Wullie. Though it's possible you were reading the English translation. Well, all I can say is that it's been 55 years since my grandma used to mail a copy of the Sunday Post each week with two threepenny bits taped on the inside (one for me and one for my brother). I have to say I still find an upt...

The rise of Leslyn Lewis proves abortion is still a powerful political issue in Canada Actually, it does no such thing. Like all social conservatives in Canada, Ms Lewis recognises some things are done deals, and any attempt to reopen them is just going to lose votes. I bought a five year membershi...

Remembering Ed Brayton

Every single time I had the displeasure of finding Brayton online, he was up to no good. This was not a good man, and he certainly did a great disservice to the atheist community.

And why isn't chocolate milk available everywhere, like white milk?

So, what shall we do about the Novichok? "Merkel urged to act" and "Merkel has the Mettle to Stare Down Putin" say the headlines in The Times. But what can or should she do?

If you're deaf, your a member of the 'deaf community' & should prioritize that identity. Your disability isn't lack of hearing/ but society's failure to accommodate you.

It was grey and not black, but rat #81 was felled with a hollow point slug by a white vigilante on my front deck. I enjoyed every moment.

I see that those who drive a Dark Triad personality have learned a new and profitable behaviour - signalling virtuous victimhood.

Signaling virtuous victimhood as indicators of Dark Triad personalities.

I grew up somewhere like that in Wiltshire. Apart from nine years in London, I've since lived somewhere even smaller and more remote. We may have less rioting, but we easily win when it comes to alcoholism, prescription drug abuse, incest and sheep with PTSD.

Harris could well soon be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.

In short, Kamala Harris is a threat to our Republic. This goes far beyond 'lesser o...

I guess you Yanks will be having a President Harris in office before 2024 then (I doubt Biden will last four years). Wonder who she'll pick as VP? Most Canadians will swoon with approval when she takes the reins.

Seriously, though, it's mad. The explosion was caused by 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate that reportedly had just been stored there at the dock since 2014. Now the port's completely ruined. 2,700 tons! I was a little concerned we'd lost our crown, but the Halifax explosion still wins at 2.9kilotons.

All that red smoke from NO₂ is pretty, but quite deadly at the kind of concentrations where you can see the colour. Hope it blew out to sea as they have quite enough problems without that too.

NZ does put out some quirky low budget films. And our humour is dry, a bit like our best white wines. Black Sheep is my favourite New Zealand film. That's a classic. Based on a true life story. Yes, I was once a sheep farmer, and I found it a convincing horror story rather than a comedy. But I was ...

Watch Boy, and Hunt for the Wilderpeople, next. I believe I will. What is it about NZ that makes them produce such strange and offbeat comedy? Is Waititi just inspired by Jackson, or are you all that way? For the few who may not know, before Jackson blotted his escutcheon with Tolkien, he was belov...

Finally saw JoJo Rabbit, and I have to agree that it is very good. Also funny, moving and upsetting. I was not familiar with Taika Waititi, so I moved on to What We Do In The Shadows, a vampire mockumentary that might some some tastes here:

One thing you can never say about Jordan Peterson is that he has an idealised perspective on life or that he ever denied the potential for misery.
