Keeping my space toots at @astrodad as an experiment in self-moderation :)

FREE PHOTO ID FOR STUDENTS!
This year photo ID presents a new barrier for young people and students to get their voices heard.
So we've teamed up with @CitizenCard to offer FREE voter ID that can be used in next month's Local Elections.

Unashamed to tell you I bought the album "Nostalgia" by @poundshopboys - 6 left in stock on @Bandcamp : https://poundshopboys.bandcamp.com/album/nostalgia-gone-viral-edition
(Yes, it's Pet Shop Boys cover band doing childrens TV theme tunes, and the brains behind @HackerTDog is involved!)...@NedRaggett may be interested.
Aah, it's a more recent track for an anniversary album, written by someone from Death Cab For Cutie. Makes more sense now.
How is it I got to this point in life without hearing this wonderful song by... The Monkees? "Me and Magdalena" could be Fleet Foxes, Sufjan Stevens or any of those acoustic pop types.

There's also a faster version that, again, would have been a 90s indie banger.

NEW | A short, sharp tribute to Paul O'Grady/a warning about obits erasing his politics...
SAVAGED
The media tributes to Paul O'Grady (and his alter-ego Lily Savage) strip him of his politics and smooth away the sharp edges that enhanced his greatness

To kill a French vampire, you need to drive a baguette through their heart. That might sound easy, but I assure you, it's painstaking.

Morning!
Your reminder…
That election rigging doesn’t come more obvious than this:

As I’ve said before: when the director of Children of Men was asked how he made his future fascist Britain feel so grounded and authentic, he said he looked at the country in 2005 and asked himself - what would happen if it continued just like this, on this precise trajectory. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1639544703975837699
Well at least they'll have secure, warm accommodation and meals provided... right? Right?
Older versions can be installed. Mar 2 reverts the home screen but the music page is still broken and tiny.

Somebody mentioned #Spotify trying to be more like Instagram, and *bam* overnight they have completely destroyed the mobile app. The interface has become unusable, presenting me with tracks that I have to say "Not Interested" in rather than the helpful selections and excellent Daily Mixes that came up before. These cards have to be swiped through like the crappy social media apps. Font size has broken too.
It's happening! Starship orbital test within the fortnight!

Introducing the “Indictment Cocktail”: White Russian beneath a thin orange skin and fake gold leaf garnish. It’s my new favorite drink! 🤣
Just seen a stunning advert for showing the daily struggles of a teenager with #ASD. Incredibly close to our situation, so had me hooked. Was surprised to find the product was for Vanish stain remover, the point being that clothing is often an important comfort #Autism. So caring for those fabrics is important.
Well done #Vanish
Got the kiddo a drum kit for her birthday (electronic, obv, for reasons of preserving sanity) and the first thing she does is bang out the intro to reggae classic "Girlie Girlie".

*waves at all the wonderful trans people with whom I get to chat and interact. I'm so glad you are here. I wish you were as welcome everywhere, and hope that day will come soon.*
Yay, was just wondering the other day when we were going to get another #WesAnderson flick! #AsteroidCity coming out in June.

Lots of demos from across UCL about #research and contributions of #TechnicalStaff
Have dropped off of involvement the last year or so but we have a showcase for UCL's technical staff in the cloisters today.
Probably not quite your area but are you here @eLearningTechie ?
