doesn’t rain, but it pours…
This month has been a blur. Not sure if I’ve ever written about it because my head has been up my arse. I’ll give you the TL;DR. I was told that my suspicions were right about by mom. She’s been diagnosed with early onset dementia. (Luckily it was caught early, so there’s still great treatments…

A sneaky trick to give you unlimited peace…
Now before I give you the sauce, you know I like to troll people online sometimes. I’m never malicious but I do like to push buttons and well even in person I like a little debate/argument here and there… I see it as character development and entertainment. It’s also another little trick that rallies people…

We’re goin’ to Skool
I haven’t died. I’ve just been working on something a few people have requested. So I’ve decided the best/safest/most secure place to hang is on Skool. I can share all the cool stuff there and then if people want to give me money for other things I’m building in there, they have the chance to…

A birthday and fear come true.
So It’s been a little bit of a roller coaster the past few days. I’m not gonna sugar coat it at all. It was my birthday yesterday which I don’t really care much about. But then later on in the day I got a call from my mom and it wasn’t the type of phone…

Horror will be the death of me
…and when I do inevitably cross over the rainbow bridge or whatever, just chop up my body and feed me to the worms… (Wow Stephen, you’re being dramatic!) Yes, yes I am… I’ve been catching up on a couple of horror books I’ve left dangling 3/4ths through and thought then only way I could get…

This is a dicatorship.
So I actually sat down just to type this super in-depth email and then I got to the end and I was like, “Wow this doesn’t even make sense.” Then I got up, put my earphones in, and I just started to talk. Lately I’ve just found it much easier to just let the words…

You have to move in silence.
Besides enjoying this heatwave here in ol’ England. I’ve been creating some really cool things that nobody will probably ever know of. Doing this would probably irritate Gary Vee, cause he’s always been the “Document, don’t create.” dude. I’ve just found that if I don’t tell anyone about it. I keep myself hyper fixated on…

Promises and predictions keep ’em hooked.
The drop that ends careers, topples the powerful, sets the whole rotten scaffolding on fire… While setting us free and resetting our humanity has been promised for years by the online activist group Anonymous. Twitter fills your eyeballs up with The Epstein Files promise and it’s gotten to the point where everyone who is waiting…

hornybaiting
Didn’t have this on my 2026 bingo card. Didn’t even want to write about this. But here we are… Over the last 18 or so months and in some weird capacity or other, I’ve had to help some real dumbasses claw back money they have sent to fake people. I don’t just mean fake influencers…

Learn, do and teach will set you free…
I nearly slipped to my death tonight. Funnily enough. I go out for a lot of hikes around where I am. If you’ve ever knocked about “up norf” here in England. You’ll know there’s some good spots. More so Rivington and also The Lake District. Anywho. Usually it’s a solo mission. Me, a podcast or…

How to make writing great again
The blank page sucks. And I often get sucked into writing writing, instead of writing like I talk. I can sit down and write a short story in an hour and it will need almost no editing. (That’s the writing writing) Then I think I’m hot shit and can write emails like that… Then reality…

Furey-ess fanboyism
There are a handful of people who have genuinely changed my life. And in these emails I share them with you all because I believe they can do the same for you, no matter where you are on your creative/artistic/business journey. Even if you just want to think a bit differently as someone who writes.…

The real villain screened before the trailers
As I walked into the movie theatre. The lights go down. Good. Here it comes. Web slinging, quippy kid, the whole friendly neighbourhood circus and good stuff… Except it doesn’t come. Not yet. First there’s twenty minutes of something else, and I’m sitting there in the dark with an overpriced Pepsi and a growing suspicion…

Erasing the 18th Century to Write Better Spam
Something something paper shredder… I was actually pissed when I saw a bunch of these articles pop up on my feed. A couple of friends sent these to me as well and it’s just enraged me even more… Right now, in some sterile, fluorescent lit warehouse a machine is literally flaying the skin off our…

The analog rebellion
Everyone is finally starting to wake up with a massive, throbbing digital hangover. PDF this, Course that or “Wanna jump on a zoom call to see if you qualify?” We’ve spent the last decade gleefully uploading our entire conscious experience into invisible server farms, and the result is that we all feel like translucent, floating…

