The Greatest Ludus P16

“Welcome good people of Rome!” Vibius Maccius Metellus stood on the balcony, proclaiming today’s games open. Behind him sat his older brother, Senator Caius Maccius Metellus, along with Marcus Octavious Paulus- and Petillia Crispina. Nor were they alone. Several senators were present for the latest group of fights to grace the Colosseum- the grandest of […]

More from Covidiots

Why are some people so absolutely committed to conspiracy nonsense? And why do they feel a need to argue with and belittle people who work in scientific fields? What am I referring to exactly? A conversation between an internet know-it-all, and Claire, a scientist, who happens to be my step-son’s girlfriend and a very intelligent […]

‘Inside Sources’ and Massive Failure

Reflecting upon the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

Back at the end of 2014, the very first trailer dropped for The Force Awakens. The film was still a year away at that point; I think there was such an early trailer because the trailer was about to be leaked anyway. The first trailer did not show any of the original characters, but instead […]

Covidiots

By now, you may have seen on Twitter (if you use it of course) the hashtag ‘Covidiots’. It’s trending a lot because there are plenty of people, all over the world, who seem to think the rules put in place to protect people and save lives do not apply to them. I have a newsflash […]
