All of my books are now available once again in glorious new editions with refreshed covers! You can get them from all the major bookstores, and also that shithole Amazon if you really must. Have at it!
it's always a disappointment when I catch a band performance live and they're intense, powerful, face-tearingly good. Then I listen to the album and it's...very tame. It's not just the death of live music, it's the death of the very idea of a band, what it means to perform, to feel that energy.

Always caught slightly off guard when someone buys one of my books, like, “oh yeah, that’s a thing isn’t it”

Seeing Nine Inch Nails hawking for a bunch of Hollywood wankers, including Jared Fucking Leto, while promoting a dumb CGI pile of trash movie financed by fucking Disney, is the least impressive thing I think I've seen in a while. And the score is shit anyway. We've all seen techno clubhouse NIN.

I love the way modern management dogma has shifted the definition of leadership from being "we managers are responsible" to "we're all responsible", meaning, it's your job now. All dressed up in the language of "co-operation" and "collaboration".

@drflewis.bsky.social what could possibly go wrong?! 😑
Oof... 😣 the use of problematic metrics to evaluate the value of academic research is about to get way way worse
AI could be used for REF, says Royal Society president.
The president of the Royal Society has suggested that artificial intelligence could ease the burden placed on academics by the Research Excellence Framework and peer review.

Going back to a piece of music I recorded some years ago and realising as I try to relearn it that I have no idea how my guitar was tuned and it makes no sense at all.

The notes I made while brainstorming new book ideas specifically say "No apocalypses". I think I was very clear on that matter.

My only complaint with the new house is that empty cardboard boxes appear to be breeding. If I was back home in Glasgow I'd just pile them up in the back close and set them on fire. The rats would have a BBQ. Here I have to do some weird bourgeois York thing called "recycling". Fetch my flamethrower
