huh look what Instagram just served me, since writing this post, I hope Meta gets completely cleaned out by the families of the kids they've damaged

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel," the opening line of Gibson's Cyberpunk masterpiece Neuromancer, describes such different things when it was published in 1984 vs 2026

Iain Sinclair 1, Will Self nil

Will Self just says oh it’s just ‘walking with attitude’ which is what the show is called if you want to find it is called Walking with Attitude.

Iain Sinclair:

Yeah, I think that’s what it isn’t. Anymore, you know, that’s what it’s become. What if it’s walking without attitude?

In case anyone missed this

Photo of a weird big-faced figure holding an ice cream cone wearing a sweater that reads FREEDOM with headline "New York Sculptor spent $100K to make a Charlie Kirk statue no one wants to buy"

Sergio Furnari, originally from Italy, had hoped the statue of the deceased far-right activist, which he intends to display in Times Square, would raise "millions" of dollars.
Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture.

I self-distributed the film in the UK & Ireland because I couldn't find a distributor, designed the poster myself & cut the trailer. The film later got picked up as the first release by then-new Wildcard Films (you may remember them from such films as Kneecap) & it's still going.

Film poster for the film Barbaric Genius - text reads "COMING SOON
"PSYCHOTIC AXE-WIELDER OR LITERARY MASTER,-WHO IS JOHN HEALY?"

*BLOODY HELL - THAT'S QUITE A DOCUMENTARY.

For my Patreon I am re-reading books that made a strong first impression on me but which I have never revisited. The first book I've chosen is Edith's Diary, by the great Patricia Highsmith, possibly her bleakest. It's free to read. If you like it, please share: www.patreon.com/weirdandconf...

Seeing the family of Yves Sakila grieving him in the spot outside Arnotts where he was killed by security guards was a wrenching, awful sight. I hope they get justice.

In that long interregnum while you try to get another movie funded, stuff like this can keep a guy going. And what a list to be on. Thanks, Felipe (who doesn't seem to be on BS but we're mutuals on @letterboxd.social)

Selling a bunch of old comix (including early Alan Moore Warrior issues), movie mags, press books (including some cool stuff like Mad Doctor of Blood Island from 1966, but also a lot of late 90s stuff like Face/Off), 2000ADs from the late 80s, more stuff. If you know anyone who's into this stuff-

But it seems that somewhere along the way, the party leadership came to consume their own messaging, like an AI being trained on its own output. They came to genuinely think that their voters (and not just the grim inhabitants and owners of the UK's media) wanted them to mistreat immigrants, trans people, old people and so on. They spent two years in power actually doing those things and indicating they meant to do even more of it. And now they have staggered back from the absolutely obvious consequences of all of those choices in shock and dismay.

Yeah I mean why not, it's not like there's any negative connotations to the name

For example, a hacker who somehow abused ChatGPT to gain access to your recent payments can use that information to craft a believable phishing email, because they would know the exact date you purchased something from a specific merchant and exactly how much you paid.

It's very difficult to read about this threatening, abusive & violent march through Palestinian districts without thinking about Loyalist parades in NI that intimidate Catholics year in, year out with full support from the UK government.

If you're in Ireland, email your Sinn Féin TD immediately before their party votes against what the country voted for in a landslide- REPEAL.

Mr O’Snodaigh

I have always given you a preference in any election as I feel SF are preferable to FF & FG but if Sinn Féin votes down the Reproductive Rights amendment this evening I will never be able to give any SF candidate so much as a ninth preference in future. I worked and donated in order to help get the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution removed. The country voted for it in a landslide. Irish women are still not able to access abortion services as they are legally entitled to do and this amendment is an important step forward.

Please speak to your party leader urgently and let her know that SF is in danger of being just another FF or FG. We don’t need a third centre-right party in Ireland.

One of the reasons I love the area of Dublin I live in is you can walk out of your house and find someone out oil-painting the place, because it's pretty.

A lot of uptake too from local kids taking advantage of our colouring station to give their interpretation of the work (and the staff)

Taking down the show today. It's been hugely successful with local people of all ages as well as art-world people (some of whom visited repeatedly). We proved you can create an arts space out of nothing if you have good people & the will. Are we going to keep doing it? Watch this space.
