From one xeno to another...

For the evening crew pissed off about the collapse of progressive UK politics; we can’t get it back by doing the same things. Come talk to us about building something new instead. https://join.slack.com/t/somethingnewuk/shared_invite/enQtODYwODg4Mzk2NjExLTJmOTc0MjQwNzFmMzE4OGZhMjM4OTM3OGQ0MGMyYjAwZmJiZjVhZWFjYmRhYzFmNGQzNDZiYzIzYjZmNGZhNTU

If you'd like to talk about Something New and what we're building, I've opened up a Slack workspace for it. Join at https://join.slack.com/t/somethingnewuk/shared_invite/enQtODYwODg4Mzk2NjExLTJmOTc0MjQwNzFmMzE4OGZhMjM4OTM3OGQ0MGMyYjAwZmJiZjVhZWFjYmRhYzFmNGQzNDZiYzIzYjZmNGZhNTU.

There was only one shirt choice for today.

(In all this, once again, despite being an immensely safe seat, Horsham still hasn't declared. We're like the anti-Sunderland)

And to all those people thinking "let's build a new party" PAUSE RIGHT THERE. There are plenty out there, not just us. Help them. But build something DIFFERENT. Don't build the same thing again with the same limitations.

I honestly don't know what the fuck we're doing, but someone has to build something different. And with your help maybe we will.

Take all that anger, all that frustration, forget the old parties, and let's work together to build the future. Join in with Something New. It’ll be hard, but apparently we don’t have a choice. https://somethingnew.org.uk #GeneralElection2019

What the fuck Britain.

Voted tactically (rather than for who I *really* want) today for the first time in years because FUCK THE TORIES.

Happy 20th birthday to Vapour Technology, the company @wamonite and I formed, and which set us on our paths to where we are now.

Yes iPhone, I’ve contacted my mum to wish her a happy birthday, will you PLEASE stop nagging me to do it?

Oh, great, adding to its ever expanding feature set, Keybase now has spam.

Might be time to call this one a day.

By this I mean long intros that build. Obviously a single chord intro can be amazing (“fight for your right to party”) but I’m looking for intros that are an experience in themselves...

So far, Lazarus (12” version) by the Boo Radleys, I Will Possess Your Heart by Death Cab for Cutie, and Set Guitars To Kill by And So I Watch You From Afar. Many more to add of course, just getting started.

Making a playlist of my favourite introductions. Send suggestions!

Passengers for the Southern Rail website should move to the front half of the packet, as this website has a short buffer.

(I think it's the wrong URL actually, not their site, but it struck me as amusing)
