The House and the Senate are back under Democratic control. It’s a great first step. It’s a huge sigh of relief. Most of the rest of the world applaud the thorough spanking the mid-terms have delivered to the Republicans who are now starting to see the actual backlash of being Trump lackies. However it is just the...

This morning I read “Slow Living” post from Requiem. I never considered this. Me as a child and now watching my own grow, expecting fast learning. Now 40, I think about the many years it has taken me to properly read, write, draw with colour, speak fluent Dutch, interact with strangers, even think... A journey to...

La locura que tiene que ser para tres chavales de un pueblo de mil y pico habitantes en plena Siberia extremeña (Casas de Don Pedro, por si alguien tiene la curiosidad) pasar de tocar en una cochera y en salas pequeñas a salir de gira por Europa y a tocar en el FIB, compartiendo cartel con gente como Two Door Cinema...

The first night of Blink, the biennial celebration of light and art in Greater Cincinnati, was a bit challenging. Usually it doesn’t get dense until the weekend, but the sidewalks were already cramped this Thursday. Installations seemed fewer and farther between, light projections stacked artist animations one after...

This was my second book of the month of Octoer (even if I actually started it earlier than Left Hand of Darkness) and the spookiest of the three. It’s all about cosmic horror, existential dread, fear of the unknown and all of that mumbo jumbo that is often attributed to H.P. Lovecraft but well, it actually comes...

Moralische Imperative durchdeklinieren, während man das Bad putzt. Das klappt mit Lappen, Scheuermilch und Rage Against the Machine auf den Ohren verhältnismäßig gut. Die Armaturen strahlen poliert. Spiegel und Gewissen glänzen streifenfrei, wenigstens für eine kurze Zeit. Das skizziert, mit wenigen Worten, die mal...

2026-11-04 ¿Qué puedo escribir sobre Pokemón Rojo que no se haya dicho ya? De entrada que se escribe Pokémon, pero acá en este país, por alguna razón se pronuncia Pokemón, lo que nos da una variación en el mundo hispano, como los que pronuncian Góku contra Gokú. Bueno, cuenta sobre el juego El original lo pude jugar...

October 2026. Greater Manchester. In Manchester for a cut and a curry before my first trip to the Etihad in ages. The city is setting up the Christmas markets, but it’s naturally beautiful. I’ve had two pints of Holt Bitter, and however alluring the OBB in Sinclairs seems I know a double espresso in Cafe Nero is the...

I've pulled my invite-only experiment after four days. I had planned to run it for a month, but it's already clear that the costs outweigh the benefits.Spam signups dropped to almost zero, which is a win, but legit signups – which require an invite code, or an email to me asking for one – dropped sharply. People...

It is the morning after a historic election day with not much time to write. Here's the Facebook post I made just after midnight: I fell asleep early-ish for an election night (by 9 p.m.), early-ish for most grown ups on any night, and scrolling through results at midnight, I'm struck by how many of the winners are...
