Right then, many thanks to @holette for the splendid selection of bleeps n grooves. Next Sunday, as is the custom around these parts, will be our mid- #SummerVortex, for which, as always, we'd like you to submit one (or two, if they're short) of your favourite live performance recordings. A dropbox will soon open up to collect them and @akx will be on hand to blend them for playback next Sunday 20:00 BST (GMT+1).
Until then, good to see everyone, hoping for a fine week for y'all!

Stop #Palantir #bullying #OurNHS and public institutions

We call on Andy #Burnham, Keir #Starmer, and the #UK #Government to #terminate Palantir’s #NHS contract and make clear that UK public institutions are free to reject contracts without fear of legal intimidation.

Stop Palantir bullying our NHS and public institutions

Please join me and add your name to this emergency open letter

Unimpressed with the #Ortlieb universal repair set. The bolts are torx not allen, and getting them into the nuts is really tricky, especially since you can’t really look inside the bag to align spanner to provide resistance

Very interesting article about effects of different models of dealing with #cannabis

More research needed but indications that commercialised arrangements can lead to higher use - advertising etc

Looks like the Uruguay model of regulation is better

Right then, many thanks to @room2skank for the spacious and stomping selection. We return next Sunday, same time, same place, same hashtag, with @holette in the chair. Until then, as always, thanks for stopping by, good to see everyone, hoping for a mighty fine week for y'all!

#ListeningClub #music

So this was All Hail Bright Futures by And So I Watch You From Afar, hailing from Belfast.

The departed festival was a 2 day affair called Portals, held at Hackney EartH for its final years

I hope I've thrown something into the mix here :-)
