I had a brilliant time working with some genuinely inspiring young producers on this project, all of whom have reimagined the future of their high streets. I feel positive about the future of Greater Manchester with creative minds like theirs flourishing across the boroughs.
Concluding an epic 18 month project giving young people from Manchester a platform to express their vision of future high streets through digital art. Our documentary showcases the incredible journey our Young Producers have taken through #thisplaceofmine

It has come to my attention that I share a name with the COO of a company restricting access to wages. It ain't me folks.
First time logging into Twitter for a while and it turns out The Mashing is alive and well and appeared in San Francisco earlier in the month 💪🕹️

Watch me turn into a cardboard box📦⤵️
Serious question: what happens to all the Teslas on the road when the company collapses and the vehicle software is no longer actively supported? A @doctorow's Unauthorized Bread custom firmware scenario or millions of people driving Windows XP in car form, waiting to be hacked?
We held a Halloween party at our house on Saturday with the theme: "Night of a Thousand Gandalfs". I made a staff that lit up using a switch in the base and a little 3D printed jewel in the top. Yes, we are dorks.

Our neighbour's garden was a finalist on Channel 4's Garden of the Year this week. In an aerial shot of theirs, you could see ours, so I'm happy to say of our garden: "as seen on Channel 4's Garden of the Year".
Cannot believe it's now over 6 years since I met those lovely folks @toadrick, @mono_eric3, @netgal_emi, and @WeThrowSwitches.
The Belfast Agreement, 33 b): "[The Westminster Parliament will]...legislate as necessary to ensure the United Kingdom's international obligations are met in respect of Northern Ireland;"
Which includes safeguards supported by the ECHR. Fucking reckless policy towards NI here.
We must fully take back control of our borders. That means leaving the jurisdiction of the ECHR. #Suella4Leader
I don't know why I did this.

Played a festival at the weekend & after our set someone came & asked me loads of questions about my amp. I thought it was a bit strange but gave it a glowing review. When I asked "are you thinking of getting one?" they said "No, we're on next. I thought that was the house amp".
The sheer fucking horror that is my parents' desktop .
ALT It's my parents desktop. It's an aging Mac with a low resolution and no fewer than 1000 files littered all over the fucking place.
Whoever called it Snowflake Mountain and not Wokeback Mountain needs to have a word with themselves.
When I was getting into Max (the gateway drug to everything I do today) Darwin was one of those sage voices whose every word I clung onto. A true inspiration to me and countless others. Rest in patching, Darwin.
Had a dream I was living in John McAfee's Belize compound. Most of the time I was trying to stop my cats from killing his exotic ducks, but I could eat anything from his buffet table except his ox testicles, under penalty of death.
I'm sorry to say I've only ever designed one thing that uses the best bolt: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_bo…
