in my mind these kind of threads are a bit naff/ gauche, but that& #39;s really something i should get over. so: a thread of things i have written that i think are quite good, and that you might want to read as the last hours of the working week drip away!
this came out today: about the culture and reality (and how those two things terrifyingly intersect in the game BioShock) of eternity on the internet, from 60s short stories to dead people& #39;s facebook accounts https://www.thesocialreview.co.uk/2020/08/28/on-the-internet-no-one-can-hear-you-scream-because-you-dont-have-a-mouth/">https://www.thesocialreview.co.uk/2020/08/2...
as some of you may recall, i recently became a posadist, and wrote about it at some length. a review of "I Want To Believe" that is also about historical dead ends and the outter limits of political possibility https://www.thesocialreview.co.uk/2020/05/03/so-much-for-the-terrestrial-left-a-a-gittlitz-i-want-to-believe-posadism-ufos-and-apocalypse-communism/">https://www.thesocialreview.co.uk/2020/05/0...

every now and then i have even written about politics ! i didn& #39;t like this at the time but i now think it& #39;s probably a pretty good irish politics explainer for clueless brits. don& #39;t ask me how the election turned out https://www.thesocialreview.co.uk/2020/02/08/time-for-real-change-irelands-general-election/">https://www.thesocialreview.co.uk/2020/02/0...
