👋 Hi, hello! Two things about me:

1) All my links are at mikestevens.link

I know it's a lot, but it's what I got.

2) I'm open to projects!

Got something on the boil that could benefit from a writer, designer, photographer & illustrator? Holler at me!

3) I always give a little extra.

Just a reminder that Darren Hanlon is one of the finest and most underrated lyricists Australia has ever produced. Always some delightful turns of phrase in his work, and somehow the puns are always cute as hell.

If you told me the two most popular stories on The Redline would be the Chevrolet Corvette and a comparison of the two electric Fiat 500s on sale in Australia, I'd have told you that you were nuts.

And yet...the Fiat story in particular powers on.

Side-by-side: Fiat 500e vs Abarth 500e
Fiat's enduring small car, the 500, has gone all-electric (for now) and we drove the two versions available in Australia: quick and quicker.

🪐 Science fiction has been gaming out fascist futures since its inception. Can it help us get out of our fascistic present?

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

I had no idea that the phrase “Back to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

Aaah yes, Eternal September.

But... to me, this is a reminder of how the human mind works. 'Block and move on' is just a triage choice. Really, most humans are driven to set, grow and defend norms – which makes it hard to ignore (block) a wrong. It's... core to our nature, for better or worse.

30 years of interneting has given me so many opportunities to refine my bitter sarcasm and become completely unable to fit in socially, but i always try to remain mindful that there are also downsides

oh god I've never watched that ep. There are quite a few I've never bothered with, purely because I know there are so many filler episodes and I just don't feel any need to sit through them!

I've just started watching TNG with my 10YO, and he's loving it – so much that he's insisted I not skip any episodes. Which is... so... good... yep... so good... 😂😭
