The Internet was never perfect. It was always a work in progress. That’s usually considered a phrase with a good connotation. But that depends on the side of the coin you’re looking at. It always begs the question, progress for whom? Calling it enhshittification is apt, but it’s also an insufficient description. It...

 The Scheme for Full Employment was Mills’ fourth novel, following on from my...

 (eg Why Isn’t Someone Doing
), What If
 (eg What If We Tried Doing
), and How Might
 (eg How Might We...
Still no rain. I had thought we had a hosepipe ban in Brighton but then I looked it up and it turns out I’ve been judiciously schlepping water about in the watering can for no reason. Using the hosepipe still felt like it ought to be illegal. The pond has lost about 30cm of water through evaporation and it can only...
