The big human brain

15 April 2026 Dr James Moylan 46
The whole proposition of a massive hunk of brain-flesh that is capable of introspective reflection, inside a body, inside a culture, doing the washing up, while shouting at the kids, is ludicrous. But there it […]

The irresistible cultural imperative: how tourism keeps reinventing society

7 April 2026 Dr James Moylan 0
Tourism and civilisation are intimately linked. But tourism is much more robust. Warfare, drought, famine, earthquake, and tsunami are just minor inconveniences. The Russian, Mongol, and Qing dynasties, like the Persian, Roman, English, and American […]

George Orwell was an optimist

25 July 2025 Dr James Moylan 2

On the Armidale Road

19 April 2025 Dr James Moylan 4

Worrying about everything, all the time, for fun and profit

29 March 2025 Dr James Moylan 6
For a satirist, Trump is a diamond encrusted 100% solid gold shitter. He is an overblown cartoon caricature of a populist leader. The sort of clownish character that might have been dreamt up in a […]

Postcards from the uncivil war

19 March 2025 Dr James Moylan 3
You may have thought that the idea of kidnapping people off the street, flinging them into a dungeon, then ‘disappearing’ them, was entirely old hat. So, arguing about this sort of thing probably declined sometime […]

Where is the gonzo?

17 March 2025 Dr James Moylan 13
The modern world sucks. You suck. Every one of my audience members is to blame. So fuck you all. Everybody is a f*n journalist and nobody can write for shit. Consequently, we have all become […]

I can’t complain: I am not a property owner, or a landlord
