  • PM Dawn lol

    I saw a documentary the other day about PM Dawn. It’s weird, like they were one of those groups who did one album and then went right off, but you can still listen to their stuff and it still sounds lush Anyway the story is also pretty common. I’ll retell it from memory and then…

  • Let me dig out some poems #1

    I am determined to do this for a year. I have nothing to say. I do, but I am on loads of stuff and none of it is connected and nobody sees any of it. Or maybe they do But these are some poems from my big word file called poems we will not be…

  • I don’t understand any of this

    by

    in

    Honestly, I think that I said last post that I was going to start posting more political stuff because it was so important and it was silly to pretend that it doesn’t exist, but then with all of the news this week, I just feel so disengaged. So the big news story as I post…

  • End of Evangelion

    I have quite a long post that I am working on that is good, but I am behind my resolution to do one a week so I’m going to do a quick one. I think that I’m just going to write about films and go off on long rants so that this has some direction…

  • Any Old Iron?

    Believe me, I am deliberately not writing about WW3 which is much more interesting. The fascists are rising, the socialists will be forced to fight, and we will win because we actually believe in the working class and we can’t dodge it when the war appears, so we will have to be socialists and fight,…

  • MAGA

    Donald Trump woke up. It was all too much. He forgot that his phone had run out of battery last night and he had fallen asleep He had forgotten to plug it in, it still didn’t work, there would be hundreds of notifications, probably almost 1000. He didn’t know what time it was. He had…

  • I’m not here, this isn’t happening

    Ok so this is a completely freeform post where I try to explain Mark Fisher. Mark Fisher was a writer who got very famous on the left for an essay called Vampire Castle about how canibalistic the left was. He was a philosophy geek and wrote about how growing up as a working class guy…

  • Constantly Lowered Great Expectations

    Just read it, not as good as I thought it would be To be honest I just haven’t had any cool ideas to write about, but I promised that I would churn out some shite once a week and I think I’m about 10 days late. I am studying as well as teaching and the…

  • Universal Paperclips

    This is a very fun game based on the Paperclip Maximiser concept. If you like that sort of thing… https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/index2.html It’s based on the Nick Bostrom thought experiment to terrify yourself about AI. So briefly the story is that humans design an AI to make paperclips as efficiently as possible, but accidentally make it a…

  • Truant : Our Sun is Dying

    Our sun is dying. The sky is hidden. Stashed awayIn the air an emptiness. Dust settles. Neither cold or warmA grey blur, shapeless. Manifested from all of us. Just out of sightDrifting off to sleep. Don’t fight it. There’s nothing left in this world for us.When it gets cold. The cold gets inside of you.…
