What’s the story behind your nickname? I dare say those pictures summarise my nickname as readily as words do. ‘Darth Timon’ has been my online moniker for a long time (albeit in some online locations I go by my real name now, such as here on WordPress). Darth is Star Wars-related, and Timon is Lion […]
Somehow, this is not making the sort of headlines I’d expect it to, but for this story to enter mainstream news at all is quite remarkable. Basically, former US Air Force intel officer David Grusch has, whilst under oath at a House Hearing, claimed the US government is in possession of ‘non-human biologics’, and this […]
Welcome one and all, to the Meerkat Muse! Irritating Inclement Weather What does a Brit talk about a lot? The weather. Usually, we moan about the weather, and that’s where this Muse begins. You see, the last few days of July, traditionally a warm month, proved themselves to be horrifically damp. Granted, I am pleased […]
Every time I see someone whine about tattoos, I get annoyed. Why? Well, for one, I currently have six tattoos myself (with ambitions to get more). I also get annoyed on behalf of tattoo artists, who are among some of the most highly-skilled individuals I have ever met. One of the arguments against them is […]
This prompt is inspired by a trip into town the other day. My wife, daughter and I happened upon this: Automation is already a huge part of our lives. Sometimes, we don’t appreciate the extent to which machines do the work. For example, the job of painting cars often falls to machines. The job of […]
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 […]
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 […]
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...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
