I’m flabbergasted. I’m reeling from some stuff I’ve read this morning. The defence of the Tangerine Tyrant is in a perverse way a beautiful thing, a sight to behold, and to despair at and laugh at in one go. When I see someone claim Trump to be a good man, I go to a certain […]
Last year Nintendo marked the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros with a number of limited-time events (including the release of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy as part of a bundle set, and launching the addictive Super Mario Bros 35 on the Switch). I liken the Super Mario franchise to […]
In a troubling twist of events, autocorrect wanted the title to be ‘The Weird and the Weiner’. Ahem, wrong side… For reasons that I don’t fully understand, my underwear decided it would seriously ride up today. Maybe if I had photographic evidence… Ok, perhaps not. Anyway, the moral of this story is that I have […]
How is everyone? Did we all pass through the eye of the needle on New Year’s Eve and emerge, broken and weary, but emerge nonetheless into 2021? Actually, I can’t do 2020 again. I don’t know if any of us can. That wretched year is behind us, and surely only better times lie ahead? Only, […]
Yup, 2020 is nearly over, so now is the time to reflect on what’s been a transformative year for so many of us. After this year, surely, surely, the only way is up? But I’m going to resist speculating on 2021, for a number of reasons – let’s focus on this year. Career Changes Early […]
I mean, obviously the cure isn’t from science… it’s not like the processes to find how to neutralise Covid-19 were developed by painstaking study, study that was built upon decades, indeed centuries, of research and learning. The fields of chemistry and biology clearly contributed nothing to the vaccines. This short article is based on the […]
It’s been a strange year and at times a tremendous challenge, but tomorrow is Christmas Day, and I hope you all find a measure of peace and happiness tomorrow. From me to all of you…
I’ve recently on Twitter of attempts to suggest the people behind the #WeAreStarfleet hashtag are awful. If we are to accept that, then the perpetrators of that suggestion, the self-styled #FandomMenace, should take a look at themselves, for their behaviour is no better. Exhibit A: This ‘charming’ response to Fibble.. More from Fibble… There are […]
I’ve been inspired by a friend, and there’s going to be a bit more behind this post than will immediately be apparent (in the form of a video/audio interview, but I won’t say any more than that), but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the phenomenon of ‘cancel culture’. On one level, I fully […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
