As an autistic man it upsets me when politicians pretend to be excited about taking a train, our culture is not your costume.

Tune in to the singing tone poems of dial-up modems, Burroughsian cut-ups and the postures of emergent technologies, in part two of my ‘Writing After the End of Writing’ feature from 2015 on Tom McCarthy's Satin Island

Stimulating debates at the @ProgIntl 50th anniversary Congress on the New Economic Order.

This is more or less what I said, probably including a few things that I forgot to say

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

I can't believing I'm saying this, but Aaron Bushnell's last words were just read live on CNN.

People are predictably ignoring the point here. Mainstream rap today is undeniably the soundtrack of late capitalism, an empty barrage of product placements.

“The poorest fifth of the population are now much poorer [in the UK] than most of the poorest countries in central and eastern Europe,” says @MyStephanomics. “They would be better off in quite poor countries in the European Union.”
