WHAT AM I AIMING TO ACHIEVE BY POSTING STUFF ON THE INTERNET?

We all tend to think we understand what is going on, and all the people who are levels behind ourselves in this multi level learning game are retarded. Which they are. But each time we move up a level, our old self appears retarded, compared with our present self. And hopefully that process keeps on […]

IS A DEPRESSION INEVITABLE?

 For October I had a break from blogging as well as using all social media. I then bounced back and did a post on Blogger every day through November, but quiting using social media platforms is probably going to be a permanent thing for me. Part of the reason for that is that I suspect […]

SIFTINGS #05 – MY QUICKIE POSTS FROM NOVEMBER 2023

As part of my ongoing experiments with testing out alternative platforms for blogging, in a feeble attempt to get around Google’s relentless blacklisting, recently I have mostly been posting short posts on my new Blogger account WWW.SIFT.CO.NZ (in the belly of the beast!) But I had a month off all social media and blogging for October, […]

This music video has probably been influencing my art for 32 years

Back in the 90’s there was awesome music. I miss all that amazing music! Screamadelica There’s no overestimating the importance of Screamadelica, the record that brought acid house, techno, and rave culture crashing into the British mainstream — an impact that rivaled that of Nirvana’s Nevermind, the other 1991 release that changed rock.

WHAT IS FACEBOOK UP TO NOW?

For the past eight or so years Facebook has been hiding my posts, and putting 30 day bans on my accounts. In order to use the platform at all I had to use three different accounts and rotate them as they were banned. And for at least the past three years my URL www.frot.co.nz was […]

IS ED SHEERAN A MIND CONTROLLED ILLUMINATI PUPPET?

Or more tellingly, are “his” fans? I don’t go on about popular music much these days because it is just too lame to pay attention to. But last week I was stuck in some heavy traffic and it turned to be caused by a flock of sheeple attending a concert by some talentless little twat […]

SEVEN DAYS IN THE DOGBOX

Like most people who have been on the internet since the dawn of time, I have set up accounts on every social media platform known to man (or more accurately, known to AI bots) and over the years have come to see the shortcomings in every one of them. Once, for about a year I […]

ART IS WHAT YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH

Was Andy Warhol a total asshole and part of the illuminati game?  My friend @in2itiveart thinks he was, but I always had a soft spot for his wonky looking art so was possibly a bit blinded to all this… She, on the other hand is no holds bared scathing about him: “He was such a […]
