If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Well I’ve just finished Niall Ferguson’s “The Pity of War”, a mere twenty years after it was published, as no one told me about it (which I shall choose to blame on Brive, Kirbmarc and Trump). A bit of a dry read as it is stuffed with facts, tables and figures, but if you thought you knew about WW1,...

For your amusement, an associate professor at WLU has written about “Hegemonic Masculinity Among Men Experiencing Homelessness and Mental Illness.” Apparently they aren’t nice people because they all blame, sexualize or revere women. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/christie-blatchford-another-probl...

If you were a sexually abused woman fleeing to a women's shelter and got put in a double room with a pre-op transwoman, would you make a human rights complaint?

It may be that your recent issue with palpitations will turn out to be anxiety related, using Occam's britva.
