Burst into bull frog? There are a few known cases of it happening.

I think the writer is “tilting at windmills” and is arguing a point that does not need to be made. It could even be deemed a “strawman argument”. Her critique seems aimed more at an imagined “scientific arrogance” than at how science is genuinely practiced. Very few scientists claim perfect objectivity; rather, they emphasize the method as t…[Read more]

Scientific objectivity is a myth

I argue a more accurate view of science is that pure objectivity is impossible. Once you leave the myth of objectivity behind, though, the way forward is not simple. Instead of a belief in an all-knowing science, we are faced with the reality that humans are responsible for what is…

Thanks Reg 🙂

Have a great week everyone!!

Atheism isn’t a belief—it’s a refusal to pretend. 

Although it’s from a ‘Gentile’, I find he offers a different viewpoint…..sample.

RFK Jr. spits out a mouthful of asbestos and takes a swig from his sewage bottle.

“I can already see children getting healthier,” he gurgles, a bone from a roadkill bat lodged in his larynx. “The spike in measles deaths is a sign their mitochondrial vitality is spiking.”

His left ear drops off.

From the above linked article…..Trump is wreaking havoc, much of it irreparable, and he has three and a half more years — at a minimum — to continue his wrecking-ball presidency. The disunity of the opposition has enabled Trump to proceed without the public fully understanding the range and scope of his destruction. Every day Trump sows con…[Read more]

Reg – nice one, with the pigs :🐷

Enco – yes the BBC has been called Auntie Beeb by Brits for longer than I can remember.

Edited to add that Auntie Beeb dates back to the 1940’s and consequently predates me altogether.

Yes, it turns out that four legs are good but two legs are better. At least now that the pigs have been found walking on two legs. I was confused too. But when I checked with the Ministry of Truth, I discovered that pigs have always walked in this manner. I was mistaken in my thinking that they ever walked on four. The Leader is good.

USA hangs in the balance.

Yes.

Check out The Capture on Netflix. The future of media!!

All this fucking swearing!! Well, I just don’t c**e!

Yes, I would agree with you Strega and I now have Sky News back on my watch list. Overall the BBC is still very good so when they are biased it is really noticeable.  I enjoy Question Time and I have no problem hearing diverse opinions in such a setting, especially as the host is normally very good at moderating the discussions. But the news…[Read more]

The Asserson Report (Sept 2024) based on analysis of 9 million words, alleges the BBC violated its own editorial guidelines over 1,500 times, showing a bias against Israel—inclining towards Palestinian perspectives, portraying Israel as aggressive, downplaying Hamas terrorism. Report is here.

I have noticed that many “mainstream media” out…[Read more]

Simon, the BBC news is a great disappointment to me. The subjects they choose to report on may be accurate within the UK, but their coverage of USA events is hugely biased as they now get their “news” from CNN and similar organisations and it’s incredibly biased and incorrect.

Whilst trying to find actual news on the television rather than from…[Read more]

Opposition to Trump

By “opposition” I mean “telling the truth”, which is opposition to Trump by default.

You’re talking about the BBC.  I get multiple programmes of this nature every day.

Thanks for that Reg, I’ve never heard of Ministry before. I just listened to the entire album, and see that they and their founder Al Jourgensen has been around and influential for…[Read more]
