Ha ha ha. What AI thinks I do (image one) compared to what it hallucinated after I try to tell it to pay more attention to what I say on my blog (image two) - in both the capture of tomorrow is now also recuperated into a plastic fantasy.

the secline of empires... for shame.... adding Essex to the list: sites.google.com/view/mmpubli...

The deep irony that the invading horticultural imperialists banked their first crime scene as Botany Bay should not be lost.

Now is the time for selling monsters at bulk discount while the struggle to be born costs in childcare fees more than everyday wall-to-wall genocide. Pollutants and fever are collatoral damage in a twisted calculus where cost-counting pundit are chained to the abandonded television studio lounge.

Jagannath The Portuguese colonial incursion in Orissa began around 1514, and the link with Malaka port was a key trading link. Centuries later, they had the temerity to put the Jagannath shrine on the back of their one rupee and 2 1/2 rupee notes, from the 1920s. The images below are from:…

Trần Đức Thảo as Robinsonade I don't think Robinson had any like the same sort of commitment to the revolution... This, then, is the standard story, but there is much more to it, especially on the importance of theory and practice (whereas Robinson seems mostly to talk to parrots).

David Malouf RIP "Johnno" (1975) was an important first book. I will reread it a third (or fourth time) because it is two decades since the last time, and it was important to remember it then, and I remember that its important now even if the only bit I truly remember is where he is being told by…

Cringe On "Cringe" and philosophy. You might know that some people consider Martin  Heidegger the greatest philosopher (not me, I prefer Tran Duc Thao, and Marx) but Heidegger is nevertheless great on technology. And so sometimes I will read his other works, or listen to people talk about them.…

Imogen Twenty years is incomprehensible.

Three things about writing I am putting here for later - does not mean endorsement—though Marcus Rediker's thing is good, the LSE one important, the third just the rumour of an iceberg in Titanic's path. pghrev.com/sixteen-writ... blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci... www.culanth.org/fieldsights/...

Some meeting notes are more notable than others

was just reminded this was 30 years ago: hutnyk.wordpress.com/2025/10/24/m...

Possibly this is using a high–gauge double-barrelled shotgun to kill a gnat, and unfortunately ignoring Siraj Ahmed from CUNY (look him up), but nevertheless a necessary argument: monthlyreview.org/articles/cou...

Wordpress for 20 years, so someone was talking about selecting pieces from it, but the task is too large (did once bunt some money to a friend with the idea of doing this, but we burned through 100 hours chatting about other things). Still. MRonline did a link-up: mronline.org/guest-author...

an interview from 2016:https://museumofnonvisibleart.com/interviews/john-hutnyk/

Most cited paper is 'Hybridity' in Ethnic and Racial Studies, but there was once a shorter online version translate.eipcp.net/strands/02/h...

Ho Chi Minh's 1927 book "Đường Kách mệnh"—"The Revolutionary Path" is a great teaching text, and part two is even better (am working on that translation over the next few months). Part one is available here: hutnyk.wordpress.com/2022/09/20/d...

Supermarkets are a popular setting for music videos. The cultural theorist John Hutnyk comments on this and presents a kind of a Marxist theory of shopping. From the Norient book Seismographic Sounds: norient.com/video/shoppi...

I did not warm to the great Clifford Geertz when he visited Melbourne in 1987 – in the guise of like WC Fields... That might explain the somewhat annoyed tone in this review of a chapter…. from CHAI first issue 1988:https://capitalnctu.wordpress.com/2024/09/22/levi-strauss-as-a-cultural-system/

Desecration of the flag anyone? Rubio's belt, snot-rag and inner lining seem a little crazed, even for a Genocidal-Armedmeggatro, Warmongerer. Attention to detail kills it. Precision weapons! Buckle up. Its near Dr Stangelove-level chaos, for bog's sake.

Ohh, more nostalgia, this time with an update, as time goes by: hutnyk.wordpress.com/2026/02/25/w...
