It’s that #BandcampFriday again, I see? Fancy some cello/guitar/samples free improv? Of course you do! There was a definite kosmische vibe in the room for this one, I hope that comes over in the recording (the bit from ca.18’ in particular goes deep). peternagle.bandcamp.com/album/over-t...

Mind you, I was convinced a couple of weeks ago when Mrs Flood referred to herself as “the Guvner” that she was the Master, so what do I know?

I’m increasingly convinced that “mavity” is a major plot point. Yesterday morning I also suddenly thought: what if the fugitive doctor is the 16th #DoctorWho?

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Beyond the Fringe (Complete) YouTube video by The Miller Tapes

Always worth watching the full Beyond the Fringe 'Aftermyth of War' sketch (not just the famous 'futile gesture' moment) which starts at 50' here. It amazes me that this was written just 15 years after the war ended.

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

A twitter post with 4 photos with extremely small writing. Above it text saying Jennifer Black @Black63Jen... 12m Replying to @Black63Jenny : Over 500 UNISON members, including many trans comrades, have already signed this letter. Solidarity bit.ly/4jXp3QJ

A twitter post saying the below I've sent a letter to @unisontheunion's General Secretary urging our union to take a stronger stance against the Supreme Court ruling. Are you a UNISON member? Believe our union should stand firm against attacks on the trans community? Sign below bit.ly/4jXp3QJ Below it is some photos of text in indecipherable small writing.

Over 500 Unison members have signed a letter showing their dissatisfaction with Unison leadership over their initial statement following the Supreme Court Ruling

Everything you need to know about the trans Supreme Court case What it said, what it didn't, and what happens next.

Very long read but a comprehensive breakdown of what the Supreme Court judgement *actually* says, why the current situation represents a comprehensive failure of political leadership and what might happen next. #TransRightsAreHumanRights open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

The supreme court didn’t rule on the definition of ‘a woman’ – this is what its judgment does mean | Sam Fowles The judges had to interpret the law as set down by parliament. But it must be remembered this is not an abstract debate; it concerns real people, says barrister Sam Fowles

Not to say all is tickety-boo (it clearly isn’t), but the ruling doesn’t mean what the terfs would like you to believe it means: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
