One half of @billyandymusic - the billy half. I make accessible musical instruments, tinker with stuff and run music workshops.

@ProReborn @coffeebreak_YT If Epstein goes over the orange splashes he can run faster which might help him escape the room.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Remove the word "just" in the final sentence and it's perfect. Now imagine how rapidly the neoliberal austerity regime would collapse with a groundswell of support for Clive's messaging.

@JoashPThomas I’m confused as to why Jesus would bother to teach what selfish people do by default. Surely the point of NOT having a hierarchy that radiates out from yourself is that you make decisions based on justice rather than personal interest.

Impromptu jam on the Hexydeck at Dorkbot last month! Need to get better at uploading my videos in a timely manner!

"International humanitarian law must be respected, and the independence of international courts upheld. The government acknowledges the ICC's jurisdiction over Gaza." Will you be standing by your statement @JeffSmithetc and calling for the arrest of Netanyahu and Gallant?

Just now -- acclaimed British surgeon testifies to #UK Parliament, detailing how #IDF "quadcopters" would arrive at the scene of airstrikes in #Gaza & "pick-off" / "shoot" the injured, including children.

This, from the Jordanian foreign minister, is devastating. His question, too, should be asked by everyone interviewing Israeli representatives: if the Israeli government’s endgame is not a two-state solution, then what is it?

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Google provided £10,000 of hospitality to senior Labour figures & the party ditched plans to raise the Digital Services Tax.

Quadrature, a Cayman Islands hedge-fund which invests in fossil fuels, donated £4m & its climate advisory board co-chair is now Climate Envoy.

It stinks.

@anne_engineer @CritterGuitari @Raspberry_Pi Not yet….

[Billy Payne @billyischilly]

I made a new synth thing! It’s an audio visual synthesiser which uses @CritterGuitari ‘s Eyesy software and the Yoshimi synth running on a @Raspberry_Pi zero 2W. Super fun to play! The keyboard also has polyphonic aftertouch which works with Yoshimi which is fun!

[Billy Payne @billyischilly]

@anne_engineer @CritterGuitari @Raspberry_Pi Yes, the visualisations are all Python with the pygame library (not programmed by me though to be clear :))! I think all the sound/midi stuff is c/c++ and Pd.

[Billy Payne @billyischilly]

@Jon51601417 @CritterGuitari @Raspberry_Pi This is very much me too usually! Either that or I get obsessively hyper focussed on finishing something at the expense of all other aspects of my life and personal hygiene. Fortunately(?) this was one of those times!

[People's Assembly @pplsassembly]

For the rich as well, right?
