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?
Once More, From The Top, Fuck The BBC
You know, sometimes I wonder is it finally time to change the name of this blog to "What Did The BBC Do This Time?" It seems to be what I talk about a lot these days. And ten years ago, I would have been surprised about the fact a lot of my life is now … Continue reading Once More, From The Top, Fuck The BBC
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
The Media Is Telling You That You Are Worthless
So, something came on my radar over the last few days, which made me lose even more hope for this year called 2026. How can things seem so bad only 23 days in? And this is something I'd have preferred to ignore, and I was going to ignore it, for the sake of my health … Continue reading The Media Is Telling You That You Are Worthless
I’ve Never Been Happier To Be Proven Wrong In My Life
I made a statement on this blog recently with a high level of certainty, I felt there was virtually no chance I would be proved wrong. And in less than 12 hours, I WAS proved wrong. And it's the happiest I've been in a long time. The statement I made is in my previous blogpost: … Continue reading I’ve Never Been Happier To Be Proven Wrong In My Life
Every Day I Check The News To See If Heba Muraisi Is Still Alive

I Yearn For The Days Of 2+2=5. Now We’re Into 2+2=Rectangle.
I'm going to start with a quote from 1984, even though quoting 1984 when talking about tyranny and political badness is such a cliché. “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” But here's the thing. I wish for the days of 2+2=5. Because … Continue reading I Yearn For The Days Of 2+2=5. Now We’re Into 2+2=Rectangle.
Do You Condemn Jens-Frederik Nielsen?
Good day to you, I'm completely Empty BBC Presenter. Now, this will be a very unusual episode, because while it is 8th January 2026 where you are, this broadcast is actually taking place 2 months in the future, on 8th March 2026. Perhaps it's down to wormholes or Higgs bosons or something, but our boffins … Continue reading Do You Condemn Jens-Frederik Nielsen?
