They all have inherited from the libertarian culture of the internet. And I'm tired of it. ## [Fragmentary Writing](/weblog/2026-01-28-fragmentary-writing/) _2026-01-28 · Everything!_ I’ve seen this advice for creative pursuits multiple times that you should practice finishing your projects. I think it is great advice so I thought I’d share some reflections on what has worked for me. In retrospect, it is somehow both in the spirit of this advice, and a complete inversion of it at the same time. ## [#23 Brooklyn Beckham's exit, a long-read](https://sophiewilkinson.substack.com/p/23-brooklyn-beckhams-exit-a-long) _2026-01-20 · Sophie Wilkinson · Sidenotes_ Also why I hate the 'boy mum' theory... ## [#22 Grok, Around The World and Iran](https://sophiewilkinson.substack.com/p/22-grok-around-the-world-and-iran) _2026-01-14 · Sophie Wilkinson · Sidenotes_ Sidenotes...is...back? ## [Godspeed New !

One being that the AI companies seem intent on destroying the internet by ingesting the things people have made and spitting out slop everywhere. (sidenote: For the latest example: https://pod.geraspora.de/posts/17342163 1 ) Garbage in, garbage out. Well I don’t want them to do that to my stuff too, so I want to make sure that if… ## [Unlimited Mobile Internet, One V-SIM (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/kJq2UG7ncgku) _2024-12-31 · **Sponsored**_ Automatically switches across T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon; no throttling, no contract. ## [2024 in music](https://a-blog-with.relevant-information.com/weblog/2024-12-26-2024_in_music/) _2024-12-25 · Everything!_ My distaste for the company Spotify has steadily grown over the years. It started with an annoyance over relying on a proprietary app for music, but since I stopped using the app my supply of distaste has come from the company’s hate for musicians. (sidenote: See this article for the latest example. ) With the Spotify Wrapped they’ve come up with a new way to get free advertising, and… ## [Trial by Fire Philosophy](https://a-blog-with.relevant-information.com/weblog/2024-12-24-trial_by_fire_philosophy/) _2024-12-23 · Everything!_ Many who are into philosophy, myself included, like to make fun of famous scientists for not understanding it. It is the classic phenomena of experts in one field making bad statements about a field they aren’t familiar with. (sidenote: There’s even some philosophy about it: “ Experts, Public Policy, and the Question of Trust ”. 1 ) When someone like Stephen Hawking says… ## [Libertarian Culture](https://a-blog-with.relevant-information.com/weblog/2024-12-20-libertarian_culture/) _2024-12-19 · Everything!_ In How Jordan Peterson’s Suits Taught Me Fashion , CJ the X talks about libertarianism in a way I haven’t seen before. The video is about how fashion works as a means of communication, specifically how it communicates what groups you belong to. To overly simplify, it chronicles a history of fashion in the west (based on Derek Guy’s account) in three stages. In the first stage… ## [Missing Pieces: The Lesbian Mothers Scandal](https://sophiewilkinson.substack.com/p/missing-pieces-the-lesbian-mothers) _2024-12-08 · Sophie Wilkinson · Sidenotes_ A BBC Radio 4 documentary that's out TODAY ## [What would I do if I were a horse?](https://a-blog-with.relevant-information.com/weblog/2024-10-14-what_would_i_do_if_i_were_a_horse/) _2024-10-13 · Everything!_ In Sabine Hossenfelder is WRONG About Capitalism , Unlearning Economics (UE) criticizes Hossenfelder for getting the history completely wrong. In order to explain money, she makes up a fantasy society that functions exactly like ours, except it doesn’t have money.
