This is jaw-droppingly good stuff.
Tim McVeigh was receiving medical treatment roughly once every ten days while he was in the military. Weird.
Yeah, I wasn't counting "Miracles of Life" but I fully deserve to be ackshullied from time to time. I haven't read it either - I bought it when it came out and it's been sitting on my shelf ever since.
Cocaine Nights would make an excellent film, but as cinematic as his stuff is, there's still a weird psychological dimension cinema can't reach. Crash was good, but nothing in the book. Haven't seen High Rise (came out after I entered my bubble - the only non-kids film I've seen since 2008 was the Alan Partridge film) or Atrocity Exhibition. Hadn't even heard of Infinity Pool.
"Crypto" needs to die.

It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. Right now, more people oppose it than support it and I imagine that's only going to increase between now and the referendum. Also, Australians have historically shown themselves to be pretty conservative when it comes to changing the constitution, most famously when they voted down the idea of becoming a republic.
On the other hand, our rulers have decided this must happen and I can't see them taking no for an answer. South Australia recently rammed legislation through parliament to set up their own version of the Voice without putting it to the public. I suspect the Federal Government will do the same.

LePen's probably always been more popular than Macron, but they'll never let her be President. The West has moved on from democracy.

Ballard was so, so good but sadly seems to have fallen into a bit of neglect since he died even as our society falls further into uniquely Ballardian forms of insanity.
It's been 20 years since I read JG Ballard's "Millenium People" but I find myself thinking about it a lot these days. Upon its release it seemed vaguely out of step with the times - while everyone was concerned with Islamic terrorism and the "clash of civilizations", Ballard was predicting the re-emergence of a radical and violent strain of politics which would come from the upper middle classes, most likely out of sheer boredom. It was a great read and, two decades later, it seems incredibly prescient. He followed it up with the similarly-themed, and also excellent, "Kingdom Come" then, sadly, went and died on us. I've been meaning to re-read both for a while but I never seem to get around to it. If anyone's read either recently I'd be interested to hear if they stand up as well as I remember.

That's a lot of bullshit crammed into one headline.

There's definitely an aspect to his work which is depressing but I think he's simply chronicling the era in which he lives and certain types of individuals who inhabit it, as opposed to Ligotti who's pessimism is truly cosmic in scope. @RedTower's point probably stands though - I think we're splitting hairs here.
I'm thinking of starting a blog using Nostr. Does anyone have any particular opinion on which is better, Habla or Blogstack?
Cool - thanks. I understood the fun thing, because people clearly enjoy it, but I was wondering if there was another angle. It makes more sense now.
