Serbia and Brazil - let's gooooo!! 💪😍🥹💫🍾 Huge congrats - ah that sweet hope 💘

Summer season for swimming here in Copenhagen is now over, but I'm continuing? Learning a proper front crawl and not wanting to end it? Doing ~45 mins every Weds morning in open waters. And will try to get to the winter? It'll become challenging, but I'm excited.

Did two more sessions since then - Both 25 min sessions in two rounds, temperature 8-10 celsius. Very invigorating, gonna keep going to lower temperatures!

I dedicate much of the latter half of my book to industry consolidation. The conclusion is that videogames are an incredible art form in urgent need of liberation from draconian modes of production that will suphocate it and destroy it. Unbelievable the speed with which it's all taking place.

To put it very crudely - capitalism giveth, well it'll taketh away, too. Except there are arguably millions of livelihoods on the line now, too.

This is so important. Less yapping, at times racist drivel (ahem Green Party), and more of this, please! Actual direct action, travelling to the region and standing between the psycho settlers and defenceless Palestinian residents. Respect to Lander and hopefully more of this will follow.

Same people who will fetishise the French riots will opine that their "courageous" fight about nonsense words in actual activism. Honestly laughable. Go and get your hands dirty fighting alongside people on the ground attempting to stop a genocide. Oh noooo, that would require

Not even sure why I got inspired to talk abt this here, perhaps in search of some community, but thanks for reading & wish me luck in trying to improve my technique and do proper winter bathing and do some tiny small endurance swimming! (The Baltic Sea running through Copenhagen here in the pic✨)

The way I see it there are 2 ways income is experienced rn: The precariat - salaried workers at all times anxious abt being laid off and / or indeed constantly being laid off, and passive income "earners" (landlords, trust fund kids, stocks / dividends kids). Seemingly very little exists in between!

Thrilled to be here amongst many great speakers. Great to be in Zurich for the first time - the city is like if Stockholm and Monaco had a baby, whoa!

Already managed to think my talk is today not tomorrow so brainbox clearly spaghetti moosh, but I guess better that way around than the opposite lol:) So Zurich folk, if you managed to grab a ticket - see you tomorrow 10am here ✨ gamespace.ch

Drafted this earlier today so maybe repetitive, but stands - I got hundreds of takes that I'm trying to stop myself from uttering, as 99% of the discourse is useless yapping that doesn't achieve anything, at best and poisonous racist drivel at worst, but on exactly that note - I do not see a 1/4

My suspicion is that people refuse to do it as they'd then have to deal with the left wing and anti-occupation movements in Israel, and with everything that is being yapped right now - it may be hard to look some people in the eye. Still one can hope. 4/4

diversity of tactics. I see homogeneity of tactics ie yapping and useless, marginal, counterproductive motions. If 1% of the energy put there would be given to practically going to the region and being a protective presence - perhaps things would be different. I've done it, it's miserable - 2/4

A million things to say about the whole ordeal and how the UK Greens motion is counterproductive at best and hella racist at worst. All that aside, if looked at from a proper materialist lens - you know what would have been cool and rad? UK Greens saying "We, the British Empire, 1/3

have historically made a mess there in Mandatory Palestine, reparations are in order. We'll motion to take responsibility and pay to undo our colonial actions over there leaving chaos and destruction behind." But they didn't, they wouldn't! 2/3

Shoutouts to "Dressmaker". 💘 My mum is a seamstress so I'm so happy her profession is getting all this love.

Am really deep in researching the marathon swimming community, some unbelievable characters there. Full-time vets and teachers doing casual 5 hours in Norwegian winter waters or 54 hours (!!?) doing English channel four ways. Whaaat!
