    2SLGBTQQIA+

    Dystopian fiction often brushes over the most chilling part of the road to madness, which is the road itself. Authors hint at some great calamity or war that sets things in motion, and describe in vivid detail the hulking bureaucracies that grind all courage or curiosity from human beings. But...

Out of the last half a dozen pairs, my favourites where actually made by Michelin, and they were awesome (!!) and I got a little over a...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, introduced as the Secretary of War by Trump, cheered the change, which he has long advocated. "We're going to go on the offense, not just on defense. Maximum lethality, not tepid legality," Hegseth said? Against who (or is that whom?)? Maybe that’s not relevant...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Good question. No idea yet…U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday to rename the Department of Defense the "Department of War," reverting to a title it held until after World War Two when officials sought to emphasize the Pentagon's role in preventing conflict. "It's a...

    At that age, my father would’ve been your Scout Leader (mid 60’s-mid-70’s) had you been involved there. “Good luck, good hunting, & go straight home” sorta thing. No, because it doesn’t interest me, because I don’t swim in that pool.
