@nikkijj17 Agree with this! Micaela was kind enough to do a featured vocal for my dance track and she sounds as incredible as she does on her country tracks!

@5FM @KaraboNtshweng @beatsbyhand @Coolpixie_RSA @TiMOODV Thanks for including us in the chart (and for supporting SA dance music)!! Micaela is over in the US right now but I let her know, exciting stuff! 😀

Here’s a new dance track I made with Micaela Kleinsmith (winner of Apple TV+’s “My Kind Of Country”) & @Marcel_Aquila . If you click to save it to your library (or playlist) you’d be helping us get onto Discover Weekly!

@OhGodWhatNowPod @IanDunt @Dorianlynskey @rosamundmtaylor @sturdyAlex @pimlicat Will massively miss you on the podcast @IanDunt, hope you’ll occasionally come back as a guest. & “How Westminster Works.. And Why It Doesn’t” is excellent!

@ChessInRussia In Belmont is a lady richly left; and she is fair, and, fairer than the word, of wondrous minge

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

@BrentLindeque It's a South African-ism. I've always assumed it was a direct translation, so just did a bit of reddit research and apparently there's a Xhosa / Zulu term "nami" meaning “and me”, used in agreement with someone else, and sometimes translated directly to... “even me”

[Rudi Simon @ruditweets]

@BrentLindeque Same here. It’s been going since 2019. I eventually filed a police report.

There is a story doing the news rounds this morning that Sunak has cost the government £11 billion by failing to manage government interest rates properly. But the real story is much worse than that. This is about banks winning at cost to us all, yet again...a thread to explain.

[Rudi Simon @ruditweets]

@mikegalsworthy Agree with the sentiment of this although also worth noting that £ lost a lot of value relative to $ and € post the referendum in 2016 so a portion of this low GDP/c growth in USD terms might be attributable to that.

Keir Starmer's speech on #BeerGate was perfect and genius!

Either he's found innocent and everyone sees that Boris Johnson is the bad guy, or he resigns after being found guilty and everyone sees that Boris Johnson is the bad guy!

@JackEichler @SamHarrisOrg @JohnHMcWhorter From listening to some of the other podcasts I think Sam’s view is that the extreme left helps “Trump types” win elections by pushing centrists towards the more conservative candidates. This arguably happened in the U.K.

@samreich I find Ableton easier / quicker than Logic for electronic stuff. If recording real instruments then sure, Logic.

@NicolaRoberts @DCMS Another idea I’ve heard is increasing the friction for new troll accounts, eg new accounts need to achieve certain milestones before they can post or until their posts can be seen by anyone but their followers. If it were harder to set up troll accounts there would be less of em

@SayeedaWarsi @Conservatives Respect is due to you for speaking up.

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg You got fact checked on the front page of BBC news and you’ve gotten this one wrong. You should admit your error. https://t.co/dYh6FsUqu4

@howells Have sold loads of my outgoing Apple kit and audio equipment on Gumtree

[Rudi Simon @ruditweets]

@pierre_nel Noooooo. Spotify def better ux, Apple stuck with some weird hangovers from iTunes days. Artist tools on Spotify are also way better.

@egodeath666_ Completely agree with this. Everyone thinks going sober means giving stuff up but after a few months it becomes clear that you gain more than you give up. Congrats 👍🏻
