Core – 31st August 2025


The revolution will be televised and you won’t care;
– Devils dancing the jiggity jigs of despair.

The genocide will be televised and you won’t care;
– The murderers will pretend to be the victims there.

Your erasure will be televised and you won’t care;
– Numbed to the outcomes of this nightmare.


The theft of your property will be televised and you won’t care;
– Your rights to the algorithms will be labelled malware.

Your enslavement will be televised and you won’t care;
– Enchanted by the stories of everything elsewhere.


There’s a conflict at the core
of what everyone is fighting for.

The Chiang Rai Alternative Memorial for Tim Smith – 25th July 2020

Crave fun, brave sun, he keeps the world as his disguise
Slave hung, brave sun, the leader of the starry skies
From the tops of the trees
To the bowels of the Earth
Swings from pillar to post
‘Cos he’s here
And now
And now
He’s here

24 Cardiacs tracks randomly selected by iTunes, in memory of the genius of Dr Tim Smith, The Leader of the Starry Skies.

….never mind the war, take me home again
For the last time

Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful to have some energy this morning to ride my bike to get coffee. Great little exercise for me.
