On Body Politics, Modification and Identity

Jim H. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Warning: Trolls will be bahleeted! One of the basic assumptions of you having arrived on this site is that you can understand the concept of subjectivity. Thank-you. NB: If you are squeamish, or have a problem with modifications – skip this post. Links are NSFW. So for a while there have been thes...

A lesson in the definition of 'political puppet'

Jim H. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
This video is quite shocking, if only for revealing the extent of things. The speakers are John Howard, then PM of Australia, and Stephen Harper, now PM of Canada. As you can see, within 2 days of each other, they give identical speeches to their respective parliaments, both calling for their countr...

Prop 8 Protests

Jim H. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
So I thought I’d post some videos from the protests against Prop 8, passed on Nov. 4th banning gay marriage – because, well, it’s pretty cool to see communities galvanize themselves for justice like this. (Via) It still boggles my mind that Prop 8 went through. If we ever needed evidence that ...

R.A.W. and Mencken on Economics, etc.

Jim H. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I just want to bring a couple of very interesting essays to your attention, both of which serve as useful correctives to the recent news coverage of the ‘financial crisis’. The first is by one of my favourite people, the late Robert Anton Wilson. (If you haven’t read Prometheus Rising or Quant...

Muntader Al Zaida – Shoe Thrower and "Iraqi Hero"

Jim H. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm

On Chris Brown and Rhianna

Jim H. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
So, Jim and I are not actually dead and are still floating around in cyberspace somewhere… we’re just snowed under with assignments and thesis research right now. Wanted to do a short post about Chris Brown having abused Rhianna. Really, the most worrying aspect of this case is how it’s been r...

Advertising cars to the post-ironic generation

Jim H. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Car adverts have always been a little weird… but that was mainly because they depicted a fantasy world in which very very shiny things drive around on very very windy roads (where fortuitously there are no other shiny things around, except maybe the Sun, to detract from the big shiny phallus that ...

American Papist – the hotlinking affair, and One More Promethean's revenge

Jim H. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
  The other day, we noticed a new link to us on our wordpress admin page. It was, disappointingly, merely someone hotlinking to a picture we were hosting (and thus using up our bandwidth). This was especially annoying as the site in question was ‘American Papist’, which apparently has had over ...
