Honestly, I don’t know what to say here. There are a number of historical events that I’ve lived through, and the most memorable ones are also the most painful ones. I cannot and will not label those a ‘favourite’ historical event, so let’s look around at history in general. On the 20th of July, 1969, […]
Famous the world over, Betelgeuse is a star that anyone who’s stared at the Constellation Orion will be at least vaguely aware of. Betelgeuse is star number four, also to be thought of as Orion’s left shoulder, and this bright star is usually the second-brightest of Orion, though occasionally, it becomes the brightest. This is […]
Cowboy is appropriate. Here’s what he has to say about atheists. I discovered his post (and site) via my good friend Bruce Gerencser, who offered up some thoughts of his own on this cowboy. Those “freethinkers’ marching in lockstep, getting their “facts” from atheopath talking points clearinghouses, seem determined to argue with Christians and creationists […]
Fresh from his abortion arguments, David has now spoken about medical science, faith healing, and touched upon the tragic story of Archie Battersbee. There are a number of issues with his latest post. For one, David resurrects the idea that faith healing is a valid form of treatment for serious illness and injury. He rejects […]
Greetings meerkats, and welcome back to the latest edition of the Meerkat Muse! We begin with something referenced in the previous Muse… Madness On the 5th of May my wife and I saw Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. I wrote a review of it, which represents nothing more than my personal opinion on […]
It’s back! Time for the first Muse of 2022! Let’s dive right in shall we? Work The period between Christmas and New Year’s was pretty quiet, and this didn’t come as a complete surprise, as people had plans and those plans didn’t involve bathroom shopping. We coped easily with the (lack) of customers, even when […]
The obvious answer to that question is ‘yes’. Anyone can be wrong. We all make mistakes, we all reach flawed conclusions, it’s part of being human to err. However that doesn’t mean we throw the baby out with the bathwater. That is the desire of TEWSNBN, who has written not one but two posts entitled […]
All the way back in July I shared a post of Jill Dennison’s regarding the lunacy of anti-vaxxers. I didn’t add anything to her post because I couldn’t – it was a succinct and excellent address of the most popular anti-vax arguments and why they are flawed. About a month after sharing the post one ‘Mickskydog’ called the […]
It doesn’t get much bigger than this. The James Webb Telescope was launched on Christmas Day and it will offer us a new, deeper glimpse at the cosmos than ever before. Hubble’s successor is now on its way to the second Lagrange point, 1.5 million KM from earth, and over the next few months it […]
It’s been a while since I look in earnest at Hesedyahu’s vaccine stance. A few days ago they posted something; I figured it could be worth examining both what they had to say and the available facts. Where I am quoting Hesedyahu, their text shall be in purple. I keep hearing the warnings. And I […]
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...
This meerkat gets nervous about a lot of things. In an upcoming Prompt, I’ll talk about tardiness, and that sort of overlaps with this. Picture the scene. It’s a busy London station, and you’ve just bundled off the Tube, and up to the main concourse. You vaguely know when your train is, but you’re in […]
