My desperate need for money continues, and so... I've added more original art to my store, cut prices further on some art, and cleared out all the sold art. Please, take a look! michaelkupperman.com/shop

Happy Ides-Day! Start by taking down the oppressors, then settle in for some prog-rock, a twist on fish pie and owls in towels! What a way to spend a weekend! http://excusesandhalftruths.com/2025/03/15/the-swipe-volume-3-chapter-7/

Bought a cheap pair of noise-cancelling earbuds, almost on a whim. Tried them out at work today. Game-changer. Even if I'm not listening to anything, the sheer amount of ambient noise it cuts out is incredible. I've been working in a wind tunnel without realising it for years.

Give Trump his state visit, then lock him in a room and surround him with radical leftwingers who can scream at him for 20 minutes about how ungrateful and badly dressed he is.

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members. The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said; “trans women are women and trans men are men” with no-one speaking against it. Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

To fill the empty space where this week's Swipe should be, join me in a ramble through the archive and a rare bit of Rob-related audio drama. https://wp.me/pjmMI-JeM

Those of you needing a quick dose of guilt-tripping, accusations of betrayal and silent movie- level theatrics could do worse than give your cat eye-drops. Do the necessary then sit back (waaay back, careful of the claws) and enjoy the show.

Fire alarm tests at work today. Loud sirens intermittently every 2-3 minutes for 10-20 seconds. For the last half hour. I feel nervy, destabilised, twitchy. In other words, like a fair chunk of Americans this morning.

Observed on the Lizzy Line: older gentleman sitting next to me dozing. His wife, impeccably made-up, fur coat, sparkly handbag, sitting opposite, repeatedly kicking him to keep him awake.

Ursula K. LeGuin: "American science fiction has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women."

Observed on the Lizzy Line: a mum, fast asleep, her phone propped up in her hand, playing YouTube kids stuff to the youngling in the pram. As the train rolls into West Drayton she flicks awake, reconfigures with a blink and rolls off into the evening, unflappable, all business.
