A few years ago I learned that humans were going to return to the moon, they wouldn't land, that would come later if all things went well, but this mission, Artemis II, would take four people around the moon, the first people who would be anywhere near the moon in over fifty years. The last … Continue reading My Feelings On The Return To The Moon Are More Complicated Than I Thought They’d Be
Is It Time To Just Accept That Humanity Is Awful?
If anyone knows even a small bit about writing conventions, you'll probably notice, quite readily, that this title is an obvious example of Betteridge's Law Of Headlines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines "Any headline (or in this case, blogpost title) that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." Hell, my last blogpost followed Betteridge's … Continue reading Is It Time To Just Accept That Humanity Is Awful?
Should We All Just Be Conspiracy Theorists Now?
Of late, there has been a feeling that the conspiracy theorists have been vindicated. For years they tried to tell us about how the moon landing was faked, how 9/11 was an inside job, how Covid-19 is either a fake illness, or at least a less harmful one than the authorities are saying it is, … Continue reading Should We All Just Be Conspiracy Theorists Now?

Phase Three: Amnesia
In this blogpost, I talked about the reaction of world leaders, powerful people and famous people, to the genocide in Gaza, in terms of "phases": https://autismneurodiversity.com/2025/08/04/we-should-still-all-be-screaming/ Phase One: For the first approximately year and a half of the genocide, just keep deploying what I call the "Big Three" excuses, over, and over, and over, and … Continue reading Phase Three: Amnesia

Acton Was Wrong, Power Doesn’t Corrupt, It Does Something So Much Worse
Content Warning: I'll be talking about the Epstein Files, if you're feeling anxious or depressed right now, please come back to this blogpost when you feel able, and mind yourself. John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton, famously said, ‘power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely’: https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/absolute-power-corrupts-absolutely.html But I think Acton, and maybe this comes down to linguistic … Continue reading Acton Was Wrong, Power Doesn’t Corrupt, It Does Something So Much Worse
How To Start Recording Birdsong
I started recording bird song, and other vocalizations, in May of 2024. But funnily enough, I didn't really get into it properly until a bit later, preferring the camera over the microphone. This had a lot to do with the fact that, recording bird song has its fair share of frustration involved in it, and … Continue reading How To Start Recording Birdsong
The Media Is Telling You That You Are Worthless
