Sarah Story - Another (Hypercolour)
I do bookmark a lot of music I listen to when I'm writing, and it's Sarah Story of BBC1D Future Dance who keeps me company on BBC Sounds most often, as well as Charlie Hedges who seems to parachute in when I'm in need of a kick me up or is that a pick me up? Also Charlie Tee (champion of D&B) and of course the legend Pete Tong. There's a few more shout outs to go, but that will do for the time being. Wait, I must mention Arielle Free. Very important.
Here's Sarah's recently released quintessential house track . It starts as it ends with an invitational 4/4 beat to mix in as well as mix out the previous and next tracks. It's very sociable to put it mildly, and well-up for a party I feel. I hear more than a hint of banging tubular bells (and glockenspiel) action in the middle and that's a huge compliment. Sarah often plays music that hits me up, and when I track it down, it can sometimes be only a few days old as well as only a handful of plays.
There's an intimacy about enjoying music that is the opposite of famous (for now) and appreciating the person who shares it. I've learned a lot from Sarah and I'm looking forward to writing up some of the insights I've picked up from her and the rest of BBC1D team which is pretty much home for me these days and nights.

Once Upon an Ⅹ
A friendly bird flew my way, perched on my shoulder and directed me to download my data from Twitter (X Holdings Corporation).
So I did and on 2023-11-19 at 18-46-20 seconds I got the following message. Screenshot time stamped in Russian format Year, Month, Day and Time.
However, when I attempt to download it. Computer says no every time. Where it says 'OK' I'm not OK so I took note of that.
Not long after the my data request, I was suspended permanently from X Holdings Corporation with no answers, no evidence and no facts provided. My data request was tacitly rejected. Unusually for a permanent suspension my account is still accessible so I can see a few hundred tweets.
Without my data I'm unable to demonstrate a few important statements I made. Some of which pertains to my mothers unlawful killing (he bragged). So if that's the case it is going to court, that's X Corporation Holdings problem not mine.
It's petty isn't it?
Signature gamma move**
I had no option but to appeal my suspension, a process that provided the pretext used to suspend me as follows.
If the screenshots are too pale I took the precaution of saving a Google Docs as that has a time stamp and revision history that I can't alter. Here's the link.
The bit I liked most for suspension is: Specifically, for:
Violating our rules against platform manipulation and spam.You may not use X’s services in a manner intended to artificially amplify or suppress information or engage in behavior that manipulates or disrupts people’s experience on X.
What Musk is saying here, is that everyone's tweets need to be made in a vacuum where nobody reads them and nobody is affected by them through spurious and undefined amplification and suppression techniques. I'd enjoy that in a court of law. He's literally the arch manipulator, breaking his own terms and conditions as the chief amplifier of himself when he's not peddling AI self generated 'heroic' art as outlined in the 'anyone for pudding' post over here.
Some have suggested my last tweets were the red line but as I've repeatedly stated, this is out of my hands. You chose to buy the largest digital platform in history for self aggrandizing purposes and manipulation, and that's not going to save you. The end is not for everyone. You are not a prophet, I am not a prophet etc...
There is nothing to push off of in a vacuum.

Another tweet that can now no longer be embedded. Good job I'm a compulsive evidence guy. You have to be in my line of work. There's no way to win that game but a few facts and timeline stamps accumulated along the way are the best we've got till we redefine reality. I realised a couple of days ago that the Trivium is dead. It's still good for holding the line but it's inevitable that redefining reality is my most pressing problem and I don't have even one or two bluesky ideas. Nothing is there but it will come. It always does. I'm the tortoise not the hare despite my Nick Land accelerationist credentials until this is over which is now sooner than later if my Q-Comms learnings are improving..
Here are all the tweets I've embedded in posts deleted by X holdings Corp for the time being.
Tedious, I know, but if it isn't shared now, later claims I may state, might lack credibility.
Que sera sera.
