In what's now become an annual tradition, I've written another piece for The Gist about how and why I hate A.I.

On a bubble about to burst, a future rotted to its core, and the limits of the Mrs Doyle Theory of artificial intelligence.

Crocodile Dundee has one of the best scores of the 80s. It is just perfect for the atmosphere of each scene, particularly the final scene, which in itself is absolutely brilliant.

First day of 2026 and the Brits are at it again....

We will not be silent.

FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
The Brits are at it again... The British government has issued us notice that they will appeal the decision of their own magistrates court to throw out the case against Mo Chara. It is the view of our legal team that there is not an iota of logic for this, it is without any sound legal basis. It is another flailing arm to distract from, and to try and silence those who stand on the right side of history as they are complicit. As Israel today moves to ban charitable organisations providing lifesaving aid and primitive shelter to millions, the British state once again turns to vilify those who oppose genocide. It will be heard on Jan 14th at the High Court, Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand, London. We will not be silent. FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

I wrote this on eternal life and ceaseless cringe. And how I've no interest in living forever if it's in a world ruled by the weird, brittle freaks we call tech CEOs.

🤷‍♂️
On Joe Rogan’s podcast — where male brain cells go to die — he recently decried Facebook’s old fact-checking policies as “like something from 1984”, and railed against his platform’s censorship of covid-19 misinformation. This he did with all the easy patter of someone taking part in a memory test, reciting each buzzy talking point as if it was a mnemonic he’d been taught to remember the names of Henry VIII’s wives. Has there ever been a less convincing agitator for his own interests than Mark Zuckerberg? Even now, dressing in XXXL tees and gold necklaces and hair his small army of stylists and design consultants have decided should make him look exactly like a Bafta, he seems as robotic and mannered as he ever did. Musk speaks like a man who believes his own insane conspiratorial guff, because he does. For years, we’ve watched as the most malodorous portions of the internet have fully infected his brain and transformed his entire personality. Zuck avoided this fate by not having a personality to begin with. It is difficult to imagine him holding a strong view on anything, for much the same reason it is difficult to imagine him enjoying a poem or a sandwich. It would be like attributing sentiment to a set of venetian blinds. There is simply nothing there.

In October, I had a very long chat with Alan Moore. On magick, sci-fi, the perils of ecological doomerism, the joy of occultist pranks, the psychogeography of Stoke Newington, the invention of the taser - and much more!

As a Christmas treat here it is IN FULL.
