Fun Fifa fact. Since I posted my Substack piece about Fifa’s post WC antics, UEFA has said they will boycott any Fifa events until Infantino withdraws plans to sell the game to American private investment companies. Seems that UEFA has found some balls, as it were. open.substack.com/pub/psipook/...
Selling football by the pound The 2026 World Cup is finished but Fifa's plundering is just kicking off New Substack from Chris Page open.substack.com/pub/psipook/...
Two more from the Infants Terribles exhibition at the Nakanoshima. Neither needs any commentary. Ironic Mishima by Morimura, and the huge space cat could only be by Yanobe.
Probably a bit difficult to see in this inadequate photo, but here we have a cat clad in a lacquer space suit curled comfortably around the hilt of a real (and made specially for the event) katana. Yanobe Kenji, of course and part of the Infants Terribles show at the Nakanoshima.
Love this take on Duschamp’s R.Mutt urinal by Yanobe Kenji as seen at the Infants Terribles show at the Nakanoshima. Show until July 19.
A few pictures from the Infants Terribles show by Morimura Yasumasa, Yanobe Kenji, Yanagi Miwa at the Nakanoshima Museum of art yesterday. Some bonkers imagination and humour.
Please, sir, can we have our football back? “… surely Mammon lapping at its own puddle of vomit.” Page’s new Substack article. open.substack.com/pub/psipook/...
Please, sir, can we have our football back? An oil monopoly, a hydration break, an authoritarian regime or two, a sweary walrus, a murder — where's our football gone? New Substack article from Chris Page open.substack.com/pub/psipook/...
Fun fact: Did you know, a trillion dollar bills laid end to end would stretch all the way to Mars nearly 110 times? Of course you knew that. Substack from Chris Page: A Trillionaire in Numbers psipook.substack.com/p/a-trillion...
A trillionaire in numbers — including an excursion to a time in which the world was populated by bacteria, as opposed to being just run by it, as it is now. New Substack. open.substack.com/pub/psipook/... #Musk #SpaceX #FirstTrillionaire
Instead of working like a good boy, I’ve been playing like a naughty boy, and put a live ‘fucks not given’ counter on the site, psipook.com Looks a bit odd on a mobile device, the counter exceeding the background, but it looks right on an up-to-date laptop browser.
I've opened a new FictionalShirts t-shirt store on TeePublic who seem to be giving big discounts on shirts at the moment. So, if you were interested in any of my shirts on Redbubble but not interested in their prices, you might like to take a butcher's at the new setup. tee.pub/lic/rikYqR1R...

The long arm of the absurd law Oops! I’ve been criminalised in the UK while living in Japan Substack post on the transnational criminalisation of protest by the UK psipook.substack.com/p/the-long-a...
Living in Japan, I may have broken UK law just by posting online. Expressing support for Palestine Action is illegal for British nationals — anywhere in the world. The Met resumed arrests this week. A court already ruled the law unlawful. psipook.substack.com/p/the-long-a...
Not one, but two supervisors this afternoon, watching over me to make sure I’m working hard enough to bring home the daily, er, fish. #cats
I remember when we had excuses for wars. Now, the mask has been thrown away. No more WMDs—just raw, transactional violence and a casus belli that is little more than casus bollocks. My latest on the nihilistic transparency of the current war: psipook.substack.com/p/the-naked-...
