No longer participating on a platform that supports a government that disenfranchises people whilst threatening the environment, geopolitical safety and democratic process. Find me under this username most places. I’m adamrussell on bsky & on mstdn.social.

@OnlyCatAI hi - can you confirm what the amp rating is for the OnlyCat? Trying to figure out options for supplying power.

Loved up, and desperately trying, but failing, to appear casual… Check out the gorgeous tribute to intimacy that is @DerekHSimpson’s new track, RC30s: blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…

Slick electronic production and fuzzy guitars come together on @KACEYFIFIELD’s new single, which unpacks the experience of trying to be someone else in pursuit of affection. Check out Dream Girl here: blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…

Baker. Whatever.

I seriously don’t understand how Steve Barclay can sit on TV and try and suggest that Labour winning this election will be ‘bad’ for the country.

Hey @willquince… just checking your out of office is on, yeah? Did you catch @LastWeekTonight last week? Figure you could just stick it on your resume. Thanks for your appalling service “for Colchester”.

Blissful electronic music assembled like a collage... Check out Saturn Returns, the new single from @DerekHSimpson: blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…

@petetheox @bluenilehatsfan A classic, Pete!

After years of scouring record shops for this fantastic album on vinyl, I’m so glad they’ve reissued it! #thebluenile #hats @bluenilehatsfan

If you create content and post it in Meta’s apps, worth being aware of this.

@TomDavenport @julesterpak You’re missing the point. This kind of curation of the experience helps convince you that everyone thinks the way you do. Saying that you should just not depend on other people to think for you is effectively leading to the same outcome… a bias towards your default perspective

@julesterpak Sounds like she is saying “I look at comments to tell me what to think and omg we all get told something different” There is an easy solution… don’t depend on other people to think for you

His & Hers …… comment section edition On most platforms, comment sections seem to be ranked based on highest to lowest engagement and (sometimes) comments from anyone you directly follow. On IG Reels, a user noticed that you and someone else can look at the same comment section under the same video and see completely different comment section narratives — likely based on your consumption habits ofc, further instilling rabbit hole potential when it comes to both content + commentary

@sdw Android has basically done this for years. Developers opt in the developer system managed icons, which restrain the design to a two-tone system that can adapt to the system theme. Only difference here is that Apple, allegedly, is proposing users can customise by app category.

iOS 18 rumors quickly went from ‘wow this sounds rad’ to a designer’s worst nightmare

Indie pop that bristles with energy and excitement whilst depicting the experience of being in a questionable relationship. Check out the latest single from London-based Irish indie pop band, @hawketheband, Doctor: blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…

A beautiful and textural electronic collage for fans of Bon Iver. Check our @theambergrove's new song, lØve! blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…

The fabulous @jodienic_music is back with a new single, and the opening track from her forthcoming album. Check out the beautiful, moody electronic pop that is You Wanted This: blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…

Emotive folk meets intellectual dance on Wonka, the fabulous new single from @derekhsimpson. Check it out here: blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…

Electronic drama meets emotive instrumentation. Check out the tribute to queer Southeast Asian American representation that is @thavoron’s excellent Body, here: blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…

Check out the emotive and meaningful electronic-dance-meets-singer-songwriter record that is @jakkesounds’s new single, Reckoning: blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…

Like running down a hill, @kaceyfifield's new single, Left Behind, is a tumble of emotions wrapped up in an electronic pop song. Check it out: blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…

Check out the snappy, clean lines of @luckynoyou's 80s influenced pop on the uplifting Hands On The Horizon. One for fans of Talking Heads and The Police: blackplastic.co.uk/alternative-el…
