aye. reminder: the entire british government is still on x. they still think x is a barometer of public opinion.
Perhaps the most telling sign that staying on X has made you worse than you used to be is that, just a few years ago, if I asked you: "Would you use a product from a company owned entirely by a man who sold child sexual abuse material?", you would have said no. You're no longer that person. I'm sorry to see it.

Keep reading that we've "cancelled" Ed Sheeran when what actually happened was: he kept doing all his concerts while sacking his support act and friend of thirteen years coz they said "Free Palestine". Ed Sheeran is not "cancelled". He did a show last night.

I appreciate how this is a popular front. People who love AI, people who hate AI, people who are mixed about AI can all come together and harmoniously say 'fuck the rationalists in particular'. It's a thing of beauty.

It becomes a LOT easier to argue to the general public that we shouldn't let the AI industry regulate itself when you can ALSO produce clear evidence that much of the AI industry appears to be steered by genuinely crazy weirdos with anti-social and anti-human ideas.

I just want them to know how much I hate them. I wish there was a way to get them to process how much they are hated for this. They are committed to losing even if they win. They fully plan on repeating the cycle of placeholding a new status quo until the GOP can get back to dismantling society.

As promised to link to my first actual Hookland book. It is only small, but covers a lot of the ghost soil. If enough of you buy it and like it there will be a Volume Two. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1068598123 It will also be available in an actual bookshop soon.
The coverplate of the book HOOKLAND FRAGMENTS VOLUME ONE by David Southwell featuring a picture of the Ghost Bear of Hookland by Maria Strutz and the following blurb:

I firmly believe David Southwell’s Hookland to be one of the great 
imaginative achievements of our age. One that will one day be 
spoken of the way Lovecraft’s Mythos is now. Hookland is the 
folklore of the county that exists on the edge of our vision, an 
unseen but sensed Britain that is at once familiar and strange. 
It is the land just to the left of where we live. David’s work is 
made even more remarkable by his open invitation for all to 
come and play there. Though of course visitors to Hookland 
must be wary, the county exacts its price from us all. – R.J. 
Barker, award-winning author of bestsellers such as The Bone 
Ships and Gods of Wyrdwood.

As a visitor I am more frequently in Hookland than the barrows 
and chalk downs of my childhood. – Roger Clarke, best-selling 
author of A Natural History of Ghosts.

Hookland is gold standard eldritch world building. – Ian 
Simmons, Fortean Times news editor.

This a shimmering place of deep time, cold wars, old gods and 
ever renewing mysteries.The heartland and home county of the 
restless and the outsider, a lamp glow to welcome the lost, a 
pole star for those who dare to step into the dark and follow its 
glorious glowing ghostlight. – Rose Ruane. Artist and writer of 
Birding and This Is Yesterday.

Hookland has been called many things. Psychic shrapnel 
embedded in place. A re-wilding of folklore. The English Eerie 
told in strange fragments. According to its creator David 
Southwell, nothing in Hookland is made up, just remembered 
differently.

Hookland Fragments Volume One offers both an introduction to 
Hookland and an exploration of its agenda of re-enchantment 
as resistance.
