ALL HAIL CHAIRMAN TRUMP! WITH HIS GLORIOUS 10% PURCHASE OF INTEL, THE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF AMERICA ENTERS A BOLD NEW ERA OF GOVERNMENT-RUN BUSINESS.

[Ben Le Foe @benlefoe]

@SocialistNHS @UKLabour Yes. Because there's no other choice that can win seats and still put forward an agenda which is in any way moderate. Voting against Labour will either bring in Reform or hard-right Tories.

[Ben Le Foe @benlefoe]

@AcWailing @fesshole It was just too hard.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Norway is a Socialist Country

It has the largest Government surplus in the world at £2tn with a population of only 5.5m. The UK has a debt of £3tn

It is the happiest country in world, has the best railways in Europe and taxes all fossil fuels at 78%

Hi @HotpointUK have an oven which is only 16 months old. The hinge has broken. Have now spent 75 mins on phone trying to talk to the right team (am on hold again). This is pathetic... both the quality of your appliance and your customer service.

[Ben Le Foe @benlefoe]

@_HotpointUK Thanks for your reply. Spent 90 minutes on Tue and got nowhere. Was promised a call back for yesterday which never happened. Just been hung up on by quite an angry man in the "customer service team". Will PM.

[Ben Le Foe @benlefoe]

@Fozzman721 @AP4Liberty What are you talking about? All of those things are possible in the UK. Have you ever even been here?

Donald Trump. An Apology.

The new Private Eye is out now

@BelindaSilva Just checking - are you having a stroke? You might want to get yourself checked out as you're stringing together words and concepts that don't make any sense.

[Ben Le Foe @benlefoe]

@BelindaSilva I don't follow - are you being sarcastic or do you want my partner to work fewer hours and effectively cost the state more money for less output?

[Ben Le Foe @benlefoe]

@BelindaSilva @danzu72 My partner is a senior government lawyer here in the UK. When she works from home she tends to work longer hours as she also works during her commute time.

Win a copy of the new Morphwiz 2 AUv3 (iPad, Mac)

This is an mpe "spectral audio morphing synthesizer that constructs hybrid sounds to seamlessly transition from one timbre to the next", and is a collab between Jordan Rudess and One Red Dog.

I haven't yet had a chance to check this out much yet, but it looks interesting. It looks also like it's a robust mpe implemention, allowing even things like release velocity to be assigned as mod sources. Few iOS apps offer that. And yes, you can record into the AUv3.

Link to appstore, manual link etc are below.

✨ I've got a free copy to give away to Twitter followers. Winner will be picked in 2 days at random. To enter, like this tweet, quote tweet or re-tweet, and write a comment. Good luck!

Key features of MorphWiz 2 include:

• Seamless morphing between four samples

• Modulation options, including LFOs, envelopes, and filters

• Customizable arpeggiator

• Built-in recorder for capturing your own samples

• MPE

• AUv3 support

• iCloud sync

Pic shows the modulation assignment options:

@gavinski_s I really loved the original version back in the day.

[Ben Le Foe @benlefoe]

@davidclowery True, but normally with fewer guns and universal health care. Which are both civilising influences.
