Corporations invaded the net, took it over and turned it into an accelerationist nightmare. But they are ignoring the real world in the process. They believe they are leaving it behind for something abstract and better.

Let them take the net as long as we can take back the real world.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

If you make anything at all, no matter what it is, you will not be prepared for the torrent of unsolicited and unqualified advice coming your way.

Bowieland, the project I worked on with Peter Carpenter, and within which my photography (and a version of me) appears, is available to pre-order in paperback from Waterstones.

Something about autumn just makes me want to wear big wooly jumpers and corderoy jackets while listening to Ronnie Lane and drinking real ale.

This. So much fucking THIS
feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*
I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

I think its definitely time for France to ask for the Statue of Liberty back. Actually, at this rate she may just walk home.

Props to the three young lads having a beer outside a pub on Tottenham Court Road who enthusiastically beckoned over a bloke draped in a St George flag only to tell him “Fuck off out of our town you fat fascist fuck.” Swelled with London pride.

We’re quite deep within the Singularity right now, though it’s turned out be the Singularity of Stupid (SoS), which effectively prevents the original concept of the Singularity from happening.
