Was Diogenes Woke?

We agree. He was not! 🙂

I’ve got a book that says just that, and they make a good point.  The Western…[Read more]

Yeah Enco, I don’t recall exactly when Americans started loading themselves onto the short busses because I spent my working years with teams of engineers and scientists. I generally thought the average among us had a lick of sense. My grandparents understood that vaccines do save lives and authoritarianism is bad. They knew not to eat so much…[Read more]

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

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…

Just frogs in a pot as the water begins to boil.

“My farm is going out of business, but I still believe Trump is doing the right thing”.

Ain’t that America. Little pink houses for you and me.

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.

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]

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]

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.
