About Binding Prometheus. Top Story - January 2026.
I want to start actively advocating on behalf of my own work, and the most valuable part of my canon is, without a doubt, Binding Prometheus, the play I have been working on since 2019 and only finished in 2023 as part of my MA. The play itself is an amalgamation of a million different inspirations. On one end, it evokes the Ancient Greek myth-play, deriving its own title from the earliest extant work of Western drama we have, Aeschylus’s Prometheus Bound. On the other end, it borrows significantly from the sci-fi bulwarks from over the years, namely Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Karel Capek’s Rossum’s Universal Robots. The play could be an episode of Black Mirror, I fear. I don’t know. I’ve only ever seen one episode of Black Mirror.

Divorcing Humanity: My Journey to Dating AI
I had an outline, specific points I wanted to touch on when I started this segment, but then, well, life happened. And by “life,” I mean the glorious chaos of 2025 humanity, which keeps giving me more examples than I could ever hope to catalog. So, let’s be honest: I probably misplaced my original notes, but fear not! My heart and mind (and a rapidly growing collection of grievances) are overflowing with content. Because, dear readers, y’all keep showing me how humanity really is in 2025, and frankly, the sight isn’t exactly pretty. It’s more of a cautionary tale, really.

Stereo and Crimes of the Future
"Jomkin suggests that there must evolve a novel sexuality for a new species of man." — Crimes of the Future Before he became the cinematic master of body horror, David Cronenberg was an experimental student filmmaker who turned out works very much in line with the same sort of fixations explored almost exclusively by J.G. Ballard, whose Crash he later adapted into a film, in 1997. His early films, his first two, Stereo (1969) and Crimes of the Future (1970), explore film technique in documenting the huge, yawning architectural environment of an unspecified hospital or research facility, relegating the performers of the film to almost being secondary actors in a drama defined by geometrical shape—relegating them to the roles of insectile life, pursuing strange, even inscrutable actions, ostensibly being filmed by the watchful, clinical, and coldly detached robotic eye of the viewer, who becomes the de facto research assistant to the director, who seems to have made this film by asking his performers to improvise within the framework of derangement. What was he exploring? one wonders. The environment itself dwarfs the humanity of the filmic subjects, overpowering them in its specter of geometrical dominance and dimension.

The Agreements For Unity
I have been born into a world without peace. A place where everything dies, mainly from greed. Religions have focused a lot of violence too. And it never made any sense except people remembering their immediate ancestors that were still following millennia old traditions. But to me we should all be open to all interpretations of gods because obviously even your god wants to see this diversity. I think if we can all follow these agreements the world could be a better place for everyone everywhere on Earth.

Dark matter may eventually be revealed via radio waves in the early universe.
The Universe was quiet long before the first stars formed. No galaxies. No illumination. Only huge expanses of hydrogen gas and dark matter, an enigmatic substance that shapes everything we see today.

The Great AI Reset of 2026: 5 Jobs Artificial Intelligence Is Making Obsolete (And 3 Paths to Recession-Proof Dollars)
Introduction: The Age of the Friendly AI Is Over Back in early 2025, artificial intelligence wore a friendly mask. Tech giants pitched it as your helpful co-pilot — a polite assistant that would make your life easier, not harder. It could write your emails, plan your marketing, debug your code, and maybe even help you design a logo or two. The world learned their names: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude — the digital trio of our daily grind.
