  1. theguardian.com/politics/ng-in. The #Welsh #Senedd #results: Plaid Cymru, 43; #ReformUK, 34; #Labour, 9; #Conservatives, 7; #Greens, 2; #LibDems, 1. The #election was by means of a new system, that of a closed Party list system in 16 multi-member constituencies, each returning 6 #members of the Senedd, 96 in total. 49 are required for a majority. The result is an absolute disaster for Labour, & - once again - sees #Reform profiting at the expense of the #Tories.

  2. 🧵1/2 #Literacy In conversation with a fellow #author / #journalist we discussed the poor uptake of #ThePembrokePapers . I mentioned a conversation on the bus where a younger woman said with a note of pride 'I can't read of course'. Apparently not just a #Pembroke or #Welsh thing.

  4. And finally, a performance of the Sammy Davis Jr.classic “The Rhythm of Life” from the musical “Sweet Charity” by Côr Glanaethwy from the famous Bangor, Wales drama school Ysgol Glanaethwy (youtu.be/hAgs3BgTamw?si=KIbSrE). This performance went viral due to its mixing of English and Welsh lyrics. Sadly, Côr Glanaethwy would come in 2nd place in the competition.

  10. Nigel #Farage 'showing his true colours' after calling #Welsh people ‘foreign speakers’.

    He said "Gutted I couldn’t attend the wedding. I wanted to come, but I heard that half the guests were Welsh, and I don’t know. Who knows what would have happened with all those foreign speakers there. I don’t know." #Cymru #Cymraeg

  11. "Without You" is a song written by #PeteHam and #TomEvans of #Welsh rock group #Badfinger, and first released on their 1970 album #NoDice.

The Nilsson version was included in 2021's Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. #PaulMcCartney once described it as "the killer song of all time".

  16. Welsh analog synth module maker Dwyfor Tech displaying an impressive range of gear at this year's SynthEast at Norwich Arts Centre. Admirable especially as the designs look to bring genuinely new ideas and not just variations and flavours of long standing units.

  25. Trying to think of a project name for my #transient #emacs build tool interface. I've been playing around with an anglicisation of the #welsh phrase "iechyd da" which is often used as a drinking toast meaning "good health". One potential English spelling "Yachi" would lend itself to the acronym "Yet Another Compiler Heuristic Invoker" but it seems a bit contrived and also technically wrong on the pronunciation.

    I'm open to suggestions.

  26. Our first keynote piece, "Playing with the Past: Cultural Integrity in Narrative Gaming", is by game developer Stevan Anastasoff as he talks about adapting the Mabinogion for modern gaming and the problems of a one-size-fits-all approach to how we interpret medieval narratives in gamified ways:
