Someone asked me what I do again the other day and it's kind of a long story as ever, so only about a decade late I've finally gone and written an About page: structureandnarrative.com/about/

blogged: Leaving them behind dbushell.com/2026/09/28/l... — small but significant change to my AI policy and content going forward

A lot of you "it's just a tool" types who "just use it to support research" are also committing these crimes of thoughtslop, seemingly without even realizing.

There's such stressful oversupply of words right now; this horrific tsunami of thought-shaped dead word bodies belched out of methane-fuelled computer buildings. It's so gross. But it also makes me think hard about every word and sentence I write. It kills me to think I could commit the same crime.

I love agrivoltaics news. Always send me more good agrivoltaics news. One day I will get around to the agrivoltaics project I have had shelved for years, meanwhile everyone please enjoy agrivoltaics and consider integrating some in any project you can. Agrivoltaics!

Me finishing up to submit before the application deadline

It was never Avocado Toast but it might be Squarepusher EP's and out-of-print Cybernetics books. 💸😬

Just learning about the existence of “Steven Pinker” and have to conclude that someone (Canada?) is churning out these weird celebrity academic clowns just to discredit the idea of the intellectual.

Now that Alex Kurtzman is Finally Fucking off Forever out of Star Trek I can. not. wait. for the near-inevitable Dept. of War funded anti-woke GI-JOE universe reboot. Just glorious, never before seen levels of hogslop. He is perfect for this.

lol god dammit

With the soggy sack of spuds seeing himself out, can't wait to see what despicable agglomeration of wet reject vegetables the UK finds to run itself next.

They should build loads of data centers all over the place that contain huge quantities of books that people can borrow for free if they fill out a form to get a data center card and promise to return the books on time and don’t make too much noise in the data center.

Rotterdam once again the true innovators here 🫡

Never before have I felt such seething hate combined with such helpless surrender as with people on Instagram in Amsterdam anno 2026 (at least, in my own culture/club/band/arts scene). Everyone despises it, but nobody is leaving because everyone else is there. A timebomb of malcontence.

The Hoya in my bathroom is blooming after hanging out for a couple of years and let me tell you that shit smells INCREDIBLE in the evenings.

I just saw on YouTube that they’re making another synthesizer. I guess the electronic music producers will be pleased 😕

Promoting music isn’t about making people aware of an album or a single. That’s an insufficient goal. It’s about conditioning the public to accept listening to music that goes against their individual self interest.

Maybe technology has failed and embarrassed humans enough times now that we can put it on the shelf to focus on other more promising forms of progress.

Academic deliver a one-page CV challenge. Level: IMPOSSIBLE

He is risen

International Art English is bad enough, but the current AI-generated International Art Slop in statements, proposals and descriptions of work is just excruciating. If you are an artist or curator doing this fucking stop it. Jesus Fucking Christ on a holy day what is wrong with you.

Fool, who have given everyting to artifical god. Repent, and find Dog.

I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives
