For the Vince Clarke sounds, nice! I know the Model D and can make lots of good noises too. And I’m still a fan of the Arturia Brutes which you can get for cheap.

URGH what a PITA. 😫

What sort of sound are you looking for Roberto?

Amanda is severely immunosuppressed. Vaccines don’t protect her.

The antibodies that could? - Never funded

So while the world “moved on,” she’s still living in isolation.

This is what “Living with Covid” still means in 2026.

Yep. And their power buttons will be hidden somewhere hard to reach too. 🙄

This and Asimov’s Laws are sadly lacking from modern robotics. 😬

Large, diverse crowd marches in a Pride protest, holding a rainbow banner that reads “#L WITH THE T.” People carry trans and Pride flags and handmade signs.

LGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people remain underrepresented in media, overlooked in research and excluded from decision-making.

#LesbianVisibilityWeek exists to change that.

This year, we’re spotlighting stories that centre their voices and push back on that erasure. Starting here 👇

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.

First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

I’m sat in the back of a venue waiting to play, student comes up and slags off the band I’m playing with for 20mins. I smile sweetly and nod throughout. They eventually stop, I say “Nice to meet you” then walk directly onstage and start the gig with the rest of the band.

Text that reads: The International Olympic Committee’s recent decision to reintroduce ‘sex testing’ for athletes is more likely to exclude women identified as female at birth than trans women, experts have said, as opposition to the policy change grows. Athletes, governments and experts have been objecting to the genetic sex testing that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) plans to reintroduce – including the scientist who originally identified the SRY gene that the tests check for.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Denmark ran their entire country on renewables for all of March, just Wind and Solar.

If the UK can't manage full renewables by the end of this parliament, it will be a catastrophic failure caused entirely by corruption.

Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.

Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable sources, proving the transition is not theoretical but already operational. The barrier is no longer technology, but political will, investment priorities, and the courage to move faster.

Fears NHS has begun review that could end free Trans+ adult healthcare NHS England has begun a review into access to hormones being used by Trans+ adults for gender affirming care, whilst also 'pausing' new prescriptions for 16 and 17-year-olds who wish to access this care

ICYMI: The review that led the health body to pause hormones for teens excluded 97% of studies on their use for trans youth

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.

THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers

To all those men asking why these women didn’t file police reports, I direct you to the Epstein files as an example. Despite police reports, in some cases depositions under oath and NO justice has been dispensed from a court of law. The women are re-traumatized and the men are free.

One of my fav things when walking Ruby is when small kids ask if they can pet her.

Why?

1) she loves kids
2) she loves pets

But mostly…

3) they ASKED. To me, it means they’re much more likely to be gentle & know how to act when petting her.

TY to all parents who teach their kiddos to ask first.

It is an EARLY SHOW in Leicester tomorrow!

"Total death toll of slavery may exceed 20 million.
We confront that history honestly not as an act of self-flagellation but because the alternative - the insistence that power never has to account for itself - is exactly logic that makes atrocities possible in every generation"
