In the wake of Trump’s indictment for dodgy business dealings, his supporters have predictably lashed out. They claim to be interested in non-violent protests at this, but we’ve seen what happens when Trump’s mindless followers don’t get their way (Jan the 6th anyone?). There are dozens of examples of Trump supporters throwing temper tantrums, engaging […]
Well this is interesting. Former US president Donald Trump has been indicted on as many as 34 charges relating to falsifying business records, and possibly hiding this activity via further falsifying records. To quote directly from the BBC website: In 2016, adult film star Stormy Daniels contacted media outlets offering to sell her account of […]
There are several ingredients that lend themselves to a huge variety of meals. Tomatoes, potatoes, most meats and fish, and most fruits can be used in a variety of ways. Potatoes in particular have a wide range of uses. From being used to make vodka, to being boiled, mashed, roasted, and fried, potatoes have become […]
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why? Can we include fictional characters? I’d love to be a Jedi for a day. It would make a lot of things very easy. Need to carry a load of heavy tiles? No problem. Need to prod a customer into buying? […]
When was the last time I cried happy tears? That’s easy, when my daughter was born. I do sometimes tear up from happy thoughts, and the good emotions of love, but the last time I truly cried from joy was at the birth of my daughter.
UPDATE 29/3/23: Shortly after publishing this post, the fundamentalist at Theology Archaeology issued an apology for his remarks. Whilst I do not agree that my statements were unclear, I accept his apology, and removed his name from this post. I swore to myself I would not respond to the ignorance and deceit of certain, rabid […]
By now, you may be aware of the shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville. This attack was allegedly carried out by a transgender man. It feels inevitable that the peanut gallery will spin this into an attack upon ‘good’ Christian values, by the misguided and unstable trans community. Except, the usual pattern for […]
This is an old WordPress prompt, and it struck me as an interesting dive down the proverbial rabbit hole. We can take two positions with the notion of being uncompromising. It can be a negative (‘they refused to yield, in the face of reason, facts, and even for the sake of compassion’). It can be […]
Let me clarify this statement. Based on current polls, Labour will enjoy a sizable majority in Parliament at the next General Election, but this is not because they will win the election; rather, it is because the Tories will lose it. Under Keir Starmer, Labour have some ideas that will distinguish them from the Tories, […]
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on. Hahahahaha. I am not DIY-inclined. The best I’ve managed is to put some wallpaper up, and to build a few wardrobes. I am not particularly skilled when it comes to that sort of thing, and I dread to think what might happen if I were […]
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently? Ah, the road not taken. I can remark upon numerous occasions where I wish I had done something differently. I dare say we can all relate to this. Everyone will have come to a fork in the […]
