Hi! My name is Josh, this me blog.

The dance of pleasing the social media algorithims of the world’s biggest companies, whilst being beat to death by strangers with their comments displeased me so now I’m here.

I wish I were the kind of person who could just live without broadcasting. But there’s an animal inside me — right down in the marrow — that keeps asking ‘can you see me?’ and silence has never once soothed it.

  • It’s actually crazy that public policy for resuming work and life in Australia is hinging on an unknown, possibly non-existent, possibly not effective, not tested, Covid vaccine.

    It’s like me saying I’ll stop punching you once an alien spaceship arrives.

    You’re going to have some bruises and you’ll probably never see an alien.

  • Boat & chopper looking for a Great White Shark that killed a surfer yesterday.

    Reminds me of the ep of Chappelle’s Show where the Police call it an open & shut case of break & enter because they found a black man in a house where he’d put up pictures of his family everywhere.

  • Dear whitegoods manufacturers, no one on God‘s green earth ever requested a feature where your machine would beep when finished. Please remove the beeps from all whitegoods in the future.

    Yours sincerely, Josh.

  • I’ve just tonight finished reading Malcolm Gladwell’s book ‘Talking to Strangers” and I’d safely call it one of the most important and helpful books released in 2020.

    Despite 2020, the wedding industry is still the best place to be employed.

    Except for working at KFC of course. The easy and direct access to fried chicken is obviously really cool.
