I did not expect to end up writing about a dress

This is what straw-manning looks like
Bjørn Lomborg has for many years been portrayed as a so-called climate sceptic. It is a claim you can only honestly make if you rely entirely on other people calling him a climate sceptic and never, ever, read or hear … Continue reading

Dune
Frank Herbert’s Dune is a masterpiece of a book, and, having read that and his sequels many times, I am very fond of it. In the 1980’s I watched the first movie adaptation, by David Lynch in 1984 and I … Continue reading
Why nihilism is the greatest excuse ever, or; incels were here before the internet
Something happened last month that slowly made me realise that I had covered a story about an incel terrorist years ago, back when I was at university. Incel, “involuntary celibates”, are, not to put too fine a point to it, … Continue reading

Another Tunguska event
Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. — … Continue reading
