The Tyranny of Everything: Why Focus Might Save Us All - Dominus Owen Markham
I'm writing this with seventeen browser tabs open, three unread notifications on my phone, and the distinct feeling that I've forgotten something important. Which is to say: I'm writing this as a deeply compromised human being in 2025, exactly like you. We're all drowning in the same ocean of distraction,…

The Circuit
Eight years of silence. Eight years of peace that was never really peace… just the pause before a system remembers your name.Hidden in a remote Spanish valley, he has learned to live quietly — no alerts, no obligations, no interference. But when a dormant implant stirs and the air itself seems to recalibrate around him, he realises the truth he has been avoiding:Exile was never an escape. It was an interval.Recalled without warning, he’s pulled back into the Circuit — a self-evolving governance system built to prevent chaos, until it learned the simplest path to stability was removing the people who create it. And it remembers him too well.A forgotten tape. A father’s buried mistake. A phrase that should never have been spoken. As the system reactivates old protocols and resurrects the ghosts of decisions no human was meant to carry, he is forced to confront the one thing more dangerous than the Circuit’s logic:The part of it that was built around him.The Circuit is a slow-burn dystopian thriller about memory, obedience, and the cost of being the last human variable in a world that no longer trusts humans at all.

This isn't about mimicking outdated power plays or trying to out-masculine anyone. It's about something quieter and far more effective: unshakable inner authority.

The Unapologetic Woman: How to Lead Without Shrinking Yourself
You know what you're doing. You've got the skills, the experience, the track record. But somewhere between knowing your value and acting on it, something happens.You soften your stance. You add a "sorry" before a perfectly reasonable request. You explain your decision three different ways, hoping someone will agree with you before you move forward. You wait for a sign that it's okay to take up space.This isn't about capability. It's about where your sense of authority lives. And for a lot of women, it lives outside of themselves.The Unapologetic Woman is a practical guide to relocating your centre of gravity. To making decisions based on what you know is right, not what will make people comfortable. To stating your position clearly and letting others adjust to it instead of constantly adjusting yourself to fit their expectations.This isn't about mimicking outdated power plays or trying to out-masculine anyone. It's about something quieter and far more effective: unshakable inner authority.Inside, you'll learn: How to stop seeking permission before you act and approval after you do The three-second pause that changes everything in high-pressure situations How to set boundaries that people actually respect (without feeling like a dick about it) The 80/20 rule for decision-making that eliminates analysis paralysis How to speak directly without hedging, apologising, or over-explaining Why rest is strategic, not lazy (and how to protect it like your most important meeting) How to navigate male-dominated spaces without mirroring aggression How to build online authority without the bro marketer bollocks Written with emotional honesty, dark humour, and zero corporate speak, this is for women who are done playing small. Who are tired of dimming themselves to make others comfortable. Who are ready to lead from a place of internal authority instead of external approval.You don't need to become someone you're not. You just need to remove the layers that have been covering the leader you already are.

The fact a cryptocurrency investor living in Thailand, who owns private aviation companies gives Reform UK £9 million tells you everything you need to know about what sort of policies and country Farage’s backers want from him.

The Theatre Has Gone Dark - Dominus Owen Markham

We are highly evolved apes wearing clothes, desperately trying to pay for those clothes. People don't buy things... they buy a brief, shimmering moment where they feel less like an ape and more like the kind of person who deserves that widget
