    I’m going to just write and publish stuff while I’m bored and on the beers, they don’t have to be bangers, nobody reads them anyway, I’ll do an edited highlights package or something So last night I plugged my hard drive into my TV and of course it’s all organised in a haphazard way, there’s…

    This is an interesting film because it weirdly got repurposed by the alt-right as with D-Fens as a hero, which is just mental. Like Fight Club though, I always loved it, but I never saw it as a right wing film. I mean, even as a kid I knew that he was a lunatic. But…

    So I watched 28 Years later the other day. I have a lot of thoughts about it. I’ve become completely addicted to dopamine and online teaching and have not been able to do any creative endeavours. This is due to personal issues but I have as a bonus moved into a flat where I have…

    My dad is a very interesting guy. I could tell you loads about him, to steretype him, he’s one of those guys who always had a crazy wavy beard. Like beards were in fashion and are still a thing, back in the day people had moustaches more than beards, but he always had the beard,…

    Ok, so I moved around a couple of jobs. Because I was not doing well in Wenzhou but they liked me, they sent me to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is another super interesting city. In history it was where all of the salt on the Yangzthe was taxed, in the old days salt was way more important…

    It’s not exactly an original take, but it’s still crazy how we are just watching world war 3 start and we can’t really do anything except comment. Mercenary armies and drone armies returning to earth. I don’t know if it’s true, but people claim that the US army wargames that they absolutely could not beat…

    I love these, this is one of those Second Life style worlds that was big in the 00s and then closed down. This video is interesting because the guy tries to find if people are still playing it and why. It’s a very interesting story with a surprisingly nice sweet end. I must admit I…

    Here is some weird ephemera that I found today. I’ve always liked this song, I think that everyone has, it’s really dated, but the vocal is so good. It’s one of those ones that loads of people have tried to improve but noone really hasI’m having a go now lol But the weird thing that…

    Since I am keeping up with this to write about stuff, I am going to write about this and hopefully at least I will read it in the future. 2 weeks ago Newcastle won their first proper cup since the 1960s and it is this very strange thing. We are a big historic club and…

    “Of course it is impossible. The conscious mind functions during the period of captivity, but upon withdrawal of the Passenger nearly every recollection goes too. There is only a slight residue, a gritty film of faint and ghostly memories. The mount is never precisely the same person afterwards; though he cannot recall the details of…
