The following is a response to some rather outrageous and deliberately disingenuous statements issued in response to a critique. I’ll leave it to the reader to determine who I am responding to, and why. Given his history of this, I intend this to be the last time I directly respond to this particular Evangelical. There […]
Welcome back to the weird and wonderful world of the Meerkat Muse! Covid comes Home Back on the 14th my daughter felt a bit unwell, so my wife did a test and sure enough, she tested positive for covid. As per the rules she had to remain off school and my wife and I had […]
By now anyone following the news in the UK knows of a slew of illegal parties attended by Boris Johnson and his compatriots, despite strict lockdown rules prohibiting said parties. The excuses given out by Johnson (and his cronies) are among the most ridiculously weak excuses imaginable. ‘I thought it was a work event‘ has […]
Today the prompt is ‘what is a cause you’re passionate about and why?‘ You could say I’m quite passionate about equality. On the Coalition of the Brave site I’ve had many a heated discussion with a number of people on the subject of LGBT rights, feminism and racism. I do not hide my disdain for […]
This is the argument put forward by Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister, in defence of the latest revelations that lockdown rules were not followed by those in power, at a time when there were severe penalties for disobeying the rules. The lockdown back during 2020 was very strict, strict enough so that families were […]
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 […]
Time to visit (or should that be revisit?) the US Constitution, specifically the First Amendment and something referred to as the Establishment Clause. To quote from the link: The First Amendment’s Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, […]
Time for a different kind of Muse. Time to reflect upon the year that was 2021. It has been a rollercoaster, as everyone grappled with the fallout from 2020 and the on-going mess caused by the pandemic. For us Brits, we had to contend with Brexit making everything just that little bit more difficult for […]
Welcome to the last Muse before Christmas! Welcome to a very special day! At the time of posting this, I have not yet seen Spider-Man: No Way Home. I’m seeing it on the evening of the 15th, and I am pretty excited to see where Marvel and Sony take their multiverse ideas. I could offer […]
I had the fortune (misfortune?) to stumble upon a fundamentalist Christian site, via my friend Bruce’s blog, that offers a mindset into how fundamentalists view the world. The attitude towards women is not a surprise to me – I have encountered this belief before, and in the interests of fairness, not just from Christians, but […]
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. […]
