Hi! My name is Josh and this is my personal blog, my web log.
The dance of pleasing the social media algorithims of the world’s biggest companies, whilst being beat to death by strangers with their comments displeased me so now I’m here.
I wish I were the kind of person who could just live without broadcasting. But there’s an animal inside me — right down in the marrow — that keeps asking ‘can you see me?’ and silence has never once soothed it.

I thought I'd take the time to tell you an old story from the first time I ever thought about a wedding, it was actually 25 years ago this month.
So on this one faithful August night in 1995, I was about to propose to my girlfriend when my roommate Joseph barged onto the verandah out of nowhere, tripped and fell over, breaking a glass outdoor table with his face.
Totally ruined the mood.
Now, I didn't know Joseph that well, I can't even remember where he was from, but I'm sure you could imagine I put my plans on hold to help get him to the hospital.
Joseph had gotten big glass shard in his eye leaving him completely blind in that eye. He was walking around with one of those cotton pads on his eye for a couple of months. Then suddenly, he disappeared, along with my girlfriend!
Apparently they'd bonded during the time after his injuries, and they eloped together, leaving me behind without as much as a note. I tried to track them down, but never could.
As happy as I am today, if it hadn't been for cotton eye Joe, I'd have been married a long time ago.
Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, cotton eye Joe?

So I hire a car from Avis for the night because that’s the easiest and most simple way to get to Brisbane Airport early tomorrow morning, and only $10 more than an Uber and the Airtrain.
Now someone’s crashed into the hired car.
My life is so exciting.

Meanwhile young and attractive humans are dancing for free to pop hit songs in 15 second segments on an advertising and government propaganda network.

The best part about Luna learning the word ‘no’ is that when she says ‘no’ loudly to my face in no way does that trigger any deep-rooted rejection trauma and I’m totally ok with it. Parenting is so easy.

A lady has just taken a photo of me and obviously thought I couldn’t hear her speaking. She thought it was beautiful and sad that I was the only person on the whole beach, sitting by myself, reading.
In case you see me go viral, I want to state that I’m quite happy.

This wasn’t a collaboration with Bechtel with a contract and payment; it was Apple doing a favour under the table for the Department of Energy. But access for that favour went only so far.

Nick Cave on Cancel Culture, and mercy.
”Mercy is a value that should be at the heart of any functioning and tolerant society. Mercy ultimately acknowledges that we are all imperfect and in doing so allows us the oxygen to breathe — to feel protected within a society, through our mutual fallibility. Without mercy a society loses its soul, and devours itself."

Did you know that if you bury a flatearther when they die, they actually pop out the other side of the disc because the earth actually rejects them, like when you get a little splinter in your finger, your body pushes it out.

"Very little art arose out of the Spanish flu" a guest on a podcast recently commented.
