Mock movie poster for Danger Days. Two men stand back to back, their weapons levelled in opposite directions. The Killjoys logo is overlaid and the text: Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back

This song is my second favourite from this album but the most appropriate to this playlist. I enthusiastically encourage you to go and listen to Sing, which is my favourite. And then, when you’re enticed and confused, go check out the rest of the album and its extras. Because this album is a tiny (awesome) post-apocalyptic science fiction […]

Another Reason Programming and Writing are More Similar Than You’d Think

Once upon a time, for reasons that I could explain but that don’t make a lot of sense now, I learned to code. Not to the point that I could really use it for anything but enough so that I have a functional understanding of the basics of how code works and some of its […]

Album cover of The Pretenders' 'Break Up the Concrete'. A photo of someone from the knees down with dirty trousers and shoes directing a road drill into the ground and, well, breaking the concrete.

Now don’t tell me it’s progress cause that’s just a lie And don’t even try to come up with an excuse why We were so busy worrying about them dropping the bomb We didn’t notice where our enemy was really coming from

The shape of a running person made out of fire

So you know how a couple of weeks ago when I first started thinking about the new book I said this story was really small? One character.* One drama. One POV. You remember when I said that? Turns out, I was wrong. Because there was a second character.** He’s always been there. Always been important. […]

Back of album cover for NOFX's "Regaining Unconsciousness". A group of zombies listening to music. Above them the lyrics of the song are written through the clouds.

First they put away the dealers, keep our kids safe and off the street. / Then they shooed away the bums, then they beat and bashed the queers, turned away asylum-seekers, fed us suspicions and fears. We didn’t raise our voice, we didn’t make a fuss. It’s funny there was no one left to notice […]

Screen shot from Mika's music video "Kick Ass". Mika standing defiant against a brick wall in blood and dirt as though he's recently been roughed up.

This song is kinda more of an anthem and is really fun to run to. We are young We are strong We’re not looking for where we belong We’re not cool We are free / No bridge to burn Nowhere to turn

I have a… problem isn’t the word, but it’s close. There’s this thing anyway with Drink Me where you can read it in a way that’s… not what I intended. I’ve been aware of it for a while now. And I don’t mind people reading it that way because honestly the idea of following that […]

Cyanide and Happiness Comic. Two people are speaking. The first says: "Actually, I don't drink beer. Never liked it." The second replies: "Dude, you gotta give it some time. Nobody likes beer at first. It's an acquired taste..." The first says: "So you're peer pressured into drinking it until you eventually start to enjoy it?" The second throws his arms in the air and cries: "Haha, exactly!" The first person says: "That's not an acquired taste. That's Stockholm Syndrome." The second person looks depressed, or possibly concerned and questioning their life choices.
