Here we go again… it’s Meerkat Muse time! There’s extra reason to celebrate – on the 20th I finally get my first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine! I’m fortunate – I have the Friday off work, so if the vaccine floors me, I’ll have the chance to recover. I’m gonna be getting the Pfizer vaccine, […]
The UK has one of the highest number of deaths from Covid-19 of any country on earth (7th), as a direct result of Tory incompetence. Billions have been spaffed up the wall on Track and Trace systems that have taken forever to actually work (and Tory cronyism has seen the mates of Tory ministers get […]
I’m not ashamed to say I sit on the left of the political spectrum. I am in favour of things like a public healthcare system. I believe that there ae enough resources on this earth to bring everyone out of poverty and still allow us to live comfortable lives. I am in favour of decriminalising […]
Far be it for me to consider The Daily Mail a reliable source, but then again, considering Boris Johnson’s willingness to put the economy (money) ahead of protecting lives, it’s entirely plausible. ‘Let the bodies pile high in their thousands’, instead of entering a second lockdown. Those are the words attributed to Johnson during a […]
Yes my ‘kats, it is time for the Meerkat Muse! So, what have the last two weeks delivered? There is a light at the end of the lockdown tunnel (which I nearly misspelled in a most alarming way), though at the time of writing, we still have a few weeks to go before the showroom […]
Welcome ‘kats, to the latest round of Meerkat Musings! What’s been happening? Well, NASA successfully landed Perseverance on Mars, only to find someone waiting… Ahem. Jokes aside, this is pretty special, considering the launch, trip and landing have been handled during a time of social distancing and the pandemic. Congratulations to NASA for this amazing […]
Once again social media is blowing up with conservatives getting anxious that their freedom of speech is being curtailed. Once again the key word that often goes overlooked is ‘consequences’. There are many examples of comments and positions that can have consequences. The most recent relates to the comments of Gina Carano, who played former […]
Continuing with the general theme of exploring the concept of morality, I’m going back to some old arguments and responding to them with new ideas. Specifically, I am addressing an argument frequently put forward over at Blogging Theology – namely that atheism is a bloodthirsty, immoral philosophy. The (mis)representation of atheism is that it’s a […]
Greetings ‘kats. It’s that time again, when I regal you with recent tales of my epic exploits. Alright calm down, it’s not going to be remotely that interesting. The ‘exploits’ involve little more than the cycle of work, work, and more work, albeit with one or two curiosities… Work The situation has reached the point […]
Greetings ‘kats, welcome back to Meerkat Musings, I am your host Darth Timon, aka Ben, and I will be leading you through this possibly lengthy and certainly fascinating post, as we dissect the words and commentary of recent posts I’ve stumbled across elsewhere. We’ll be pondering whether or not there is truly unreasonable censorship at […]
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...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
