Fuck ICE, fuck Reform, and fuck anyone who actually wants this.
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

After moving website hosting over the new year, it's been working fine for everyone apart from me on my PC. I've cleared all the browsers, flushed the DNS cache... no joy.

Today I discovered some idiot (it's me, I'm the idiot) had added the website to my hosts file. Deleted it. Problem solved!

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow.

Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do?

AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

This artist, Anna Leone, is fairly new to me but this track came out back in 2017 so I'm late to the party. She has a fantastic voice.

With everything going on in the world right now, this feels like a terrible time to be promoting my work. But it has been a slow January and I have some available slots I'd love to fill.

So I'm offering 4 commission slots at 25% off.

It’s Sunday and the world is burning, but you can’t fight if you’re burned out, so take care of yourself. Read. Create. Check on your friends and family. Spend time with your pet. Go for a walk. Watch a movie. Eat tacos. Hope you have a good one.

In life David Lynch was known widely for being the absolute king of weird beard arthouse filmmakers. In death, he is known mostly for his kindness, work ethic, and just being an all around rad person that made films HIS way. And I absolutely love that. What a legacy.

Rest in peace, king.
