Tbh it was just mostly about the economy. The capitalist music is in serious danger of stopping, & Trump is maybe the guy who can keep the stereo on a few more years. That's the long and the short of it really.

I won't get into the details - but because reasons I am not as generous.

Hello! I came here expecting a bit more on the power couple today. I know this is a terribly lowbrow reference, but this now feels exactly like the episode of Family Guy where Peter Griffin takes a test to prove he's a genius and it's determined he is in fact retarded.

PJW is handsome, he very much wants you to know.

It's not amazing, but I don't think it's entirely off-base.

I've had to use the Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20131108200009/http://plover.net/~bonds/pandorasdocs.html Unfortunately the page listing Curtis links to LM has not been archived.

It's probably worth saying that 'The Moral Maze' on Radio 4 is basically owned by the former RCP. Andrew Doyle who used to write Jonathan Pie (no longer), and now writes Titania McGrath is a long-time Spiked columnist. Adam Curtis has also been linked with Furedi. Claire Fox runs the IEA and...

I was riffing on a Seinfeld joke tbh, but obviously that's way too middlebrow for dissensus. I actually learnt the word middlebrow from Reynolds. He was talking about music I liked lol.

Thanks for all of that! There's definitely a lot you could write about the model of thought development he outlines in his philosophising. I've just had sex, so it will be at least another 24 hours before I'm smart enough to respond to that. I suspect the gf and I chilling it out and moving to...

Perhaps, I mean if anything I am taking an anti-philosophical position by swatting away the notion that there is a moral principle that says we can't shut ppl the fuck up cos muh moral agency. So yes, basically agreed.

I should at this time point out that my recent essay is somewhat of a philosophical defence of cancel culture, albeit a defence against 'free speech absolutism' rather than me making a positive case for it. Yes Nina Power is name dropped! I will probably reversion it in a couple of weeks as a...

In a way it makes sense for almost everyone to get cancelled sooner rather than later - Sa Ta Na Ma and all that. How is everyone going to be famous for 15 minutes now that noone goes 'down the dumper' to use a much missed phrase from my Smash Hits reading pre-teens? People need to be fucked...

It's defiitely a name with baggage in England.

It was pretty ug. I swallowed the contaminant and then reached inside and pulled it out.
