    Ok, so first let’s watch an awesome browser music video thing which replicates early internet. Very clever, lots of pop ups appear as part of the video and it brings back a load of tropes from the old days. You need to disable your adblock to allow the pop ups. So go watch it. Then…

    That is a quote from a translation of a Japanese song. We have lots of READ, let’s have a watch Neon Genesis Evangelion It’s like Miyazaki, it’s a Japanese national treasure, but it is so dark they don’t know what to do with it. They did a remake where they changed it from 12 hours…

    YouTube is like a charity shop. Most of what is there is complete shit. 99% of content is the digital equivalent of a tatty Katie Price book or a phone case for a phone that was last manufactured 9 years ago. It just needs deleting. It has no function, purpose or value and sooner or…

    I’ll just keep writing any old shit I guess. I just listen to the news about Gaza and know fucking loads about that, probably already said that. It would be stupid for me to write about that though, I don’t actually know any more than anyone else, I think half of the world is obsessed…

    This is just a short one apparently. Let’s see I discovered this amazing YouTube channel called Elephant Graveyard, they do these takedowns on American comedians, but what sets them apart is the Adam Curtis skill they have where the camera lingers on the performers looking a bit sad about their performance.

    So this is a 1am thought that may be expanded. I’ve not done writing for ages and this is a first draft that will probably never be redrafted. One of the things that is fashionable in my algorithm is Liminal Spaces. Not really fashionable because the people who are on the ball have been doing…
