Had a dream that I was on secondment working for the UK government. They told me that they’d found the Loch Ness monster, but they had to cover it up because she was technically next in the order of succession instead of Charles and they didn’t think the public could take it. Not in my dream book.

The induction for these long-hours unpaid internships will be shaving their heads and getting barcode tattoos, learning to answer to “47”

The thing that bugs me most about this is how many local businesses trade well on people who want to support a wee local business. It’s wild to so openly demonstrate that your business doesn’t have the same feeling about paying a wee local artist…

Going back to writing a blog like the good old days. Todays is a quick summer update on street games I’ve played and local newspapers that have covered them <3 mcenteg.art/summer-2026-...

Ruminating at great length before looking up at the attendees of my symposium, “Consider, if you will… Sheffield Thursday.” Uproar, a wall of sound, I am bludgeoned to death by thrown notebooks.

Lovely to see this coverage of the capoeira games that have been going on in Dublin over the last few weeks. Pictured: Me (arse first) being schooled by the inimitable Mestre Jamaica

Fighting on O’Connell Street has never been so fun: The last few weeks, beneath the statue of Father Mathew, behind the Spire, groups of capoeristas have been practising their Brazillian martial art and game.

Arcade cabinets are standing desks for games and that’s why Street Fighter players’ posture has declined so aggressively since the nineties

I simply believe that, if one’s net worth exceeds a trillion dollars, an orbital laser should immediately start steering a beam directly towards your current location

@ronanhession.bsky.social I think I saw you peek into a capoeira training yesterday evening on North Great George’s Street. Ended up trying to explain Leonard and Hungry Paul to a Brazilian friend

The core appeal of the Backrooms, conceptually, is that a limitless indoor space, even if addled with ineffable horrors, would really go a long way towards resolving our current housing issues

I got a dog and so far I’ll say this, it’s been the single fastest way to dramatically increase the volume of hair I eat day to day. (However, I love her)
