It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a month since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. Putin thought this would be quick and easy, yet the Ukrainian military – backed with weapons from a number of other countries – has resisted, and the Ukrainian people have refused to accept occupation of their cities and […]
It’s that time again! It’s Meerkat Muse time! Dreams We begin with a dream that technically could have slipped into the previous Muse, but I hadn’t figured it out (and still haven’t). I was walking near the woods, and there was a river, lined with a wooden jetty and old, abandoned building/house, that I found […]
It’s back! Formula 1 is finally back! It feels like an eternity has passed since the high drama of Abu Dhabi. The controversy of 2021’s finale is but one ingredient in what should be a fascinating season, and an intriguing opening race. 57 laps around the Bahrain International Circuit await our drivers. They will probably […]
Time for the latest in my Morality series, which can be found among a range of discussions on religion. This has been inspired by a discussion TikTok of all places (let it be said that TikTok is not a great medium for conversation). The idea under discussion is that followers of religion do not murder […]
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! The End of an Era The other week my wife and I completed our watch of the 2019 edition of Masterchef Australia, which brought with it the end of the judging careers of Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston (at least for now). I was sad to see […]
Is this even worth it at this point? Discussions with David Thiessen of Theology Archaeology have descended into something of a cesspit of accusations, misrepresentations and general malarkey. I have not found David willing to even consider acknowledging flaws in his arguments and positions, and this has been the reality for many years. His latest […]
On my web travels I found an interesting post by one KC Sunbeam (that name is familiar, and I wonder if we’ve crossed paths before, but I don’t recall for certain). Their post concerns a series of questions asked by a well-known (though I’ve personally never heard of them) atheist by the name of Hemant […]
The other day David Thiessen of Theology Archaeology decided to respond to a couple of posts I wrote on the subject of modesty. You can find my original part one here and part two here. As ever David wants to ram Biblical concepts down our throats, without ever considering whether those concepts help or not […]
I woke up to the news I’d feared – Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has begun. There has already been missile strikes and troops have moved across the border at a number of locations. At what point does this end, how badly will it go for the Ukrainian people, and is Putin prepared for the […]
Greetings ‘kats, I hope you have been behaving, for the Eye is watching. It’s always watching. Let’s kick-start this Muse with some exciting news! The Awakening I was contacted by my publisher the other day. My book is next in line to go through the next stage of editing, and once this is complete we’ll […]
When Michael found an old mirror in his late grandfather's study, he never imagined it would reveal a hidden piece of family history. Trapped in a strange realm, and changed by the mirror's properties, Michael must unravel his grandfather's legacy. #Kindle
Wow Joanne, wearing your cruelty on your sleeve now. Does it make you feel good to use your platform to demean others @jk_rowling? Do you derive satisfaction from the hurt you cause, Joanne?
Like 6, most annoying character! Some might say Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time, I say Fi from Skyward Sword. Fitting that the most annoying Zelda game features the most annoying character!
Right, like 5. Which game character do I feel most like? I am scatty and neurotic, so probably Earthworm Jim!
I saw a social media post the other week, and it got me thinking. Does bigotry go both ways? If we want to get uber-technical, then it’s entirely possible for a black person to hate white people in general terms, or women to hate men, or for members of the LGBT community to resent those […]
