LUNATICS,SHRINKFLATION & STRASHIPS: Historical Culture & Futurism A Series of Sixteen Original Informative Short Titles, Stories and Articles

You are holding sixteen contrarian love letters to human stupidity and brilliances sometimes in the same paragraph. I wrote these between in 2025, a period when grocery items shrank faster than politicians’ ethics, rockets landed on drone ships like it was no big deal, and a 17-year-old from Preston nearly became world darts champion while dressed as a Christmas tree. Some pieces started as late-night rants. Others as “huh, that’s weird” rabbit holes that refused to end. All of them share one belief: the past isn’t past—it’s just the prequel we keep refusing to watch properly. So pour something strong, silence your notifications, and come meet the lunatics who invented steam engines by moonlight, the corporations quietly deleting grams from your Doritos, and the one guy trying to drag the entire species to another planet before we finish arguing about toilet-paper sheet counts. History, futurism, and righteous anger—shaken, not stirred. Welcome to the ride. Also, by this writer The Urban Neanderthal and Sequel - The Fall & Rise of Richard L.
