England, In The Age Of Brexit, Is As Violently And Virulently Racist As Ever.

The events of Sunday and Monday fully confirm what we Black Brits have always known; when we win, we are English, but when we lose, we are monkeys, who should be sent back to our respective jungles. — In the last four weeks, over the course of the recently completed European football championships, I wrote a number of articles examining white working class stupidity, its endless attachment to the myth of English exceptionalism, and the notion of the island race, which has never been conquered by external forces.

How Is It That The Greatest Living Science Fiction Writer Has Only 41 Followers on Medium?

This revelation has me scratching my head… Until Wednesday night, I had no idea that Kim Stanley Robinson existed. If it weren’t for a new friend Joel Dinerstein whom I met in the most extraordinary circumstances a few days ago, I might have gone through life not having read or…

Boosted at Last, But Does It Make any Difference To The Numbers?

My two cents on our beloved platform’s much coveted incentive. It’s been nearly a year since Tony Stubblebine announced the boost incentive on Medium. And there’s been a number of articles extolling the virtues of being boosted and for the very longest time, I believed every one of them. Why…
