The phenomenon of the ‘Karen’ (google ‘Karen stories’) has long fascinated me. It’s a bit harsh on women called Karen (I happen to have a friend by the name), but to explain it briefly, Karen stories are about entitled middle-class white women with entitlement complexes. A male equivalent exists, though I forget what name they […]
Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to gaze in awe and wonder at my latest tattoo, which I have to say is beautiful!
This is the legacy of austerity. This is the legacy of the @Conservatives and @BorisJohnson. No one should forget that. #ToryLies #BorisTheLiar #BrexitShambles https://t.co/DxHxtXoktW — Ben Berwick (@darth_timon) December 16, 2020
Be warned, there are spoilers ahead for Season 2 of The Mandalorian – if you wish to avoid them, don’t read this post. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Still here? I have to assume you don’t mind some major spoilers. Season 2 of the series began with […]
… won’t be happening next week, as instead I’m sorting out my review of 2020. Stay tuned for my take on what’s been a very challenging twelve months!
… The media clearly has its priorities… with gems such as this: With the government moving shambolically towards a no-deal Brexit, despite the numerous assurances and promises over the last few years, why in the world would the food habits of the arrogant roff Rees-Mogg be remotely relevant? Is this what passes as journalism now? […]
Right, so… what’s going on here? I don’t normally go into detail about upcoming movies, but the third Spider-Man MCU entry is shaping up to be a particularly ambitious film, if all the rumours are true. If the stories are true (and at least two of the casting rumours appear to have come true), we’re […]
We’re into the final month and final hurdle of the strangest, most challenging year. The end of 2020 is in sight, a vaccine is now being distributed (with other vaccines well on their way to being approved), and on the virus front, there are signs that come Easter next year, a semblance of normality will […]
I can’t help but wonder how much of modern conversations about topical subjects (whatever they may be) is less about developing a meaningful dialogue, and more about being right – more about winning. As someone who’s moved in sci-fi debate circles and as someone who’s delved in various social debates, I know I am guilty […]
I’m probably known by now (insofar that I am known) for butting heads with some anti-scientific zealots. I’ve contended with flat-earthers, science deniers and faith healing advocates. It’s on the last subject that a particular connection can be found with this post. Please note that I am not saying vaccines are risk-free, however consider their […]
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...
In recent days I have been having a ‘back and forth’ with Citizen Tom on the subject of education. Tom believes that education should be in private hands, which he believes would therefore be subject to the whim and will of parents. He does not like what state education teaches, and considers it to immoral. […]
