History and its telling are, from the get-go, fucked. Eyewitness accounts can’t be totally relied on because, well, it’s still just reflecting one persons perspective. Even many eyewitness accounts piled together are still little more than that. What if two accounts co...

Going down the rabbit hole is a phrase oft bandied about by music nerds and it implies being grasped by an artist, a song, a sound and finding yourself listening to reams of music in the hope recapturing whatever feeling struck you at the top of the rabbit hole. The ra...

So, whether you credit it or not, the end IS nigh. Not the end of the universe or anything like that, not even Earth really, simply the end of large scale human civilisation. By hook or by crook, or many other mechanisms, I don’t think we’re going to see out the centur...

So, Alex Jones, right? What a nutter. He’s now a much deplatformed nutter thanks to his continued attacks on quite literally everyone and everything that is not Breitbart and probably a lot of people in that world too. He’s been taken off Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and...

Hijacking is, in its most general sense, the co-opting of things, thangs, bits ‘n’ bobs that belong to your cu...

Since the birth of the industrial revolution, we’ve been burning fossil fuels at a prodigious rate. Aside from the many changes that have taken place since then, inequality, communism, capitalism, neoliberalism, various revolutions and many wars, we have also been cont...

Benjamin Franklin wrote in 1789 about the then fairly new US constitution. He was pointing out that rather than the permanence of state, the only two certainties in life were death and taxes. In my utopia, these will be intertwined with a new, similarly mandated certai...

So, I’ve been thinking about things, plastic, since my last pop culture/ecological crossover. If I’m to revisit plastic, how am I to approach it? What would be a good angle? Should I have a new one altogether or will I get back into one of the angles from that piece an...
