Congratulations. In a workplace where the pinnacle of excitement is usually debating font choices in PowerPoint, you’ve been handed a once-in-a-career event: your supervisor’s name and work email have appeared in the Epstein files. Jackpot, meet moral black hole.

The Surviving Fragment
The text that follows is, so far as current scholarship can determine, the only surviving fragment of The Complete and Collected Works of Patrick Knightsworth. All remaining manuscripts, proofs, typesettings, correspondence, and production materials were lost in the fire that consumed the Knightsworth Estate repositories and the Lloyd’s Banking Company archival strongrooms on 12 February 2019.
Sit Up Until the Anthem
It’s become quite a trend online for gormless influencer types to post videos about their 4 a.m. starts and their “grind mindset” routine. Gym before sunrise, a pharmacy of overpriced supplements, an overlong skin-and-face routine, followed by a breakfast of all-natural, non-fat, high protein, non lactose something-or-other with imported Indonesian berries sprinkled on top and…
Where the Road Breaks Off
Leonardo da Vinci left trails of half-completed work. The Brothers Karamazov was meant to begin a trilogy that never happened. Composers leave sketches that hint at a symphony that never arrives. There is even the case of J.M.W. Turner, who would turn up at galleries to amend paintings that were already hanging. I’ve heard it said of London that it will be a lovely city when they finally finish it. You stop where time stops you, and something is only finished until it isn’t.
The unexamined life is not worth loving
The unexamined life is not worth loving – I don’t know why that rephrasing of Socrates came to me while I was out on a hike this afternoon, but it seemed to get itself lodged in there so much that it was all I thought about for the time I was out there. For a…
What do we do now?
Thinking about my life, about its shortness, about the kind of world I’d like to leave behind, and about what forces are tearing that potential world apart. I also turned 40 this year, and that shit changes your perspective.
Just what the hell have I been doing for the last year
I’m not going to bore anyone with yet another droning story about the mundanity of the latest lockdown season. There will be no mention of Chakras or reconnecting with anyone or anything (including the self). I have spent the last year learning about photoshop and making stupid and juvenile film and television parodies that looks…

It’s been a long week
I’ve tried the 7 day free trial of this year, but don’t think I’ll be subscribing to the full version.

Hello and seasons greetings to you all. I’ve barely posted this year as I’ve been spending most of my free time working on Notflix. The page appears to be doing rather well (with a daily high of around 17,000 visitors), and the whole thing has been a fantastic learning exercise. I created an Instagram page…
Word up
Well, this has been an interesting year, hasn’t it? Look, it’s a pretty rough time, we all know that, but wallowing isn’t going to help anybody, so try let’s try and be positive, okay? To keep myself somewhat sane, and direct my energies to something constructive, I’ve spent the last several months growing this Notflix…
A fresh perspective doesn’t have to be a threat
I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I last posted anything on here. I had promised myself I would be more active with this site, but don’t seem to have been completely honest with myself in that one. The simple truth is that I’ve been flat out with a project that I can’t…

On the Isle of Mull
On a tour bus, lumbering along the winding and rain drenched roads across the Isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland. He’s taking photos through the condensation covered windows, she’s trying to sleep through her travel sickness. “It makes the landscape look like a rural version of a Turner painting” “Very good,” she…
