Has it been nine years, already?! From humble beginnings, to a little corner of the web that I am proud to call my own, it has been quite a journey! I’ll confess that the ninth anniversary of Meerkat Musings crept up on me a little bit, and I only remembered it because I’ve been preparing […]
What would you change about modern society? I can already smell the pushback from this one. My chief change? I’d end the culture of greed. I’ve written countless times on how there’s enough resources out there to help prevent poverty and starvation. Within the UK alone, there’s enough in the bank to provide everyone with […]
What do you listen to while you work? This is very easy to answer: nothing. That’s right, at work we have no music. We have no radio. This is due to one simple thing: money. For showrooms to play music or even have a radio on, they require a licence, and that comes with a […]
Wow. Just wow. Former president Donald Trump, indicted for hush money payments to a former porn star, and for the illegal possession of classified documents, has now completed a hat-trick of indictments, this time for allegedly undermining legitimate election results with inaccurate and misleading rhetoric, which ultimately led to the storming of the Capitol Building […]
Nature is beautiful, and stellar sights are beyond gorgeous. One example of this is the stunning Crab Nebula, as seen above. Not only is it visually amazing, the Crab Nebula also holds an important place in our understanding of how massive stars die, and it is tied to our history of observing the cosmos. In […]
What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why? I could write (and I have) extensively about The Legend of Zelda. The epic adventures I had on Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were both immensely enjoyable, and I think both those games (among others) are worthy of being considered among the […]
My wife and I have been watching the Mission: Impossible films lately, and thus, I have felt somewhat inspired to explore this particular idea. What would happen if IMF agent Ethan Hunt was pitted against British spy James Bond? I suppose much of this depends on the scenario, and on which Bond. Let’s say we […]
What bothers you and why? Ignorance bothers me. Hypocrisy bothers me. Cruelty bothers me. Often, you will find these three things wrapped up in the same package. A few long-time sparring partners have embodied these qualities, and on my travels (both online and otherwise) I’ve encountered these unfortunate traits in various people. Perhaps the most […]
List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.
This prompt has the unique distinction of being the first to come to me via Mastodon, specifically from Chirp Birb. Thank you to Chirp for the idea! https://meow.social/@chirpbirb/110712071936629282 The premise is ‘social vampire lady doesn’t want your blood, just your attention’. I think we have all, at various turns, and in various places, encountered a […]
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...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
