So. Things are going well in general. Significant advances have been made towards studio set up. Two instruments are now fully wired into the mixing module, and I’m familiarising myself with all the possibilities.
(I will be returning to Solovyov’s Sophiology next time, via Bulgakov) Of all the incidentally cogent things that cinematic madmen say, one always sticks with me, but it is in fact a quotation. In the movie Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Lecter refers to a quote by Marcus Aurelius when he says to Clarice Starling, […]
Suicide rates among young males is a genuine social concern. The left should not back away from this simply because the right wing with its Traditionalist, anti-feminist and Men’s Rights groups have gained online hegemony over the issue.

It’s a hodge podge in the good old tradition of mashups between the gritty and the ethereal. It also somehow manages to celebrate recent comings and goings and comings again in my turbulent emotional […]
Ruminations about aging in a population that is more and more ideologically and culturally divided along generational lines, dating disasters and ongoing relationship struggles, plus many health issues are dogging my days and sapping my creative power most days in the past few years. I’ve wanted to return to blogging the whole time but have […]
When a public figure—tasked with the democratic, modern liberal job of holding government to account on behalf of the people—instead openly and publicly expresses the eugenic question of whom the government should let die for the sake of the economy, then it has become clear just how far the public sphere has shifted from being […]
