I’m busy thumbing this email while on the last train back home. If it sends, it sends. The signal is meh. I had a catch up with a friend who I’ve not seen in forever. We shot the shit, had…

2025 has been wild. The internet has shifted massively, especially on social media and the overall social side of things. Artists have become commoditised and the majority of us saw this coming (Writers of all types, painters, musicians etc) The…

There’s a new type of energy floating around social media, and it’s not the good kind. I’m calling it “Dig Bick Energy” The not-so-nice flaccid cousin of Big Dick Energy. Instead of confident competence, it’s just digging into topics you…

I’m still sick as a dog right now. The kind of sick where breathing feels like a conscious effort and my voice sounds like I’ve been gargling gravel for sport. Although I’m just being dramatic cause drama makes email writing…

Give me your tired, your sleepless, your weary minds yearning to think clearly… And I’ll remove brain fog and all of the icky gross shit that is tied to it. Although firstly: This isn’t medical advice and if you do…

If you want a portal back to when the internet wasn’t exceptionally shit, this browser extension will be a must have. With the mountains of AI generated trash being blasted into cyberspace since every “creator” made ChatGPT their entire personality,…

Jokingly and for fun content. A lot of us talk about our own little cults we’ve grown. (This email list as an example…) Which in a nutshell is just a bunch of awesome humans who love my rants and ideas…

It’s weird writing this. I don’t usually scroll social media for long periods of time and that’s just the way I’ve always been. Although today I thought I’d have a little poke and prod around. Just over 4ish hours of…

If you’re fan of the insanity of pop culture like I am. Chuck Klosterman will hit you with cultural autopsy of epic proportions… Chuck is someone who understands that the stupid shit we obsess over reveals more about humanity than…

Here are 3 lessons to learn from that film Idiocracy. The thing is. Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy. It wasn’t supposed to become an instruction manual. But here we are in 2025, watching Mike Judge’s dystopian satire play…

A good friend of mine decided to jump into the world of email marketing and building her cult around the things she loves and enjoys. So I put together a tailored document for her to follow. There is nothing new.…

This is a quick one today. So remember this… Writing can be an escape. Writing can be an act of optimism. Writing can be an act of resistance. Writing can be rage, spite, power. It can be the way out,…

If you do this, you’re not a creator you deem to be. I’d just call you a rolling public hazard instead. It fees like only last night I doom scrolled for exactly nine minutes and watched no fewer than seven,…

A buddy just dropped a Steam gift in my lap like it’s no big deal. He knows I’ve been sick as a dog lately. The gift? ARC Raiders. I accepted it. Of course I fucking accepted it. I’ve got the…

I had the cruelest dream. It’s 1999. Saturday morning. Sun’s slicing through the blinds like it’s got nowhere better to be. I roll out of bed, boxers half mast, hair looking like I lost a fight with a lawnmower. Stumble…

This is the tech-y email you need to pay attention to. Fraud and identity theft is at an all time high right now. “But Stephen, I’m good. My security is on point!” It might be. Until it isn’t. People have…

I think I’m a day or two away from being back to my regular ol’ self again. It’s not been fun being man down while becoming an empty puddle of whatever? (Mentally that is) I’m starting to get hungry again…

During the last week and a bit of being ill. There’s one thing I’ve always neglected on the road to recovery. And that one thing was learning to breathe well… Especially when you’re coughing up parts of your lung while…

Time for one of my regular soap box rants… Yes I’m still sick, but I’m miles better. I’ve somehow magically recovered my ability to think and put words down again. Although during this period of man-flu-whatever, I did a bit…

I hate missing my daily emails because they’re cathartic for me. However, I’ve been stuck in bed with a combination of a migraine so intense, I’ve not been able to be subject to bright lights, while feeling as if someone…

Saw a Dragon Ball Z ad on YouTube today and suddenly I’m eight years old again, racing home from school to catch the latest episode, arguing with friends about whether Goku could beat Superman, and spending my little bits of…

I’m not much of a news fan. But the last few days have been insane. I won’t go into detail, but here in the UK it just seems to be getting worse as the days go on. (and yes there…
