Or, on the writing of 100 posts and the consumption of a million contents.It dawned on me recently that the last post here, Growth, degrowth, regrowth, didn't actually focus on any of those topics. I had intended to write something witty in relation to the winter budget and tie it to the site, but flat … Continue reading Efficiencies

Scorched Earth
Walking back here for the first time, I think, in years. There are corpses laid out, hands to the sky, asking why? Why would I return? Why did I leave? How did I get here?Un-imposed silence here connotes noise elsewhere. A separate channel. This is true, however, it's the noise of a prison. A monotonous, … Continue reading Scorched Earth
Matinee
His eyes adjusted to the darkness slowly, coming in from the bright summer light. Goosebumps flared up over the tattoo of an egg on his forearm and his pupil dilated, but neither in the way they had last night. Cool air which had belonged in there for decades filled his damaged lungs and caught him … Continue reading Matinee
And you thought you had it bad…
As the world veers towards Nuclear or climate annihilation I want to let it be known that Mr Hummels had a rotten sequence of events happen to him. But that won't keep him down. Mr Hummels is writing this for posterity's sake. The creative act, in this instance, writing, is a futile one. To write … Continue reading And you thought you had it bad…
Mr Hummels strikes again…
You are supposed to imagine yourself at the centre of the panopticon, watching over the others. I'm not sure the other perspectives were never really considered when old Bentham came up with the Panoption, barring the notion that the others knew you could be watching at any time. Beyond that... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I'd have liked to work … Continue reading Mr Hummels strikes again…
Revolution
I sat and ate breakfast, my second in as many hours, and came to the realisation that there would be no revolution. It was the type of breakfast which happened after 50 hours of work in a week; tired and unsatisfying. Orange citrus burned an ulser in my mouth. The supplementary coffee blew through, too … Continue reading Revolution

Since last we spoke, much has happened. Or has it? Is my nut just wilting? … Continue reading Otters
AGM Transcript: Coronavirus (Covid-19) and San Jose del Pacifico Trip Report
AGM Transcrit Mr Hummels - Introductory remarks As I've pursed over the dwindling fortunes of Mr Hummels, I've come to realise that certain things will either happen, or as the case may be, they won't. Equally, it can be said that certain things will happen when you think that they won't, or won't happen when … Continue reading AGM Transcript: Coronavirus (Covid-19) and San Jose del Pacifico Trip Report
The Irishman and other stories
This is in place of anything original which I should be writing. It will be a series of mini-reviews interspersed with recent findings on various topics which I have negotiated recently. Mainly they tread along the line of TRUTH. As I write this I may be able to adequately mop the various thoughts spilling from … Continue reading The Irishman and other stories
Cliches about Scott Walker
The following titles were considered; The Old man's gone, We're on our own again, It's raining today, Fallen Hero of the War, The Sun ain't gonna shine anymore, My Ship has sailed, They Called Him Scottie. etc. But they would have been terrible, wouldn't they? I'm truly saddened to hear of the death of Scott … Continue reading Cliches about Scott Walker