Weaponised mentalism and the Lennart Green approach to selling
If you walk around outside and have a little look around… What do you see? Especially if you’re in a built up area where thousands of people rush around… You see a sprawling, drooling horde of sleepwalker. Now if you tie this into every social media platform. We are living in an era of absolute…

Why I am praising the movie everyone is crying about
Right now, I am sitting in the sun, cracking open a cold can of Green Monster Nitro, and watching the entire internet have a collective, pants wetting meltdown… The digital mob is shrieking. They are rending their garments and gnashing their teeth over Christopher Nolan’s new 2026 adaptation of The Odyssey. The casting choices that…

The cult of Jimothy
Every once and a while a little something wholesome goes viral on the ol’ internets. And when that something wholesome goes viral. It puts the world right, even for a short little while. Enter Jimothy. Cute little trash panda aka raccoon who has a spinal deformity, just living his best life. If you’ve had enough…

How to gracefully exit your own Truman Show
You can feel it, can’t you? It’s a low frequency hum vibrating right behind your molars. It’s the sudden, nauseating realisation that the sky above you isn’t actually the sky, but a massive, painted dome, and the director in the control room is an plethora of bots feeding on your dopamine… We are all living…

The math, the madness, and the dead postman
I know I’ve been a ghost lately. I have been buried alive in the math and staring into the abyss of endless Google Colab notebooks… The ghost of a 19th century postman named Anthony Trollope slapped me right across the mouth. (And frankly, we all need a good slap from a dead Victorian mail carrier…

Why I do the things that make zero sense
You look at my life from the outside and it probably looks like a chaotic, steaming pile of mismatched garbage. Like a glorious, festering soup of hyper fixations. You see me sitting in a dark room, bathed in the sickly glow of a cathode ray tube television, sweating bullets while I stack pixelated blocks in…

Why you must eat the internet’s garbage (so they don’t have to)
We both know that blindly hoarding social media followers is a hollow vanity metric. If there is no actual, iron clad business trust anchoring those people to the floorboards, you just have a loud room full of strangers. You want to build a following that trusts you implicitly. You want to weave a cosy little…
-
Rehumanisation
You’ve done it. You’ve successfully outsourced your soggy grey matter to a glowing rectangle of silicon and misery. Don’t look away. I’m talking directly to you. Yes, you. The one reading this on a screen while your actual, physical body slumps over like a half melted cheese wheel. (I do like cheese too) We are…

Pay it forward.
So I’ve taken a bit of time off just to kind of have my 30th existential crisis. (I think I’ve hit a new world record tbh) Usually I just go to a little coffee shop down the road from me and I have a very boring and plain breakfast, just eggs on toast and a…

You got this
This is just a friendly reminder that you’ve got this. I’m proud of you even if you are going through some shit. I know you might not have anybody close to you that will say that but I am genuinely proud of you. The fact that you choose to show up every single day, do…

They don’t shoot you anymore
They just turn the volume down… There’s a moment and you’ll know it when it lands, because it lands like a cinderblock dropped from a great height, where you stop being a bystander to the world and start being a witness to it. Different words but wildly different jobs. Bystanders well, they just stand by…
-
A little conspiracy theory as a treat
Here we go again. So the government and the tech platforms are pushing age verification and social media bans for under 16s and some sort of a curfew too. “We’re here to protect the kids online,” they say. Bullshit. Let’s be clear about what’s actually happening. They’re building surveillance infrastructure. Digital ID requirements to access…

The only brain hack you’ll ever need
It’s officially been a week and I’m sugar free. No chocolates, no cakes or no caffeinated drinks layered with it too. (The energy drink sacrifice is a big thing too) I still have a black coffee here and there but that’s it, no more sugar… The brain fog lifting has been immense. It’s like I’m…

Elon Musk what?
Today was a litmus test for people with an IQ above room temperature. I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention in the news. Elon Musk has now been valued as the world’s first trillionaire and you know what happened? The left wing mob, the insane liberals, went absolutely batshit crazy on Twitter and Facebook…

Sighcosis.
Funny thing is, I was just looking around on the internet today and I was wondering what was going on. There seems to be a whole bunch of psychosis unfolding as we speak. I’m just getting back into the flow of things, just paying attention to what people are saying, doing etc. From my point…
