back-seat approach in areas they actually needed to put the work in to. so many people just want an alternative and the Greens stood by and let Reform sweep that up :(
Did a vote. Voted for the least-shitty option. Mostly to keep Reform out. Every single option was crap. Every candidate or their party was detestable. Even the Greens were abysmal (see earlier posts and replies).
