I see him more and more when I look in the mirror; but I realised recently that the him that I see there isn& Aug 23, 2024 3 min read Blog cranks 2 high voltage To continue: in a way, the media are the biggest cranks of all—able to maintain an absolutely rigid belief in whatever their thing is at the time—it's just that unlike normal cranks, it can change on a dime. Consider the media narrative that predominated shortly after Aug 21, 2024 3 min read Resistance Is Futile I have talked in the past about my weird love/hate relationship with cranks. Thinking on recent events has caused me to realise something about where the positive part of this might come from.

I was talking to CM the other day about how I think about Aug 18, 2024 6 min read Blog Six Cans And Two Grams Thankfully, Wednesday's countrywide far-right kickoff failed to materialise—and nowhere less so than in Brighton, where four guys spent a somewhat uncomfortable evening getting roasted by a crowd of thousands. I read in the Financial Times that: It is in no way an attempt to legitimise violence and Aug 9, 2024 3 min read Blog Just Go WOOOOOOOO!!! I think sadness is an inherently transitory emotion. I don’t think it can’t last (sometimes for a good long time!) but it’s generally a response to something, and eventually it will lift. There is something which seems like sadness, but is not quite, which I will call Aug 7, 2024 1 min read Blog An Operating System For Life I was talking to a visiting friend a few months ago about their 'systems for life', and when they said they didn't have a to-do system I stopped making dinner to talk at them at length about it (until CM asked me pointedly whether I was Aug 5, 2024 9 min read Weeknotes 1632: put a ring on it I was off work last week, so I took a break from blogging too. I'm also taking a break from the usual format because (inspired by Jay's post on the topic of weeknotes) I'm thinking about rejigging it a little, but I don' Aug 4, 2024 1 min read Notes Shownotes: The Acolyte S1 Oh come on. After Andor you’ve really got to do a bit better than this. Look, I fully admit that I am the problem: I keep watching this crap. It wasn’t irremediably bad, but the thing I came back to watching The Acolyte was how thin it all Jul 26, 2024 2 min read Blog My Father Said, When I Was Younger I’ve had a thought rattling around in my head since Mania: Cody Rhodes’ entrance theme—though it has the one thing every wrestling fan loves, a sing-along bit—paints a misleading picture. “My father said/when I was younger/hard times breed better men” is, of course, a reference Jul 24, 2024 1 min read Blog Not Buying It For once in my life I’m not spending too much money on a gadget I don’t need Jul 22, 2024 3 min read Weeknotes 1630: euphoria Throughput * I've realised, not for the first time, that unless there is something actively affecting my emotions, their half-life is fairly short and they don't linger. Which is to say: I was going to say "I've had a good week" because I& Jul 21, 2024 2 min read Blog What's My Problem With Ted Gioia? Ted Gioia is a remarkably popular Substack writer—you might have seen some of his posts go around before. He's written things which have gained enormous reach, on things like Barnes and Noble's recent growth, ways to evaluate character and 'dopamine culture'.

It chimed with some thoughts I've been having since listening to the last General Intellect Unit, which I've been listening to (on and off) Jul 10, 2024 1 min read Blog What's up with those LBC headlines on the BT screens? A few years ago, to the consternation of... presumably some people other than just me, some big BT-branded screens went up all around Brighton in place of phoneboxes that are constantly displaying adverts for things. They're awful and they break up the streets and I hate them.
