Games and Guns and Fallacies

Recently I revisited an old video game from my childhood. That game? Doom. For those of you unfamiliar with it, Doom sees you make your way through level after level of demon-filled landscapes, slaughtering them, lest they slaughter you.

Old White Man Strikes Again

I was perusing Twitter yesterday when a story flashed across my news feed that reminds me why I am quite happy to identify with the political left. A Tory MP by the name of Christopher Chope cried ‘object’ during a House of Commons session in which MPs were seeking the second reading of a Bill. […]
