Here We Go Again...

-


Started the day faced with a link emailed from Jeff to a byeline on BBC online by the veteran war reporter John Simpson, in which he says that in all his long career, 2025 has been the most worrying year he can remember. Add to that a piece from today's i Paper about the increasing development of nerve agents by Putin's Russia, and the claims by the Russian leader that Ukraine have yet again been targeting Russian territory by drone* [disputed as yet], despite the so-called ongoing peace talks, and we have the rumblings of another Europe-wide conflict in the making. On the other side of the world, China is threatening further conflict with and annexation of Taiwan, that unresolved hangover from the original Revolution of 1949. Further to that, China is still an active supporter of Putin and Russia. *Trump goes on international media in support of Putin over claims that Ukraine has attacked Putin residences [he was informed allegedly by Putin himself on a phone call]: appeasement, anyone? Truly the shadow of the 1930's appears to still hang over the world: the principal antagonists may change but the global political import remains the same, and the lies that fuel global conflict also continue as the base modus operandi. Throw in the ongoing wars and conflicts in the Middle-East and we are as close to another world war as we've been since the last. God save us all from these psychopaths...

Of Feedback & Wobbles

Many years ago I came up with an analogy for poorly damped feedback loops. The feedback loop that prompted this frankly tart analogy was indeed a horror. Anyone who remembers shame-faced their first attempts at clutch control resulting in the good old kangaroo launch across the lights only to stall in the middle of the crossroads will have some idea of the kind of data transfer lag involved in said system. The analogy I made was that of a large blancmange. Untouched, a model of stasis and eminently stable and predictable; but prod the bugger and the resultant chaotic behaviour needs a very complex physical model and some very decent computing horsepower to predict its outputs, if at all. The system in question was a large and complex audio-visual display at what eventually became 'The Electric Mountain' in Llanberis. We were ultimately contracted to maintain the thing having been witness to and peripherally involved in its installation. Certainly not involved in its des...

A Time of Connection

I was just reflecting on the vacuum of continuity that's left behind when someone dies: that sudden sense of disjoint, of fracture, in one's personal history that takes one completely by surprise at the oddest moments. These pinch-points in memory can often yield some surprising revelations of fact about periods in one's past. One such occurred to me tonight, tending my rather lazy meal of pizza in its journey from shrink-wrap to mouth via the oven. Al's recent demise still catches me out from time to time: the space he left bounded by forty plus years of friendship. But the thing that struck me tonight was just how much change was happening on a personal and social level in the very early years of our acquaintance. Between moving here from Birmingham in September 1980 and our buying our first proper house eighteen months later, all manner of things occurred that would chart the course of our lives to the present day. At around the time of our meeting Alan & Irene [...

Messiah Complex

A spectre is haunting... America; and it isn't communism. It isn't radical Islamism. It isn't even capitalism itself. It's Christianity. A particularly pernicious, politicised Christianity. 'In God We Trust', One Nation Under God', etc., etc., are the tropes of a 'nation' that is the result of the colonisation of a foreign continent by a motley bunch of assorted European disaffects several hundred years ago. That much is history, and the native peoples of America are still struggling to cling on to what is, after all, their birthright. Whatever good was squeezed from the sour pith of colony in the middle part of the last century: civil rights, racial emancipation and equal rights for women and LGBTQ+ people of all stripes, is not now simply being eroded, but actually bulldozed over the cliff edge that separates human rights & freedoms, and the return of enslavement by difference. Difference of skin colour, race, gender or sexuality: a pick 'n...
