I’ve been slack haven’t I? Oh bother.

Yes, yes, I know that nobody reads my drivel anyway, but I still feel sort of bad about not having posted anything since mid-December (is that right? I didn’t even look to see when my last real post was.). I’ve been awfully busy with schoolwork. With luck I’ll actually manage to keep some kind of [...]

Q: Is turnabout fairplay? A: Wrong question.

Roissy, among many others, describes an alpha-beta split in human men. His examples and evidence is compelling, especially for anyone who leans towards evolutionary psychology. Well, here is even more proof: I know I’ve been writing a lot about reproductive rights and sexual health issues, but the stories I want to comment on seem to [...]

In which I display my breadth of knowledge and cite an authoritative figure to make a point

“Just as the individual egoist puts further questions up to a point, but desists before reaching conclusions incompatible with his egoism, so also the group is prone to have a blind spot for the insights that reveal its well-being to be excessive or its usefulness at an end.” – Bernard Lonergan, Insight If that doesn’t [...]

People don’t like these “facts” you speak of, please refer to them as “educated opinions”

Don’t confuse them with facts To listen to talk radio, to watch TV pundits, to read a newspaper’s online message board, is to realize that increasingly, we are a people estranged from critical thinking, divorced from logic, alienated from even objective truth. We admit no ideas that do not confirm us, hear no voices that [...]

Canaries in the coalmine

To borrow the analogy from John Robb over at Global Guerillas, who sees the recent Joe Stack incident as such a marker. In addition to that, I’d point out the guy who bulldozed his own house in retaliation of forclosure: As well as the ridiculousness of the Tea Party. These people don’t know what they [...]

It’s like /b/ in real life

Mortuary Techs getting down and dirty: The people employed to respectfully handle the remains of the deceased have instead turned cadavers and body parts into macabre playthings, The Post has learned. And they shockingly documented their depraved foolery in photos taken as keepsakes. Grinning mortuary technicians use corpses as props in dozens of disturbing Polaroids [...]

Tin-foil hats can’t stop the gub’mint from taking away your medicare, and medicare can’t fix stupid.

My demographic, let me show it to you.

The future is bright for the lazy, fat, baby-making masses.

Also, I am being discriminated against for working hard, not polluting the world with children, being single (and not wanting to get hitched), and being skinny. Maybe they should give me a stimulus to make me fall in line.

Sad times

Just to put things into perspective: the world doesn’t stop being shitty just because it’s the holidays.  A couple of local things and one from afar. Jerry Oliver, founder of Mercy Ministries in Augusta dies. He was tough as nails.  Watching him recover from the stroke he had last year was inspiring.  He will certainly [...]

The internet ruins my brain

This had never even crossed my mind: people standing to wipe their asses: Now, I have lived on this planet for 33 years and I have concluded any extended bathroom venture the same way: sitting down, toilet paper bunched in my right hand, reaching back and around my body and gently wiping upwards, balls to [...]
