@MrTomGray Wow! Congrats Tom!

Delighted and humbled to be selected to be the Labour candidate for Brighton Pavilion. Thanks so much to everyone who helped in the campaign and thanks to Eddie, Lucy and Birgit for showing such solidarity and integrity on the trail. #TG4PAV

@MrTomGray @bhlabour @bh_younglabour @serauk @WeAreTheMU @Feargal_Sharkey Best of luck, Tom!

I'm doing it. @bhlabour @bh_younglabour @serauk @WeAreTheMU @Feargal_Sharkey

@bernhardsson Yes, twice in one day, I agree with you.

Have you ever met a person that's obviously very high IQ but simultaneously very dumb? The thing 100% of these people have in common is they don't read books

@bernhardsson Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

"A lot of people are getting jobs! Here are 4 articles about why that's bad for the Fed and the stock market"

@FADCLDN @PaulbernalUK @Ian_Fraser They may have a point

@FADCLDN @PaulbernalUK @Ian_Fraser This is for ‘new’ buildings only so existing biz ought not to be affected. Agree it’s such a waste of time and a distraction from the big things that actually matter

@MrTomGray Good luck, Tom!

So yes, taking this decision very seriously. With Caroline stepping down, I think Brighton needs and deserves a local, effective MP who knows it and loves it. This is the only place I have ever considered representing… Also, enjoying being described as a ‘singer’.

@AnthonyTeasdale Absolute banger

So, what's the ultimate prog house track? Gat Decor's "Passion". It's ironic that while prog was a reaction to piano house, its biggest tune had a big fuck-off piano in it. Play it this weekend – your crowd will love it. youtube.com/watch?v=8jR-TD…

Progressive house is 32 years old. How did a genre that appeared in the autumn of 1991 change the soundtrack of clubbing in a few weeks?It's time for a thread about the golden age of progressive house. And yes, it does have one.

@AnthonyTeasdale @Leftfield Just listened to that track on @spotify and it’s pitched a semitone down: open.spotify.com/track/4IdjLApI…

The tune that defines prog is the Hard Hands remix of @Leftfield "Not Forgotten". Ignored on its release in 1991, it seeps into the clubbing subconscious. Yes, it's "dubby" – the buzzword of the time – but it also has an incredible-on-E breakdown. youtube.com/watch?v=Pwvxtg…

@ClassicFM @AMinhall @MrTomGray great to see support for music education from the Labour Party

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer speaks exclusively to Classic FM’s @AMinhall about his love of Beethoven, memories of playing the flute at Guildhall, and why he believes music should be prioritised in schools. classicfm.com/music-news/sir…

@bernhardsson Seems true of most advice that isn’t a hopelessly generic platitude.

Call me a cynic but I think there’s approx zero universal startup advice. Everything is idiosyncratic and depends! I don’t trust advice that’s not “if x then do y”. Any advice that’s “do x” is for likes and nothing else. I realize this tweet is an oxymoron!

@jackiegschafer Yes, this seemed absolutely ridiculous

Any other lawyers watching Black Mirror think that the lawyer advice in the first episode, "Joan is Awful," was the most unrealistic aspect of the plot?? [spoiler alert for this episode] The lawyer that Joan speaks with tells her that there's nothing she can do about the @netflix -esque network surveilling her and sharing her life story as a serial drama because Joan had agreed to this when she signed up to watch the streaming service. ("I know. But you did accept it, so they're in the clear.") Salma Hayek's (yes she's a character) lawyer also tells here there's absolutely nothing she can do about the contract she signed, even when the CGI version of Salma is shown defecating in a church. These lawyers should have immediately realized that the outcome of the contract was unconscionable and there are plenty of arguments that should at least be tested in asserting their clients' rights. #lawtwitter #appellatetwitter @Clearbriefai #BlackMirrorS6 #BlackMirror

@OurielOhayon It’s also quite an interesting question

@OurielOhayon They’re not unique views, just page impressions

@MrTomGray @ReservoirMedia @SongwritersHOF @IMPaulWilliams Was a great night - good hang too Tom! Safe travels

Massive thank you to @ReservoirMedia for inviting me to the @SongwritersHOF event in New York last night. Got to meet @IMPaulWilliams! A huge hero of mine. Felt eight years old.

@eshear Interesting point, but Twitch still doesn’t have an office-first culture. Do you think that’s a liability?

Most successful companies have a strong “cultural balance sheet”, the nuanced connections and Métis that’s been built up. Going remote you start drawing down on the balance sheet…everything seems fine until you’re eventually insolvent.

@FADCLDN @stephenkb I think he’ll thread the needle with a Gordian knot!

If Sunak is unlucky, all three seats could be won by MPs who wish to do him great political harm.

@martin121 It sort of is though? You’re not completely wrong…

So, Sam Altman releasing a warning statement about AI - isn't that like if a Big Tobacco CEO would warn about smoking? (I get it, it's not, but still somewhat amusing) cnbc.com/2023/05/31/ai-…

@cheriehu42 + AI as a tool for creators
