It's Bandcamp friday when they pass all payment to the musicians. I've been part of the Storm Thieves and Loscoe State Opera, so today is a good day to dip into my songwriting!

I've been in Leicestershire's Horse Thieves, Rain Garden and The Storm Thieves. Then, for 23 years to 2019 in Derbyshire's LoscoeStateOpera.org. All available elsewhere. Here are solo songs and instrumentals, rough home recordings, and studio recordings.

A routine reminder that it's always a good idea to boycott #Substack.

We have long known that it platforms and profits from Nazi publications. And now: #manosphere influencers with multiple accusations of serious crimes... so much so that there is a dedicated Wikipedia page about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_the_Tate_brothers

No problem for #Substack though! They happily take a 10% cut from all paid subscriptions.

There are many great alternatives to SS: Ghost, Buttondown, beehiiv, Patreon... no more excuses

Palantir isn’t a healthcare company. It’s a defence and surveillance firm owned by Peter Thiel, wired into Trump’s White House and its ICE deportation machine. Doctors and the BMA warned against handing sensitive health infrastructure to them.

BREAKING: We're taking the government to court over Palantir

Peter Thiel's surveillance firm is embedded in the NHS. Wes Streeting won't show us the briefings - so we have launched a legal challenge.

Do JS devs know enough about security? It can be overlooked in their "full stack" forest.

“The majority …within JavaScript environments, … of software developers using bundler tools … (or) poorly configured external plug-ins or scripts … broadcasting … sensitive keys…"

Security credentials inadvertently leaked on thousands of websites — New Scientist

Researchers identified nearly 10,000 websites where API keys could be found, exposing details that could let attackers access sensitive information

I always donate to these… because it can and does make a difference.

Let's save this vital piece of Bolivian Amazon

There’s an area of the Bolivian Amazon that scientists call a vital bridge between worlds. Here jaguars and pumas roam, maned wolves run, and shy tapirs gently forage – an entire ecosystem of species

Just sent to my local NHS in an attempt to persuade them away from Palantir!

Say no to Palantir in the NHS

NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir - fight back

No to Palantir

Slightly hilarious desperation? Might Europeans want a broader media palette than the proscribed and cheaply franchised American conveyer-belt hegemony? Oh, I think so!
